 I can honestly say that I was extremely impressed and touched by Michelle Derosier's "Walk-A-Mile Film Project". This young women has a voice that stands not only for herself  but for other people as well. While watching her video, I wanted to cry, but not in a bad way.. I wanted to cry because its a message that needs to be brought to awareness and I am very proud of what she has accomplished. The video gave me shivers towards the end. I acknowledge Michelle's courage and its amazing to see the awareness she is making.

 When my  art teacher Mrs. Rose put this video up on the screen, I payed attention to every word that was said, it really sets in and shows the reality of the life and history of Aboriginal Peoples. Another major reason why I am proud of this young women's work, is because even though I'm young, I'm trying to raise awareness about mental disorders  (as seen on my blog). Michelle wants people to see and realize what is going on and how we as people can help and that's exactly what I am trying to do but with Mental Illness. Her video was only around 3 minutes long, but it was long enough to send the message that she was trying to come across.

Who decides if you are an artist?

Something that I love most is technology. I have my phone with me 24/7 and am always on it pretty much. The way technology has evolved is crazy. Well so has the way art is shared as well. Like my art teacher Mrs. Rose has said in her recent blog post ( https://storify.com/ColleenKR/who-decides-if-you-are-an-artist ), art is now shown over social media such as Instagram, Facebook, twitter etc. You do not have to physically see the artwork now in a gallery, but over technology. How cool is that? My opinion on sharing your artwork over social media is much more effective because more and more people can view it. I think its awesome.  This question "Would you post your art on the internet or not?" gives me mixed signals because for one: I would love to share my art over the internet, but the downfall of that would be other people trying to steal your picture of your art unless you put your name on it somewhere.

3 Part Art Series (continuation)

 Theres a movie called Cyberbully starring Emily Osment. Even though this movie is about bullying, it still is very touching and sad for me to watch because my sister use to be bullied online just like this girl in the movie and after seeing this movie, I always thought to myself "I hope she never does this". But I posted the sad part of the movie because this is where I had the idea of the song ill be using for my video. I have been talking with my sister and my dad about mental illness. I've also been searching online and there is so much information its outrageous. I really know alot about mental illnesses because my grandma (my dads mom) suffered from bipolar disorder. My sister also suffers from a mental illness. I want to do something for my art to show how hard it is to deal with or what it looks like when an individual suffers from a mental disorder. That was for my first idea. My second idea for the 3 part art series would be to use a canvas and to create a pictu

Fibromyalgia Diagnoses

July 24, 2017... The day my life changed forever. Since I was 15, I started dealing with chronic pain. It started out in my ribs. As the years went on it had progressed all through out my body. I am now 20 years old and have been diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia. To be told by my doctor that I will need to change the way I do things in life in order to try and make the pain better.
