Don Bluth Collection - Amazing!

So, I thought I would share a little piece of magic for those who might be interested!

Last quarter, I had the opportunity to shuffle through the Don Bluth Collection at SCAD, and it was probably one of the most amazing experiences that I have had during my time here in Savannah.

For those who might not know, Don Bluth is the creator of many childhood animated classics, such as Anastasia, All Dogs Go to Heaven, and The Secret of NIMH.

Below are some of the images that most captivated me, and ones that I can browse over when I'm feeling uninspired. All of these are backgrounds to animations that he worked on (though some were never actually used), and the medium is gouache.

 

I hope you all enjoyed these as much as I did. Remember, find works that you love, be inspired, and create. 

Peace and warm wishes,

Katarine

What is this?

So, my first blog post...wow. I've been contemplating starting a blog for a while now, but I've always been a little hesitant. There aren't any more excuses now that I've created it, so why not?

I think I should note why I've decided to become a blogger and perhaps a bit about myself if there are any that might decide to read this.

My name is Katarine (Kat-uh-ree-nah), and I'm a 22 year old student at Savannah College of Art and Design (known as SCAD to many). I like a lot things, but I mostly spend my time reading, watching Netflix and Youtube videos, and working on copious amounts of homework. Pretty boring, I think. Haha.

Anyway, I've started this because I feel like I need some type of outlet to keep myself sane, and because when I decided to attend SCAD, I had no idea what the students actually thought. There are a few 'SCAD Vlogs' on Youtube that I frequented, but those were in short supply and left me looking for more. I know there are other people applying to SCAD who have questions about the school as well, and hopefully, I can be a light in a tunnel of darkness for some.

I also thought it might be nice to blog about...well, me - my life in Savannah and how I'm adjusting being away from home for the first time and going to a rather large college. I'll include pictures of my time here as well as my art because, well, I am an art student.

So, I guess if I had to sum up what I want to present in this blog, it would be - life, art, and Savannah.

Hopefully some will join me on this journey and we can rollercoaster life together.

Peace and warm wishes,

Katarine
