Commercials, Concerts, NYC, and Three Finished Projects.

Temple University has started a new program to publicize the importance that Temple has had on Philadelphia, and the ways that it is using all that Philadelphia has to offer to their students.

All week, they have been filming for new commercials that are to be used for Temple publicity.

On Wednesday night, I went along with friends from the hall and my RA, Mike, 

to the Tyler School of Art, where they projected an image on the outside of the building and used us in the background. Once I get a hold of the commercial when its done, 

I will be sure to share it with all of you! 

These pictures, are what the Temple Made campaign is!

They use a projector to project images onto buildings. They did this all throughout Philadelphia.

On Friday night, my good friend Laura had her first Symphony Orchestra Concert. This Symphony Orchestra is a Temple Student Orchestra, from freshman to graduate students.  Laura plays viola, and made 5th chair. 

And before Laura's concert, our RA's planned an event in the hall. Hallway Twister!!

My one RA Maddie, is standing on the right, and the other 

RA, Mike, is sitting all the way in the top left corner. 

On Saturday for Art History, we went on a trip to NYC to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was really cool to see things that you've been studying for weeks. 

After my professor walked us around, we were all allowed free time until the bus left at 4. 

I was so glad about this, because I was able to see Maya and Baasil!!! 

It was so good to see them. Someone from home. Maya goes to NYU, and Baasil, Stonybrook, so they both took the train up to the Met and we went out to lunch. It was really nice to see them.

While in NY, we walked pass the LOVE statue. 

I took this picture to prove to Philadelphia that NY does it better. 

When I got back to Temple University, Laura, Katy, Ethan, and I went out to dinner with Hannah to celebrate her birthday. We went to La Fourno Italian Restaurant on South Street. It was a really cute italian restaurant with great food.

This past week/weekend was very busy. 

Today, Monday October 1st, and tomorrow, Tuesday October 2nd, are when all of my first big projects for my three foundation classes were due. 

In 2D, we had to create a crazy quilt using line, value, and texture. It was to be 22" x 30". You had to incorporate everything we learned about line, value, and texture, into this quilt to create a cohesive composition. This is what my final project came out to be. 

I enjoyed this project and am pleased with the result. 

I used sharpie, charcoal, pencil, white out, and india ink.

For Drawing, we had to take a small object and make it bigger. 

"Objectify" was the name of the assignment.

I chose to objectify a clamp wrench.. I think that's what it's called. 

I am pleased with the bottom half of the assignment and the structure of the wrench itself. 

I hate hate hate to top right corner. Its just gross, and not what I am proud of. 

Anyways, this is the final product. Maybe you will enjoy it!

I created this using pencil. 

Finally, I finished my 3D project. My own kite is done and complete!! 

I am now a pro at the sewing machine, especially if you need a kite built!

Here are some pictures of my kite! 

I LOVE it. 

(please excuse my awkward facial expressions!)

Hope you enjoyed a very busy week! 

I'll talk to you guys soon!
