this is what i did this week!

this week was supppppper fun!  Tuesday i hung out pretty much all day with my artsy friends from school! we had so much fun being kids, playing at the playground, drinking slushies, trying on Halloween masks and laughing til we had tears in our eyes.




Thursday i had perspective class and Friday i had design class.

this was on the board in perspective class.
this is one of my drawings for my final for perspective class.
and this is just a two point building.
this is a drawing that i did in my design class while i was supposed to be paying attention... actually pretty much all my drawings were inspired because i was bored... :]
yay for boredom!

experiencing salt lake city/sandy for lunch!

Today was a good day. my mom and i decided that we were gonna explore the options of sandy, UT, for some tasty culinary choices for a good lunch.

we started by heading down state street and stopping in at the CUTEST little bakery, "Nothing Bundt Cakes", dessert sounded like the best option at the time so we went in. we were instantly rewarded for our choice by the best smelling shop in town, complete with adorable decorations, and two very nice people to explain to us how the shop worked. :]
we ordered our  white chocolate raspberry "bundtlet" (the equivilent of a cupcake only bundt shaped), then headed back out to find lunch.


 It didn't take us long before we came upon a soup and salad place that sounded good, (ZUPAS!) so we went in. we were greeted at the door by a very nice lady who asked if it was our first time eating there, we said yes, and she gave us the low-down on how to order, what was most popular and the special of the day. Zupas was soooo crowded, which to me was a good sign. everyone seemed happy who was eating and it smelled amazing in there. so we got in line the long line. it went fast and soon we were ordering our salads and sandwiches, and sampling and picking out our soups. the best part was that we got to try a sample of the soup before we ordered it. which was good and bad because i changed my mind each time i tried a new soup, they were all soo good! the people were some of the best servers that ive seen at a semi-fast food place in a looooong time, they actually seemed as though they enjoyed their jobs. which was nice to see, amazing food and a pleasant atmosphere. good deal. :]
we got our drinks and once again i was surprised by the sheer amount of choices they had for soft drinks. they even had syrup pumps so that if you didnt want on of the many different kinds to choose from you could just create your own flavor. that was soo cool to me.




we ate our lunches and enjoyed each others company, then when we were done we returned to the car to try our "bundlet". we were both pretty full so we said that we would try a little bit, save half, and let my mom take it home with her so that my cousin and brother could try it. that plan really didn't work out so well... we pretty much demolished the cupcake, and licked the bowl clean. it was soooo good. I strongly recomend both places, Zupas,  and Nothing Bundt Cakes. they were both sooo good.  needless to say, lunch was great, dessert was AMAZING, and the time spent with my mom was, of course, priceless.





The End!

creative class work. (thinking outside the box)

the assignment for this week was to create a work of art using any medium, that utilizes scale.
i decided i was going to create mini sculptures made of sculpy.

here are the steps i took.
the clay.
first, i mixed colors, alot.



then i started to create the little bodies of the people who would star in my set. these are the legs.



this is the size of the people, almost done with the man! (just gotta put on his head.)



the final project after some serious scaling, sculpting, painting, and primping.
i call it "family vacation".

hope you've enjoyed!

my lovely vintage photoshoot

for a school picture assignment i had create an interesting 8x10 image that incorperates a fruit, an animal(or person), and a book all into a scene that makes sense and tells a story.
to start with, I found a vintage book that was passed down to my mom from my great grandma.  Then i dressed my cousin in one of my pretty vintage style dresses, did her hair and makeup, and headed out to our backyard to join our fruit trees and get in a few good shots that i could hopefully use for the project. The shoot went great, the only bumpy part was when a HUGE spider decided to sit on little miss muffet's picnick blanket. other than that the pictures came easily, and so did my insperation. after the photoshoot, i edited the pictures a tad, then i repeated the process and took a few pictures of the same style inside the house with my mom as the model. many thanks to my two gorgeous models! (my mom, my cousin ashley. and our dogs of course. they wanted to help too.)
here are my favorite ones that i took tonight. enjoy!
