Month

Well, I made it through the first month!

The language is coming along. My grammer is aweful and my vocabular is pretty limited, but I can understand people if they talk to me really slow. So I feel like I'm improving.

Now as you all know if you have been reading my blog, I go to school in the town of Lecco. Really a beautiful place, but any way. My school focuses on art. Here in Italy high schools are seperated by what you are interested in. Most exchange students go to language schools when they are on exchange, but my wonderful host mother pulled some strings and I now attend school for art. I absoulutly love it! Now I do have to take regular classes such as math and history, but I also get about 13 hours of art classes a week. Is that not amazing?

So my mother thought it would be a great idea for me to post some of the pictures I have made from the beginning of school. I agree. But no one can make fun of them. I have two diffrent classes, but I honestly can't explain the difrense at the moment. In my first class we have been focusing on our hands. So picture on the top is not actually finished. Nor do I think it will ever be because I got board with that position and my teacher agreed. The second is my favorite only because I think it came out nicely.
In my second art class we have been working on copying a statue of a head onto paper. I finally finished today. This was really fun for me because my teacher showed me a lot of new shading technices.

Oh and I was really hungry when I drew this one with the apple...can you tell?

Thats all I have to report for right now. Thank you all for the suport you gave me this month and wish me luck in the next.
