THE Night

I present to you the first-place-award-winning cow!

No, really!!

(perspective)

And tonight was Parent/Teacher Conference Night. Scratch that, My Very Last Parent/Teacher Conference Night Ever!!! A truly wonderful evening! (srsly. I don't joke about this special meeting.) Mama visited all my teachers for their very last hoo-rah. Great conversation (Jones calculated that I have spent 5% of my life in his classroom), great praise ("I would adopt her!" -Mrs. Lee), and another great school night!

And I made Zwick a sweet poster of a bookcover of The Glass Menagerie for his room today. He put it next to the chalkboard. PRIME poster space!

ROUND TRIP

Took some neat pictures at the TOCA event on Sunday (yesterday, actually!). And what a day! We recreated Allan Kaprow's Round Trip where the steps are roughly:

-make a ball of trash starting with a piece of paper, string, tape, and cardboard

-roll and kick the ball around town and continue adding trash, newspapers, etc. until it becomes too heavy/ large too push

- begin deconstructing the ball as you continue to return to your original starting point until you are left with what you started with

So that's what we did!

Our last meeting is Thursday and I'm really sad to see the internship end!

MOCA happenings

That was our cute little set-up out on the terrace of the MOCA- equipped with 3 tents, a hammock, a microwave, a screen for guitar hero and movies, and 15 apprentices ready for a night at the museum

Oh what a night! (Four Seasons, anyone?)

And today was our second-to-last meeting and we recreated an Allan Kaprow score called "Pose" where we walked around downtown with a chair we brought from home, took polaroids of each other sitting in our own chair, and left the photo where ever we snapped it

um,

it's contemporary art?

However, it turned out to be really fun and very liberating!

So it's been a long couple of days and I'm an old lady-- ready to eat pudding at any time and about to go to sleep.

Math Equation Time!

AP Art Piece Scoreboard

let's see

6 hours of hardcore testing

4 hours of my Saturday spent at school for an AP Government review

14 hours spent in the art room on Wednesday finishing my art portfolio

and 7 hours today spent in the art room (with no breaks! I was cranky!)

that ='s to be 31 intense hours fueled on dried cranberries!

But it's all over! The paint caps are twisted on, the textbooks are closed, and I'm pooped!
