It will give you a good grounding in basics and help your creative side take over. http://www.drawright.com/Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-1156765256184094162006-08-28T09:10:00.000-02:302006-08-28T09:10:00.000-02:30That class (and high school) took place a decade a...That class (and high school) took place a decade ago, so I don't remember what other boxes there were.<BR/><BR/>I didn't take any artsy subjects in university, mainly because I was a business major (which shocked a lot of people who knew me). I've always wanted to take another art class, but I never could find a good one in Bangkok -- there was one that I wanted to take but the teacher turned out to be an elitist arse, to put it bluntly, so I decided against it. I'm unable to take one here in Spain due to ... well, some shaky language barriers. <BR/><BR/>Are there any art books you'd recommend? I've found myself starting to sketch, draw, and color again, but I think having books around as inspiration would be good for me too.MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251865689933164859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-1156765013007207632006-08-28T09:06:00.000-02:302006-08-28T09:06:00.000-02:30I took Art in high school instead of Architectural...I took Art in high school instead of Architectural Drafting for my required artistic credit. I loved the class, loved the teacher, loved everything about it. The deadlines kept me from procrastinating, and it was a wonderful feeling to know that I had something to show the class each week -- whether a sketch, a painting, or other object.<BR/><BR/>One time we had to make a box -- any kind of box, for any kind of product. It was pretty amazing what everyone came up with. One person made a beetle-shaped box for (what else?) a Beetles casette. Another made an adorable cow-shaped milk box, with the cow's mouth being where the milk would be poured out. I decided to make a pyramid box (it closed with ribons) that would house a "mysterious Egyptian perfume meticulously created from ancient recipes." :)MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251865689933164859noreply@blogger.com
