also one last uni post. maybe a little gripe. finally taking 2nd cour digital art after 3 semesters and instead of being Adobe Illustrator™ class with a sprinkle of photoshop (actually i will give her one point. for one illustrator project she did have us use audacity for a portion and taught us how to corrupt wav files into still imgs) it is now Adobe CC™ class with zero illustrator, more photoshop, and an app-exclusive drawing program only available thru CC (she has lost the one point indefinitely.) the only silver lining is premiere pro is the other software being taught which i would love to learn to do more with. on the other hand. the student examples she skimmed thru to show off the PP project were not inspiring and i feel like if i have to incorporate video aspects into my art it is quickly going to become more abt checking off rubric boxes to get a decent grade instead of doing smth i want

#ctag #SIGHHHH long post it will not be the last abt da this year #last time i was in da1 i did not finish a single project #they were completed in a sense that they looked good n got me an a+ in the course #but 100% def not as far as i wanted to go w any of them #and that made me hate it all at the end of the semester #but this is my one art class and i have one other class w lab and another 1 credit hr #so i am hoping that i can devote more time and make work i am proud of #and that it won't be jus 'doing this for class' constantly #waiting for first project info before making any hard decisions but if research #is required as an aspect and all the works thru the semester have to theme then #i rly want to try and make it a scenery yr bc when i did that for printmaking i did copious amnts of research+concepts #bc i took a sinnoh location each time n found the hokkaido basis and local flora etc to recreate #an illustration reminiscent of what the pkmn location would look like in the real world #and i could totally get away w that again plus it would be so much fun #anyway i have things to do but tldr is da class is once again adobe-centric which i hate and loathe #what if i went off the rails and taught myself pixel art and say i did it in photoshop #would she buy it like. does ps have those capabilities #it is not a graphics designers job to be proficient in adobe cc #i rly wish she would understand that bc this is the only class in the program that pushes adobe and nothing else #what applicable skills am i going to take from this class if i never use an adobe product again?#digital art has the potential to be so generic and yet here she is. ruining it.#(also LMAOOO i jus remembered she had a clause in the syllabus abt not using other #third-party software that wasn't adobe for any class work like WHAT #specifically she said 'hey we're learning pp and not final cut or sony vegas so don't use those ever'#which like is REALLY hammering the skills-not-applicable-to-non-adobe-products nail #also wtf i would love to learn sony vegas. i already decently know premiere teach me something else #100% i will be using a non-adobe program to work on a project jus to spite her)
