First Day of Class

Monday was my first day in my Concept Development class at Cal State LA.  Upon walking in the professor, Jimmy, had each student write down on a card what we thought we were going to do in the class as well as what we thought we were going to learn from taking the course.  Jimmy then read allowed each of our responses and to no surprise to me my answers were totally off base.  Hey, it was my first class that morning and I was still half asleep.  Oddly enough we later had a discussion about Red Bull's advertising versus Monster energy drinks advertising campaigns.  It was pretty obvious I needed to consume one of them that morning!

Later in the class Jimmy passed around apples to each of the students.  At first I thought to myself "Hey, is this some reversal of roles sort of joke?  Aren't I supposed to be giving the teacher an apple?"  My second thought was "I guess I lucked out since I didn't pack a lunch!"  He then told us the apples were not to be eaten.  Darn!  We then had to describe our individual apple to our neighboring fellow students as if they had never seen an apple before.  Who knew something as simple as an apple could be so complex in description!  Anyways, as an ongoing project throughout the next ten weeks I have to draw a total of 50 different renderings of my apple using different mediums.  I will post some of these renderings as the course progresses.
