And so it begins...

Well, here we go, my first blog ever...

I have no idea how to start this so I'm gonna start with the basics:
My name is Sarah Lee Robinson and I'm 19 years old. I love art, and everything about it, except most modern art, for example in the Tate modern there is a glass of water on a shelf, titled "a tree"... seriously.
I love realism in art, my favorite artists are pretty much all of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood and others like Leonardo Da Vinchi... etc...

I loved art at school and carried on doing it for my GCSEs and my Alevels. But i didn't know where to go with it, i just assumed because i love realistic art pieces that i wanted to go into fine art, i went to De Monfort University to do a foundation in art and design, by the end of the course i was confused... I thought i wanted to end up being a fine artist and do my degree in fine art, but it wasn't what i expected fine art to be. here i was doing detailed portraits, while my teachers were encouraging students to paint with their elbows and other body part (except hands of course) and pour custard on pretty much everything we made, to make it "interesting".
When it came to having interviews and applying for our degree, I picked my safe bet with fine art, and my not so safe, more like a dream bet of Game art design.
I say dream and not so safe because I was told the game art course was near impossible to get on, so many people saying hardly anyone gets accepted. But to me it seemed like the perfect course, realism, imagination, fantasy everything i wanted. I loved playing games and the only reason I bought games was because I liked the art, and then fell in love with the story and characters.
Then it came to which course I wanted, which pathway I'd go on. It seems cliche but I was, right then and there choosing my future. Would i go for my safe fine art or the impossible fantasy. So I did it, I chose game art, and I got accepted, but I'm sure you guessed that, otherwise i wouldn't be writing this blog. But I was so happy and excited!

The first day of the course was nerve wrecking to say the least, but it all became clearer and more relaxed when we met everyone and the teachers told us what we would be doing.
My first lesson was game production, which was so confusing. I'm sure most of my fellow students will agree that 3Ds Max is our new nemesis. but I'm sure in time I'll get it. It is becoming clearer and easier the more I use it. But I'm still finding random buttons that I don't know what they do. We had to make a church and I somehow gave mine hair...

I'm loving everything about the course, the lessons, teachers, the other students, everything. I find myself hanging on every word in the lectures, smiling at things that I'm being told. I feel I'm going the right way with this course. And now I only use custard for eating!

I tend to get bored of things easily, so I don't know how well this blog will go, but I'll try my best to update you guys every so often, also, I know I go on a bit too much, mostly about pointless stuff so sorry about that.

Thank you for reading this, and for getting this far through it, Talk to you all shortly!
