Cargo.

One of my really close family friends, Sue, goes to Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. She is a visual artist in her senior year and she works with metals. She has a lot of art pieces if you are interested her website will be posted on here! She has one fibers piece named "influences" that I really like. I have known this girl since the day I was born. She is from Westchester, NY.  For as long as I can remember she has been coming over and sleeping over with her sister who is my age. She just came over two days ago! Anyways this piece is a bunch of maps morphed into one giant one. It is really cool. When I saw that Long Island made it into her piece was pretty cool. So I just applied to this Cargo website to hopefully get a webpage started for my work! I think I am going to take it slow with the acting for a bit. I really do enjoy it but I keep catching myself (literally) eyeing my paint brush and I keep looking at work I made last year in STAC. I believe thats a sign I should go back and work on something. I just want to take a quick second to thank everyone that came up to me and comforted me after fridays mishap. I really really really REALLY appreciate it! It meant a lot that after we all went home to enjoy our first day of vacation I was getting texts asking if I was okay. On the post should be posted the link! enjoy!    Sue's Work!

Future of this tree.

Well today in STAC we had a bit of free time. So i figured why not and paint! Since I have the time because I know that I wont have time to do it tonight. I decided to paint something simple and something I can finish in twenty minutes. I ended up painting a tree with some leaves and a cloudy background. I had a lot of fun doing this. I am debating on whether or not I should start a 365. I would either do photography or painting or some sort of drawing. I am just afraid of not being able to keep up with my busy schedule. Maybe i'll start at the end of this school year to finish at the end of my senior year. Although i definitely want to have one done before I graduate!

I seem to find myself in a position where:
a) I want to do art.
b) I want to do acting.
c) I want to try photography.
d) Look into architecture (something I may want to major in)
e) Look into interior design (something else I may want to major in also)
f) I want to have time to keep up with my art and acting but try photography.
g) No time.

It's pretty annoying how as time goes on I have more and more of a busy schedule and I want to do these things. I really want to try to brainstorm and find a way where I can at least do the majority. Using STAC and outside time. As you can tell I keep mentioning college because it is around the corner! I am starting to feel the pressure. Two things I want to major in (I think) is architecture. I know "I think" doesn't sound too good. I have always had a sort of interest in it. I feel like if I take the TIME (something that is very scarce in my life at the moment) to look more into it and practiced some basic things I would be more motivated. Another thing that I love love love love love and for sure I know I want to do even as a side job is interior design. My mom used to be an interior designer and I believe she went to school for that when she lived in Peru. I love mix and matching things to make a room. I got my bathroom redone 3 years ago. My family made 1 big bathroom into two separate ones. One for my parents and one for me! I designed my own bathroom and picked out the tiles and sink and all that fun stuff. If i have time later on this week i'll take a picture of it and explain my decisions. Anyways, my mom loves recreating rooms and has always done some sort of home improvement since I was young.  My fear with that is that if i do decide to major in it it will not turn out well. So I guess I am stuck. I also am going to research other majors that involve art. I do not want to not major in something that involves art. I feel like ever since I was young i've wanted to do something with art. Maybe this tree is the lost tree in the middle of know where representing me. Sort of lost, looking for a place to go.

New Project...?

I've been thinking about a project and playing around with my camera. I really had a lot of fun doing the "Wall of faces project." I did portraits of people that I knew. I would definitely want to work with portrait photography and put my camera more to use. I did a bit of Wikipedia research about things like lighting and it seems pretty cool. I kind of wanted to try it last year but then I realized that I wanted to try acting first. Anyways I am going to do more research and see what I can do! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_photography

Kontroll.

We watched Kontroll earlier this week in STAC. It was really really awesome! I have watched it twice since and it just gets better and better every time! I have been recommending my friends to watch it too. Something about it got to me. Usually it is pretty hard for me to concentrate on a movie for its entirety during STAC because I am not comfortable when I sit or just if people react to something a certain way and I don't i'll spend a while trying to figure out what I didn't and by then the movie is over. I could not keep my eyes off the screen. It was just so interesting and it pulled you and even if you didn't want to watch it had that affect where it made you want to. I think the story behind it is really good. The whole time watching it I was saying to myself "the guy who is pushing the people in front of the trains is the guy himself." It is still unclear who did it since it can be many different people. I think that it kind of awesome because it makes your mind think about all the possibilities. The main character was phenomenal. I promised my family I would show it to them too! I am looking forward to that! 

Missing my friend.

Ive just gotten into this mood where I want to blog. Also I really miss working on my art. I love working on theatre, something that I never in a million years thought I would do. It is a lot of fun but I miss my friend, art. Last time I worked on art in Stac was a while ago and I had to do timed gesture drawings to get my proportions correct. So I decided to pick up where I left off! Instead of doing pencil i did water color. When I saw my brush i felt the need to just use it. My proportions still are looking weak. I decided to work on a picture of my boyfriend. The painting on the left was 3 minutes and the small one on the right was 1 and a half. Everything is all over the place. So i plan to try another one tomorrow! This was a pretty exciting night because I always say how I want to work on art but I never get a chance to because of school work. Im glad I finally got some free time!

The Brain.

http://www.brainfitnessforlife.com/brain-anatomy-and-imaging/9-differences-between-the-male-and-female-brain/

Today in class we discussed the difference between male and female brains. I don't entirely know why but I was really really interested in it. I was telling one of my friends about it. I got home and did some research on it. I found this link and it basically said what we talked about in class how men are less likely to worry, their spatial abilities are sharper, women have better communication skills. I also learned that the males brain is ten percent larger then the females brain to accommodate bigger body mass. Another thing I found pretty interesting was men are more left brain dominant and women are balanced between right and left. Lastly, Men are more likely to be dyslexic or have other language disabilities. Males are also more prone to autism, ADHD and Tourette’s Syndrome, while women are more likely to have mood disorders like anxiety and depression.  I feel like I want to do something with this information. It really really interests me.
