What I did this week (14 mar 2014)
Monday was boring, but tuesday was great: absolutely bursting at the seams with exciting things. I started out the day with a crit in jewelry (I turned in a terrible project), though I left at 9am for a meeting in the MindMarket. I returned to jewelry an hour later to find the crit still dragging on. At 11am, I headed over to the Hills for friendship lunch. After we ate, Dana, Dorian, Don, and I wandered around looking at fine arts thesis shows. It was lovely—all the more so because temperatures were in the 60s! After lunch, we had a nice time in senior ad—somewhat of a return to our class’ pre-One Show levity. I even wrote a nice tweet about my History of 2-d Design teacher, so you can tell I was in a pleasant mood.
Wednesday was low-key. I was late to Motion Graphics because I had a meeting with Mr. Lutz, but nobody really cared. After class, I went home and kept working frantically on my thesis. While I wait for yarn to arrive, I’m focusing my energy on organizing old photos and setting up interview appointments with some “CCAD silverbacks”.
Thursday, I spent most of jewelry writing a plan for the rest of the semester. It didn’t make much sense to start any new, intensive projects with spring break looming so close. Dempsey drove downtown to join me for lunch, which was nice. After that, Senior Ad basically consisted of presentations that seemed to last forever. The weather was cold again and the weight of my unreasonable goals began distressing me. Not a nice way to begin spring break!
I drove back down to school on friday morning for an oral history interview with Danny Hinty, manager of CCAD’s Art Supply Store since 1974. It was a good start to this new phase of my thesis project. More news as all that develops.
