Day 4

Wow... today was a really good day. i woke up really prepared for class which made me feel great. i had drawing an 3d again.

3D was sooooo cool. we got a tour of the work shop and we got or own tool box filled with cool stuff and got to see how all the machines and saws and screws work. i am so excited to make something!! we also had a critique if the pictures we took. i had a really good critique. i kinda understood the assignment a little better that everyone else so it seemed and everyone including my teacher really liked it. he told me i had an amazing eye for detail which made me happy.

Drawing was amazing too. she is turning into my favorite teacher. she was really intimidating at first but she is just sooo good at what she does. she is preparing us for the future and i love it. her lessons are so intresting and informative that i just dont want them to end. my critique for that class went well too. she says I am really good with design. i worked sooo hard on what i did too. i just didn't want to disapoint her. i am so excited for this class to continue im going to learn soo much

Cities & Experiments

There is this great city on this small island. The people are drowning in the waters that surround, almost a sinking city, underwater but not yet they don’t realize. The water, bubbles of white keeping the city trapped within itself. The bubbles are the dreams of the inhabitants floating still on the surface but caught in the wave. Waves; destruction, distraction, crests of love crashes of death, curls and splashes, desires and mountains of truth.

This city, this beautiful city, the ups and downs of the skyline are photographed every second but travelers but the visiting don’t realize that it holds the key to what the city is. The skyline is life in the city itself, the ups and downs that make it a truly unique society. The city is geometric; Lines, little squares, straight and concise, like its expectations. Beauty in the usual is ignored and one only focuses on the ever changing extraordinary.

Trees scatter the street as an attempt to conform, to become like other places but there is no other like this, it is unique in good ways and bad. The Streets are mazes of confusion, pits of dirt, home to stores with no purpose, buildings that are just there. The possibilities are never ending, food, clothes, services, and shelter. Conversations live here. You travel the sidewalks; you hear snidbits, pieces of life, and pieces of distraction. The whole city is just one big distraction from life and the big wide world that exists outside this tiny island.

The island is like a zoo. The streets and buildings are the cages. The bridges are the holes between he bars. The possibility of escaping is always there but the fear of the unfamiliar keeps it just as that, a possibility. Creatures of all kinds roam free, some confined to different areas, others scattered among the constructed world around, people of different colors, beliefs, origins, states of mind, ambitions, and financial means. Beauty exists everywhere in such a diverse culture but many chose not to see it or become aware of it. Hatred is present but so is love and happiness and acceptance. Different paths, overlapping lives, like a unique social experiment that just wont end.


Carts of goods, people, places, smells, feelings, cracks in sidewalks, gum on streets, cars, bikes, cabs people are everywhere yet you feel alone slightly. Sounds are everywhere as well as smells yet you can’t recognize what you are recalling or noticing. Sounds, sights, and smells just blur together into one. A meeting place, a gathering of the world, a place like no other yet made of bits and pieces of other places and other cultures blended into one big smoothie of a city with a flavor unrecognizable yet you just have to take another sip.
