UCF Art videos (Is that?....ME?!)

This semester I am starting true Junior-level classwork at UCF. No more prerequisites and lower-level classwork. The workload, competition, and expectations are increased (to say the least). So to get a taste of where I should be headed, I searched YouTube for any videos posted by graduating seniors. Sure enough, there are a few from the Bachelor of Fine Arts gallery show for graduating seniors posted by UCF TV.

I also found some 30-minute UCF Art episodes called "The Gallery", which I never knew existed. They feature different members of the faculty discussing their approach to instructing. Low and behold, my drawing teacher (Drawing 1 & 2, he is a great drawing teacher) is on there...and I see some familiar settings...then I see some boob with a beard drawing! The boob is me. I never really thought twice about the video camera that was in my Drawing 1 class in Fall 2006.

10:00 - Professor Haran section starts
12:35 - Me drawing
12:50 - Me drawing in the background
14:27 - Professor Haran standing in front of my drawing, talking about someone else's drawing
14:45 - my ear
15:05 - my back

"Big deal, Wes. You are on YouTube for a few seconds in a video that has been watched less than 100 times!" I know, I know. But we all like to see ourselves, don't we? And besides, this is my blog, featuring ME.








I thought I would post this one, too. Robert Reedy is the first professor featured, and he is one of the best I ever had. I had him this past summer for 3-D Design, and Claire was born in the middle of the semester. He was very cool about the unusual situation of a UCF student having a baby. But that is not why he is one of the best professor's I have ever had. Maybe this segment will help illustrate why he is so good. He has a very strong personality.

Also, Carla Poindexter is later in the clip. I have her this semester for Intermediate Painting. (Seeing how she handles her Beginning Painting classes makes me truly jealous. I didn't get that much instruction last semester.)






**I added the drawing I did in the clip to my art folder.
