A Class Without Rules.............Unless It Will Get You Arrested Or Expelled

I never thought I would be in a class that has no set rules, except a few stipulations, for any of the assignments given out. Honestly I never even thought there would ever be a class available like that. We have all been so conditioned to doing whatever the teacher/instructor wants it is almost as if we have become mindless drones doing the same things over and over and over and over. I'm annoyed that it has come to that and it really does need to change. However that is not to say I don't like structure and some direction.   

I knew this class would give us lots of freedom, but never figured it would be as much as we get. I love having the freedom to do what I want with a lot of my 3D projects, but at the same time I always seem to struggle getting started with projects if I don't have some structure/direction to push me the right way to finish it. And honestly I didn't know if I would like this class, but after going through the first day of class I believe it will help me break out of the rut of not getting a project started. I will never be able to allow my skills to skyrocket if I don't figure out ways to work without direction. By the end of this class I believe I will truly be able to "see sideways" and take some different approaches to my work and be a better environment artist.
