Working with color:
-At first I was confused on how to approach it, and what people meant when they said a color was "strong". I was used to picking out colors when I was working digitally (because all the colors are layed out for you on a palette)
-After asking people, and experimenting with the basic colors (and their complements) I now know that when a color is "strong", it pushes colors towards its color range when mixed (and you don't need to mix much to accomplish this pushing)
-I found it easier to try and reach a grey when mixing colors. When I had a specific color in mind, there were less options and it was easier to work with the colors.
-My watercolors tend to be on the watery side...I find it hard to get it dry....

Misc:
-Its in teresting how movies, TV, electron ics can draw your atten tion and suck you in. (I have to pay closer attent ion to exactly how they do this)
-I've been watching Sherlock Holmes (multiple versions), and it's funny how certain things remain the same...for example, 221B. Baker St. looks almost the same in the PBS version, the Downey Jr. version, the BBC version (even though its modern), and even the Russian version!

Which reminds me, when we saw the monologues/dialogues being preformed on Friday, I found myself thinking that it had to be eye-opening to see your very own work being preformed by others. (additionally, I was wondering why most of the scenes were on depressing subjects/had a sad or strained feel to them....)

The photography section was neat to see, but I wish they, and all of the groups, went a little more in-depth on the sorts of techniques they covered during their "boot camps". The photography session mentioned about the "hearts under the nose" and "hatchet shadowing", but for acting and writing, not a lot was said about what they worked on. (I noticed the actors had something with writing scripts(?), but what was that for?)
