Mary Ward's Art Show this year, Ec(h)o, was another success. I really wish I had some of my photos to share, but I guess I'll just note all of the highlights and whatnot that I experienced while setting the show up, while the show was going on, and while the show was being taken down.

Before the show began, most of my energy was focused on finishing that storybook in time. At first I had my doubts about finishing it in time, but I'm going to be very upfront and honest - the quest unit incentive really did the deed for me. If it was not for that extra unit, I would not have motivated and pushed my group so much (haha, sorry Iriss & Verno!). Anyway, thanks again, Mrs. Powell & Ms. Largo. :)

Not only was I trying to finish the storybook in time, but I also had my fine arts course to work on too! I was supposed to get in my 'leaf drawings' and my 'Me Tree painting' in, and I am proud to say that I got at least the latter ready for the show. The art show rush drove me mad this year. I don't remember ever being so stressed during Recollect!

Anyway, eventually the stress subsided, and the show began... and I don't know. I didn't feel the same sparkle I felt during last year's show, which is strange because I had more work in this year's show than last year's. I was disappointed that the show did not have as much work as I anticipated. Not to say the quality dwindled - there was a lot of excellent art work displayed during the show, I'm sure the Planet Cafe was very successful, and it was fun to watch people perform on the mini-stage in communications. I was also disappointed that some of my comm tech assignments - the hybrid and the collage - were not displayed because I was looking forward to seeing those up. I was actually very proud of those two pieces.

One regret I have about this year's show would be the fact that I did not get as involved as I was last year. Perhaps that was the reason why I enjoyed it far more less. I don't think I was as enthusiastic about this year's theme compared to Recollect. I recall basically living in the basement during that whole month of April and the beginning of May, and having a dozen security shifts.

I really do wish I enjoyed it more (and I also wish I got my hands on a green eco-friendly Echo shirt), but what can you do? Posted by steph at 8:57 PM | 0 decided to bake me a pie.

Steph loves pie, her friends, procrastinating (she's actually working on that right now), and of course, YOU!

She doesn't really know what she wants to do with her life though.

Regardless, she enjoys activities such as baking, reading, drawing, rambling, eating, daydreaming, spazzing, writing... ...and she despises math.
