A Summer of Art

Hey!! It's Carly, a.k.a. Little Artist Things.

I had a lot of fun relaxing this summer and experimenting with art. For my art class, we had to do some summer assignments but I had a lot of fun doing them!

So, as part of my homework, I'm supposed to show off some of my work! Here are the top 3 things I created!

3. December Sky
Here's a photo I took December 2015. I put a filter on it and I loved the eerie glaze and mysterious feeling it emanates.



2. Elevate 
Here's a picture I took not this summer, but summer 2016 when my family was on their way to New York. The first time I was on a plane- I was 5 and all I remember was a Disney Princess coloring book. So, needless to say, I was excited and scared for my first real plane ride! I absolutely adored the feeling of being "up in the clouds", and my camera definitely took advantage of it!



1. Shadow of A Cloud
I tried to be clever with the title of this one and fear I failed miserably.
Oh well! I wanted to stay consistent in the post with the theme of nature. I went to Fort Davis, Texas this summer with my cousin and grandparents and loved the atmosphere in the mountains. I wouldn't say quiet- no, that's not the way I would describe it. I would say- calm, and undisturbed. Of course, Fort Davis gets plenty of trashy tourists year round, but it seems to be well-maintained and preserved. It's not something that really feels like a time warp per se, but, rather, more "outside of time". I guess I would say some of my photos make me think of Salvador Dali, but rather than the "Persistence of Memory", it's more of a persistence of time, and the beauty of nature goes on despite time. Instead of a warped reality, reality is made clearer in the reflection of nature, and the observance of beauty in God's creation. 

Alright then- until next time!
