Revised Crossing the Line Story

Seventeen can be a difficult time in a young person’s life. The urge for a teen to do what they want and not really care about their parent’s consent can take on a life of its own.  Most teens are okay with their parent’s control or rules, as long as it does not interfere with what the teen wants to do.

            I was no different than any other teen. I usually was obedient and didn’t cause too many problems, however I had a new boyfriend in my life.  Now I was starting to do things that would be crossing the line…               

            I was only 17 and still in high school when, my boyfriend who was in college wanted me to go camping over night with some other friends. I wanted to go but knew my parents would disapprove. I decided rather than listening and obeying my parent’s rules I would sneak behind their backs and go camping with my boyfriend and friends. I asked my friend to cover up for me and claim that I would be staying the night at her house, so that my parents would let me go! After I had left to go camping my parents called her house asking to speak to me! Of course I wasn’t there and she  had to tell the truth! They were so furious with the both of us, but since she had no clue of the where about’s of my camping site my parents couldn’t do anything but wait until my arrival the next day. I thought my parents would be at church in the morning and I planned on going home when they were gone, but to my unfortunate surprise I found my parents waiting there for me! 

"Oh my gosh, oh my goodness, oh no, their not suppose to be home!" I yelled out of my lips! They were extremely furious with my disobedience, bad judgment, and my total lack of character that they grounded me and I was faced to deal with the humiliation and consequences of my actions and because my boyfriend was so humiliated as well he broke up with me a week later! I thought twice before I ever crossed the line again!

Idea for mapping project

My idea for my mapping project is a Tree map of my life. I think family is most importaint in my life. Photograhy is also very importaint . I thought I could do a large tree and have the trunk of the tree covered with pitchers of anstors  for oldest to present then the leaves would be photos of my life from birth to present.

mapping life

A. I lived in a lot of places my Dad was in the Air Force.We lived Washington State, France, Virgina, California, Ill, and Texas.One thing about moving a lot your family is your main unit in your life, because of always going to were no one knows you.     B. Signifect reletionships in each location. I always made friends then we would move away so I would say  always my must importaint  relationships would be my family. My family was very spritual my mother always made sure we were at church no matter what . My relatinships didnt really change from location to location .Other then having to all ways having to make new friends . My relationships changed the must as I aged. Mostly with my Mother because I started to see her personal flaws more as I aged. I came College Station Texas When I Was 19. Got married at 21 and had 6 childern in 10 years . Then 8 years later had one more. That made a total of 7 happy little babies. ( not always) I homed schooled them for the past 20 years.I feel liked they loved being home together when they were young , now they are very close. So I feel like home schooling worked out well for them. I guess I have to say the theam of the life is family.                                                                                                                       

Team building human dots.

We did our human dots. It was pretty fun .We decided on what we wanted to do pretty easily . I brought the camera, tripod, and white paper, the others got the paint and made the circles. Once we got the circles made and got the paint on it went pretty fast. I feel like we did such a good job and we really didnt have any problems. At the crit Every one in the class seemed to really like them. Kathy also said she liked them .

modular madness critique

We had our critique yesterday .It was kind of a fun day I really enjoyed seeing the projects every one did. It was amazing to see some of the ideas people came up with.Lucky for me my critique was in the middle of class, I would not have wanted to be first! I was a little nervous but it was not to painful. It seemed that most of the class liked my hanger structure . some of the comments I had were- good use of a household item, liked the topper, liked the form and what I did with the hangers, liked how I had some hanger hanging, should have put a spot light on it and some glue was showing. The glue was a problem for me because it took a lot of glue to get get the hangers to stay in place.I tryed to clean it up but it didnt work so well. If I ever did something like this again I would look for something differnt then glue to put them together.

modular madness photos

for my  modular madness I choose materials, process , and form. This piece could have been made with any other object, but what I like about the wooden hangers is the is the space in the hangers there self. I feel that the space is what makes this art piece interesting. The hangers were not to hard to work with the only problem I had was getting them to stay in place. It sometimes took a lot of glue to get them to stay in place! I like how big the piece is  I think it shows the design well. My original idea was to stack the hangers in a spiral form but Donte suggested doing something like a cube and that gave me the idea to work with the negative space of the hangers.The dominate formals value and space and the is what makes this piece interesting.The dominating principle is scale and similarity.
