La Conception De La Vie

These past two weeks have gone by in a blur and I know I was so looking forward to this week off, that I forgot to post! The drafting portion of class is slowly transitioning to free hand sketching. Slightly scary and slightly exciting. No more stressing over cones of vision or if my vanishing points are in the right spot. I am enjoying my downtime, but some sick part of me wants to redo my last two assignments for a better grade. What? Overachiever or just crazy? Depends on the day I guess – and only a few more left in this so called “spring break.” Will the rain ever stop?

On another note, the world of Interior Design lost one of it’s greatest icons recently, Albert Hadley. Best known for his work with design partner Sister Parish, Hadley was an institution in the industry. I wrote about Hadley for my application to my master’s program and the influence his work has had on me and many other designers. He will be missed, but his designs will forever live on.

Looks like I’m on a small down slope of the roller coaster that is school. Things are going well, this week. Midterms are coming up and despite my exhaustion, I am envisioning I will get through it all. I’m looking forward to being done with drawing the same room for the past four weeks. Next up, circles!  The bright side is: midterm = half way = almost done with the semester!! Now, off to power nap before I start my essay about sustainable living. By the way, can someone please tell me why my instructor keeps calling me Lindsay??

Sketching and Drafting for Perspective: Crying on the inside. Smiling on the outside.
