No Wall No Ban

http://mymodernmet.com/artists-respond-refugee-ban/

When President Trump signed an executive order banning refugees from around the world, the backlash was swift. Many were horrified that the United States—a country built by immigrants—would turn its back to those seeking refuge from oppression. In response, spontaneous demonstrations erupted at airports throughout the country as people stood up for values that America was founded on. While many channelled their anger, frustration, and sadness into protest signs and chants, others responded through artwork about the refugee ban.

2017 classes

Hi Rhea and Chanko,
I hope you are enjoying new year! Yay! Sorry for the late notice.
We are going to start classes from February. Are you excited? :)

I realized that Sunday evening is not the best time to hang out since you guys sometimes still have homework to finish before Monday. And I have been very busy at work making Coco. :) What is Coco? https://moviepilot.com/posts/3988044

For now, we will meet in this blog and communicate in the blog. I have to emphasize "good communication" again. :) We are going to have a weekly lectures and assignments.

And..... more exciting news! I will have reports send out to you and your parents. So you know where you are in the schedule.

My goal is not to give you tons of work and stress you out. I want you learn joy of art, and art of healing when you work on art.

Also, I want you to learn how to manage your hours and goals. I know you want to learn computer skills and animation. Yes, they are exciting! However, you also need to build your foundation strongly to move forward. Both of you still need to master proportion, line of action and visual story telling. When young children try to learn how to type on keyboard before they learn how to write with pencil in their hands, we all know it is not going to work very well.

I will introduce basic animation and computer skills. Also , I will try to balance foundation and advance skills.

You have to work on assignments on your pace. So please manage your hours and plan accordingly. I will remind you, our plans and goals as we go.

Please feel free to ask any time. Please comment and post as much as possible. ;)

Happy new year! and looking forward to seeing you soon.
Spring session is from Feb- April.
No summer session, enjoy your summer vacation & camps.

Gabi Shull

Gabi's story touched my heart. What is your limit? I hope you overcome your limit and be a winner! One teen has defied all odds as a dancer with a prosthetic leg. When Gabi Shull removes her prosthetic, her leg is backwards. The Missouri native traveled to Houston to perform in a fundraiser for children battling cancer this past summer. Shull took the stage and wowed the crowd and inspired everyone by taking a giant step forward. She has loved to dance from time she was 3 years old. In 2010, an MRI revealed a tumor and she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma a rare form of cancer.

Kids of the world

Feel the fear and do it anyway

Many high school students fail to enter art competitions, as they are daunted about the standard of work required They worry that their artwork would never compare to this and that they have no chance of winning; deciding the competition is not worth their time and effort. If you worry that you are not good enough, it is worth remembering that:

No one needs to know that you have entered. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Everyone else has the same fear as you, so the number of people who enter is surprisingly low – especially for competitions that are less well known (like many of the ones on this list). Of those who do enter, many are ‘whole class’ submissions, where a teacher has required whole class participation. Your serious competitors are far fewer than you think.
Judges sometimes favour unexpected work – it is not always those who produce exceptionally realistic artwork who win. Your creative approach might be just what the judge is looking for.
You may have already produced appropriate work as part of a school project or may be able to tailor an upcoming school project around a competition brief. Digital submissions can also mean it is possible to enter multiple competitions using the same work (check particular rules of each competition to make sure this is allowed), so this can mean that much less time is required to submit an entry.
