28. college football




Well the season is over now. My family are GA Bulldog supporters. I guess after so many years of school and working for them they have your heart and money too. Even if they don't do well. I can also see where football is an art. But I see it as art with skill. If you lack to skill the art will never be known. There is one guy at all the games that sits near us. I will try to locate his picture. People decorate cars, homes, and themselves to support their favorite teams.

27. Cakes






Here is a collection of Cakes that I made for my son's birthdays.

Copyright laws

Due to so many copyright laws many photos I found were not to be used even by students. Therefore, I decided to use as many references to items that were created by me or my friends and family.

3. Interview with an Artist


My interview was with my son. He is already an artist but not famous - yet. He wants to be an architect some day. He discusses with me the frustrations and disappointments when his work does not turn out the way he wants it to. Or maybe it does, but the one he's trying to impress with it doesn't think so. I've tried to tell him that unfortunately many artist are not recognized until after their death. Many are ahead of their time.

15. My favorite artist











My favorite artist is as mentioned before-my son, Atticus Leithner. He is very talented for a 9 yr old. He inspires me artisticially, and I do all I can to encourage him. I am not much of a history person. So even though, I have heard and seen works of art by the many artists we have reviewed, researched and created during this semester, my favorite will always be my son, unless he gives up his ambition. Which I really hope he does not. I have many small items sculpted from model magic clay from the time he was probably 3. I am posting some of his most resent dioramas and posters he has done for school this year.

16. I love this piece of architecture because....



I fell in love with:
Fallingwater is the name of a very special house that is built over a waterfall. Frank Lloyd Wright, America’s most famous architect, designed the house for his clients, the Kaufmann family. Fallingwater was built between 1936 and 1939. It instantly became famous, and today it is a National Historic Landmark.
