Margaret DeLima and the Coofebs

Tomorrow the Coofebs will be doing an art workshop with Margaret DeLima. When I got home today and started my I wasn't sure what kind of art Margaret does, because art has such a wide variety. I went to her website to see a sculpture of some sorts. From there I read her artist statement, I learned she is a visual artist that uses clay, paper, paint, tape, mold and so on. What stood out to me was that she does physcogeography. From reading her artist statement you can get a sense of what her art means to her, it relates to her life in some sort of way, or something she thinks about. I look at some of her artwork and I notice she does a lot of self portraits, which I liked because it was almost like view of how she sees herself. I think my favorite piece was 'Feed me' which was a pink bird house with a baby inside. I really can't wait to see what we are doing tomorrow, I am sure it will be interesting!

STAC live.

What else can this title be?
So for my first STAC live, I think I can say it was pretty awesome. It went much quicker than I thought it would be. The first time doing the opera was scary, but by the time I got to message of love, that kind of went away. I don't know why, but I think the second time did not go as well as the fist, but I think that was because less people came to that one so less people reacted, I guess... However, ninth period! So many people came, I was suprised to see people having to have to sit on the floor! By then, my confidence was built up, so I think I did my best then. I almost wish I could watch it, because I don't know how the screen worked out! Did it go well? I actually heard people talking about it on facebook!


GOOD JOB EVERYBODY!
Oh, and I am getting my braces off tomorrow!

Stepping it up a notch.

 This week was full of preparation and new ideas. I love the idea of the screen, and I really hope we can pull it off. It almost scares me the thought of it not working, but then again I am a pessimist. I am sure it will amaze many but, I still wonder, if there will still be that one [or more?] person who still won't get it, and still think negatively of STAC. On commercials: some I feel people [well, in my class] like and understand, but some were not. However, people still ask me about it , even teachers [although, one of the teachers I know for a fact does not like STAC]. As for the opera, I really like the whole idea of it, the teachers [or is it specter now?], the friends [who sound ghetto so it is funny sing ghetto and opera.], the girlfriend, and the parents. The lyrics are really funny to! For message of love, it was a little tough practicing that for the first time because we didn't have drums and it was my first time sing with the band. Anyways, I am excited for STAC live and for this upcoming week!
