Halloween

It's Halloween. I'm stuck in bed sick again. I seem to always be sick. You see when I was little I had "acid reflex disease" which got worst as I got earlier. I would be out of school for weeks at a time throwing up. Sometimes I still do get sick but it's less now that an herbal doctor figured out whats wrong. But as of l
Recent I seem to b getting sick again. I'm just so tired of this, I hate having to feel like this so much but it's just a part of life.

Books and art program

Today my mom went to a sale at the library. She got tons of art magazines and books. One had a graphic arts disc. I only just now got my computer fixed for it so I'm gonna play around on it tomorrow. CAN'T WAIT!
Oh, and I've also come up with human trafficking as another social/human needs issue that I could research. More to come!

I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday, I sort of had a few kinds of drama going on. I got my report card and it had a 70, this is unacceptable and my dad will lose it. It's only the 1st quarter so I'm going to try and pull up second quarter to a 85 at least and even it out. Then exams should fix it a little more. I also had a little bit of relationship issues which have now been worked out and I am so relieved.
Anyways, today I got commissioned by one of the other students to do a piece for him. He will pay up to $50, I'm going to tally up the costs and have $15 or $20 for labor(it's a 11x14 piece) and tell him cost from that. This is the second time people have offered me money for me doing art. Im anxious to get started( I'm broke and need money for the upcoming holidays ^_^')
But for now I have to finish another piece for art, it's an accordion art poem thing... I just finished but I gotta fix some of the photos on my computer so here are the covers...

Oof

Yesterday after posting I had a little incedent. I fell down a flight of stairs on my back and elbows. So everyone who believes in karma here's something to think about. I am nice and kind to everyone, I help people whenever possible, I offer half my locker to people so they won't be late, and yet still bad things happen to me. The cosmos doesn't seem to particularly like me... Anyways, I guess I'll tell you about my recent project. It's for Scholastic art competion, if you win(or get accepted for that matter) you get put in an exhibit at the Brooks art museum which is a huge honor. The last 2 yrs I have tried to get in I got rejected, all 10 pieces. Anyways my idea is to make a piece based on words. I am going to make a pagoda city and write words on the buildings like innocence, justice, carefree, kindness, etc and then I'm going to make a giant Trex an write on him things like: greed, selfishness, evil, money, manipulation. It will basically be a distruction of good in the face of evil idea piece. I'm also playing with the idea to tear out pages of a dictionary and circling words and using that as the base. Anyways, here's what I have so far....

Greetings

Hi... I suppose this will be my first post.... I can wait to start showing you guys my art and the causes that I plan to start looking for that will inspire me. I guess I will start by showing you my recent diversity piece... Oh and here is the description i gave with it before I entered it into a contest, which I will be sure to tell you how that goes.

Anyways here it is....

Title: One=Many

"My piece expresses that diversity is how we are different, but are in a way still one people. The baby signifies our foundation or roots, a simple body. Then from the roots we branch off, as also shown, and become so many different forms of the same foundation. We all started out exactly the same. We all had the same amount of chromosome, and each of have no real guess on how we will look, talk or act over time. You can be born of so many different ethnicities and later become part of different social groups. Becoming diverse in your own way, but your still a person with all the same building blocks as everyone else. Meaning that you are born with a blank slate, the same as everyone else, and then you become so many variations of the form. I tried to express that idea with my art. In that we are diverse in what we become."
