Damn, I just got back from holiday and I won't be able to do it for tomorrow D: does this disqalify me as a student?

Since joining the class late.. I've finished assignment 1 and dove right into assignment 2. Moodboard is finished, and I plan to work on the portrait tonight even though I haven't left any time for critique on my first assignment. I really want to be right on track with everyone else on assignment 3.

Oi, I'm in the S-Realism class, but I've been incredibly busy during August (family member visiting, five-day trip without internet, etc. etc.) and haven't finished assignment 1 yet; is there any point in turning it in, or should I just go straight to lesson 2?

So, are we still doing the meme and just forgetting the self portrait?
π: 0 β©: 1
You gotta do a portrait of something else, bro.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

I was just told that a spot for this class opened up for me, so I took it. Should I aim to complete the first assignment before taking up the second one? Not sure since the first assignment is already past due. I assume I should try to do both..? let me know.

Ohman, I only recently found out that I could join this (I was on a wait list), and at some point I guess I misread that the first assignment was due on September 17th so aaaaaaaaugh /horrible student
Can I still do the first assignment and send it in even if it's late, and then work on this? /worried

Unfortunately, I thought Lesson 1 was due today and I haven't yet turned it in. Should I still submit it today, even though it's late?

All right, awesome. :3
I have another question. On photoshop, I'm not able to put any new layers on the Influence meme. I think it's because it's in PNG form. Do you have it as a JPEG or a PSD?
π: 0 β©: 1
No. There is no reason a .png file format would prevent you from adding layers, either.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, it may not because it's in PNG format, but the option to add a new layer is grayed out.
π: 0 β©: 1
Are you working in Photoshop Elements? I don't know how to work in Elements.
Try this: Copy the image, instead of saving it. Paste it into a new file, which should automatically constrain itself to the size of the item on the clipboard.
Flatten the image.
Now you should be able to add layers (though frankly, I can't imagine why you couldn't in the first place. I have never had this problem with .png images.)
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I don't think I've ever had that happen before. Weird.
But yes, that worked. Thank you!

Excellent. I AM EXCITE.

Would a photo of a musician or something be acceptable for part two? Or should I go find a website with stock photos or something?
π: 0 β©: 1
A musician is A-OK!
π: 0 β©: 1
so...do we NOT do the portrait part after all?
π: 0 β©: 1
Not a self-portrait, just a portrait of any stock photo you like.
TAA has rules against self-portraits and I was not aware.

the link for the meme isn't working

You totally needed me for spellcheck on this, bb. Where was I?!
(Good lesson, though! <3)
π: 0 β©: 1
Illustrator doesn't have spellcheck. I'm too lazy to fix this, argh. I bet I misplaced some Is and Es or something.
LOL I'm not on AIM today. And aren't you at work? :0
π: 0 β©: 1
I am on a laptop! C: Thus I am also not on AIM. I am waiting for 36 yellow grand marnier cupcakes to pop out of the oven. ;A;
π: 0 β©: 1
o_o I don't even know what that is.
GRAND MARN-YAY?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's like an orange liquer spelt the snobby -quer way! Or maybe I am misspelling it. Grand marn-yay although plenty of people say marn-yair the same way lots of people say fondant as fonDUE.
Aaaaaand I just let them say it however.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not a huge fan of grand marnier but lots of other people are!

I am going to ponder this myself (despite not being in the class :'|) since it's really not something I've sat down and given thought to before. I know... Some of my influences, from the perspective of "that is what I want to do when I grow up gain more knowledge/skill" but...
It's definitely something to think about.
π: 0 β©: 1
The thinking part is as important as the hand-eye coordination part, I think.
π: 0 β©: 0
That one question, I can't really figure out what exactly it means:
"Do my influences feel relevant to who I am right now?"
As in, artistically? Personally?
π: 0 β©: 1
Either/or. Both. Whatever works.

look like i did the second lesson before the first one XP amazing lesson
i hope i can finish at time

THIS IS A GOOD LESSON.
It's amaaaze how little people actually really think about their own work, and reflect upon it.
Often, we just get shit done, and move on to the next image. We never really stop to think, consider, and reflect honestly and objectively on the work we do.
I am not even in this 'class' and am super pleased with this lesson ahaha! Good stuuufff!

CRITICAL THINKIIIIIIINNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGggg
π: 0 β©: 1
YOU HAVE NO IDEA how many times I heard "you need to be more critical about your work" from my instructors during my first two years of school. I had no idea what that meant until third year where I finally asked, "WAT DO YOU MEEEAAAN?" Because for the longest time, I thought they were trying to tell me I needed to be "DEEP" and "CRITICAL" with my work...like, making social commentary n' shit. And I just can't do thaaat (because from me it seems to contrived and shallow)
They were like, "no--just know what your work is, what it's doing, and why you're making it the way you aaare."
"Oh. :T"
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL I can totally see how you would misinterpret that, too, especially in Fine Art curriculum.
I'M SO JEALOUS OF YOUR SCHOOLING SOMETIMES, DUDE
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeeaaah, especially in first and second year, you're surrounded by so much BULLSHIT from uninformed peers, it's hard to tell whether or not the instructors are actually encouraging it. Luckily, they often weren't ahahaha!
Art school is pretty damn rad, man. Pretty damn rad.
