Michelangelo and Porky the PIg.





It's been a terribly long time since I've blogged and the only thing I can blame my absence on is this little thing called SCHOOL. boo.
Well, yesterday happened to be my birthday (: Very uneventful. I am now counting down the days until I will be considered an adult in this world.
I have to say I am not by any means artistic but I love studying art and I did paint a pottery piece just for fun the other day.


This piece is Michelangelo's Pieta. Pieta in English means pain. This was Michelangelo's first sculpture he had ever done and I think the message is so powerful. The drapery is so beautiful and the emotion caught here is so strong. The piece on the right his Michelangelo's Last Pieta. He started carving it 6 days before he died. It's so fascinating because it is unfinished there can be so many ways to interpret this piece.

















Here's my little porky!! :D I made him on saturday at the painted zebra. 











Last but not least.. Tuesday we had to film a video for spanish class. And Phootobooth is REALLY fun :P
