the Summer art!

some one asked me if i was tripping on acid while painting this and i found that to be quite funny.


This summer I had the privilege to attend MCAD's (Minneapolis College of Art and Design) Summer Expression Session (SES) II. The second session offered four different majors to take and i thought painting seemed to look the most challenging, but the most useful ( for going into AP). But when the two weeks were done, i realized that painting was still useful, but wasn't as hard as i hoped it to be. There were 3 classes that were required for everyone to take: drawing, text & Image, and one of the four major's (painting). MCAD allowed me to grow as an artist and intake different styles and techniques to use for future art work. I found the overall MCAD experience exciting, hard working with long hours, but ended up to be the best thing I did this summer.
I recommend MCAD's SES program to anyone who's willing to learn, work hard, befriend ton's of people from around the nation (mostly Midwest), earn some college credit, and have lots of fun.
