National Portfolio Day!

So i arrived at national portfolio day at 11:30 with Lindsay and very glad i did because the lines were already growing. I went to the Cornish guy first - which was acctually the only one i really wanted to go to - He, really liked my art :) which is good because i am applying there for dance. It was also great because when i told the other schools tht i was acctually going into dance they were a bit taken aback and confused as to why i was there which was a tad akward. But anyway the Cornish guy gave me good ideas and advice. I espeically liked that he was used to the encaustics and told me how you can incorporate lots of thengs like beads which i now really want to try :) BEADS! in WAX!
I went to the Academy of Arts and the University of Arts - which has a good dance program - and they pretty much said the same stuff but the UA guy was a bit scary. They all told me that technically i was strong and they liked my thought process a lot they were also excited to see where i would go with my work because they could see it was random right now but had potential to becoming very whole this year. And as expected they told me to GO BIG and draw from OBSERVATION ( i hope your reading this Mrs McBride haha).
Another interesting this was the AA lady saw lots of small design inspiration in my work and pulled up concepts such as with the drawing in the back of my grandpas how i would seem like i owuld enjoy such things as even making the words part of the art by taking desgn and caligraphy classes. hmmm....
Oh and the Cornish guy was like "well seeing as you've applied and have an audition this takes care of your portfolio info we would need if your intrrested i ntaking art classes too" very cool :)
I have two audition ocming up :) :) nervous but excited.

This weekend i also helped to host a fun dance party asa going away fot my friend ashley, and MORP which was fun too :)

wow i wrote a lot.
