Finished product.

Final Project.

I plan on doing an oil pastel painting of a road. The road represents how long or how short it can take for a person to reach change.

Artist Inspiration: René Magritte and Joe Sorren

 

I love how he can take something so strange and make it look completely realistic.

I love how soft all of Joe Sorren's pieces look.

Word(s) of the Day: Taking Risks.

For something to change, you have to be willing to let it change. Risks need to be taken. They not only help you grow, but they help you accept the things you may not want to. If you jump headfirst into something without thinking, you have no other choice than to accept it. I feel that that's what the next few years of my life are going to be like. College is going to change everything, and it's something that I'm looking forward to and something that I'm just going to throw my entire being into. However, that doesn't mean that it's going to be an easy change to accept, I'm just going to have to learn how to adapt.

Word of the Day: Action.

In order for anything to change, you need to take action. People in this world spend all their time blaming other people for the problems occurring in the world. Yet, no one is willing to take any type of responsibility or willing to take action in order to make the changes needed to change the world. We as an entire world need to take that action. It's going to take time, but if we keep going on the way that we are right now, then nothing is ever going to change.

Word of the Day: Fear.

Facing your fears can lead to changes in life that you will be grateful for in the long run. Hiding from every single thing that scares you wont get you anywhere. This however is something that I've always had trouble accepting. I fear things changing, I fear leaving the people and places I love behind, and most of all I fear opening up to someone. This is the one thing in my life that I've struggled most with. Fear has run my life and learning to accept change is helping me gain control again.

Word of the Day: Loss.

'Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.' - Frankenstein

Death is not an easy thing to cope with. It's a change in your life that you just can't seem to accept. You don't want to face the fact that you will never see the person you love again, that you will never see your friend again. But death is something that every one has to deal with, it's an unwelcomed change, but you can't stop it from happening.

"The pain doesn't go away. You just make room for it." - The Walking Dead
