\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Since I was snowed in my house with no Wi-Fi and couldn’t find any of my books I left at home, I made a decision to go through my old school bookbag until I found something interesting.\u00a0 I discovered something precious, my former school English class final project.\u00a0 \u00a0It was an assignment to create my own art scrapbook.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Listen, I know it sounds easy, but the process was actually pretty tedious and took a whole week to finish.\u00a0 \u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Well one reason is because we had to make a book cover out of paper, homemade paper.\u00a0 \u00a0Then, after we made the homemade paper, we had to actually make the art (poems, paintings, dot art and etc.)\u00a0 \u00a0I opted for poetry of course, and there was some art that I did, but I think it’s better if I show you then tell you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Here’s the cover I made out of homemade paper:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"\u00a0<\/p>\n

Its contents are leaves, water, flowers, construction paper scraps and a little bit of cornstarch.\u00a0 \u00a0It took the whole week to dry, and after that it made me mad because the one I made broke, so I had to get someone else’s.\u00a0 I didn’t mind that it was someone else’s but I worked so hard on it.\u00a0 Anyway, it was really thick and kind of hard to pierce through, but we made it work.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Here’s the second page of the book:\u00a0 My Limerick Poem\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As a little chili I was happy\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even though my hair is nappy\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even when I slept in the tub<\/p>\n

I still got belly rubs<\/p>\n

Loves how this sound wacky<\/p>\n

I tried as far as my brain would let me for a grade.\u00a0 \u00a0My teacher loved it, so that’s what matters, also I can see how my work has evolved.\u00a0 \u00a0There was also an explanation card to go with it, and the one for this poem stated:\u00a0<\/p>\n

This Limerick poem is a funny rhyme about a cute baby who slept in tubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That’s all.\u00a0 \u00a0That one sentence, says it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fourth page is my Ode to Horror Movies<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ode to Horror Movies\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The night sky is the right time\u00a0<\/p>\n

To scream out of your mind\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s scary to watch a crime\u00a0<\/p>\n

A look through twisted mankind\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crazy how people have the brain to write\u00a0<\/p>\n

The things that makes us faint<\/p>\n

Some teens can contain the frightening\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even when unreal you still shiver at the sight\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each script is artfully quaint<\/p>\n

All posters make it more enlightening\u00a0<\/p>\n

You know, when I wrote this, I really thought I ate, but now I’m slightly wincing.\u00a0 \u00a0I like it for my first attempt at an Ode, but I will most likely revise this entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This one also has an explanation card, it reads:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

My Ode poem is catchy as it talks about my fascination with horror movies. They’re frightening and enlightening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boom Chaka La, chef’s kiss.\u00a0 Kidding, Kidding, I tried.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next one is my dot art for my friend Kenia, she really did not like how it turned out, but in my defense I tried.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s safe to say that this did not turn out how I wanted it to, at all, but I gave it my best shot.\u00a0 I had to get an actual picture of her, use that picture to AI generate an anime version of it, then color it in with dots.\u00a0 \u00a0This frustrated me so badly, but I really did not want to do the alternative portrait, so I tried this.\u00a0 \u00a0If you’re patient it would be fun, if you’re like me and don’t really like doing something that takes time, then think really long and hard about doing this.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The explanation card that goes with this read:\u00a0<\/p>\n

My dot portrait is Kenia.\u00a0 Kenia is a really close friend who handed my years of friendship.\u00a0 She’s goofy and sarcastic and really wanted me to do my dot picture on her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yes, I actually said that.\u00a0 \u00a0She was cool with it, but she regretted her decision immensely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lastly, the final page was my first abstract art.\u00a0 \u00a0I loved it, it really calmed me to take the time to paint and reflect.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There’s nothing specific for this, but I tried to make an emotional ocean sunrise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A better explanation would be what the card reads, and it reads:\u00a0<\/p>\n

In my abstract I have purple and yellow rain.\u00a0 \u00a0Purple means calm, passion, and elegance.\u00a0 Yellow means peace and happiness.\u00a0 The rain goes down into the rushing waves of my indecisiveness.\u00a0 On the waves is a box which is unleashing my dark and light sparkly imagination.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sounds so beautiful each time I read it, I really put my heart into this.\u00a0 \u00a0At least I think I did.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s that, it was a creative final grade.\u00a0 I made a hundred on it and it was kind of fun to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also, here’s what the explanation cards looked like.\u00a0<\/p>\n
