I was actually really happy with the response that everyone had from their projects and the response that I received from mine as well. I don't know if it was because everyone wanted the day to end or because everyone was just really tired from all of the work that they had to do last week, everyone just seemed so much calmer and nicer. I, honestly, am not one of those people that take harsh critiques well, so I was glad that some people at least found my project interesting (especially with Yi Ok and all of the textures!).
As for what I'm going to do with the result of the project, I'm still not sure. My project obviously was not made out of various portraits, or some crazy abstract design (which I think after this project I would have much preferred to do), but either way, I was still happy with both the process and how the overall piece looked. However, after a year of going to SVA, I just do not think that I am fit for art school. I didn't agree with what Cory said about how SVA seems to give too much freedom to the students. I thought though that SVA would have been even more laid back, and I was really disappointed with the fact that we could only focus on drawing people. There is just so much more to this world, and sometimes I wish that I just stayed with taking biology classes... Either way, I think everyone in the class has grown tremendously- not just in their personal artistic style but also with figuring out who they are as people. I remember on our winter break, it seemed like many of us missed each other since we were almost like a family. Since I will not be attending this school next year, I was somewhat sad at the end since I knew that many of these people I would never see again. I could annoy some people on Facebook, and maybe I could lure some people out of their homes during the summer to try to hang out with me, but I know that it won't be the same. I just feel so sad!
So, anyway, here are the pictures to the project as a whole:

(Back Cover)If I had the time, I would have put these in Photoshop to take off the tile floors, but I'm just so tired! Plus I can't stare at this screen anymore. I'm also wondering how many people are going to still update their blogs. I kinda like my blog, but I think it would be pointless to update this when no one else would read it anymore!
So, after all of this, I hope everyone has a nice summer! If I never see anyone in the class ever again, I hope that everyone has the ability to achieve their dreams, whatever they may be. I will miss all of you!

I'll read your blog ole mate! I plan on updating mine so you can bug me all summer!! Ha ha! I hope I do see you again Jess. I think you're such an amazing and unique person and I'm glad I met you and everyone in our class really. We're all so talented and gifted in our own way. It's a bummer SVA didn't work out for you, not so much really for me either but I want to stick it out and see if any good can come of it. It's great and really inspiring actually that you would take the initiative to try it out. Maybe it is for you, just not SVA. Speaking of which there are lots of other "maturity" art schools that I think would interest you, if you want more freedom and decide to ever go back. School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, San Francisco Art Institute, and Art Institute of Chicago (my hometown!) are great schools that you should consider. Look them up! In the meantime keep making art Jess, I think you art is really wonderful and you have so many ideas and things to say, and that need to be said.I loved your dollhouse book, obviously because it's interiors but also because of the idea behind it. Keep pushing those concepts of class and our consumer culture. They're important issues that need to be discussed. And keep trusting your instincts and you will go far. I really believe that. And keep in touch! So many times in the past I have lost contact with really great people that entered and then quickly exited my life. I am determined that doesn't happen again!! Have a great summer hun!
