Art

I loved Fall Break. I got to see all my friends, visit with family, and SLEEP! My favorite part of my weekend is probably really selfish, but it was definately working on my stained glass in Art Club. In my high school, I was in Art Club, where you can go and basically make anything you want. A.C. was at the same time as volleyball, basketball, and softball, so I could never go. I took art classes, but it wasn't the same as A.C. During A.C., I could work on what I wanted for 2 straight hours and not be bothered. I love sitting down and watching my work come to life. I get in a type of zone, where nothing bothers me. I feel like it is my one way to escape what is happening in my life. I've missed that since high school, and I would give anything to be able to do that all the time. Art means the world to me, but as a teacher, I always felt I couldn't make a career out of it. What I really want when I settle down when I get older is an art studio, with eisels and paints and brushes and a potter's wheel and maybe even a kiln (and a lot more!). I've drawn since I've been here, but it doesn't have the same feeling as finishing my first real painting. (It's a painting of a starving boy from Africa). Art opens up a whole new world to me, and I really wish I could just go paint right now! :)
