Week 8

This week has been one of the most stressful weeks of my life. I realized that painting in Art class has really helped me unwind, (and I am NOT sucking up).

I also learned that painting with acryllics is way more fun, and enjoyable than painting with water color (in my opinion). It is much more controllable and I like that. I also like being able to layer, and layer, and layer to my heart's content, and add fun textures. Landscapes are also more of my forte than portraits.

Also, I am very jealous of those going on mission trips, they will have a wonderful time, I wish I could have gone. I will be praying for them.

Week 7

Last week in art class, we finished up our seascapes in water color. That was fun, I enjoyed that a lot more than the portraits. Watching the guy paint is really fun, he makes me laugh, and he knows what he's doing. He told us about the backround, foreground, high ground, etc. That awakened my memories of painting landscapes in elementary school with my amazing, elderly teacher, Mrs. Cooper. Though she was often a little grouchy, she could paint better than anyone I knew. (I tried to post a picture of this wonderful lady, but the URL was blocked :/ )

I also learned that there would be a Colorblind Soldiers concert that I would not be able to attend since I will be in California. I am saddened. It would have been an enjoyable time.
