................

My experience at the Art Institute so far has been extremely
stressful, but with

.. ..

 that stress becomes
the start of new skills one will possess. I’m going to write about my

.. ..

 experience at A.I.
from my first quarter, all the way to my second quarter. At the start of

.. ..

 my first quarter of
school I’m going to explain the shock, struggles, and criticism that

.. ..

 streaked my way. The
Second quarter portion of the blog will tell my first experience

.. ..

 with life drawing and
the critic of some of the work I produce throughout the previous

.. ..

 weeks from different
classes.

.. ..

            The first
day at the Art Institute right a way an abundance of work overflowed

.. ..

 upon me like a storm.
I cloud not believe shock and stress that pored down on me all in

.. ..

 one blow. From then
onward I’ve started to have doubts that I would progress

.. ..

 throughout my two
year experience at A.I. As the weeks went on so did the criticism

.. ..

in this one class Fundamentals of design the class had to
come up with different design

.. ..

 compositions every
week. For some reason Amy my teacher from that class will look at

.. ..

 some of my work and
from my perception she would make something up, as if it was

.. ..

 not to her liking
compared to everyone ealse.

.. ..

            It kind of
made me feel like I wasn’t good enough so I side to myself “look I

.. ..

 have to wake up here
and get the ball rolling” so from then on I put in more hours and

.. ..

 read as much as I can
on design. And I’ve made a major improvement in my designs

.. ..

  within the 5th
week onward, and notes the teacher actually saying something nice rather

.. ..

 saying something out
of kindness. Out of all the other classes I had the first quarter

.. ..

 Fundamentals were the
hardest of them all I’m very fortunate that I passed.

.. ..

            As the
second quarter came I felt confident because I’ve already knew the work

.. ..

 load and deadlines so
I wasn’t really expecting any harsh criticism until I had Life

.. ..

 Drawing. It was
really hellish for me in terms of drawing realistic, I can draw but in a

.. ..

 cartoonist type
of  style. Throughout my experience so
far it’s been hard I’ve able to

.. ..

 identify certain
points to draw the human form but still it comes out cartoony. But in

.. ..

 reality I have to be
able accept the style of drawing I posses even thou I can always

.. ..

 shaped up the way I
draw body forms but it really dose have an effect on me cuease

.. ..

week after week all most everyone comes in with these life
like drawing and I’m

.. ..

 sometimes the only
one who has his own cartoony style.

.. ..

            It’s
painful cause when the class draws from the models we get time a certain

.. ..

 number of minutes and
when we are done  we stand up and we look
at each others

.. ..

 drawings. As wear
looking I tend to listen to other people who are talking about my

.. ..

 sketch and some
laughed. It kills me sometimes causes it demolishes my will to

.. ..

 accomplish anything,
and will put me in a place were I don’t even feel like drawing.

.. ..

But I learned that some people are just naturally talented
in something’s and you

.. ..

 shouldn’t feel bad
for yourself just because one can’t draw realistically, you have to

.. ..

 embrace what god give
you and don’t be ashamed what your cons are cuease one day

.. ..

 you will over come
with practices until you can finally accomplish your goal.

.. ..

            In
conclusion my experience at the Art Institute is very stressful but it’s

.. ..

 educational I am
learning new skills but I don’t take criticism will I have to learn how to

.. ..

 take other people
criticism and turn it into a positive so I can be able to progress and be

.. ..

 at ease and be happy
with my skill.
