Art

For this week's blog post, I'm going to write about something different from my regular blog posts. Besides of writing about anime or manga, I'll be writing about art; the classes that are available at AHS, and if I'm not lazy then classes at CSU East Bay, and also Alameda College.
So far, I have taken Art and I'm currently in Art2 (with a bunch of juniors and seniors) at AHS. If I'm not lazy, I'll ask my sister about the art classes at CSU East bay and also if she has any new techniques she could teach you and me. and also if I ask my sister, I'll also ask my brother about his classes at Alameda College, since he's currently taking two Art classes there and also an Art History class. If I do ask them, I'll post them up in next week's blog post, maybe, maybe not. Lol. Okay, so to start this off Alameda High School Art.
Alameda High School's art classes aren't that bad considering the low economy and lack of supplies for schools. Well actually Art one with ___*bleep*___ (not mentioning the name for safe purposes, Lol.) wasn't that good of a teacher. In Art 1, I didn't learn anything new; instead we were on our own on creating "masterpieces." Art two, the class I’m currently taking right now is way different. Here are three reasons why. Reason one: The teacher actually helps us individually. Reason Two: There is way more supplies to use (more variety.) Reason three: We can be creative in our own way and still get graded on that. Reason Four: Us students can choose some of our projects for an actual grade. (Whoops I gave an extra reason! Oh well.) The supplies that we are allowed to use without a teacher’s permission are watercolors and brushes, graphite pencils, ebony pencils, prismacolor color pencils, tempura paints, shading pencils, and special art paper. The special art paper may not sound important, but each kind helps with a specific kind of art form. Example: Watercolor paper helps enhance the watercolor paints, I think. The "hard" paper is for pencils only because of the quality of it. The regular paper is for rough drafts, so you can mess up as much as you want. End of examples. Lol. These special papers (except regular paper) is very expensive, so don't mess up on you’re final draft.
The project I'm currently working on right now is a watercolor painting of a rose. I just started last week, so it'll be a while before I complete it.
Note: Since I need a picture for this blog post, I'll upload the acrylic painting I painted at home, during my free-time.
Warning: It may be really bad! >_<
I guess I'll continue with the rest next week, maybe, maybe not! :P
Oh yeah, hahahaha at my horrible camera/photo taking skills!!!
