MY CLASSES
The title of the post sound boring huh? yea im gonna spill out what kinda stuff i have been doing in sch. those not interested can stop reading @ this point of time :-p
Orientation FINALLY ended. FINALLY. it is so dead boring with all the talks and stuff. and i cant believe im one of the prob less than 5% of "good" students that attended everything. my roommate prob attended 5 % of the orientation only... haha
FIRST YEAR SEMINAR: ART OF CROSSING THE STREET
Supposed to be learning about artist's role in the society and stuff like that. A lot of field trip! so it is not a dead classroom environment. Lots of discussion and debate going on... its time to speak up more. I realized only this week that taking this class is a mistake. cos i dont have any english transfer credits and i "skipped" the essay writing class, which is a pre-requisite to the seminar. talked to the admissions ppl, they told me to take another FYS next year to replace the essay writing... sian
FILM 1
Of course this is a course about film. everything and anything abt it. And of course it is my fav class! We learnt abt 16mm filmmaking and the bolex camera. really heavy though, but im so excited to start rolling my first roll of film. it is really intensive though, so much technical knowledge to master that i got a big headache after my first class. but of course it is like mastering the paintbrush for a painter, a filmmaker's tool is the camera :-p so no two ways of going about it. And best of all we get to watch experimental shorts in class!
FUNDAMENTALS OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY
I will describe this class as a big rojak. We are doing photoshop, after effects, flash, kinetics, light, electronics, robotics, etc etc. I was hoping they can touch on holography and neon but apparently they are not... *disappointed*. first lesson i learn photoshop - the basics. which is dead boring, cos i really have known everything that the instructor taught. What im really looking forward to is after effects and flash!!! and we are going to see the dan flavin show @ museo de contemporary art!
