Hi there internet world. I desided to blog about my time at Gnomon school so that future students and professionals can take this information and decide if this is something they would want to pursue. I looked for blogs about Gnomon when I was trying to decide if I wanted to go to the school and found only one that had any bit of contents and found it HIGHLY usfull in making my choice.
My goal is to come up with a non biased blog that tells you my personal feelings about the life at gnomon / students / teachers / student services. So lets get into it!
Here is my class schedule for my first week at Gnomon:
Perspective on Frieday taught by RPastrana
Figure Drawing on Wedday taught by Van Arno
VisualCommunication1 on Monday taught by MHannah
Art History 1 on Monday taught by JGotts
Overview VFX Games on Thursday taught by TBoubeau
Photoshop DigitalPrd on Sunday taught by MColborn
DP/EDDP Studio Lab on Saturday
DP/EDDP Studio Lab on Sunday
Now I cant post all the information about the school because some of its protected by law and cant be released to the public but after doing this for a week I got to say I am impressed and enjoy it. All my instructors either currently work in the Entertainment Industry or they did for 10-20 years of there life and are just picking up contract work at this time.
Now there are classes I do hate, Visual Communication 1, but its not because of the instructor Mark Hannah is a AMAZING artist to say the least! But what I do hate is redundent tasks like Draw 15 boxes in 1,2,3 point perspective this assignment almost took me 15+ hours to do because I did 25 box per page and you had to start with rulers go to mix ruler and free hand then do all free hand and you had to do them GOOD.
Let me say this Gnomon is not a PUSH OVER SCHOOL this is not what Gnomon is and ever will be. Your here to learn and your here to work your ass off. You are spending a lot of money (1 year track right now for me is $16,500 out of pocket!) but it is well worth it so fare.
I will post some of my class work on here and answer any questions you post and please post them on the blog so other people can see them /read them / learn from them if not shoot me a email and tell me if its ok to post it on the site or not. I think we all should learn from other peoples experience. Now I need to go rush off to my Art History class so chow internet world!
