Month: November 2017

I have been working diligently on my micrography for the last couple of weeks, mostly because I have been really in a slump for the past couple of weeks working on my senior mastery. I want to do more on it, but I feel like I’m missing something that would really tie it in with everything, so I have to just keep trying and figure it out. I ended up doing Hickory Jones from the music video “Sonora” by Spendtime Palace, because it is a song I find myself listening to more often than not. He is played by Finn Wolfhard, an actor I really enjoy, and actually directed and produced by Filmquake, whose real name is Josh Ovalle, a young 17 year old producer who has gotten famous from Vine. He, along with his 22 year old brother created their own music studio and create their own music videos for various bands, such as PUP and Spendtime Palace.

I think compassion and kindness needs to be the center of AAST, and it should indulge in said roots. I know that not everyone is going to follow ater everyone, but I think it is important that before ANYONE comes to the academy they know what kind of school this is, and the teachers are able to tell what kind of kid someone is going to be. Some kids, though they applied, would much rather be somewhere else than here, and that is not what this school is about. If you cannot give it your all and be kind to EVERYONE, you do not need to be here.

I thought the video had a lot of good points that everyone should see; and that everyone needs to see. It is in no way shape or form okay to judge others on their physical appearance. In Luke 6:31, it is said “Do to others as you would have them do to you”. We should all follow this scripture, because it in important for now.

I am thankful for God. I always have been and always will be. He is working miracles right now for me, and I could not be happier.

 

I have been continuously working on my Senior Mastery Micrography, more so than I have been working on my other items for my mastery, just because I feel I’ve been in a lull for it. I have no been so interested the last couple of weeks to continue the trail for my mastery of my 80’s posters solely because I have run out of the interest. I am hoping that once I finish my micrography that I will have more influence and passion for finishing my mastery. I feel I am in too deep to change it, and I don’t really want to change it.

My micrography is coming along fairly well, I just wish I had more time to work on the background because I feel with the background it would look more perfected, but I may just do some solid shapes in the background to counter the lettering in the text, but I am still unsure on what that would look like, and if it would look good at all.

I enjoyed the guest speaker(s) we had, even though I was only present for one of them, which was the woman from CCU. It was definitely a compelling speech and talk, and I was happy to know she was genuinely interested in what we were working on and how far we have all come into the design world, but that still did not peak or exclaim my interest to continue my education into college. She was very nice and she definitely peaked interest of others in the room, and I am grateful for that. I was also present for Justin’s wife, which was more fun than it was informative, mostly because I already knew where she worked and who she was, and I had already determined for myself that I wasn’t as interested in that as I was interested in what Justin was doing at my church. It was still fun to have her come in and talk to the class, and all that I can hope for with all the people coming in to talk to everyone is that someone in the class will get something out of it.

I was happy with the outcome of the grades I have gotten the first quarter. I was in the 90-80’s for all of my classes and I was not disappointed in the way they came out. I know I have been working hard for the first quarter and I am hoping I can express and do the same for the rest of the semester, and the semester after that.
