Classe

We had to start CLASSES this week, which you would think is a bummer, but actually they've been pretty sweet.

Our teachers are amazing, Christy, Eric, CeCe and Xabi are the Bomb. I think being in Barcelona has made them let their hair down and chill. This week has pretty much been what Eric and Christy always wanted to teach to a class but were never able to in DC. Smoking Hash is legal in Spain and it's funny because I guess that the building that our studio is in is usuallt vacant so people are used to just chilling outside and smoking and they think no one can see them because the curtains let views out but not in.

In studio this week we've been working on black paper with white paint and painting figure grounds of plazas and Barcelona. I accidentally spilt paint in the plaza, but it looks like bird poop, so it's cool. Oh yeah, there are massive amounts of Parakeets here in the trees squawking, they are my new favorite birds.

For Christy's class we had to do a "Derive Exercise" where me and Mateusz had to get lost in an area of Barcelona that we didn't know and see where our senses brought us. Our senses brought us to Santa Maria Del Mar, an awesome park where we picked an orange, and La Sagrada Familia.

This blog is part of my homework, and the rest of my home work is not to shabby either, it's mostly exploring and painting.

So school is all good.
