The Art Foundation.

Mondays are SO boring. 3 whole hours of photoshop.FML.
I thought London College Of Fashion would be so different to what it is. I thought it would be full of really ''arty, edjaaaay'' people from East Landan. It's actually full of people from all over the place and they are all lovely and so down to earth.
There are 3 girls that i am good friends with, Morgan, Jess and Carys.
Morgan is from Essex and an absolute lunatic. Jess is a genuine person and a sweetie, and Carys is posh gal from Tooting Beck. There are NO MEN at LCF and the very few are all gay. I think i have seen 10 guys max at uni. It's like being at an all girls school again. So, so strange because all my friends from home are guys.

At first i hated LCF, i couldn't stand waking up in the morning, forcing myself out of bed and into the dreaded uni. Mondays-photoshop, Tuesdays- all day drawing shit like fabric and manekins and then drawing naked people (even though the male life model is quite attractive) I was counting down the days till the foundation course was over. You are forced to work independently with no help at all and everything they tell you is so vague.
Now i feel so different, we had to do different pathways to see which one we wanted to specialise in. We tried FDT: womenswear, menswear, 3D: jewellery design, shoe design, handbag design, costume, Textiles: playing around with fabrics, sewing and wax and Fashion Image: fine art, illustration, fashion photography, fashion illustration, mixed media. I chose fashion image so i could do illustration but theres a catch- we have to compete with each other because not everyone will get the pathway (only 50 out of 100 people get it!!) Even though LCF is pretentious,I love doing fashion image and drawing and using mixed media. I am starting to actually get excited about the project.
scary times.
