There’s going to be a gallery opening of the student’s works from our studio.
This is what I’ve been working on.. I’ve been pouring a lot of time in making these little pyramids to stick on her dress. I’m trying to see how I’m going to put the pyramids on her dress. I want to make it look sophisticated? I have to completely re-do her face, because it looks absolutely horrid the way it is now. Her hair too… I hope I get this finished. Who knows maybe I’ll put this in my actual portfolio for college. 

Something New
Skulls
My grandpa lives far away, so I’m always excited to see him when I visit. My cousin took a picture of us in front of his house. It was a nice day outside, and I thought I could use my drawing abilities to draw something for my grandpa so he could look at it.
This was all done by just a pencil and an eraser. Took me around 2 hours? At the most.. Anyways, I hope he’ll like it.
Artists: Creativity is Inherent
Artists have one thing in common: creativity.
In the modern day and age, students are inextricably absorbed into academia and higher learning education. Don’t get me wrong, education is important. But, not only do SATs and GPAs hamper a student’s ability to realize that there is more to life than universities and scholarships, but they also inhibit a student’s ability to become idiosyncratic, and discover his/her true artistry.
This is why I love art. It allows me to foster my individuality, but more than that, manifest my creativity. Through art, I can create, I can illustrate, and I can express ideas that are in my head. Art allows me to communicate my feelings to others, which I sometimes cannot do with words.
With merely a glue gun, a long strip of hard (yet flexible) wire, and a lightbulb, I was able to create a flower. This was my first piece at the art studio. With this flower lightbulb I tried to show my individual style. For now, I don’t know what it is so we’ll leave it at that.
The Emergence of an Artista.
Green Peace!
Green Peace is one of the more famous environmental groups today. This groups causes much sensation around the world, mostly because the group acts frequently, and it also causes drama in many parts of the world. For instance, in November, Green Peace wrote “chemical giant Clorox announced yesterday that they are phasing out the use and transport of Chlorine gas in the US.” This is merely one of the great victories Green Peace has gained. Green Peace is working towards improving our climate, saving the Great Bear Forest, Boreal Forest, safeguarding oceans and more!
There are things YOU can do too! Although they may not be of great significance, I have signed petitions to try and get involved. If you want to help your environment as well, this is the group you want to join! Here are some things you can do to help Green Peace (all this information is from the site directly)
1. Set up your own, personal climate change campaign website (in a few seconds!)
Greenpeace Canada’s climate change cyber-campaign can be found at www.greenpeace.ca/kyotoplus. There, you’ll find opportunities to sign a petition and get in touch with your local Member of Parliament.
You’ll also find something new: the chance to sign up as a Greenpeace Climate Defender. What does a Climate Defender do? First, you set up your own personal climate change website. It takes just a few seconds, and from there you can put up pictures of yourself, write a personal message, and invite friends and family to sign the KYOTOplus Petition. You’ll also be able to set personal goals and fundraise for Greenpeace’s climate change campaign. Think of it as your very own climate change campaign.
2. Pedal for the Planet
Want to get off the computer and out into the world with your own, personal climate campaign? Greenpeace and other organizations have organized a cross-Canada bike action called Pedal for the Planet.
Right now, everyday activist like you are leaving from both Canadian coasts for a relay ride across the country. We’re travelling to Ottawa to deliver a strong, urgent message to Stephen Harper: Canadians want their concerns to be heard at the international climate talks in Copenhagen, Denmark this December.
There are lots of opportunities for you to get involved. You can help organize a leg of the race—volunteers are needed every step of the way. Or you can sign-up to ride with us when we hit your part of the country. You can also help us by contacting your MP.
3. The best way to help Greenpeace take on climate change? Monthly giving.
The best way to help Greenpeace? Sign-up for our monthly giving program. Monthly giving is simple, easy and completely under your control. It also gives Greenpeace the steady source of income we need to plan our long-term, strategic environmental campaigns. In order to maintain our fierce independence, Greenpeace does not solicit donations from governments or corporations. We rely on committed, individual donors like you to take on urgent issues like climate change.

Green Peace is a great environmental group, and one of the most important things to do is at least TRY to help them help us! Here are some of the BASIC things I did.

High School Musical: this never happens
High School Musical – a series of unrealistic, idealistic, ABSURD and totally corny movies about high school. As a high school student, I know, indubitably, that this never happens. A school just overflowing with beautiful people that sing MUTUALLY with impeccable and flawless coordination at times of bliss, anguish, frustration?
No. This never happens.
I did not anticipate an Emmy-award winning movie, after all, it is a Disney film production. However, I was surprisingly excited about this film. Maybe it was Zac Efron that caught my attention. Or maybe it was my love for musicals. Or maybe it was boredom that made me obsessed. (Boredom, yep, that’s probably it..)

But, after I watched the movie, I had my “what the heck?!” expression on my face. Sure, it was a Disney film and, sure, it was created for the eyes of children, but STILL. This NEVER happens. Disney movies allow children to believe that high school is going to be all great, fun, happy, and exciting, but for me (and probably for 99.9% students in my school), it is so far the worst experience of my life. This phony movie made me want to SCREAM! (Well, no, not, literally because I liked the songs and Zac Efron). They looked SO cheerful and perky it was almost horrifying to watch. I pity children who actually long to be a high schooler. High School Musical is leading them on, making them think that high school is about being a socialite, being a varsity basketball player, or getting the lead in the talent show or play. It’s not..
No high school in the world is anything like High School Musical, the unrealistic, idealistic, ABSURD and totally corny movie.

UNFORTUNATELY. Once I listen to a HSM song, I can’t get it out of my head. This probably annoys me the most: the only way for me to get the song out of my head is to actually sing it. And when I do.. oh, the stares I get from upperclassmen are just epic – sometimes, if I look really closely, I can even tell how they want to murder me (but I always stop singing before they get a chance to completely plot against me).
