Summer Term Starts Tomorrow!

It's here!

Tomorrow I switch curriculum and start doing new classes. My Summer Term (2017) will go for the next two and a half to three months; the months of July, August and September. I may use mid September to October as a bit of a transition period into the next classes of the Fall Term and start exploring the new classes I will be moving into at that time. We'll see. For the meantime, these are the new things I'll be working on each week for this term.

SUMMER TERM 2017 – July/August/September

Story Writing and Design

Adding this as a class so that I make sure to do some dedicated work on my personal project on the writing side of things.

Creature Invention - Anatomy and Essentials of Realism (Schoolism classes)

Invent and refine designs of creatures I've started for my story, applying the information in these Schoolism courses I did.

Animation

My Spring Term didn't have as many classes as you see here, but I plan on doing as much as I can each week with maintaining a balanced practice of the four disciplines (landscape, portrait, figure and still life.) Many of these classes can be linked together, such as the three figure classes, the head ones too. As long as I get something in for each discipline and am consistently learning and applying what I'm learning, I'll be good.
