“Are you happy?” is a question that is asked in Ray Bradbury’s book Fahrenheit 451, a question that we disregard. This question changed one mans perspective in the book entirely, it changed how he view society as a whole. How do you see your society? Is it good or is it bad? Do you feel as though you are happy in this society? Maybe we are slowly turning into a dystopian society. Becoming dependent on technology and out casting thing like books. Limiting what it is we can and can’t do, even rewriting history. As strange as it is, our world is beginning to mirror several aspects of a distant Dystopian society of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. Are we progressing to that type of world?

Creativity and art have been a significant parts of my life for as long as I can remember. When I was little and we visited my Grandma Carol in the summers, my favorite thing to do with her was make art. She taught me about so many different media, such as: acrylics, oil pastels, and the ink press. Sometimes, I would bring my sketchbook from home and she would help me set up art shows around her house. I would sell my art for a few dollars each, and then use the little bit of money I earned to buy more art supplies. As she introduced me to more artistic styles and mediums in the

Are You as Happy as You Seem? Joshua W. Shenk had an article issued in June of 2009 called “What Makes Us Happy?” Shenk gives an efficient argument for the reasons a person can be happy with their life.

When I draw, I tend to work over the whole page by moving around with a wondering line. I work over my lines to refine and tighten the forms. I have taken drawing classes through JMU’s Theatre and Art schools as well as outside of the university. I have a strong, intuitive understanding of form, which has made me very comfortable designing in stagings that are intended to be viewed from more than one side—most often in three-quarter round.

When I approached this statement I pondered for quite a bit. It was a bit depressing. Happiness should be exactly what it says being happy. For me, there was a period that happiness did not exist and when I reflect about this period its becomes overwhelming. This chapter in my life was dark and didn’t think that I could ever truly be happy again. With that being said, happiness to me is peace of mind,

Whether an artist sits at a work desk or steps up to an easel, they all have a common goal; to create a message. Some express their message through visual mediums and others through text. Each type has its pros and cons but certain messages are more accurately represented by a specific medium.

I must assure you that I am a very happy woman. I am successful at my profession, I am, or in the process of getting to a higher level of education, and I am very confidant.

We have been using a new program, the Cursive Logic Workbook by Cursive Logic, to teach my 3rd grader to write cursive. Today, my review is going to cover how we have used the book, and our thoughts on the method of learning. This book teaches cursive in a new way; instead of going alphabetically and learning one letter at a time, the student learns groups of letters that are similar so the process goes much faster.

Franz Kline’s mark-making started with pen and ink drawings. Originally he would sectch people and cartoons with his pens but after falling in love with line he moved on from it.

Right now, I feel as if I have learned a great deal from the obstacles I had faced, and I have matured more and more by the lessons I have gained from them. Having found which path I am to take in my future life, I am perfectly content with my situation in life at this instance, and nothing could make me happier.

No, not necessarily. It means that if you are willing to practice and to make mistakes, you will very soon be drawing far better than just about anyone you know, and your friends and family and teachers will be amazed.

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the

Response: I want people to notice how the characters are written. I don’t really use regular pencils but I did because in the future I might not have these awesome amazing mechanical pencils. It turned out pretty decent and I want to improve my characters even more.

As a photography major, it was never clear to me on why I had to take a drawing class. I dreaded each class because of the known fact that I didn’t possess the skills to be a good drawer. When speaking to friends and family, I would always complain to them saying, “I’m going to fail this class. I have no idea why I have to take these drawing classes.” As the quarter went on and the more I learned about the different drawing techniques such as the use of lighting to create interesting shadows or the use of color to create a sense mood and emotion, I began to realize the parallels that drawing and photography have.
