family art history

so...my grandpa has always told me this, but i never really thought about it much until now, but my grandpa's cousin is  great artist!!! his name is hulan fleming and my grandparents have his pieces everywhere in their house. i was over there tonight and really looking at them, and realized just how amazing they are.

this is his website...

how cool that i have such an amazing artist in my family!

this week...

so im pretty sure im pulling an all nighter tonight. lets just say im not very far on my self portrait. haha!

but im super excited for this week. we have alot to do i feel, but when its done we are gonna feel so accomplished with concentrations thought of and getting everything sorted out in our brains for the rest of the year! so as stressful as it will be with thinking about concentrations and getting our breadth section together and self portraits and hats due, it is gonna feel so nice getting all of this out of the way and ready to start on our portfolios. im just really excited. wahoo!!

FIELD TRIP!!

so on the lighter note, i loved the field trip that we went on. i never thought i was good at photography, and didnt really know what i was doing, but i ended up with some REALLY cool shots (and photoshop is also a huge help). haha

my favorite place was by far luscher (i dont know how to spell it) farms...here are some of my pics from that wonderful place:

...and this stupid computer wouldnt let me upload my two favorite pictures i took, but this at least gives you and idea of the pictures i took that day!

Great Weekend...

...not really. haha!

friday i had to wake up at 8 and go to volleyball practice, and come home and help my mom clean the house for three hours...not fun. then i went over to anna engstrom's house and we ate, and both ended up falling asleep. not mush of a hangout sesh.

saturday i had to take the SAT's early in the morning, and right from there, go to a volleyball tournament that i didn't get to play in. after the tournament i had to go to dinner at my grandma's and fell sleep at the dinner table.

and today i got on my computer to make a blog comment and post and i found out that my last two comments had not posted. i get really stressed about that kind of stuff, especially because it has to do with my grade in this class. so now i've just been freakin' out all day up in my room doing homework and stressing about art.

haha! soooooo...that was my little emo, venting moment...i'm glad i could share:)
