My art.

So for as long as I can remember I've always been drawing. When I was a little girl I was convinced that I would grow up and become a famous artist. But after awhile...I stopped thinking that because I didn't think my drawings were any good. Once I hit junior high and high school, I started drawing again and without taking drawing classes...I would doodle everywhere and eventually got better.
So for my second semester in college, I decided I would take two art classes...because since they don't offer any fashion or sewing classes at a community college level...I might as well perfect my drawing skills to help better my renderings.

I am completely in love with my art classes. I take a drawing class every Monday and Wednesday and a Design Fundamentals class every Tuesday and Thursday, and only one week in and I am already excited to take more art classes in upcoming semesters.


My first project for my Design Fundamentals class was to create 6 drawings using any materials we wish, and take a certain viewpoint of a picture and recreate it.
These are 5/6 I came up with:

Coral Gables

Soo my dad has this thing where he likes to go exploring random cities. He used to do it in Chicago and now he's doing it down here. So this morning he woke me up at 9AM (Blasphemy, I know) and we went to Coral Gables.

I had to take pictures of this old theatre because well..you'll see.

First we visited the Venitian pool, which was extremely cool.

And then we went to the Blitmore Hotel

So usually the places my dad takes us to are REAL lame...but this time, I was very pleasantly surprised :]

Only in New York!

For starters, my 18th birthday was amazing! We went to Maggianos for dinner. I just wish the Chicago Maidy's were there to celebrate it with me, but I absolutely adore the present they gave me!


Emily, Me, Sean





And then there was my trip to New York, which was AMAZING. I can't even begin to go into details because so much happened. But I guess a picture is worth a thousand words...and i took a bunch of pictures:


This was the view from our hotel window:






That was a picture in our room.

Rent, we were in the third row!





The Little Mermaid, which also was AMAZING. We sat all the way in the nosebleeds and still saw everything! I didn't get to take many pictures, but I snagged some before the show started:



And the rest was all a blur....















Long story short, it was one of the best trips of my life, and I hope to go again very very soon!
