"The Playerz" and Art Projects

So during that last couple days of school before Christmas break, Kyliegh, Nicole, and I started a game club just for fun. We called ourselves "The Playerz" and we met once over Christmas and played tons of games. We always talked about getting polos but we never did. We wanted to get it done before I leave, so we went to Walmart and got $6 shirts and used Nicole's puffy paint to make our team shirts. We need to finish them with our nicknames and numbers on the back. My nickname is Flash and my number is 4.


Nicole couldn't get the orange out of the bottle and didn't know what other colors to use.



Here's my shirt. I messed up and didn't spell it with a "Z" on the end. The lightening bolt on the sleeve is my symbol since I am Flash.



We only had time for 3 games and Go Fish was one of them. I won that game :)



Here are my art projects from this semester.

This was a silk screen design.

This is me! It's clay fired in the kiln and then painted with acrylics. This project was very time consuming and difficult. It's titled "Grin and Bear It" because Alaska is who I am and it is where my home is. But we are moving which I am excited about, but I still don't want to do it. Therefore...I have my fake smile. Get it?

"Regret" This is a strange one. It is an abstract sculpture that I carved out of a block of plaster. Then I spray painted it gold..we all had to. Can you see regret? Its the bust of a person with their hand on their bowed forehead. Abstract!


This is a tribute to the artist Roy Lichtenstein. He painted this style of art. I really liked this one.

"Metamorphisis" This was my last project and it took only a week. It's clay that you cook in a regular oven. It shows a transformation of a butterfly to a leaf. I painted it with acrylics and mounted on a piece of wood. Amy inspired the yellow background and I love it. :)

Last Few Days of High School

Advanced Human Relations~My Favorite Class In High School

Here is my Advanced Human Relations class on the Senior's last day of school. We had a really good class that day. We did some finals that made a lot of people tear up about school ending...including me. I love this class so much! I grew and learned a lot and I will miss these people so much.

Here is the doodle board in the Student Government room.

Here is the Student Government room. It was where we spent all our free time at school. We had chalkboard walls that we wrote on and all sorts of colorful things. I will miss just hanging out in there with my friends. Leaving it on the last day of school was really hard and strange. *sigh* Time goes on doens't it?

Tuesday of last week, Chris and I put on his jumper suits and snuck onto a field and ran into the water there. It was really exciting :)

Super Fun Activities

So lots of new pictures! Enjoy!
The first set is from Amy's 18th birthday party! It was very fun. We played "Pin the Tail On the Donkey" and Katie cheated so much. She moved the donkey around all over the place. It was funny.













This is the present that I made for Amy.

Katie gave her these boxers. She sewed the pocket on herself because Amy always talks about keeping things in her underwear pocket.





Next....Amy's soccer game! Katie was keeping the score up in the box so we sat with her. It was exciting.



Britney came out a week ago with my niece Teaghan! She is such a precious baby! It was really fun seeing Britney too. She's great!


On Amy's birthday we went to dinner and to Cold Stone.




:) Lots of fun. I love you all so much!
