Rain Barrel

Every year the Cincinnati Zoo teams up with SaveLocalWaters to raise money for water conservation. The zoo reviews and accepts submissions from local artists to paint rain barrels to be auctioned off. This project is a way to educate the public and raise money. I decided to contribute a barrel this year because my submission was accepted! I attached pictures of my (almost) finished barrel and also the link to the Save Local Waters website. I highly recommend submitting a design in the years following. There is an awesome group of people in charge of the barrels and it's for a great cause. I hope you enjoy!

The rain barrels will be on display at the Cincinnati zoo starting March 31st and the auction will be online April 9th and 19th.

  1. I have heard about this project at the zoo before and think it is such a cool idea, it is even cooler that your entering in a barrel. At first I thought you were using an example as your picture but now I realize that that is yours! Your barrel is awesome and it will go for a lot of money for sure.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

      Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
