Spring Break

A much needed break has arrived just in time to restore what sanity and motivation I had at the start of the semester. I love being able to do my work and keep my creative juices flowing, but the deadlines pile up on top of each other and get very stressful. This "break" has been more school work than relaxation. I know that once I get back to school I'm really going to be glad that I finished my work. Next week might be the first week I don't cram just to barely get by. I've broken free of my old procrastinating habits, but I end up doing work last minute anyway because I'm constantly required to have an assignment completed. My 2D project was INSANE. I really shot myself in the foot by cutting my triangles so small. I quilted for six days straight. I'm proud of the finished product, seeing I have never quilted before. I'm not sure how confident I am in my self portrait at this point, but I haven't payed much attention to it.
On the subject of copyrights and web composits, I have new ideas about the TED talk. Over centuries of artwork, every piece has some inspiration. For apprentices of the renaissance, remaking work of masters was common. Although it's not the same thing as taking another person's photos, times have changed. Just like music, technology changes and advances. This will be an issue for a few years and with every case it will become more and more acceptable.
