Week 4 Reflection:

I think that overall this was a good project, and I wouldn't say this has helped me become more creative...but it has helped a little bit because it has opened my perspective range a little bit to see things differently. Like in my paint picture, I normally would have just gotten really close to it and taken a picture, but instead I tried a bunch of different views that captured the paint best. The hardest part about this project though was after posting about thirteen things I am grateful for it started to get a little harder having to think of things I am grateful for, but it helped me focus a lot more on having to think about that. The most valuable part about this project most definitely had to be the fact that every ones pictures were so different from each others, and it helped me get a better understanding of who people really are, and what they love. I would recommend this project to other students, but only those who would actually take it seriously and enjoy doing it...because the project is pointless if you don't actually take it seriously. If I were to do a 20: One Grateful project though I would have the theme be Joy, because the smallest things in life can bring someone joy and even things you wouldn't expect. Overall though I had a fun time doing this project.



Day 20:

Today is the last day of posting a picture everyday, and this is my favorite photo I have probably ever taken...and without my camera I wouldn't have been able to take this photo, or any photo I have ever taken that I love.

Day 19:

I really don't like summer because of the heat, but I love being able to go out on the boat with my friends and family. My friend Zoie, A.J, John, and I are all on this two person tube messing around, and Brian (the boat driver) did donuts and took us right through it...we all flew off the tube and also went flying into the air, it was so scary but so exciting at the same time. Nothing can compare to a day like this :)

Day 18:

I had the best time at the fair with my niece, she is the funniest person in the world...and the expressions on her face during the tea cup ride was absolutely priceless, she kept trying to spin it but wasn't strong enough to so she yelled at me to and the look at her face was one to remember when it started spinning fast. I love her so much :) 

Day 17:

My oldest brother Grady and his daughter are two of the biggest characters you would ever meet. They are so alike in so many ways and it makes it that much better to be around them. I always have a smile on my face when im with them...I couldn't ask for anyone better to be in my life than these two people :)

Week 3 Reflection:

It has been really fun being able to see what other people find meaningful to them and it really helps you get a better understanding of who they are I think. This project has definitely been one that I will remember in the future. It has really helped me get a better hold onto what I love and cherish in life, even the little things :)  

 

Day 16:

This is a years worth of paint built up that after every painting the artist would put all the left over paint into this clump. I think it's really interesting how an artist would save all that up. It reminds me that anyone can have so much that happens to them over a year, and making memories of them is just another great way to remember things you have accomplished...just like what this painter did, saved up all his extra paint to remind him of all he accomplished over the year :)
