Bonus Blog

Joke from Traditions told by one of my favorite seniors: "Two psychiatrists were walking down the street. One turns to the other and says, 'You're ok. How am I? ' "

Hope you get it.

The Golden Hour

So, as we previously mentioned, we’ve finally finished the mural -- a bittersweet ending. We won’t lie, it was not an easy project. It feels like we’ve spent a majority of our summer vacation at the school. We’ve had to spend a lot of money. We’ve been really tired. We’ve had to plan a lot (something that is definitely not our strong suit). On our final day, we started working at 1:00 and stayed until 12:30 in the morning trying to finish. And we haven’t even cleaned up yet, which will be a process in and of itself. But it’s there, isn’t it? It stands tall, it doesn’t look half bad, and we’ve had a real adventure doing it. We learned how to brew tea in the English office. We finally had our picnic. We tried to watch the sunset a bunch of times and just happened to miss it each time. We saw KR. We met Gustav. We even bumped into Ryan and his dog Luther on our last day. And when we finished yesterday, it really didn’t feel like the end. This process - going to an empty school, painting ...

The Finish Line

🎉WE FINALLY FINISHED THE MURAL!!! 🎉 After months of work, we have finally crossed the finish line. While we'll definitely write another blog about this - one with all the gory details, "deep" thoughts, and reminiscing about the past, present, and future - for now, we thought we could just show you the whole mural-creation process, from the very beginning to the very end, through photos.  Disclaimer: Amelia is obviously heavily featured in the photos while Yana is no where to be found, but it's ok because by now that's the norm and, to quote Amelia, "the camera is Yana's and therefore I cannot take as many pictures." First thoughts: The sketch: The write-up: Being selected: Re-drawing the sketch with the correct proportions to the wall: Gridding the sketch: Gridding the wall: Drawing out the sketch on the wall: Figuring out budget for supplies: Buying supplies: First attempt at...

The Gallery

Hello again, We have another mural update. JK, there’s really nothing left to say about the mural, so now we’re going to talk about all the other random (but mostly art-related) things happening in our lives. For example, this summer we became members at our town’s art gallery (theW Gallery in Wayland, check it out!), or, more specifically, we became chairs on the gallery board and are now in charge of running the student program/curating the student exhibit of the gallery. We were pretty psyched about doing this, but (obviously) we ran into some issues at first: Even though we’ve been working with with the gallery over the summer, because their entire board had to agree on how the “student exhibit” of the gallery would run, we finalized the whole curating process pretty recently. As a result, we couldn’t get as many pieces as we wanted to from other art students at our school. We only had about 12 pieces to hang up on Friday, but hopefully we'll get more in the couple of week...
