Cross-Curricular Project



Art is pretty much my favourite thing in the entire universe so if I was going to relate any of my art work to a subject, it would be art obviously . But I didn't want to be to cliche so I picked up one of my interests from the past few years and collaborated it all into one. FASHION. 
Many people will say fashion is really not an important because really when you think of fashion you think of skinny supermodels strutting up and down a runway wearing a thousand dollar name brand piece of fabric. But I bag to differ. I believe it is much more then what it appears. 
It brings out your creativity and improves self confidence. It shows how unique you are from others and sometimes it's good not to feel like everyone else.  What I realized is that people feel extremely happy when they create something that they like and ends up a success. For example if someone was getting dressed and they decided to wear an outfit that they had never worn before and people complimented them on it they would be happy and self confident. People then will understand that it is okay that your clothes look different from other people's and they start to enjoy looking different that will become a lot less stressed about how they look and won't feel as much pressure to look like everyone else. 

So that is what fashion means to me and now for the amazing masterpiece*DRUM ROLL* 
This is a collabortation of my fashion phase throughout the past 3 years. 
Fashion is already a form of art. It's something you create out of nothing and design in your own way. And I think it is such a cool form of art because first you create it and then you can wear it for the entire world to enjoy and see.

Terrarium building



Last Saturday my friend Bailey and I made some Terrariums just because. We found the idea from tumblr, Pinterest and in little stores so we thought it would be cool to make our own! 

We went to Vandeweids and got some Succulents and Cactuses. 
Then we went to michaels and got the other material. Cost about $50 all together. 

The turned out superb!

Norwegian Village

 I wanted to paint a picture of Norway since I am applying for an exchange program to Norway or Denmark. I found this picture on the internet, stretched a canvas for the first time( learned I had no upper body strength) and began to paint. I started with using charcoal to sketch out the image then began painting.
