Feedback

So since I missed last week's concentration, I was wondering if people could give me some feedback for the pieces I turned in.
If you remember seeing them, one was an abstract looking painting with a heart on the right side, and the other was a frustrated looking man painted on a piece of cardboard with splatter paint on it.
I would really love some advice, thanks!

So I kind of Fell in Love...

....with the big apple, New York City! I just spent a week in the city with eight other Pacers and good ol' Mr. Rosenau for the International Model United Nations Conference! It was one of the best experiences of my life - wow. We were each hosted by a UNIS (UN International School) student and got to do a lot of site seeing and shopping! I had such a great time with my host sister - we were exactly the same, all her friends and even her parents kept comparing us to each other! Lakeridge was one of the four American schools invited to this conference out of the hundreds (maybe that's an exaggeration...) of schools and countries represented there, so this was a great honor! I am so happy I got to experience such an incredible trip. I can't wait to go back to this adventurous city once again!

I neeeed inspirationnn!!!

So I'm getting to the point where I don't know how to present my concentration in artwork.....I have so much frustration and anger built up (probably mostly from not knowing what to do for my pieces) inside but how do I put it out on canvas/paper/whatever for the world to see?
Help! I need some advice!

Happy Presidents' Day!

Hope everyone had a great 3 day weekend! We've even had great sunny weather, what a plus! 

The Civil War basketball games were so intense, good job to all the players! Besides attending those games, I went on a treasure hunt at the Goodwill Bins and everything at Value Village was 50% off today wooh! What a eventful weekend!

Voodoo Too!!! om nom nommm

I had a very eventful weekend but I've got to say...the best part of it was going to voodoo doughnuts! I'm sure most of you guys go to the one in downtown more often, but that one was more crowded than usual so the girls and I hit the one on NE Davis. For those of you who haven't been to that location, I would definitely recommend it! It has a ping pong table, a photobooth, jukebox, game machines, and actual tables to sit at unlike the other location! They even had a voodoo doll made out of ivy in the parking lot! I got the Maple Bacon Bar, Grape Ape (fave!), and Chocolate Coconut doughnuts....it was all worth the 40 minute wait haha! Check it out!

January Concentration Pieces

Alright, so the picture quality is not all that great...but I hope you guys get em nonetheless.

It's graphite drawings on watercolor! My concentration is how people cope with anger and frustration.

New Year, Finally a New Post!

Soo it seems as though I haven't updated my blog in a few weeks...oops! But I hope everyone's winter breaks were amazing and you're keeping up with your new year's resolutions. Mine was to work out every day and guess how long THAT lasted.....one day :P
My time in Japan was amazing though; I spent a lot of time with old friends, family, and shopping like crazy! Here are some of my favorite moments:
