AND SO MUCH MORE!

I have been having a blast in residence and all the activities but of course, I am here for school as well! =p
I have had Histroy of Interior design, English, Design 1 and Art history. So far so good! Lots of assignments/essays though and I haven't even had all my classes yet! I am very intrigued by all of it though...definitely in the right program=] haha

For History of Interiors we had a quick introduction where we looked at different chairs throughout the centuries!

The Ara Stool - Philip Stark

Bauhaus Director's office chair - Walter Gropius

Caquetoire Chair "Gossip Chair"

Plywood chair 'Potato chip' - Charles & Ray Aemes

cross check - Gehry Collection

Fauteuil Chair (Rococo style) - Nicolas Heurtaut

Hat trick - Gehry collection

High stick - Gehry Collection

The Lily Chair (Japanese inspired) - Masanasi Umeda

King Tut's Throne!

BEST THINGS EVER!! SOO COOL!
Malitte Lounge - Roberto Matta (1960s)

After spring - Ron Erad

Tree Trunk Bench - Jurgen Bey

It was neat to see how religion,economics, and the culture affects the design of furniture!

I am a bit nervous for English. I use to love it and do so well but in Grade 12 I struggled with the essay assignments! Hopefully its because I had a tough teacher but I found out that you cant have more than 3 mistakes per page or else you cant get higher than a D on your paper =[. AH! Scary =P My Prof is pretty cool....very dry sense of humor haha

Design 1 was fun. We had a workship on reverse-design process. We analyzed a piece of furniture starting from the production process all the way to the inspiration process! We present that on Friday to everyone. Also, for one of the assignments we have to keep an art journal where u sketch, write, etc. ! I am excited for that =]

Art history will be amazing!! Going to Italy definitely sparked an interest in it which is good because without it I probably would have dreaded this class! I may even declare a minor in art history...we shall see!

All in all my experience here has been soo great (too great! I have forgotten to talk to my family this whole entire time haha).
