JIm Workshop day 2

Today we learned that you have to let go and words don't make the emotions but emotions make the words. Personally I learned that imagination is what makes things seem better or worse then they really are. he told us to imagine our favorite memory and keep thinking about it but I guess I just tried to fight the feeling and emotions it just left me tired. I guess being weak isn't that you let your emotions out but sometimes it's a instinct to hold it in.
Some people laughed at some of the serious times and makes you wonder maybe that is their way of not getting emotionally attached. I've learned a lot and it is just about embracing.

What a day....

Well today would have to be the most inspiring day of workshops. it really was life changing and glad to spend it with all of friends. "Everyone is a zombie just find the child inside of you and don't forget. You may have forgotten that little kid but now that's where you get your creativity." Just what got to me the most was that he was right and as usual I just tried to drown all of the problems out. After looking around you see all of your friends or not and know that they all have a story and have have found a core relationship with each activity. I knew for sure that I had someone that I was yelling at while he told us to yell. It was also where you see what people really have problems with. I can definitely say I let my guard down during this activity.  Sometimes I learn that emotions are what causes our drive to creativity and never resent them. Everyone has to break down one day, I guess today was the day.

Drawing to Paint

You know how people say that tracing is so easy? well, those people have no clue what they are talking about.
 Today in art workshops we had drawn in blocks ans shapes instead of drawing for drawing.
It may should complicated but once you find the shades and relation to each other you get the hang of things. The shapes that you draw with charcoal is really just making decisions and not focus on making it look like the features because it will just form into it. I definitely learned that being accurate takes the fun out of the distortion. 

Workshops are done and finished

Day 5! only one more day left........

There is only one more day of workshops!!! I will definitely miss Margaret a lot but I'm really excited to see what everyone has been doing in their workshops. We might not have been taking pictures for the Coo Febs but we might just steal pictures from the photo group. These past workshops have been so much fun it's hard to believe it's over. When everyone goes their separate ways to go to workshops it is like they all have a secret they can't wait to reveal. With only one more day I'm just wondering if we have time to finish our works. Friday is most definitely going to be a busy day.

Day 4: Workshops

Alright so the shared obsession was Dexter and such a coincidence!!On Friday  I had time to work on my paper mache puppet and working and being messy was a lot of fun. Some people hate the feeling but I feel like its a chance to really have fun with what your working with. And not recommend to high five other people if they hate the feeling. Not the best feeling in the world , found out by Mairead and Justin.
