I am officially done with classes until next Monday, when I start the summer session. (I am also at home right now. I got home later last night than usual, and I had to eat or I'd never sleep... and I didn't end up sleeping until after midnight. Job could kiss my ass.) Don't have my grade yet, hehe. Prof. Segre seemed to like my paintings though, and really like the Cezanne copy, although she asked me about the brown border I painted. The source picture I had (from the Met's website) has a brown border, so that's what I painted. The brown wasn't part of the frame, it looked like Cezanne actually framed it. Could've been a fluke, though, because I did see one online that had no border. Either way, at the end of class, she asked if I wanted to leave it with Tatsu; he wanted three paintings from our class to put into a show. So, I don't have it right now, but I'll get it back eventually. Prof. Segre said she was glad I picked Cezanne, and actually mentioned why while explaining an issue pretty much everyone in the class has: We have trouble mixing colors in our surfaces. Like, the Cezanne made me layer a bunch of colors on top of one another, and she said that's a good thing. Actually makes me happy I hid some color in the "table" in the bowl/plate holder painting.
And um. Was supposed to say something and got distracted.
OH.
Walked to the train station with Prof. Segre last night (I've seen her walk the same way I do before, but she's been on the phone and I've been walking fast). She asked me if I plan on going to an art school, and if I'll keep painting. I got the same questions from her that I got from Prof. Mayer, and she asked me, "Well, can't you work in the evenings?" She said the payoff would be better in the long run, essentially what Prof. Mayer told me. I almost brought it up to Mom last night. Like, if the state were to bring out the incentive to quit that they have twice now ($20,000 lump sum payment, can't work with the state again for five years, taxes would be taken out), would I take that money and find a part-time job to do instead? If I did end up in, SVA, and classes had to be taken in the daytime, I'd have to change jobs. State offices are open 9-5, more or less. I'd either have to work part-time with the state or find someplace else to work. Art's more important to me than money right now. I'm up to $40K thanks to the last raise (actually less since I'm on VRWS and cutting 20% of my pay), but school is more important than that. The only difficulties if I were to go to something else would be supplies and Oliver. This is not even taking into account what would happen if I went to a college with a campus. I have time to think about it, but I need to start figuring things out.
