Every single person will come to a point where there first attempt at
something doesn’t work and they have to start over. I'm sure you’ve seen the
movie groundhog day. In the end Bill Murray uses the fact that he relives every
day to his advantage.
That seems like an excellent way to roll. Mitch did mention today that
making mistakes is vital for learning and I cannot agree more. I feel prepared
for when things might go wrong and experience has taught me that I need to get
things wrong in order to get things right.
I am glad I have another chance and am very grateful for everyone that has
helped me.
Fortunately the groundhog day feeling only lasted about 5 seconds as
everything is brand new and shiny.
New timetable.
I like the fact that all lectures are in a row with no days in-between. We have
the whole weekend for self-directed study. This will help so much with my self organization.
New digital painting sessions.
I think the new visual design with its extra digital painting sessions is a
very good addition to the course and I believe it will benefit us all. I am an
advocate of self-teaching but I do like to be pushed in a different direction
and be taught by someone else every once in a while. Its a nice balanced way of
learning.
I even asked for extra homework and it was given to me. I could quite
happily just go home and paint anything but I wanted a brief to stick to for
now just to build myself up again.
20 greyscale renders of alien environments for next week. I plan on
starting directly after this post.
New building
It definitely has better feng shui. But anything would be better than that
rotting corpse of a building we were in last year. The atmosphere is better
too. It smells nice. All of these things make me more relaxed about being here.
New cohort.
Everyone seems friendly enough. I have not really had a chance to chat with
them yet. There is plenty of time for that though.
