Last week I presented my Artist Movement group presentation on abstract expressionism. I also watched other presentations and did their activities.

Altered Books 1- Purpose
My inspiration for this project is nature and growth. I am inspired by nature because it is all around us, and I think it is important to value its beauty. In the poem by Christy Ann Martine, she says “it’s not enough to notice the beautiful flowers,..remember what it is to grow”. This quote is […]

When he discovered that tortoises from different islands had a different kind of shell, and that finches from different islands had a different type of beak depending on what […]
Tuesday October 12th 2021
