Pro Arte Utili

Today I started officially my studies in Taik, or Uiah: the University of Art and Design (in Helsinki Finland). In my group we have almost half of the people from abroad. The tuition is in English...so no going back now. I have to keep practising. Especially my written English. :D So this blog is now also my practising field for foreign language (adding to yesterday's text of philosophical diary + travel book)


The day begun with historical overview of the school. We learned the quotation of the school...Pro Arte Utili in Latin which means For Useful Art. Hmm...then we had some general info going on. And a group task at afternoon. They divided us into groups of three. In my group we were with this Finnish guy Pekka and a girl from Cyprus.


We had to take one formal and unformal picture of us to the school's intranet. And then we had to shoot pictures for a comic serial telling about us as a group. (That is the reason that we had to bring our cameras today (refering to the last text in the blog)) We had first no idea what to do, but then we started wondering what we have in common.



Pekka said that we all have brown hair. Which we do! But the girl from Cyprus said that I am blonde! And later that also Pekka is blonde.

"it is definitelly brown!"

We started to talk about the different views of defining colors and made our comic about that theme. The result was grazy, but I think ok :D At the end of the day we had to use a comic software to load the pictures and text to a comic screens. I try to put the result here tomorrow. Today I just add some pictures we took.

AND YES...I had to do the traditional handstand photo. For the unformal one.
