Well, I’ve survived my first week in full time education in 22 years! Monday saw our introduction to Jewellery – we started with a design sheet and learning various techniques. The afternoon was spent starting to explore ‘line’ in contextual studies. On Tuesday we started looking at the print workshop and more drawing exercises, with the afternoon being introduced to our contextual studies in Art Nouveau (we’re doing an art journal for this one, yay!). And on Friday we looked at graphic design with emphasis on illustration, with even more drawing. Anyone would think that we’re on an art course 😉
