Last DMA Blog Post!

I remember first taking Intro to DMA as freshman and immediately knowing that I wanted to take that class forever. I couldn't wait to take DMA I. And then I couldn't wait to take AP. And now that I'm at the end of all of it, it's hard to count the ways that DMA has shaped my life. I remember liking DMA because it was art that I couldn't do. Other art classes like drawing or painting used skills I had already been practicing, but I had never done anything like DMA. It was beyond challenging, as I am terrible with computers, but that's what made it so appealing. On top of that Mrs. Shields and Mrs.Barnes made their classes challenging to pass. In other art classes, I could float through, make a couple pieces, get a 98% and head home. With DMA I had to fight to get the grades I wanted. It was art that pushed me, and I loved it so, so much.

In the fall I am attending the Honors Tutorial College at OU to study Production Design and Technology. I hope to continue making art and learning new skills.

Currently my favorite SI piece is my newest one. It's made to reflect Coronavirus. Wash your hands! The quote on the hands and arms were taken from news articles about the pandemic.

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.
