Artistically Creative!
In school, it was pretty much the same subjects but then there was a new art subject going on with something called Arts Umbrella. It’s an place in Vancouver that teaches art and anyone can go from 3 years old and up. The teacher came to our school to do a project about it by using a site called Glocal and we used a weird small looking camera and went on this Glocal site then took pictures like the one above. (It currently is my favourite one). Its an image on some lights on the computer I was working on. Anyways, we took thousands of picture Josh said (Josh is the teacher from Arts Umbrella and he got a volenteer to come with him named Franziska). We were doing it for about a week and then about 1 or 2 days from now, we will setup our art on a big piece of separate paper, glue on the pictures we took and stick it on and bring it to the Isfeld high school and display it there! Well, I got my title pretty much from my Glocal image, I thinks its very awesome and reminds me of stars somehow, green stars in the dark night sky.
I think this was a great experience for me and everyone in my class and was fun for me. I thanks Josh and Franziska for coming here and helping us with this wonderful class.

Hi Austin
Great picture! It reminds me of green stars in the dark aswell, it is really creative! I think Arts Umbrella was a great idea and a great experience too! I am really sad that it is over though, but overall it was so fun, I wish we could do that all the time! But now that it is over I can work on it more because I have learned so much, I couldn’t have done anything like this and have such a fun learning experience without Arts Umbrella!
Cool picture Austin! And I’ll comment again soon!

Hi Austin,
I really like your images. Josh told me about the work he did with your class and I think it’s really great. Thanks for telling me a little bit about what you thought of the workshop in your post too!
Keep up the good work. Cheers, Jessica
