Not everything will work and all you can really do is try something else. (1) · Honestly, don’t take school as a joke, as much as high school is an incredible experience and such a time to be alive (you know, like the “young wild and free” quote).

I know it’s silly coming from (1) · I think that really making it about something you're already passionate about is super important. It's only as much extra work as you make it really.

(1) · There are going to be moments of frustration with essentially any project you attempt; don't let those moments prevent you from finding solutions and making progress on your work.

Along the way, taking baby steps, I will learn and understand about people’s view. A lot of people see graffiti as a crime, but not for me.

(1) · “Forever Youth” is something we can all relate to. I believe that no matter what age you are, you are truly never too young to experience something new.

Visit [https://zachariahphotography.com/ Zachariah Photography]. (1) · My capstone exploration is a blend of two experiences wherein I believe that the importance of using your voice is emphasized.

After deciding not to write the book, I felt more comfortable and natural making my capstone with a piano rather than a pencil. I started spending hours at the piano at home.

Nothi (1) · Honestly I changed my plan a lot, I was supposed to make a magazine, I ended up making a little online portfolio.

(1) · I took away the composition stuff because I found the resin aspect to be way more fun. I also added propmaking because cosplay is something I love doing, and I love designing different aspects of characters that I can make myself.

(1) · Unfortunately my idea for the etchings went out the window as the trip was postponed. Also, etching is a difficult type of printmaking that requires the copper plate to be dipped in acid.

A learned why people hate graffiti and think it’s a crime. I’m learning it as if I was just born. (1) · As I started going I learned I just like really only doing graphic work and also making one at a time. Not involving my other interest (as much as I love photography), but just focusing on one thing—it’s nice and more fun for me that way. I think my biggest take away is that although my work isn (1) · I learned a lot about me, and the "demons" I have. I feel not near as powerless as I did to them even just a little while ago.

Printmaking (1) · One of my takeaways from my capstone—and senior year as a whole—is to define what your limits are and to be realistic and flexible with your expectations for yourself.

Knowing that I created this song makes me feel even more confident about the other works I will come to create in my life. I've also learned that gettin (1) · Resin is way more finicky than I ever imagined. It's also not safe to touch without gloves. That was a good scare. Also, fur fabrics are the bane of my existence, but they're worth using because they cover up seam mistakes (also if you use the right ones, they're such a nice texture!). I also lear (1)
