I love looking at nice chess sets, some of them are works of art that I would be afraid to play in case they got broken. So while I can appreciate the design that goes into the look of some of the pieces, I don't think I will ever be a fan of the game.
So my time table for college has me there everyday of the week but Monday, which is fine by me. Gives me a day to sleep in :p I don't know how much art from college I will be posting here as I don't know if and when I can bring it home (and I really would hate for something to get wrecked on the bus), but I will try to post some of what I draw.
Which does mean that there will be nekkid people on the blog once we start life drawing class. oh noes!! nekkid people run away! ;p
I really cannot draw people. Well I can, but not very well :p So that should be interesting lol So some people might get offended by the art, but on the other hand I draw people so badly you probably won't be able to tell its a person and it very well could look more like an alien from a sci-fi movie :p
I think I'm going be roped into being the practice life model. :-S
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, I don't mind, saves money and helps Mrs.F with her art :-)
Thankfully isn't winter yet :-)
I can't play chess either, my husbands attempts at teaching me end in us both getting really fed up with each other lol! I share your issues with drawing people too! Good luck with it, I should prbably do the same...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the college, I really hope it goes well for you. Life classes are great, but like you I had trouble drawing the nekkid form, but it is such good practice. Methinks M F will make a super model for you to use !
ReplyDeleteIf you can't bring work home, take your camera and take pics to post to the blog!
ReplyDeleteAnd we want to see a pic of Mr. Fuzzy the Pirate posing for you...er...do we?
Adorable chess pic, BTW :)
I can't wait to see you nekked people! It'll be fun to see you debating on what to post or not post.
ReplyDelete& again, congrats on getting in to college.
- Leslie - just have to wait and see if she risks posting her sketches or not.
ReplyDeleteI told her she should run a poll LOL...maybe not such a good idea though from me....
Laura- I'm going to try to play chess again, hopefully we don't end up in a shouting match :p
ReplyDeleteVic- thanks :) they do say practice makes perfect, but who are they? ;p
Leslie- can't bring a camera to the class, against the rules due to there being life models so hopefully I can bring some of it home instead. I'm going to have to get him a pirate hat now :p
Ingrid- I could always post everything and then post fig leaves over areas if people complain lol but it is an art blog so people should be all right seeing it :) and thanks :D hopefully I can make it through the year
...life modelling wearing only a pirate hat.....now theres a scary idea :P
ReplyDeleteI can't play chess either. Though I have only ever tried once. My partner likes it though but doesn't play much.
ReplyDeleteI also love the look of some of the boards they make. Some are so beautiful and I wish I could buy them just to display.
