I'm back! LOL! Today was the last day of my art semester. I still can't believe we stuffed everything into one week! O_o! But anyways! It was super fun! I got to learn alot of cool things about photography, and also made alot of friends! Ok! I'll tell you guys what I've been through!




Day #1(Monday, July, 18) - I got to introduce myself to the group I was in and also the teachers! And we moved on into a studio, and did a little overview on what we were going to do for the week. After that we went on a field trip to an art museum! We all went on this tour with this old, but upbeat lady (tehe!). She showed us (BORING) pictures of presidents, and the civil war (BLAH!). The we finally got out of that part, and looked at statues, abstract art and some pretty cool photographs! Then we moved the cultural room, with art from Rome, India, Nepal and Japan. It was pretty cool! Then we were on to the Abstract room, where there was like this HUGE thing-a-ma-jig with sparkles, paint dabs on cardboard pieces. I think the majority of the people in the group thought it was kinda BLAH! But I thought it was pretty cool! I wish I had a photo of it. Then we moved on to this NOTHING room where guest made their little projects and hang them up. To me it looked pretty stupid. I mean me and my friend were like "Huh?! What is this crap?!" LOL! Of course I was not rude and did not say anything out loud. Then we got together an did those same little projects the guests did, but I did not do any. After that, it was outside to have a snack! LOL! Me, my group and the group leader chatted about silly things all the way until the bus came back to pick us up. I kinda chatted with my new friend on the way back to the studio, and we traded silly pictures we drew and stuff! When we got back we worked on sketching famous paintings, then went outside to sketch plants. I sort of forgot what we did after that, but I think we went outside to take a group picture with a tripod. It was fun, 'cause we sorta had to move around alot before we could really get a good picture. LOL! And I think lunch was after that, then it was back HOME!




Day #2(Tuesday, July, 19)- Hmm. I kinda forget what happened that day. I think one of our teachers did these little slides for us and gave us a little history on how photography began and how it is now. Then we came to this old photo of a red tricycle, and the teacher told us to sketch it and keep the photo in mind. Then we had another field trip. This time it was to the music resource center (or the MRC if you like it!)! But this time, they made us WALK! Everybody was like "HUH?! WALKING?! NOOOO WAAAAY!" LOL! It wasn't hard, we only had to walk afew blocks. When I thought about the MRC I was like "YAY! Music!", but as I was walking I thought "Wait! What's going down here?! Are they going to make me sing?!". So when we got there I was a little nervous, because I CAN'T SING!!! So we went into the building, said hello to the guy who was going to host us, followed him up some stairs, and there was like this HUGE room with a HUGE ORGAN and the end of it, and then there was a table with a little laptop on it! Then the guy that was hosting us did a little overview on what we there for. He said we were sopost to compose a song for that photo with the Red Tricycle!!! He helped us mix some tunes together, and we picked some pretty cool instruments! Then we sat there for like 10 minutes thinking up really silly stories and lyrics. Some of the kids in the group came up with these RIDICULOUS stories. I was laughing my head off!!! Some of it even made the host laugh! LOL! Then we had a snack, and started working on lyrics. After that, it was time to leave. So we walked ALLLLL the way back to the studio in the HOT SUN!!! Walking back was a little easier though. When we got back to the studio I think we worked on sunprints and pinholes. Both were fun! Me and my friend took pictures of each other in funny poses! LOL! Then we got a chance to get them developed! That part was very cool! Then we had lunch, played silly games then it was back HOME AGAIN!!





Day #3(Wednesday, July, 20)- A local photographer (I forget his name) showed us his works that day. Some of it was really cool! Then it was yet ANOTHER walking field trip in the HOT SUN!!! This time we were on a photo-shoot! We each got our own cameras and pick a color to be our photos muse. I picked orange! LOL! Before we went on our photo-shoot, we went to a studio, to go see the local photographer's slides again. We had to explain what we liked and didn't like about one of his works that we picked out. After that we went onto the photo-shoot! It was really fun! We went to a downtown mall, went into some neat shops and took some cool pics! And I chatted with our group leader alot. She's fun to talk to! Then we went back to the gallery to thank the photographer, and then BACK INTO THE HOT SUN!!! Once we got back to the studio, we set our film up to be sent out and developed! Then we did some sunprints, and more pinholes. I did a pinhole of a really cool and huge rock outside! LOL! Then it was lunch, game time! Then home.




Day #4(Thursday, July, 21)- Back to the MRC!!! That day was even hotter the the last one! O_o! At least we played games to forget about the heat (somewhat). So we all walked up stairs and worked on the last bits for our song. My friend had the verses and another girl the the chorus. Nobody wanted to step up to the microphone but me and my friend! LOL. So my friend sang the verses. I was really nervous and did not want to sing, but lucky my throat was sore and I couldn't sing! But then everybody came up with another idea! They said I should make my part a speech! So everything came out weird, but also cool! Everybody liked the results too (I was very surprised)! Then for the very end one of my other friends came in with her saxophone! It was pretty cool! When we got back to the studio, when started looking at our photos from our photo-shoot! I like the way some of mine came out! After that, when went to go make positives out of our negative pinholes! It was cool! We got to work in the dark-room for a while. Then lunch, chatted a bit, then went home.




Day #5(Friday, July, 22)- The final day! Tehe! Which was today! I got to show everybody my newspaper article today! YAY! Everybody loved it! Another local photographer came in the studio today. Then he showed us how to make plastic molds. Then we split into groups and made molds of our body parts. Me and another girl had to put this plastic like material on these two boys foot, and hand! It was kinda gross at first, but it got kinda fun! Then it was group picture time again! It was so funny 'cause this time EVERYBODY squeezed into the picture! LOL! It was so funny! But also uncomfortable because we were all sitting on a huge rock! Then we kinda played outside. Then went back inside to finish our final project for an exhibit! Mine is digital. I worked on most of it at home yesterday then got on the laptop in the studio to finish it. I used my photo from the photo-shoot we had and my sunprint! When it was done every body was like "WOW!!!!! ZENZI!!!!" LOL! They really liked it they were all like "Go see what Zenzi did!!!!" (and thats all thanks to my KOOL Photo Shop skills!) I was so shy!!! And after that we cleared out our cubby holes, and gather all our stuff to leave (~tears~). And then I said good bye to all my friends and teachers (it was kinda sad). SO there you have it! I had loads of fun in that semester! The good thing is that I get to go see my image up in the museum soon! YAY! Ok, below are some photos on my photo-shoot afew days ago! Enjoy!

Hello all! Sorry I was gone! I was not feeling well lately. You know those days where you feel low spirited? Thats how I was feeling. Nothing really interesting has been going on lately in my life, besides me working on character designs for "Adrenalin Rush".

The story is about a group of young teens who love to ride Xenon boards (high-tec like skate-boards), and compete in races and stuff like that. I know it sounds choppy but I'm still working on it. The main character is a 15 year old boy. At first, the main character was going to be a girl, but something happened one day!

Ok, let me tell you, I was at the mall one day and I spotted this cute guy! He had a cap on, and his hair was slightly curly, and dark brown. And just when I was about to flirt (with my super cute smile, that makes guys smile back in an instant!) I saw his girlfriend! They were like chatting in the cafe. And then I got a little sad. So then I went to go grab something to eat. And sat outside to eat, then I saw him again! Him and his girlfriend were like holding hands. I was really mad (don't ask me why! LOL). And I kept staring at them until they were out of my eyes reach. Then I got home, to work on my story. When I tried to make then main character (the girl) I noticed that I kept messing up! So then I gave up. But then that guys face came into my head again! So I decided to make a boy (that looks like that guy in the mall) the hero of my story.

The design came out better than I thought too! (Don't worry I'll get to my scanner VERY SOON!!!) The story is kinda based on a teenager's daily (but also CRAZY) life in a Si-Fi world. The story is kinda like a little kids version of my other video-game concept called "Tiyomon" which I know will kick ASS in the future! LOL! Anywayz I'll be doing an art semester in college soon, and my newspaper article will be coming out on the 21st of this month!!! YAY!!! Anywayz, Peace Out 4 now!!! *I'm waiting 4 my new mangas to come in the mail*

Summer Fun!!!

Yes I'm back again! Sorry I was gone! I was on a non-stop MP3 downloading spree! LOL! Sigh, I'm borrowing my little sisters adapter (that thing that makes you're speakers work) 'cause mine BLEW UP! So I can't keep it for long, or she'll start yelling at me (LOL). Anywayz! My site won 2 Awards from d-e.angelic-twinkles.net and icekiss.shadeddarkness.net! Thank You!!! Tehe! Well besides that I've been doing character designs for my new story called "Galaxy Traveler Kyo". When I'm not bouncing so much, around I'll get to my scanner and scan my latest designs! Heres a little overveiw of the story
Every 20 years, a Galaxy Traveler is born. They travel through the galaxies of Cantala, and restore each worlds properties. This century's Galaxy Traveler is beyond extraordinary. Goes by the name Kyo, not much is known about him, he is a young skilled archaeologist, guns and swords-man, and artist. He travels around, even faster then the past Travelers, gathering infomation of lost, ancient worlds and re-storing their neutral powers. Unlike the past Travelers, Kyo is on a quest of his own. If you see a mysterious sign on a tree, you will know that he was there. If you hear a jingley sound of pure silver bells, you'll know that he's here.
So how do you like it?! I have to work on it some. When it's done, I know it'll be something everybody will like! Anywayz! It's kinda late so bye bye for now guys!

Mo matter how hard something is theres always light at the end

Okays! I'm back! Well, um......Jeez! I don't know what to write about! LOL! Well don't you guys hate it when you can find what you're looking for?! Thats what I'm going through right now. Every day it gets harder and harder to find MP3s. I can't find any Jpop MP3s! Why can't there just be one site on the net that has everything I'm looking for?! Jeez! Well besides that! I'm getting ready to go take art classes a UVA (University of Virginia) soon! I hope I do well! And I'm taking the rest of my swim classes next week! Well thats it for today.

WOW! It took like 2 days to get this figured out! I tried to do a really pretty tables design for my blog, but angelfire's stupid banners were in the way! So I had to code a whole different layout! Anywayz it looks very pretty right? Tehe! (yawns) I'm tired now. I had enough coding for a while. So overall this is a Blog focusing on me and my artworks. And right now things are not looking so good, but I get back to things later. Ja Mah Te Ne!
