Six days in Barcelona, many bottles of wine, and to many baguettes later and i am so excited about the four months to come. We got here last friday, the 11th, and found our apartment which i will have pictures posted soon of it. It is awesome, very modern looking with all white walls and black furniture and stone everywhere. And we are right on a main plaza, so we are right next to studio, shops, pretty much most things we could possibly use. So that is pretty awesome. The buildings everywhere and people are awesome, and just the few days of looking around and what not have been amazing.
We have been way to interested in walking around the city to sit in the apartment and rest, so a lot of our free time has been spent walking to various places and seeing the city, especially the small back streets which are so cute! We went down to the beach on sunday and got to see the mediterranean, and all the cool looking resteraunts and buildings that are all around. There is a sculpture at the ocean that is really famous, and we were really excited to see that and we got lots of pictures of it. But our apartment is also really cool, so we do like to spend time in it. It is in a great part of the city and has some great views out of our windows.
This week has been spent walking around to find shops where we can find out architectural supplies and start classes. Monday we met all of our professors, and were given the rules and scheduled for the class. Tuesday, yesterday, we went to our drawing class, and were dropped off at a metro station and told to walk with a partner for an hour each and folow our senses and note where it took us in the city. That was really cool because we ended up on alot of back streets and going by lit areas, and what not. We have to turn that into a collage and pencil drawing that denotes our choices and experience. It should be a cool project, we just have to get started on it now. The hardest part of doing work is that we are ina cool new city and it feels like a vacation. But it should get better. Then today we went out in studio and got to paint paths that we took between two plazas. Me painting....kinda funny but it was a really cool activity and i am starting to loosen up a bit more about the whole trying new artistic things. Here are some of the things that we saw:
Well thats it for now, i will post again soon! Look at pictures as they come!
