Hmmm..

Printmaking sounds fun. :] I'd choose that over painting, but that's becuase I can't paint for squat; your case is probably different. x]

Personally, printmaking or sculpture. I'd be hard-pressed to decide.

that's where i went talk2hand


Okay, i know what it is, and i've realized i've done it (rofl.) so here is my REAL opinion.

I personally would go for painting because i enjoy it more. Printmaking was hard on my hand to do because of the linoleum blocks and the carving tools. It's also harder for someone to get good and used to printmaking IMO, since you have to work backwards, and have limited choices for the color scheme and shading; while you can still crosshatch, it's not the same as mixing colors and successfully creating shades.

On the other hand, you do have a very good style for printmaking. You know i've seen the stuff you've drawn ( ;D ) like the baby in my signature that's all "KIMI > ALL ;D " And that looks like it'd be suited for printmaking, same with a lot of your other art i've seen around ( ;D ) however, you'd have to take into consideration that you'd have to make the negative :B (i'd personally HATE having to carve it out like that. i made a spider when we did printmaking and i didn't like it. and then i cut one thing too close and the thing fell off and i didn't like the end result at all)
which brings up another point that once you cut the print then you can't fix it (unless you're 1337)

ETCHING TYPE PRINTMAKING SUCKED. It was so hard. We took plywood glass and etched in with some metal stick thing. (it makes that EE EEE EEE noise like a blackboard) and the same kind of happens as i've said above, it was hard on my hand and i had to use crosshatching.



with that said,

while my paintings haven't been all too successfull (i'm trying again this weekend) I enjoyed it a lot more than printmaking. The downsides are entirely different though sad i got paint on my favorite sweater!!! : (((

jkloololol.

But seriously, the color combinations are really hard. Also keeping the paints within the spaces i really wanted to allot for them was difficult. i had to fingerpaint water once because i had more control with my fingers. (lol.) There were also a lot of different techniques and color choices for me to make.


All in all, at this point i think it depends on your preferences and what the teacher's instructions are like. After all, you have to listen to the instructor.

No, tis not a random blob. Tis a clay turtle I made in fine arts last year xD

Now, for your courses.
I would probably take either ceramics or painting. But I guess your course load is far different from mine. For instance, I'm taking graphic arts right now (art mixed with media to produce images that impact the public view on things, blah blah). Fine arts is a mixture of everything, and next year I'm taking graphic arts (AKA COMPUTERNESS D: ).
I helped in no way what-so-ever xD
But I like to work with my hands, and painting's pretty fun and such.
