35.

Early start.
Had an english speaking chat about what we were about to encounter in the day and how we were meant to make choices about which courses and what we had to do etc.

Had brief talks from the different lecturers and their talks.

We then had to vote for which courses we wanted to do which was difficult coz there was loads and they all sounded good.

I chose: Illustration, Webdesign, Storytelling and as my main proj 'Sieg über die Sonne' (something about movements in history and lots of research). All of these are more specific ie. rather than just illustration in general. We have to choose a certain amount of subjects in each category, so you have to do atleast 1 Entwurf which is the main proj and then 2 experimental courses and 2 Darstellungsmethoden which is like methods of presenting. There are some other random theory based courses as well which sounded interesting, but i didn't want to put too much on my plate.

Had such a stress trying to find courses that didn't overlap with each other, did a bit of name crossing off lists of people accepted onto that course and then we were straight in there with the first intro to the course which was Illustration. All auf deutsch! We were told that we would be going on a trip to see an exhibition in Heidelberg about 'mentally ill' and that we should bring in paper and stuff to make kewldrawingz with 4 tomoz. Also a very long german text to read.

Woke up in the morn to read the text. Was interesting but 7/10 difficult to understand. Understood something about how when we look at art from the mentally ill it is interesting as they have no 'normal' order so they have free minds and how we can learn from this.

We were supposed to make poem pictures from the text for Hausaufgaben but we didn't understand that so we just did it in class. Then from our poems we could make something visual. For the rest of the day we watched documentaries in german about all this. Can't be bothered to post more about today as i am doing it late and it was a bit of a blur of not understanding but it's a really interesting subject and i am extra excited about what we are embarking on.
