Over the summer(in the last two weeks of summer) we were sent an email suggesting a summer project that we work on to bring to the first day of orientation. It was to be a self portrait, made out of recycled materials. Which for most students would probably seem a challenge even conceptually, but when Allison and I read the email we looked at each other and smiled.
I've been doing recycled art since about my sophomore/junior year in high school, I'll talk more about that in another post someday down the road, and Allison is no stranger to the medium...mediums... mixed media? either. We both have very different approaches to our pieces, but I'll let them talk for themselves.
As you can see mine ended up being an entire sculpture and Allison's more of a drawing with slight relief. Just two of the many ways we're our ideas are different.

Aye,
So today was pretty okay. I did enjoy seeing the people we saw on Sunday again. We met some sweet rad people at the picnic and today was about "rules" and "lets walk the school for A WHOLE HOUR" Now, for me. I can't sit still for more than 10 minutes. Yet I also don't like walking nonsense for an hour.
Yadda Yadda. I'm not afraid to tell someone that they need to think about their composition more. Yet kids are like " HOLY MOLY YOU'RE SO NEGATIVE " the moment I tell them there's too much white.
Anywho, Thats my side of the day.

Ps. Art supplies are dang expensive, and our wallets are significantly lighter because some "quality" 1.5 oz. tubes of paint cost $15.
Check back here on Wednesday and we'll have more to share/say!
"Until next time..." -He-man
