my student's works after my second lesson
'distortion to proportion - after Van Gogh'
aren't they amazing works for Year 6ers who did this in one hour? - yes that's right, one hour! great stuff. we looked at mark making techniques with chalk pencil, quite effective and really challenging on both ends. heaps proud.
after recent events i had such a fantastic time at Parklife. although i did not get to see the Empire of the Sun i did manage to get front row several times including Metronomy, Bertie Blackman, Aeroplane + Metric. loved DJ Sampology, Art vs. Science + The Rapture. totally life changing. after many hours dancing and staring in awe at these artists it made me realise how lucky i was to experience this.
i know a lot of people missed out on tickets or had other plans but i am truely greatful for this festival popping my outdoor festival cherry. i will forever relive these moments in my life a thousand times over. there is no doubt always sydney culture is hard to beat.
i had also missed out on receiving the position of ball director, a executive position within my college. although disheartening i was asked to be the assitant, gotta love second best.
the next few weeks will sum up my first year of university - fast lived, academic and out of control! with three major assignments left with one silly little slide test. bring it on i say.
& with exam weeks coming ... i am super lucky i do not have any - [i dislike exams ie. hsc kills it for anyone], rather a week and a half's worth of professional experience at a primary school, which i too look forward to very much! my collegue and i will make a killer team + with our artistic skills combined, students will produce works that will simply take primary school art to a whole new level! ha ha.
i mantra for this week is - 'you cannot get ahead while you are getting even' ... so true, so true.
i must love you & leave you.
