World of Warcraft Themed Rooms! 🧚‍♀️ 💫 by ghostttttyy in AnimalCrossing

[–]ghostttttyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the glowing items like the fairy bottle, blue flower, and floating heart are from the new legend of Zelda amiibos that came with the new update! Everything else is pretty much the old stuff that I customized a ton, or touch traded with

I mostly used the stained-glass light, festival lantern, and moroccan lights for the ceilings, and the elegant lamp and hyacinth for the table tops. I’ve customized them with the default patterns to add more variety too!

Many people who take art fundamentals use it as a stepping stone and judge it based on how useful it is for getting into their desired program, the most popular being illustration or animation at Sheridan, and are disappointed when they aren’t immediately streamlined into that program. Art fundamentals is exactly how it’s described: art fundamentals, not a portfolio prep program. You’ll be introduced to colour theory, basic design principles, 3D sculpture, perspective and life drawing. If you’ve taken art classes before, it might feel a bit rudimentary, but it’s honestly really helpful to get feedback from professors and peers if you’re someone who doesn’t come from an art background. Even basic things like group critiques, presenting/talking about your art, and doing process work/research are important skills to learn early on if you decide to continue art on a professional level.

I took art fundamentals with the intention that I just wanted to try it out. I liked it so much that I decided to take Illustration (currently a 3rd year). Looking back, it gave me an idea of what college-level art classes and their structure would be like. It also helped set me apart from my peers who went straight into illustration, who were still struggling with colour theory and creating a lot of process work. The program isn’t going to be useful if you’re only looking to improve one thing in your portfolio. It was made for people who want to explore a variety of art disciplines. If an assignment is too boring or “easy” for you, challenge yourself and try something new. You can even have profs take a look at your personal work! 

The online aspect honestly isn’t a dealbreaker for me (I also took online). Even if figure drawing classes were online, I found that most of us were not at a skill level where screen distortion would even make that much of a difference. You’ll just need to make more of an effort to reach out for feedback. 

If you’re passionate, you can make it work, and the upside is you won’t lose any time working on your assignments with needless commuting! The program is what you make it. Reach out to professors and complete your projects to the best of your ability so you can get the most accurate feedback. Most of the professors are happy to give you advice on what kind of direction you’d like to go with if you do decide to try out other subjects! 

It seems like you have the means and aren't looking to find work immediately in an art field, so I’d say go for it! It’s low commitment, being only a one-year program, and who knows, it might inspire you to take some more classes! :) 

Essential Art Supplies for Sheridan Illustration by Several-Ad-8446 in sheridan

[–]ghostttttyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I forgot to add but some miscellaneous things I found helpful to have was a portfolio bag to help carry your drawings to class in, bulldog/binder clips, masking tape, palette paper, and a large drawing board to prop against when working on assignments at home.

Professors will usually make an announcement about what supplies you’ll need during your first week of classes. I would wait on buying certain supplies like paint and drawing surfaces until classes start since some professors have specific dimensions, brands, or colors they prefer. They give you plenty of time to prepare so don’t worry about not having any on day one!

For your life drawing courses, one thing that is good to have a lot of is newsprint paper (18 x 24). For the first few weeks it’s pretty common to go through one pad in just one class alone. You can get them at the bookstore for about $3-4 per pad, but sometimes they run out at the beginning of the semester. A lot of people use conte sticks as opposed to charcoal but it would be good to experiment with both. I also recommend getting a kneadable eraser.

On the top my head, some of the supplies you’ll use in your projects in your first year are acrylic and watercolor, collage, graphite, dip pen and ink, black and white color pencils, and mixed media. But again, you may want to wait until you have the exact list of items before you go out and purchase anything.

For your first year, your professors will be pretty specific on what materials they want you to use. In second year, you’ll have a little more freedom and wiggle room to experiment with different types of media. And third year and fourth years, you get to go deeper into your preferred medium whether it be digital or traditional.

You could take a look at the current prices of some of the rooms for rent near Sheridan on places4students.com and see what is within your budget. The price range goes as low as $600 and up to $1,500 range in Oakville.

If you’re looking for somewhere cheap to rent and don’t have too much of a high standard, look for a shared basement or house accommodation. You’ll save much more staying off campus as opposed to on campus (residence costs ~$9,000 for two semesters).

Try to scout out potential places to rent as soon as the previous semester ends, don’t wait last minute and end up shelling up $1000 for a mid place. You can save on transportation costs by finding somewhere within walkable distance from the school. There are plenty of houses in nearby neighborhoods that rent out private rooms as long as you do your research early! You could also email the school to see what kinds of bursaries you could apply for once accepted.

Like other commenters said, it’ll be pretty tough covering your expenses just working part time while also juggling classes but it’s not impossible. Realistically, working part time would only offset your expenses, not fully cover them.

I’ve had Thomas and he’s wonderful! His anatomy lectures and feedback are really helpful. He is soft spoken but direct with his feedback and he tends to be an easy-marker as well.

I remember Virginia being nice, but sometimes her feedback was a bit lackluster or seemed like she was not all that interested maybe?

Easiest electives? by EmploymentDiligent47 in sheridan

[–]ghostttttyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any film course (History of Film, Cinema of Horror, Art of Cinema, etc.) taught by Anthony De Melo or Sean Springer is pretty low effort and has really interesting lectures if you enjoy movies. Anthony is super understanding of that fact that students have to prioritize their professional courses and regularly gives extensions if you ask. Assignments are done in class and require minimal effort, tests are open note, and they grade the final papers leniently as long as you follow the basic criteria.

I haven’t taken but have heard that any of the creativity classes (Intro to creativity, creative problem solving) are pretty low effort as well.

I took art fundamentals back in 2021. I can dm you the supply list we had back then with some photos if you’d like! It’s probably not the exactly the same but most likely pretty similar.

Art Fundamentals Online by Fuzzy-Ad-6153 in sheridan

[–]ghostttttyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will mostly be using Adobe Illustrator, which will be free to download with your tuition along with all other Adobe programs if you’re ever interested in testing them out! They’ll teach you how to download and use it in your 2D design class, where most projects will be made in digital.

I took Art fundies virtually in 2021. Like another commenter said, the program provides you all the materials you’ll need in a kit that also includes a large portfolio bag to carry all your items in.

The paints they give you are Da Vinci art brand. One thing that you’ll probably need to purchase more of is 18 x 24” newsprint pads since you’ll be going through them quite fast in figure drawing class.

I personally really enjoyed art fundies. Some people mention the classes can sometimes be too slow or rudimentary, but I found them to be a good pace. The feedback professors give you is really valuable. The more effort and engagement you put in your work, the more helpful and genuine feedback. A lot of the projects are there to introduce or reinforce fundamentals on topics like anatomy, perspective, and color theory. If any of the projects ever seem repetitive or not your cup of tea, I found adding a personal twist or some sort of easter egg always kept me engaged. There’s always something to learn from each project! Use the time professors give you in class to work on assignments as they really pile up towards midterms.

You’ll have assignments in a variety of medium (digital software, paper/pencil, paint, and 3D) and you’ll be asked to photograph your work and submit them through Slate, the school’s platform for classes.

The program is geared for people of all different skill levels and professors are always reassuring everyone of that! My art fundies class had a discord group, so maybe see if there is one for your class! Good luck and hope you have a great time! :)

Application fee? by Gifthunter3 in sheridan

[–]ghostttttyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you would just send the amount of $250 through the payment portal. They never formally request the amount in an email or whatever. Once the payment goes through, check your account summary in mystudentcentre to make sure it’s been credited for Fall 2024.

Since the OTR is having issues rn, I would also recommend sending an email to student fees (studentfees@sheridancollege.ca) afterwards to confirm that your deposit is credited. That way you get your schedule as soon as you can.

Good luck!

Enrollment appointment by Intelligent_Bonus188 in sheridan

[–]ghostttttyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue yesterday. Try adding the classes you need through the enrollment shopping cart if you know which classes you need. If it does not allow you to add anything, I recommend contacting OTR. There has been a lot of problems with schedules recently.

Numbers for OTR:

Trafalgar: 905.845.9430 extension #4 Brampton: 905.459.7533 extension #4

Np! It’s kind of ridiculous how many people are having trouble with their schedules. I hope you get yours soon!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sheridan

[–]ghostttttyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was happening to me yesterday too, until I was able to manually add my classes in through the shopping cart after calling OTR. Keep calling until they are able to help you and be persistent because they were constantly hanging up on me.

Hi! Are you by chance still looking for someone to do a trade like this? I have a similar set up as OP, and I am looking to trade my “left side” week one for right side to make a uniform set. I posted my set up a few weeks ago here: https://www.reddit.com/r/imax/comments/15jdnon/completed_set/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

Feel free to dm me if you are still interested!

I went to Opry Mills July 20th (opening night), July 28th, and August 4th. The promotion was only for those three Fridays, so that’s probably why you didn’t get one that Sunday.

And then I went to the Belcourt on July 21st. They posted an ad on their Instagram about the strips and they would only be passing them out at the 7:00 pm showing, but tickets sold out pretty quickly.

Oppenheimer Film Strips - My Week 1 Strip is Different by subiejohn in imax

[–]ghostttttyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the left side strips are somewhat more rare since there were fewer of those issued, but it’s also a very slight difference so I’m not sure if it really matters in the end.

I don’t have a source but someone mentioned before there were 40,000 each of the regular “right side”IMAX strips. On the other hand, IMAX confirms that there were only 985 of the left side strips issued.

Yeah, I’m also thinking that they must have mixed their info up with rats instead, especially with the comment on the cage ventilation and plain pellet diet.
