Los Questions dos!

1) How much time did you spend working?

On my individual I spent the whole week working on a project but on my final product about 3 days.

2) How much time did you spend thinking about the work - sort of sitting there and staring at it, or listening to it over and over again, etc.?

For the first couple of days I was sitting and looking at all the still lives that Mr. Ganes has set up. Contemplating on where I should begin. I started about 20 of them but I couldn't finish them. I started then stared at them and threw them away. I was definitely not happy with them. I was lacking confidence the first couple of days.

3) How much time did you spend doing other stuff that seems like work to that make you think you're working but you're not?

I don't remember if it was Wednesday or Thursday I had finally chose to draw Peter. Then I got bored of that and I looked at the Perrier bottles that are set up in Mr. Ganes' still lives and I started drawing them. I spent about 8th and 9th period drawing the bottles because of my frustration that had built up with the Peter drawing. Now looking back on it it was a waste of time because I could've done so much to fix the peter piece but I didn't and at the end of the intense week I did feel a little rushed.

4) How much time did you spend socializing?


I didn't spend as much time socializing as I did last year. There were times I was socializing while working and I got distracted but I feel like I am getting better when it comes to that. It is really all about catching yourself. If I didn't catch myself I probably wouldn't have had anything to show at the end of the week.

5) How did you use your community?


Well Courtney came to the rescue when I needed help on my Peter piece. She helped me out with proportions. For the majority of the week i was sitting by Peter, Bari, Katherine and Kaitlyn I would always ask them for their opinion on it. They would always give me their honest answer when something needed to be fixed.

6) Rip apart your awful project and how did such a disaster happen?

I don't entirely understand this question but I am assuming it is asking to bash on your project and how to make it better? I think I could have planned my timing better. There was still a lot to be done and it wasn't done. I also got a lot of not erasable charcoal on the parts that needed to be white and I could've been more neat about it and brought in white conte crayon to bring out the whites.

7) You've completed a step on your path. What is your next step?

Definitely my next step in the acting part is to do more acting. Practice, start small and hopefully it will get somewhere. I plan on auditioning for a part in the musical if i like the whole stage crew experience in the play.  My next step with visual arts is to move around the visual arts area. I have a really cool sculpture idea that I want to work on sometime in the future. I would even like to work more with ceramics. I have been working a lot in ceramics this summer and I really like it. Finally, for painting I am going to start and try to make more paintings that arent landscapes. I think I got those covered I just want to challenge myself and try painting faces because i have never done that. If I end up not liking the experience i will stick with landscapes and do more complicated ones.
