Okay so I just went to my cousin's art show at Wheaton College in Wheaton of course, and it was awesome. She had a trip to Uganda a little bit ago and some orphan kids drew her some pictures. They were really cute and she was instantly inspired by them. So she sort of replicated them on to blocks of wood to be like stamps. Then she found used cloths that are like sheets and died them different colors. She mixed paint or ink or whatever and used the blocks of wood to stamp on images to the canvases. It was honestly so cool she is one of the most art talented people I know, I think she might be more talented than Mr Deines. I know what you're thinking, wow this girl must be good. She's graduating in December and gets to work in Sweden!! I am jealous!! Her last name is Jaderholm, and in case you didn't know that is a very Swedish last name. She has made everything art related from paintings to drawings to clay work; she does it all. I hope I can see some of her art projects again soon because I LOVE going to see art. I really enjoy it and some people say that The Art Institute of Chicago is boring and what not but I find it super cool. It's pretty awesome some of the things that people can make and I enjoy having them shared with me. Bottom line: appreciate the art around you because it truly is beautiful.
