Art Club Fun

The first thing I want to say for this entry is that

I JOINED THE ART CLUB!

I know, I know. Big woop, anyone can join. But for me it's something special because it's the first time I've actually gotten involved in such a thing.

"And I'm SO set on it!"

Like I'm really trying to throw in ideas and inspirations to whatever task we are going to present in terms of representing the club to its full extent. I'm so excited for everything about it. Especially the random trips to random places, mainly museums here and far. Last year the club actually had gone to Philadelphia! I forgot for what but heck, thats Awesome anyway!
This October we're actually set on going to the Botanical Garden in the Bronx. I can't wait to get closer to the people and share artworks and visions and just expand my mind and talents even further.

So today, since most of the clubs have just settled and started a small group, Nassau held the Student Activities Fair where all of the clubs in the school come together in one huge lot and just represent and try to bring in more and more students and have them more involved. Personally, aside from the breakdancing club, I feel like ours was one of the most attractive booths set. Everyone was hanging out doing their job mingling and talking up how amazing the art club truly is (::wink::). What made it even better was that a couple of us (three including me) had some artworks to represent some styles and views the club had. We even had a bunch of food from our leader who works at Starbucks.
Fresh food in terms of small coffee cakes, banana nuts, glazed watchamacoffee cakes - that gets thrown away every close because they always serve their products fresh... Dunkin' Donuts does it also... and Auntie Anne's.... I think Pretzel Time... and any other companies you can think of that I can possibly digress the topic about how wasteful they are...

"but, mmm... Starbucks..."

We had coffee, balloons, really bright table cloth... and to top it off we had a small print making demo where two of our members printed the art club flyer design on tshirts. I wish I had brought my camera to show how we had everything displayed in our gallery made up of 8 pieces taped on a mobile chalkboard.

"It feels AMAZING to finally be so involved"

Here are the pieces I made though. I had promised the club I'd work on 3 large pieces to present for everyone on Tuesday. Pieces I started from then til late last night...

"Alll last night..."
(allowing me only 45 minutes of sleeptime until my eight o'clock English class...)
"and I'm still awake... why?"

All in that order. I actually liked the way they all turned out, except maybe the middle one... Which looks much better in the picture than actuality. They're mainly self portraits fun and exciting to catch the eye and represent the art club through a saying.

::SIGHhhhh::

That whole hour of just promoting the club was just so much fun. Then I had work two hours later where I had to fight against my horribly fatigued body to work against seven more hours before I sank deep in my bed...

OH so UPDATE on the painting!
Take a look.
I'm not gonna say much for it now but that I'm happy with how its turning out but of course.

"truly I can't stand looking at it because the unfinished piece is just SO obnoxious..."


"Go Sisley!... ..."
