Let's Show and Tell our Concentrations!

After much consideration I've decided that ditching my last concentration (that I swear only like... 3 people might vaguely know about) would be a good idea. In a nutshell, it involved my character and wasn't really rooted in anything.

So! Here's my new grandiose idea!

My concentration is going to focus on a progression of a child's life(from very young adolescence to older childhood) and all the 'stupid' things they do. I want to take examples from my life, as well as my sisters and cousins, like when I was caught eating all the cookies out of the cookie jar to my sister repeatedly losing her lunchbox because she had to go to the bathroom before getting on the bus. All those ridiculous moments, where you wish you could disappear when you were a child, but laugh at as you age. I believe a medium that allows tight crisp lines and color, such as markers and pigment liner, may be the best choice.

*medium subject to change as well as the age range this covers

"Who goes to the beach without even going to the beach!?"

That is the quote of the day, folks! As asked oh so many times by my cousin, Brandon, who was devastated by the fact we went to the beach but not once set foot on the sand.

Today, Sunday, I went to the beach so I could eat Mo's clam chowder as a belated birthday adventure with the family and my beloved boyfriend Terrence. It was great! The adventure, that is, as for Mo's clam chowder... it wasn't tasting all too spectacular this time round... it lacked... well... salt is probably what it lacked. Salt... oh the abundant salt which could come from the sea... But whatever!

Overall I had a great day!

Until I realized I still have a lot of homework to do!

Don't get me started on scholastic submissions... I only have a cutout of myself and I have two ideas! One which might take hours or... an hour? UGH! So much due!

I should carry around a paper bag that has the words 'stressed' on it. Then in can breathe into it every time I start getting overwhelmed by everything that is coming up. Maybe it'll solve my migraine headache problem...

AS FOR ART THIS WEEK...

So I was sitting in the car coming back from the SATs (Saturday... oh my gosh... I don't think I improved my scores!)... ANYWAY... I was sitting in the car wondering what I'd post on my blog. I knew it had to be art related but I didn't know what. Then, FROM OUT OF NO WHERE, I remembered an article I read from... I DON'T REMEMBER, but it like... it hit my from out of no where.

AND THEN I KNEW

I NEEDED

TO TALK
ABOUT
ARTWORK IN THE EYE OF A NEEDLE!!!

So upon some research I found Willard Wigan, a microsculpter who makes sculptures IN THE EYE OF A NEEDLE.

Hey! Ms. McBride! You know what's better then man Snow White? Actual Snow White! In the eye of a needle! Yeeeaaahhhyyyuuuhhh

I was also informed that my AP art concentration trial (as I like to call it) was a bit Alice in Wonderland-esque by others before...

BUT ISN'T THIS AWESOME? I just had a random thought and now it has made its way onto my blog!

Happy days!
