CERAMICS!

Hey guys, so its been a while since my last post, and I think it is time for an update! My ceramic wheel-throwing class is quite interesting, and my professor is very patient (especially with me)! The first couple weeks I learned the techniques of dry-throwing with all the different tools. This past week was all about wet-throwing, and it has definitely been a challenge! We had to make 20 cylinders, and it did not matter if they broke apart, he just wanted to see that we tried. So far, I am better at dry-throwing, but the semester is young! I cant wait to make some nice pieces and excel at wheel-throwing. I'll keep you guys updated on my latest adventures in VPA because the exploring never ends! Take care!

Ad Design and Sophomore year

Hello all! welcome to the inside scoop on all things VPA, here at Syracuse University! My name is Jaspreet Bains and I just started the lovely major of Advertising Design. It is difficult to say how my year will go, but the classes are intense and the professors are eager to teach us innovative design techniques! As far as projects go, we are starting off with the basics: composition, of shapes on a page, positive and negative space (in relation with words). Typeography is another hugeeee factor of advertising design. I am learning about all of the different fonts, believe me there are manyyyyy, and how certain fonts draw your attention more than others. So that is what is in store for me sophomore year! Yay! I am also taking an introduction to ceramics wheelthrowing class, which in my opinion, is the best stress-reliever! I love learning about all the techniques on the wheel and hopefully I will be great at it by the end of the semester! I hope you all are enjoing the insight from us VPA students, and I will let you know how I plan to conquer the art of wheelthrowing more in my next blog! Take care until next time!
