A short week... thanks pilgrims!

This week was short but we still got stuff done. The song we heard for STAC live was really cool. I think it is a good song that can show not only some of what we can do but in a way what we are about. I also liked how everyone can sing it, so it won't start off as 'well here are the musicians and after is the actors and so on' it is saying 'hey this is STAC, this is what we do'. The ideas my group came up with are great. I think it started with Jill's idea of hearing foot steps that gave us all ideas and we kept on adding more to it (The best group work is like that.). Can't wait to work more on it!

The prisoner this week was really entertaining. I guess it is number six getting a little revenge by torturing number two. The actor who played number two was really great not only his voice but how you really see a change of personality or mental state from strict or stern to scared almost acting like a little boy. It is really funny how for all this time a village takes control over number six's life and now six has control and is tearing the place apart by making number two fell betrayed by everybody!

The feast... or is it just feast? It was a little awkward at first walking into a room with many people you do not know, but everybody else seems to know. But, when everything got settled and it was time to feast, at the food was amazing! I think that might have been the most chicken I have ever seen in my life at once. It was cool hearing from the alumni and their college experiences. It makes me wonder what I am going to do when I go to college. Hopefully something in the arts!

My Daily Practice!

A long week.

Because of being sick last week, I was only in school for two days! So what I did last week was a bit of a blur. However, this week could not feel any longer. Not only was I not sick, but there was no days off for some holiday.
This week I had a lot of the portfolio left to do, and because everybody in the class did bad on the social studies essay, I had to re-write the essay. Of course after hours of work, my printer's ink decides to run out leaving me in a panic! Thankfully, in the end, when I handed the work in I could take a huge sigh of relief.
Talking about the Empty Space was interesting because of how many people can relate this book to themselves and situations they have been in that could relate to what Brooks was saying. I have to admit though, I caught my mind wander a bit after a while.
Thursday we watched the prisoner episode "Checkmate." I swear, if I were number 6 I would have gone crazy by now because every time he tries escaping it ends up in some plot twist that makes my brain go mushy. They we talked about ways to show we don't go with the STAC stereotypes and ways to make people want to audition. Someone told "Oh STAC? Yeah, all they do is get high or something." and "So STAC is a cult or something right?", so hopefully our attempt of making thought like that go away comes out well!
For my Daily practice I want to do a drawing everyday so I can improve [and avoid drawing like anime/cartoon style]. I will put my daily practice blogs in a different blog than this one, so I will give a link when I get it up. As for the hallway designs, I am thinking of maybe drawing one of those thinks you hold puppets with and stings so you act like a puppet on strings[Just an idea.].
Happy second quarter guys! Wait... should I be happy or scared of that... I guess I will find out.

Blue and Green.

 Throughout the movie Tell No One I noticed a lot of symbolism. One thing really stood out to me throughout the film. The scene with the little boy trying to find the green block was representing in a way a puzzle or a problem, and the when the boy picked up the blue block, I was thinking because Alex gave the boy the answer, it was representing a problem solved. As Alex is running I noticed his pants were sorta green [That or I am color blind. But i thought it was a gray green mix...]. I thought that symbolized that the problem is going on right now and we are trying to figure out what is going on. Later on the police officer [or was he a detective] on his way to Gilbert Neuvelles' house I noticed a blue car freshener in his car. I foreshadowed or thought because it was blue he will find out, solve, or be told the answer to the problems [which in the end he did over the wire that was in Alex's shirt]. Later on in the movie when Alex walked into Margot's father's house the couches were green but both Alex and the father [I really need to catch up on these names...] were both wearing  blue, so it was like all the problems being solved. Lastly, when Alex walks in the woods where the tree is its like all the plants which are obviously green for the most part, is representing all the problems that faced them came to a happy ending when Margot reunites with Alex.

Well, this is what I was thinking. Maybe too much thought put into that [maybe too little?]. Or maybe because blue and green are my favorite colors... but I hope not...
