Family

MY DAD LIKES TO FISH A LOT, SO I HAVE HIM FISHING IN THE BACK YARD(ITS NOT REAL, IT LOOKS LIKE IT), SHOWING OFF HIS FISH, GARDENING, AND WORKING ON A HOUSE.
MY BROTHER PLAYING HIS GUITAR, READING, AND ACTING LIKE A KID(CLIMBING IN THE TREE.

MY MOM READING AND SEWING.


MY DAUGHTER (LAURA) LOOKING AT HER BOOKS AND GOOFING AROUND



MY DAUGHTER EATING.


MY SON (LANGDON) SITTING IN HIS STROLLER, PLAYING, AND ON THE BOOB.


This is what I was thinking for my final: taking pictures of my family and what they do throughout the week or what they like doing in their spare time. I couldn't take photos of my other brother because he lives in Paris. I also can't take photos of my sister and my other older siblings because they also live in different areas.





Affordable Art Fair

I would really love to go to New York to see all of the fascinating Art Fairs and Galleries. I will some day. I know i will.
The Affordable Art Fair — dedicated to works priced from $100 — begins today. Stop by to browse, learn (the Aperture Gallery hosts a talk about contemporary portraiture) or party. There’s an evening reception tonight and then a cheaper afterparty with dancing and video installations at Pier 66 (next to the Frying Pan). And if you buy, follow the framing tips that Helen Allen, an organizer of the event, employs, like using simple colored binder clips, patterned tape from Droog or a frame made from wainscoting salvaged from post-Katrina New Orleans.

Here is another show that I found. It seems very interesting
Martin Kippenberger's "Spiderman-Atelier (Spiderman Studio)" at the Museum of Modern Art.
Have a hard time dealing with the tourists who crowd museums on weekends? Tonight is your chance to see — and hear — art with the locals. MoMA’s galleries are open until 8:45 p.m. (the Martin Kippenberger retrospective, which Holland Cotter called “complex, theatrical, and new-feeling art,” closes in a week), there’s a screening and discussion of the avant-garde director Péter Forgács’s work, and music courtesy of the arty experimentalist Prefuse 73. In honor of bike month, riders get half-off admission.

This might be interesting to you, Vaughn.

Swedish one man band

I thought this was interesting because i like percussion music, since my brother is in a band and he plays the drums.
The Swedish one-man band known as Loney Dear creates “pop crescendos of dizzying ingenuity,” writes Jon Pareles, building on exquisite melodies by “whistling, harmonizing, stepping up the percussion, simulating horn and string sections, making synthesizers pulsate and flutter all around.” His new album, “Dear John,” is sad, but Beach Boys sad. He performs Tuesday night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg with local singer-songwriter Lia Ices.

What is art for?

Well, for me art is for showing students how to express themselves through what they are feeling that day or throughout the week. I am wanting to be an art teacher to help students with their art career and make a difference in their lives. Art is much more than just painting, or taking a photo; it's helping people to learn the outside world and within yourself.
