I am sitting in the cafeteria at DeAnza and thought I would make an entry. My first class was this morning and it was my photoshop class which I was really excited about. My instructor is great and I had spoken with her before about where I should go with my photo classes.
My business class is at 12:30 and I look forward to taking a class that isn't creatively taxing. I need to learn the basics so if I get anything going creatively speaking I'll have some small business info. to work with.
The direction I see this going is portraits by individual commissions. I see the idea of what I did on the "Wood Sprites Home Forest" turning in to making similar things for people. For example a fiftieth wedding anniversary is a special mile stone. I want people to come to me after seeing my examples and request a custom piece for themselves or as a gift. I meet with them like a tattoo artist does, collect items that influence their piece and make the portrait. For instance a mother is very proud of her sons football career in college. So we take his jersey and photos she may have, include photos I could also take of them and add then construct a work of art that tells his story.
My class schedule for Winter '08
Photoshop, Mon/Wed 8am-10am
Intro to Bus., Mon/Wed 12:30-2:30
So if you ask me I will persecute you for not reading this...... LOL, as if.
