Artistic Abilities

I wanted to thank everyone for visiting my world. It means a lot to me. I have started to draw more in my free time since my english teacher has stopped giving us books to read. Ill start posting more art soon, maybe tomorrow!

In art class, we are doing ink blowing. (Dripping ink on a page and using straws to make it go different directions), which is really different from what I like doing (its so hard to control!) Anyway, she wants us to give abstract art a try.
I have finally decided that I want to major in graphic design. What is a good thing to use to start practicing that kind of stuff?

And

What are your opinions on the upcoming addition to SAO? Excited?
