How I did it
How to be bold with color
It took me
2 weeks
It made me

How I did it: It's a little awkward at first to start adding more extreme colors into a painting, but the more you practice with it, figuring out what colors are the ones that should be exaggerated, it all starts to work together.  Read how I did it…

How to get a job
It took me
1 week
It made me

How I did it: I started off applying for some summer jobs in different places. I've never gotten a job that way before, all my summer jobs have been through connections. I was telling my friend about my summer job search, and she was saying she'd be able to get me a job at the hotel she works at. I thought about it, it was more hours than I wanted, but hey, it's not like I have much going on this summer. And I've decided to take that job. Just waiting … Read how I did it…

How to try tofu
It took me
1 week
It made me

How I did it: I was at a thai place for lunch, and my friend got some stir fry with tofu. And I tried it. It's weird. But if I ever end up being a vegetarian it'll be nice to already have had tofu so my diet wouldn't have any changes that felt too weird. Read how I did it…

Sell a piece of artwork (read all 6 entries…)
OMG 6 months ago

Someone, a reading teacher at a school in my district, is interested in purchasing one of my paintings! I have no idea how to price art, so I don’t know how much I’ll get, but this is just really excited. I have the chance to check off one of my life goals while still in high school. Oh my god.

be more artsy (read all 2 entries…)
Today was good... 9 months ago

My friend was asking about my painting, and if I’ve gotten any new compliments, and I got to tell her about how some of the artsy kids were talking about my painting. They liked the feathers in it a lot, so does my teacher. People seem to like it, that makes me really happy. I’m really close to being done now. It’s exciting.

be more artsy (read all 2 entries…)
Maybe I am artsy, and I'm just not feeling it. 9 months ago

According to everyone I hang out with, I’m the most artsy person they know. But from my frame of reference I’m not too “artsy.”
I think more of this goal will be about realizing how artistic/artsy I am. I think I’m lacking some art confidence.

Artsy stuff going on now:
- 24×36 faux fauvism multi-media panting (need to add in the fake flowers and some rough graphite flower sketching, then I’m done)
- made a journal (sewn in the pages, made a hard cover, ect.) last weekend
- considering being an art teacher as a future dream job
- people keep thinking I’m going into the DAAP (Design, art, architecture, and planning) program at a close college. (I’m really just undecided in the Arts and Sciences)
