oops..

Though I know this will be graded accordingly, I am missing commentary from class on 2.18 and 1.23, I did not have time before my flight to obtain magazines from you (my fault), but they will be here in the near future for the next grade I guess, sorry.

Just some fun facts because I really don't have that many new developments. I would rather educate my reader at this point on Libras rather than bore them with repetative information...hopefully next week I can come with some new and interesting developments.

I am officially bored with this project. Not because the process itself is boring, I was really excited about it...but because I guess I should have picked a different subject or found a better way to approach it. I can't even really find a way to digitally document it, most of it consists of horoscopes that I have found online. I need to get some help and start figuring out a way to put this all together. When you are just reading them for fun and not relying on them to a point for every day, they are fun. When i feel like it is a neccessity to find some sort of importance in them, it gets hard for me to find that and takes away the playfullness of it all.

2.15.08

So, i started off this project under the assumption that there might be some coincidental truth to these horoscopes, like they somehow magically fit into my life... I'm now starting to take that back. Lately, nothing is hitting and although that is not the point that I am trying to reach, it's annoying. I've been reading them to other people and it seems to be on more for them than me. I have looked at other sources for horoscopes too..most of them dealing with love and romance (which is way in left field for me) so, honestly I just want to put those aside because they are too much of a dissapointment. I am gonna stick to something that will give me hope to succeed in matters of finance or friendship instead.

2.8.08

So I have continued to make myself aware on a daily basis of my horoscope. I researched and found that my sign is considered the most desirable...but my life doesn't really seem like something to be desired at the moment. So maybe it is just the characteristics that i am supposed to possess. I continue to do the same every week with collecting these and occassionally encounter some humour but still remain confused on my end results.

2.27.08

We finished up presentations today and it was my turn, I feel like I did ok due to the feedback I received. When I was doing all of this stuff with Barbie, I felt really ametuer.But i am becoming more and more comfortable expressing my ideas, especially in front of the class, they all seem to think similar to me. I need to remember to focus on the concept more so than the physical elements of the pieces...after all, the class is concepts, right? Even still, I am hoping to get better at both of those elements and figure out who I am as an artist and what my strong points are.

2.6.08

Field trip number 2!! I never have the chance/time in my hectic schedule to visit museums so I love that we are taking the time out to do so. Most of the time I feel that I am so lost with what is going on in the contemporary art world. Malena keeps stressing the importance of our knowledge of surrounding artists and their work, I need to start picking up more magazines!! I had never been to the mint museum before and somehow I thought that I would be a little more impressed, I don't really know what I was expecting though. I wonder why the lady really only concentrated on the fiber pieces, and she seemed to keep wanting to cut Malena off which kind of bothered me even though she was a cute old lady. She mentioned learning to felt at the end which i think could be an interesting technique to learn.
