Heroes

I am so looking forward to season three of Heroes. I love this programme and have been waiting for this new season for ages after the last one being so short.
I know that i will be keeping an eye on this website for anything to do with the series. The trailer they are showing makes it look really good (If only i could find the trailer online).
I know i'm not the only fan.
Anyway i can't wait till next week. Can you?

Merlin

Today a brand new fantasy drama started on BBC.
I think it's going to be really good. It's taken the slot of programmes like Dr Who and Robin Hood.
The following is what is writen on the BBC press office website

With the arrival of a young warlock in Camelot, a legend is born as Merlin, BBC One's epic, magical, adventure-packed drama starring Colin Morgan, Anthony Head and Richard Wilson, begins.

Merlin arrives at the gates of Camelot as a young man, sent by his mother to start a new life. Bright-eyed with wonder, Merlin steps into the square where a crowd has gathered. A man, accused by the tyrannical King Uther of using magic, is executed right before a horrified Merlin's eyes. In Camelot, the price for using magic is death. As the axe falls, an old woman, Mary Collins, swears that one day she will avenge King Uther for the death of her son, before disappearing into thin air.

A shocked Merlin makes his way across Camelot to find Gaius, the Court Physician. Taken by surprise, Gaius falls from the top of a ladder: instinctively Merlin reacts and uses his magic powers to break Gaius's fall. Instead of thanking him, Gaius turns on Merlin and warns him how important it is to keep his magic a secret or else he will face certain death.

As Merlin explores his new surroundings he sees a young man humiliating his manservant and decides to step in and stand up for the poor, ridiculed boy. This turns out to be a mistake on Merlin's part as he soon discovers the young man is the King's son, Prince Arthur. Merlin seems unable to heed Gaius's advice to stay out of trouble!

Merlin is thrown into the stocks as punishment for fighting Arthur and he meets a young maid named Gwen, who is clearly impressed by his heroic actions. Merlin, however, doesn't seem to notice her advances...

When Merlin discovers the Great Dragon he begins to understand his true destiny – he must use his abilities to protect Arthur, the future King of Albion. Merlin refuses to believe this.

Mary Collins returns to take revenge on Uther's son, Arthur, and Merlin must now take control of his destiny. Will he be able to save the young Arthur in time?

Merlin is played by Colin Morgan, King Uther by Anthony Head, Mary Collins by Eve Myles, Gaius by Richard Wilson, Arthur by Bradley James and Gwen by Angel Coulby. The Great Dragon is voiced by John Hurt.

I'm looking forward to next weeks episode

There is a website where you can catch up and see what coming up and you can read more here and here.

Our First Project

I'm really enjoying Art School and hope to do it much better this year than last. Well I don't think that anything can happen to top last year. Anyway here is the first project that we had to do as a group. I took plenty of photos of us working on it and the finish piece.






So what do you think?

At the moment we are doing drawing using Architectural structures as our subject matter on A1 sheets in black and white.
I hate drawing but we have to do it.
Next week get a brief and i know that one is to with colour so it's more my thing.

Well i'll post more soon

Right then

I'm sat here in the refectory typing this and it's great to be hooked up to the uni wireless. I'm not using it all the time but it has it's uses. I don't have long before i have to go back up into the studio and carry on the drawing that we have to do this week.
Last weeks group piece is now finished and i upload photos later.
Best get back to it

My first day at Art School

Yesterday was my first day and it was good. The group seems really nice so I think that it's going to be a good year.
We were give our first project that has to be done for next week. The good thing is that it's a group one so it helps us to get to know other people.
The project is to look at postcards and to do our own version of it. We are using two postcards and it will have a 3D effect using chicken wire and paper. I think it's going to look good. I will take some photos of it to show you what we have done.

Anyway i better get ready for college and i'll be back soon.

Some news

With everything that has happened over the last year things are finally getting back to normal. So whats the news i hear you ask well I'm back to college next week to continue my Art course. So I'm an Art Student again. I know that it's going to be hard work but i'm looking forward to it. It will be worth it if i pass (or should i say when i pass). All being well after this i will go on to do a degree in either Interior Design or 3D Design and after that i can get a ful time job in something that i enjoy.

Please wish me luck for this course as i know that i'm going to need it. It's only two and a half days a week but it's classed as a full time course. The studios that we use are available for us every day so when we have projects to do we can work on the days that we don't have to be in.

One of my favourite bits is the lectures we have on Art History. They are more than that really as they cover so many different things and give you a new outlook on Art.

So next week it's the start of lots of hard work.
I will keep you posted of all the things that we do and try and show all the finished projects and when i'm working on them.
