~~ Creative Practice ~~

  **************                 Hello Again!              **************   10-30- 2022          I hope everyone had a good week. This week was only stressful. Between presentations and midterms, I am happy I survived it. I did my creative practice project in a weird order this week. I did the drawing, then I did the painting and the outlining in one step. With everything as crazy as it was, I am happy I was able to complete it. Regardless, it was a great help this week. I was not able to devote a lot of time too it, but I am happy with the effects.           I am also growing my knowledge on all these herbs and plants. I am so excited I started this project and I am sad there are only a few weeks more. I hope maybe to do some cool ones for the last few. We will see. This week I chose to do pine.  ***********************    ...

  **************                 Hello Again!              **************   10-23- 2022          I hope everyone had a great week. This week was nothing shy of normal, which I am happy to have had. Now that everything crazy is over, its nice to have one normal week. That being said, I was interested to see how my creative practice project was going to impact me this week. It helped me get through the insanity of last week so I was interested to see how it helped on a normal week. This week I decided to paint chamomile.          Also, I really am enjoying painting and drawing. I am enjoying it so much that I am going to continue this portion for the rest of the project. I have found a love for making progress on this project and I feel that I will not love photography as much. I am excited to keep painting and drawing regularly! I wouldn't be doing t...

  **************                 Hello Again!              **************   10-16- 2022          I hope everyone had a great week. This week was my first normal week back in a while. This placed a lot of stress on my shoulders more rapidly than I was prepared for. None-the-less, this project really helped me out this week. I was able to put it on pause and just paint. It was something I needed to get through this week. I am hopeful because the next couple of weeks are not going to be easy either. If it was able to help me as much as it did this week, I am hopeful for the weeks to come. This week I decided to paint and learn about lavender.  ***********************                           Monday                    ***********************   ...

  **************                 Hello Again!              **************   10-09- 2022          I hope everyone has had a wonderful week this week. This week was also another crazy one. My cousin got married in Helen, GA this past week and I was fortunate enough to get excused from classes and attend as a member of the bridal party. This meant the week was crazy with activities, planning, and the ceremony. Along with this meant a lot of mingling and meeting people. It was an insane week.            However, this week I was finally able to experience that feeling of bliss while working on this project. I took time throughout the week to do some sketching or painting progress on my herb project. While it was weird I had a portable watercolor set and brushes, I didn't mind. With all the stress going on, it was a wonderful experience to just ...

  **************                 Hello Again!              **************   10-03- 2022          I hope that with everything that has happened over the last week that everyone is safe and secure. For those who don't know, this past week, Florida was hit by hurricane Ian. While Gainesville did not get the blunt of the storm, many areas in Central Florida were flooded and damaged by the storm. I went home to be with my family which also just so happened to be directly in the path of the storm. Thankfully, everyone was safe and my community remained mostly unharmed but there were a lot of surrounding areas that were impacted.          With this unpredictable weather came a change in class schedule and in my medium for this project. School was canceled for the end of the week, giving me ample time to figure out exactly what I wanted to accomplish. I dec...
