Fresh air with a hint of gas

Wind flowing through leaves

Tree feels rough and dry

Green leaves are more sturdy and healthy

Orange are week and dry

Cement is smooth but scratchy

Ground is a mixture but is damp and soft with some rough spots

Squirrel running around

Bark taste like firm card bored

Rocks falling

Leeds taste earthy and not easy to swallow

Rocks are grainy and tough

Empty

Peaceful

Raw but tampered

My theme was love. I wanted to highlight the use and meaning behind the vest in my performances. In my first performance I used two trees to show two unconnected beings, with the vests being a bond through a community. My second performance was using the vest to create a heart. The heart obviously signifies love, but the vest show a group of people with similar views coming together. My overall theme was to show the bond between the vest and the love it signifies.

Everyone has their own life experiences, some good some bad. Slowly as time passed the demons will appear and attempt to take over the mind. This boy has been fighting his demons but they always pop back up. He could no longer hold them back and has accepted them into his head.

The group that I was involved with chose the “Millerpillers”. We created a panoramic photo using the pillars and our body’s in-between. We created a map using different objects to stand as the pillars and paper cut outs as our body’s.

Over the past couple days I’ve been exploring the rules of Alfred University. College is seen as a lot of people’s first taste of freedom. You become responsible for yourself and feel like an adult. As time has passed I don’t feel this anymore, It’s more of a big kid summer camp. With different signs everywhere telling you what you can’t do, what you can eat and where you can go. Though I do feel more free then from home these rules make me more curious to challenge these rules. Maybe that’s exactly what the school wants, to create young innovative people who aren’t afraid to challenge the norm.

The past few days in foundations I was apart of the creation of a map of Alfred University. Students created different landmarks using different mediums to express themselves. Me an my partner used an old box for a close by building, some walls and to create a miniature parking lot. We later as a class had to fill in the blank spots. Me and a few students where tracing our body’s and and drawing other crazy lines to fill in space. Even though it looks scattered and crazy it was also a beautiful way to see the school from the other students perspective.
