The University Classics (Important update)
🕑 Added 2025-04-01 04:00:12 +0000 UTCHey guys, this is an important update to give and for you to keep in mind so you're not too confused.
I've mentioned that I'm currently in college, where I'm majoring in Studio Art. and there are a lot of projects I had to work on that takes time away from my usual Patreon Content. To make up for the gaps on content, I decided to release any projects from my art-related classes. You get to see a lot of art that I would never do otherwise, plus you'll receive more content than what my classmates saw.
Because this semester is still ongoing and the syllabi of my professors aren't set in stone, I'm going to release these six months after my critique date, since by then It would be a new semester, and I would've have plenty of time for addendums for previous semester projects. Typically I have a project for every month except May, as that month is mostly Final Exams and the Moving out period that isn't required because I commute from the outskirts anyway.
My first Project was critiqued in early February so expect to see that project in early August.
My final Projects for the Semester would probably be late April, early May, so expect to see them in late October or early November.
The following below will be an overview of all Art related classes for Spring Semester 2025, note that I have Astronomy 1010 (Astronomy of the Solar System), but there are no projects tied to that course.
Drawing I (DP Section 12)
It's the basic drawing class that basically covers the same shit that you'll find if you're taking an art class for the first time. So, I'm basically being retold Value, line, perspective for the umpteenth time. It's very lecture heavy and it feels like being forced to sit through the tutorial of a game that you've mastered by now, but Drawing I is a mandatory class for Art Majors.
When I release my drawing made for that class, I won't explain the context of it as it's literally a drawing made to show that I've understood x, y or z...Instead I'll explain how did I make the drawings, which is exactly how I presented my drawings during the day of my critic.
Introductory Studio Section 10
Another Mandatory class for not only Art Majors, but I believe Photography, Film (maybe?), and Theatre (maybe?). Unlike Drawing I, it dives less into how to make art, but dives more into the why do you make art. It's basically a philosophy class masquerading as an art class. I'm not limited in what mediums to use, and the subject matter mostly revolves around abstract concepts that may sound like the pretentious modern artist talk that even I roll my eyes at.
Intro Studio would most likely have the most content to look forward too, as the art I make for those classes does get experimental, or non-conventional. Also, when it's time for my projects to be presented and critiqued, my peers and professor does give feed back that I've actually have receipts of. That feedback will be used for Addendums that will be exclusive to Patreon, where you guys will get to see an expanded version of what my classmates saw.
My projects also has to have what we call an "Artist Statement" They're basically just the description that provides more context to an art piece, I will include the Artist Statements and recorded feedback from classmates, with my annotations included. I'll have to come up with creative pseudonyms because I respect my peers' privacy.
Astronomy of the Solar System (Astronomy 1010)
There will be no projects from this class. In fact, the majority of that class is lectures, the occasional lab assignments, and the occasional quiz or exam.
For those Curious, this is basically your intro to Astronomy, where we start at the Solar System. Astronomy 1020 goes beyond the Solar System and talks about the galaxies and stuff, so basically you get into the more interesting stuff about outer space like black holes, dark matter, or some of the weird hypotheticals.
The Irony of this course is that it took until 2/3 into the semester to finally talk about the Solar System proper, the origins, the planets, and some of the moons whenever relevant. The majority of the course is spent talking about physics and chemistry, wavelengths and energy.
