Ap 2-d FinaL- The final blog post

My advise for AP students next year is if your waiting till the very last night to get a project done, then you better well know that you can do it. Also don't be afraid to exit your comfort zone. be willing to try new things once in a while.

My favorite piece this year is probably the one i drew of my brother and the crocodile. This piece made me realize that i was done with my first concentration idea and was ready for a change. I also liked how it turned out. I liked my flowering inferno piece, because it was something i made that was more feminine than what i usually make. also it was one of my one night pieces that won a gold key. that made me happy.

What i learned about my self this year was that if i start a piece early, then it will turn out better than one the night before (except for some occasions). I was willing to try new things

My favorite events are three-

1. the AP showcase- this is when i got the feeling of "yes, i survived AP for the SECOND time around". it was a nice experience to go through again. i also forgot how long you just have to wait around for.

2. The barbecue- did you try those Angus beef patties?

3. Lumberjack day- it was nice seeing my art teacher and peers outside of the art room and acting more casual and relaxed. Plus i really want to start axe throwing. Ms. McBride, I'll let you know if i want to get a target started at my house.

In ten years i see myself doing something that makes me happy. I don't like planning that far ahead to the T. But i probably see myself doing something with art. next year going to mica, i plan on trying all sorts of different medias, which i hopefully find something that will be my future career.

My completed concentration

Hamlet Rap yo!

Matt Shapiro, Jordan Burt, Colin Bickford and i just finished recording our first hit single as the clan known as Thug Dungeon. We all collaborated our creative input to make a Hamlet Rap. The assignment was to create a rap by oneself or in a group about hamlet. We had a class to write it and the next class to perform. Our day to perform is this coming Tuesday, the 20Th, and we wont actually perform because it's eight to nine minutes long and we cannot remember everything we recorded. Yes, we recorded our track. Starting with a rap, moving on into a screamo, then a creepy Beatles revolution #9 sort of thing, and finish it off with a shout out. The one song was originally about six minutes. But then we wanted to create a second track and a third. But then that all turned out to be one song. This is probably the best english assignment i've ever done/ been apart of.
shout outs to:

Shappyyyoo!

Concentration update

So, i know i basically started my concentration in february, because i got tired of my first one and couldn't fine any motivation to complete or push through it. I think i made the right choice though changing it cause i know i would of had a tough time completing my work. Some might disagree, but i think i will have the hardest time from now till the art show, because i have 4 pieces completed, 5 pieces in the works, 2 ideas to start, and 1 i don't know what to do yet. I have a 4 step process that helps me complete my work, but most of the class have only 3 pieces left to complete while i have 8 to complete. The next 2 1/2 weeks will be a hellhole for me, but atleast i'm happy with what i'm doing, so that will keep me going.

Pieces done:

1. Bro vs. Croc
2. Nana & Wine
3. Uncle Silly in Denmark
4. Cousin J.J in London

Working on

1. Me vs. Clown
2. Cousin Timmy & I
3. Merry KISSmas
4. Brotherly Love
5. First Birthday/ First piece of cake
