The art project


We have been doing some researches in class to collect enough information about our topic global warming, and how our activities effect the environment. Each one of our group members had to choose one question to answer and we gather the answers and put them in one piece and type it as our project proposal.

Ghost bike

Yesterday we took a trip to watch a piece of art that were located between Union ave and Ten Eyck street. this art was about a person who died of a truck. the painted a bike with white and they covered most of it with flower and roses. they had a picture of the guy i forgot his name taped to a pole above the bike and some candles. the bike was kind of scary and i felt so bad for the people who have been victims for cars and trucks. the ghost art installation is very emotional and have a strong massage to the people to be careful and watch where they go and slowing down can save many lives   

We also have to make our own art. I have not thought of the art I am going to do. I just want to agree with my group about the topic they want to write or make the art  about. my top three choices are drug and alcohol abuse, the Palestinian/ Israeli crisis and homelessness.

My overall thought about the project: I feel confident about this project and i think it's going to be fun because i like art and it's a group project so i won't be there alone standing in the street talking to people about my art.

Reviving my beautiful blog

It has  been long time since that last time I shared with you some of the wonderful thing we have been doing in school. tomorrow we are going to present our creative project. My project is about six poem about the part of me being yemeni and how much I missed my beautiful country. It is the least thing I can do. there was so many options to choose from like painting, cooking, singing, dancing, designing and other creative things that you can come up with. I wanted to do designing but I didn't have materials. I always love designing. one time I made a dress for  barbie doll when I was young. I wanted to make real designing. I hope one day I make the perfect dress that I always dream of. I am going to purchase a sewing machine and start with easy stuff till I get the hand of it. so I am not so excited about presenting my project to anyone. Why can't we do it the way we wanted to do it why do we have to present?
