I have mixed feelings about the end of the school year. I'm happy since, well, no more tests and homework (except the summer reading project) for a few months, and I can catch up on sleep, but I don't get to see people as much over the summer, and next year the seniors will be gone...
I'm curious about the new STACies. I didn't talk a lot to the eighth-graders when I was in middle school, so I don't really know what they're like...I mostly heard about 8th graders and our grade getting in, but I wonder if there are any sophomores/juniors coming in also...

I thought STAC night turned out great! I remember coming last year, and the two years were really different! This year was more organized, and we took people into the STAC room, but last year had more improv.
I think the asian forest turned out well. It was fun working on it, but I wish we could have left it up longer...I hear plans for changing around the room for next year, and that sounds exciting~

Yesterday, I went into the city with some friends and my mom. We went to the Met. to see this exhibit on the roof, and the fashion exhibit on Alexander McQueen. We saw the roof, but the fashion exhibit had a really long line (over a half an hour wait)! However, the Richard Serra exhibit caught my eye and we popped in. The art was very simple, but I liked how it took up space (one piece was two 20(?)-foot pieces of black paper pinned to opposite sides of the wall). The funny thing was that my friends were wearing outfits that fit right into the exhibit!

-we also walked about 52 blocks (82->42->50-something)!

I also did a digital painting today, and I thought it came out pretty good.

Excellent painting. Good use of the shapes.
ReplyDeleteSTAC Night is different every year.
There are about 20 new people in STAC, including a bunch of seniors and juniors.
You aren't a newbie anymore!!!
Do you like Richard Serra?
Thanks~
ReplyDeleteYup. Ellen told me about some of the past ones...but I can't really remember what she said about them at the moment...
Wow, that's a lot of new STACies!
I liked Richard Serra. I thought the description of the exhibit was thoughtful. I remember it saying that Richard Serra doesn't see black as a color- but as something that reacts to gravity.
