First Week Of Lectures And Beyond~

Yess it has been a week and several days since i last posted anything, because i had alot of work to do. So i am gonna catch up and post last weeks happenings. =_="

First week of lectures were not that bad actually. Just introductions and getting to know my whimsical lecturers. Theres the Graphics Design lecturer, Mr.Ramlan, my Design Fundamental lecturer Che Ahmad Azhar, or more well known as CheMad, Drawing lecturer, En.Tajjali, Media Maths lecturer Mrs.Ruzlina, and Media Appreciation lecturer En.Sabri.

All the lecturers are pretty nice, but it has been engraved at the back of my head that both the design lecturers will not hesitate to tear up any artwork, assignment or project that isnt up to par or if it is felt that not enough heart and soul is poured into the work. Great.... >_>

Just today i handed in my assignments of 70 pictures that i had to draw for design fundamentals. Not that i am complaining, but i had to draw 70 pictures of stuff that i see anywhere that looks like something else with my imagination. =_= At times i was like "WTF To drawwwww". Because. Simple as it may seem, you will start to draw weird things like toilet bowls looking like a mouths, cats poop looking like bananas, rocks that look like baloons, and dust spots on walls that look like a pretty girls beause you will start running out of ideas. Yess, now i understand why the seniors said that FCM students will go mad by the end of the semester, as i am already losing my mind. Some students are even giggling for no reason...

Thats just for design fundamentals. I feel extremely fortunate that there was no assignment for graphics design yet. YET. So far it was a simple task of printing vectors and pasting onto A3 paper. When the assignments start comming in i will be doing 10projects per week. Wooohoooo! Goodbye sleep! And for media appreciation i have to start a personal media journal. Ooooo. You mean that small book that you write random stuff in about your experiences? Noooooo~ Its a book where u have a section about yourself, MLA index, weekly tasks, media appreciation notes, and a conclusion section for the media we will watch during lecture. One may ask further, what does one do in media appreciation? We watch movies and write reviews and comments about them about . WOW. You get to watch movies and then just write a simple review? Great! But i did fail to mention that the movies are old. And artistic in nature. Go find a movie called Hoichi the Earless and Down to the Cellar by Jan Svankmejar. You will understand. =_=" However the assignment spans 14 weeks so its not so overbearing. Lol.

For drawing earlier this week i had to draw a bicycle. Bicycles were brought into the studio so we could practice. Previously, 2 circles with a line in between them and a line for the handlebars are good enough for me. But in drawing class i learnt how to draw more effectively. And contour drawing as well; as in the outline of an object. The lecturers asked the students to draw with hand eye coordination. Where the eye moves to follow the outline of an object the hands follow. Piece of cake. Until, they threw conditions to us. Like, drawing without looking at the paper at ALL, the pen must not leave the paper; so the picture is drawn in a single line as a contour picture, and with my left hand, and also different angles of the bicycle.

I saved the best for last. Media maths. What is media maths? O_o. Oh, why its addmaths! Disguised under a different name. =_= To my horror when i saw the syllabus. Ahahaha.... In a unrealistic section of my mind, i have a odd sense that add maths is stalking me, with a cattle prodder.
