Ernil Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 And Advanced Algebra. Can't forget that; It's vitally important. And easy. And fun.
Emma Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 You're sick, man. You do realise that mathematics are the education systems way of torturing you. Right?
Yufster Posted November 5, 2003 Author Posted November 5, 2003 Oh, theorems are like red hot pokers stuck in my eye balls.
Emma Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I'm sick and had to miss uni today. It was Alternative Photographic Printing Techniques, too, but I still need to go in and collect my prints from yesterday.
Reaper Girl Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Originally posted by Yufster Oh man do I love myself. @Emma: is art colledge hard to get into? Curious.
Emma Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Hmm. Well, wasn't that difficult for me considering I never studied art in school, but I think they let me off with that because I am a mature student and I presented a good portfolio. Maybe it's because I'd started a degree before, too (although, it was in a completely different field). I think knowing your stuff and what you like is the most important part.
Reaper Girl Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 thanks a much... *looks at barren portfolio* hmm...seems i have a bit of work to do, then...
Emma Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I know that getting into art school can be quite competative, but the good thing about it is you could have never studied art in your life (like me), but know enough about it through it being your hobby. Although, technically, I'm not studying art - I'm doing a course called Photography in the Arts. But I s'pose I'm still at the school of art and design. Also, my boyfriend graduated from his art degree about 2 years ago. Check out his website at http://www.jameswfoster.com
Skinkie Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 I'm studying art in BG State University. However the teachers are all looking for these deep symbolic meanings behind everything and when they ask me to explain what it is, I'm like, "what's it look like? That's what it is." They don't seem to like that very much. I think I'm gonna change my major to computer sciences, then apply to Double Fine Prouctions to work on games such as the excellenct Pychonauts ,and kill off everyone who gets in my way.
Alia Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 You have impeccable taste and remarkable discernment. I congratulate you. Any friend of Double Fine is a friend of mine.
Emma Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 I applied for a job at Double Fine once, I didn't get it, but I did get an e-mail from Tim Schaefer.
Alia Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 I guess you didn't apply hard enough. If I were you, I'd have used an animal balloon and a jackhammer and two parakeets to get my point across. And if that didn't work, spent normal working hours on the front steps mourning and wailing in my favorite sackcloth hoodie! And if THAT didn't work, I would storm off in a huff and work for Lucasarts, repeating steps 2 and 3 as necessary. If for some strange, awful, incomprehensible reason that didn't work... I MIGHT take the huge 7 figure position that Sierra has been begging me to fill ever since I was in the second grade.
Skinkie Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 Hmmm, I have a jackhammer and an animal balloon, I guess I just need some parakeets, and for good measure I'll send them a real two headed baby for a mascot. That ought to win them over.
Emma Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 Tim did say that if I had lived in the US he would have interviewed me, but without a degree it's very hard to get immigration into the US. Anyhoo, I guess I tried! And I'm doing a fun degree now.
roytordes'babe Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 what type of degree are you doing......I just thought I would take interest.
Emma Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 I'm doing a degree in Photography in the Arts at the Swansea Institute of Higher Education. I'm really enjoying it so far and it's muuuuuch better than the two degrees I attempted previously.
roytordes'babe Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 I am thinking of doing that too, but im not to sure I am more thinking across the lines of becoming a model and let people take photos of me.
Emma Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Modelling can be fun as well, although, if you're working in a studio the lights are really really hot and you sometimes have to hold a pose for ages - it hurts. :S If you're quite theatrical and energetic then you'll make a good model. Photographers like it when models give them ideas too. I think I prefer being the other side of the camera, though. There's just something I really really like about photography even if I was almost in tears over my 'Self' project this morning - turned out fine in the end and I got a few good comments, including one by my tutor saying I'd done well to get my printing standard up to scratch.
roytordes'babe Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Well keep on at it, in a few years you could be rich and running your own business, there is a lot of money in photography.
Emma Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Indeedy. One day I'd like to be as respected as Cindy Sherman throughout the art world for my photography.
roytordes'babe Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 I wish you all the luck in making this suceed then.
roytordes'babe Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Your welcome, people should follow with what ever inspires them.
Ernil Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Like, for example, a HUGE root-beer float? It got me inspired to eat it. Truly. Just this evening. Finally....my calling...
