I've got one of three large-scale charcoal drawings done. The other ones are close, just need some more shading & linework and things like that.
I can't believe final submisson is like a week and a half away.

Your body of work sounds amazing.

Dunno about the weight thing. Do you reckon they could even be bothered to weigh it?

Ugh well mine is sort of nearly finished. It's a massive painting. Just need to stretch it and add some final details. My teacher keeps telling me it's hours from being finished which makes me so depressed.
Plus it's HUGE. Which is sort of embarrassing because I'm not an art genius and I'd say it's pretty good... But to a trained eye it's probably crap. I don't even really have a concept. I just wanted to draw the lay-dees. And now it's a painting.. Oh where did I go wrong?

So yeah I'd say it's almost finished, I spent so much time on it, but I hate it... So it will probably be stashed in the garage. At least it LOOKS like I did lots of things on it.

Finished my 2nd painting today... it would be the third painting, except she doesn't want me to hand in the very first one.

So I have two paintings done not including the initial one which sucks. And I kind of want to start a third one and see if I can get it done in time...

I got mine back from the printers yesty. Frigging huge, I shouldn't have done it on myself lols. Now I need to cut out the irregular edge and mount it on the specially made pinboardy thing I've constructed. Ours are due on the 7th. I have no idea how to keep it safe once its at school either because we only have two art classrooms and no storerooms big enough.

have to tie up those feral year 8 kids XD

OHMYGOLLY!
My majors due on Monday & I've finished taking the pics but I feel so under prepared. Like those who are doing paintings & scultpures& films, I feel like mine has so little effort --;
Anyway- Anyone else doing photographs- how are you going to present it?
Please help :(

i have people in my class arranging their photos into a book, but don't be overly concerned about 'how little effort' people may perceive you've put in to your work. sometimes it's better to just keep it simple - and if you've put any sort of effort into constructing your shots then you shouldn't be concerned at all.

there are great photographers out there, like annie leibovitz for example - who let the beauty of the shot do the talking, not the gimmicky arrangements that you may perceive as 'effort'.
