Back to School

I started school today!!

I was able to read through my first module for my Thesis Project Seminar class. This class is to prepare for my Midpoint Review next semester where I will present a proposal for my final thesis project which I will work on throughout the rest of my time at Academy of Art. It was probably a mistake to read through this course first because now I'm incredibly overwhelmed. What if I don't come up with a good enough idea to present? What if I present it and the panel rejects it? Ahhh!! I need to calm down and take one day at a time. I'm hoping this class will be an awesome opportunity to brainstorm and get my creative juices flowing. One of the requirements is to create a journal for the semester, it'll be used for thoughts, ideas, influences and research for my proposal. I'm excited to buy one and get it started.

My other class is The Art and Ideology of the 20th Century. I watched a video for it the other night. The term "absolute truth meaning" was used 10+ times in about 6 minutes and the first module is titled "Friedrich Nietzsche." I think it might be smart if I turned in for the night and tackled that tomorrow. Haha. I have a feeling that as I get more into this semester and closer to my midpoint review/thesis project, I will be posting blogs that relate to what I'm working on.

Good luck to my fellow friends who have started, or are starting school soon! We can do it!

about to fall

Isn't everyone pretending they're alright

Isn't everyone about to fall

Isn't everyone playing beautiful tonight

Isn't everyone about to fall

Oh, but we're holding on just like there's nothing wrong

Oh even if we look so strong we're all about to fall

The popular trends currently among the youngsters are tattoos and body arts. Almost everyone, especially the teens and the college-goers, are planning to get their custom-designed tattoo in the desired part of their body. It is indeed rare to find anyone who has no tattoos. There are also people who get tattoos in more than one part of their body. For example, you can find an office worker with a rose tattoo near her chest, tribal artwork on her back and a floral drawing on her leg. This clearly indicates tattoos being accepted in the corporate environment.

Tribal Tattoos

However, they are becoming more complex recently and developing constantly and has come to what are known as neo tribal tattoos.

Some try to mix this style with the Japanese one, but it is not a good combination.
