Power of Poster

This is 3 day workshop, at cooperhewitt national design musuem. Me, Arkin, and Servett where in a group together. We're assign to creat a poster. Our idea is about addressing waste issue, how people are really wasteful during christmas, and all the chrismas tree that are cutting are trow away after the christmas is over.

Art Trip

Yesterday, the art as social force class have a trip to Chelsea Galleries. It was really fun experience. There 60 artist work and over 20 gaint art peices. all of the peice were on the huge walls. All those wall forming like maze. I look so small infront of those art works. Most of those art work are political, and deal with the recents issues in USA. such as Obama being in the presedent, global economic issue, racism and sexism. Same of the art work are very time consuming, like the one the map of eutopia, the whole images is made out of small pieces of black tape. where the other one are very simple. for example there's a giant black wall with black color word Evolution. if you don't pay attention closely, can't really see it. Yesterday's trip is so fun, we take alot of picture of me and my teamate intereact with the art work. I would suguest any to go there, it just a great experience.

College progress

I wish and hope I could finish all the writing portion of my colleges suppermental by this week. I had apply for Parson The New School For Design, School of visual art, FIT, Pratt, purchase and other. I finish my resume finally, and had send out to ask for recommendation, I had 2 personal statement done, and but need to get finalize. I had 16 art piece for my portfolio, but most of the are 80% finish, I need to edit them during the break. I still need to find a way to pay for my college tuition, I want to apply HEOP program hope I'm elegible. People been told me I had to high GPA to apply for HEOP or EOP. I just want to get most work done, so I had less to do during break. And I could search for scholarships, enter contest and prepare for big exams.

Can't wait for christmas break

Even though my family don't celebrate christmas, you'll never see a christmas tree, or gifts at my house, even though I still have to work during christmas break at my parent's Nail Salon. Even though I don't have much money to buy christmas present for my love friends and people I care and I can't do the secret santa, because I spend my money on metro card. I had lost my metro card for more than 3 weeks, and didn't get a new one, usually I had after school program which I have to use my metro 3 times a day, I had spend almost 100 dollar on my metro card, the people in the office told me I have to wait until Feb, But I'm afraid, I can't wait till that long. Never less, I still can't for the break and get a deep rest.

I'm writting a blog now because every semester we have ton write at least 12 bloger, last semester,I didn't know about it until the day before the blogs were due. This semester I want to finish most of blog so I don't freak out by the end of the semester.

Tomorrow at Parsons there will be a show case, where student display their art work, and after that there's be a special workshop for people who want to shot their photo fot the colleg porfolio, I have a lot of work to do, since my pofolio class is only once a week and each class is only 3 hours, I have alot of art work I didn't finish.

Blogger

Blogger is a great place to draw your idea down. in blogger you don't have to worry about if the sentence make sence, if your spelling is correct, you don't have to worry about the sentence structure,you don't have follow any rule or guide, you're basically free, other people have to understand what you write, you don't have to worry about other reading your blog, because usually people don't look at it. you could write what ever you what, put your emotion down, release your stress, you can write what what ever comes to your mind, with out a second thought. I'm a extremely slow writter, it takes me a long time to organize my though and write a essay. I could write a pretty good essay, but it takes a long time, I'm not a natural writter. But in blogger I could write fast, sometime none stopping. I feel the sky is the limit. Freedom of express. I feel I'm slowly liking blogger.

magic pencil

In my Art as Social force class, we have an project which is to creat a live self self protiat project. We took photograph of each other and print out our favourt pose and print out life size or bigger than life size. and using unual material to cover the image. My project is call magic pencil. If there such thing as super power, I want to have a magic pencil. which could turn any thing I draw into real life. In my project, I was sitting on top of a giant magic pencil, on the back of the erraser there's flame that come's out (made of atume leafs) and have the word passion on it and at the tip of the pencil there's a giant loose leave and have the writing change on it. I'm very experemental with my material, I have use rice, thread, MTA map, egg, leaf, stableler, penny, thread, loose leaf, and sparkle flower on my art peice. I love the way how it turn out. it looks very cool. I know it's harc to imagion but I'll upload a pictuire after I took a photo of it.

college

I believe that every senior accross the country was overwhelme by the among of college works and information. Every one seem to stress out. My school Urban Assembly of music and art was a brand new school, I'm one the first group of student that'll be graduate from there. So there's no one come before for us to make a refrence to. In my family I'm the first child to go to college my parent can't help me much, I have to fingure every thing out by my self. And this is not a good year to go to collge since the economy goes but the tution and pubic college compertition goes up, this year is more difficult to get finacial aid and scholarship. With many challenge and difficulty thank godness I have alot of people help and support me, like my friends, teachers, counceler, parson and more.

Fianally finish my resume

It seems take forever to finish my resume, I keep on edit it and edit it and spend many of lunch and after school hour on it. In my school lab top there over ten version of my resume. I had attent many after school program have some working experiece, but it's hard to put the experience on paper. I keep adding and take out stuff, the resume went from 2 page to 1 page and I add more become 2 pg agian, and add more detial it went up to 3 to almost 4 pages and it's edit down to two pgs. I just want to get it finish and send my rusume to people I want recomandation letter, and send it to college. so I could work on other important stuff. special thanks for people that helps me with my resume. I can't get it done with out them.

Social issue project

After a long time deceiding, I finally could some thing I'm intrete to research and do project on for the whole semester. My project was on Recycle art. I pick the topic because I love art, I love making craft. I want to creat an art project that's intresting, asthetic apealing and also bring up social adwarness about recycling. I 'm also planing to make an art lesson or tuturial on reclycle for the class. This project is very excited for me
So far I'm working on the research portion of the project. because I have fill the citations,but when I did the research on google, I realize it' hard to find written information on recycle art, since most of the site only showing the art pieces that was made from recycle material. Ms DJ told me to do research about recycle fact and find a way to tie the information al together. By doing that I have found alot of intresting recycle facts. I can't wait to finish the researcle because I want to get more time to work on the art part of the project. and I hope my project will go smothly .
Here's some cool websites I found information and images on Recycle art. I was amaze by alot of the work that was created hope you enjoy.
