...Of The End

Classes started this week and i'm really liking what i've got this semester (of course i said that last semester and look what happened).

My classes are:

LA 255: College Math;

This class is basically like an algebra/geometry class. I took my first quiz and the hardest question was "what is the prime factorization of 400" (which of course is 2*2*2*2*5*5). I'm taking it because its a prereq for the math class that i want to take "Topics if Contemporary Mathmatics, which does all the kind of math i really like, the kind that stimulates your higher level thinking...the kind you can't get through with a calculator.

FND 112: Figure Drawing;

The next step in my art class; where the last one was focused on detail 'after the fact' (value and such), this class focuses on detail of the subject (proportions and acurate rendering). Our first assignments are different kidns of gestures, so those should be on here soon.

FND 116: Perspective;

This class has already proven to be fun, mostly because our subject matter can be our own choosing, so you don't have to sit there and stare at something you don't like for hours. Our first assignment is drawing something in an isometric perspective (which i'll explain when i post the assignment up here over the weekend), but i basically recreated a battle map from Final Fantasy Tactics...it's awesome.

And ANM 109: Non-Linear Computer Editing (with Avid);

It's basically a class that introduces you to how scenes are strung together in movies and how shots are edited to impose a certain atmosphere or theme. Our first assignment deals with Lord of the Rings footage, so i'll post some of that once it's done.



those are all of my classes. I'm expecting to have a lot of fun with my Perspective class because i'll be doing a lot of things from Final Fantasy and my game.
