It's Abstract.....

This is what me and 7 other kids from my art class did today. :) The middle school orchestra teacher's son is going to college to become an art teacher. He's been student teaching or observing or whatever it's called for about 3 weeks. Today, he had to teach a lesson. He showed us some abstract pieces from Jackson Pollock and others like him and we each picked a card that had a specific type of painting style we were supposed to do. I got straight lines. Others were splatter, blotches, wavy lines, etc. He had a lid in the middle of the middle paper. We each started on one box and rotated to every other box. At the end, he took off the lid and there was one circle of white among the chaos of color. He said he saw it as a light at the end of a tunnel, as hope. I saw it more as peace and escape from the chaos. Everyone sees it differently.

At track, we warmed up outside (I was better prepared for the weather than yesterday) and then we sprinted in the hallways and did stair workouts. Not too much fun...

After practice, I took some depressing-ish pictures on my favorite stairs in the building with Aly. I chose this picture over those but I really liked them so I might retake them tomorrow if I can't get a better blip...which I most likely won't.

Tonight was the middle school orchestra concert. I play with the 8th grade orchestra so I went. My sister is in the 7th grade orchestra (viola) and my brother played the bells for one of her songs. Me and my siblings were everywhere tonight! The 8th grade orchestra performed well and I'm sure the other orchestras did too.

I have to go to 4 combined rehearsals (2 tomorrow, 2 Friday) for the chorus to play my part in Carol of The Magi. I'm only missing orchestra and science but I'd rather not miss either...

If I ever lose my memory, maybe I'll be able to get it back by reading these...
