I think the first thing I need to point out is that I will not be taking this personally. It is just not worth it. He did not grade siqourney with the intention of commenting on my personally, (at least I hope) and to some extent I got what I deserved. High marks for color and rendering, but not high enough to sell the "likeiness" aspect, which in turn would sell the over all idea. But a fucking C+? That is the lowest grade I have gotten in this school on any of my projects. Apparently I was painting with CORNFLAKES or BARK. I must be a complete incompetent. /sarcasm Needless to say , I left early. My 35 minute trip took about 20 minutes, I was singing loudly the entire way. To stay would have to been to give in and get mad. I would have just sat there and wrapped myself around it. It then would have spilled over into my next project, and I'm not going to stain another project with the "taint" of sigourney. But I will no longer be having any discussions about my work with John until I get an A. I just can't have something that disruptive while I'm working. He's a good guy, but it's another Fran class. Fran was my Concept Development Prof. who also was a flaming P or percieving type (MBTI). He would have you do: 1. 30 thumbnails - critique 2. 10 scetches - critique 3. 3 roughs - critique 4. 2 drafts - critique 5. to get 1 final piece which was followed by [yet another] critque. I kept trying to follow along, re-work my ideas so they would fit in. I eventually gave up hope. Everything I did sucked. The final critque came, I had to turn something in, so I threw in the piece I had worked through this process. The comments it got were neutral; it was uneventful, it was not even noteworthy. As an after thought I threw in another idea that I had. It had started in the sketches, but it literally hadn't come together until the last class period during one of the numerous critques. I had put in 6+ hours on it the night before and actually skipped work to keep working on it. I couldn't leave it alone. It wasn't even wholy completed by the time class rolled around. Fran wouldn't critque it. He just kept commenting on the rest of the pieces moving right along and recording grades. Eventually at the end of class I went up to apologise for not going through the process and see if he would give me some kind of feedback. What I got was: I have nothing I can add. It's perfect. When pressed: I'd turn the front figure 3/4's view instead of head on. (Which was my original design that I changed at the last minute.) Fran then asked if he could have it to showcase, which he did for the next 2 quarters. I liked Fran. I like John. I generally like percieving types. I work differently. I think that is the bottom line. Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top
