What I did this week (4 apr 2014)
Motion graphics was cancelled on monday, so I stayed home. I’ve got a lot of different things going on, so that was fine.
Tuesday, I frantically worked to carve some waxes. Literally nobody showed up to our customary friendship lunch at the Hills (busy times!) but I met up with Dana to look at a few fine arts thesis shows, so the time was redeemed. Mr. Mohr brought a bunch of MaKey MaKey devices into Senior Ad, ostensibly to encourage us to consider including interactive technology component into our thesis projects. We spent an hour or so playing around with the things, which was fun. He let us out of class a little early so we could enjoy the warm weather. It felt irresponsible to relax outside, even for just twenty minutes.
Wednesday, I worked all morning on sweater-making for thesis. I dropped by the CCAD Archives office to meet with Leah. We had a really great conversation about my progress. In motion graphics, we messed around with camera tracking in After Effects. I came home and kept working on thesis sweaters, then stayed up extra-late working on materials for Directions. It was a satisfying day.
Thursday was rainy and dreary. I discovered a pea-sized hole in the sole of my loafers about 5 minutes after I got to school—bad news. In jewelry I cast some doodads in bronze. After that, Jason and I had lunch at Hubert’s Polish Kitchen in belated honor of his birthday. All three hours of Senior Ad were spent watching presentations of some sort: Mr. Mohr talked for a while about job interviews; Julia shared about a business trip she’d taken; we spent the rest of class watching classmates brief us on their thesis projects and engaging in unusually rancorous discussion. Everybody’s about to explode, I think.
