Day One

Err ..... um...... Hello .......?

  1. Well, hello there, Ethan! Yes, it's me - the chatty one you spoke to earlier; hope you're feeling less anxious? I know it's a big deal - the whole university thing - but remember, you don't have to be good at everything when you arrive! Education and creativity are a process - individuals travel at different speeds and go on different journeys - but let me be very straight with you - the only way to feel less anxious about your drawing is to do more of it! You'll be doing lots of 2d work alongside your cg stuff, so do try not to see it as your enemy, but rather as something beneficial! Okay - lecture over...

    Your blog is a creative space for your thoughts and inspirations; I want you to upload animations that inspire you, trailers that excite or annoy you; I want to see favourite artists, and art that you hate or don't understand. I want you to use it as a mood board - a place to 'pin' your development, your drawings; your blog is going to accompany you throughout your time with us - part sketch-book, part-diary and, one day soon, a way for you to promote your talents. So - this is the rule - no secrets on this blog; don't hide your mistakes, get them out there, talk about them, move on; your weaker drawings/ideas will lead to stronger ideas, so DON"T THROW ANYTHING AWAY - NO DELETIONS! Just relax, 'think outloud' and let your creativity develop!


    Below – addresses for new first year blogs currently up and running (I’ll post more as they go live). Go say “hi” – get that first awkward introduction over before the first day of term!

  2. Hi Ethan ! Jackie here. Still trying to get to grips with this whole blogging thing...I suppose I'd better get used to it! Hope you've had a look through the brief - jot down any questions and we can try and sort them out on Monday. See you then!
