Hola! My name is Daisy and I grew up in Grand Rapids :) My art skills developed as I doodled small bears when I was younger. Then I started to draw Pokemon characters. I want to learn how to create art from different approaches. This class seems pretty interesting so far.

With a face that could scare a child afraid of Pennywise, she looked down at the table, mimicking sadness. "The cookies... they're...they're all gone."
Behind her was Sophi, trembling, doubting an existing future.
Sophi, with her mouth opened, struggling to sound out words, gulped and said "I...I didn't mean to leave em there. Mm-y, my head was hurting and I had to g-"
"So you left them on purpose?"
"Nnn-o, please don't say anything... please. I'll be transported somewhere else."
"Do you remember the rules? A baker who caters-"
"Saves the waiter"
"A waiter who lets the sweets scurry, must-"
"Leave in a hurr- OH please oh please save me! I'll.... I'll even-"
SLAM. Sophi could not move. She could not cry; the feeling, was just inside. Burning, like the fire she was tossed aside.
I am a wallet. Durable yet exhasted. I travel ocasionally (not really). Being shoved in a backpack, pocket or purse matters. In fact, it hurts! Why do I have to be thrown around, enclosed and sweating. Don't get me started on all the Washingtons i've met. There're all wrinkly and won't stop talking about being all around the world. First its being in a farmers market to then being in a grandma's bank account until her grandson decides to have a birthday party. Pretty specific but hey, that's what I was told. A 100$ told me something similar but something tells me it was lying... a newly printed dollar with the most recent year talking about transactions done before it was alive. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, younger generations.

November 1 - Toying with Money
As one emerges into adulthood, financial independency is necessary. Across my bed sit all the Beanie Baby Bears I have collected over the years. They’ve collected dust various times, for they longer bring the youthful joy I once had. I would save my money to buy them from thrift shops, giving them a place in my home and heart. Essentially, they all grew up to be great actors. Screenwriters should’ve seen what type of drama I was coming up with! Now more than ever, rather than just keep my money saved, I have been able to buy snacks, ones I don’t have to share with my siblings. It also feels nice to occasionally purchase books. Thus, after months, I have accumulated a couple of important and mundane receipts. Why did I keep them? When you start to just put receipts in a closet bag, it somewhat becomes a habit when cleaning up. Recently, I thought about making a collage of receipts to then turn into a cute teddy bear. Rather than toys, money has kept me entertained with its purchases. Oh how adult like!
The entraping coziness of a well knit curtain is well needed during the winter time. Instead of connecting to the outside environment like initially planned, the yarn constructed a habitat within Calder Art: a more private study area. Once dangling, the installation's foundation crumbled. As if a spider put the artwork back up, its newer features became evident. Tanged and hanging no longer by a thread, YARM is the collective work of its group members. Rather than be a continuous rope put on display, a wide range of colored ropes were used to create an array of vertical lines varying in width and height. My peers' craftmenship is phenomenal and our different yarn textures were fitting for a blanket, one that was meant to cover up societal problems.
Installation Artist Research: Ai Weiwei
Exhibition Rapture is pretty cool; the first picture is from it. I like how the design is made without having gaps filled. A dragon like figure emerges from twisted material. The other installations are from the same artist.
