On Saturday 9\/6, a bunch of us went to the free art exhibit in snug harbor together and had a really fun time. When I arrived I was somewhat late due to the bus taking forever to get there. Considering that I do live quite a ways away from snug, I tried to leave early and make it but unfortunately that did not help in the end. Luckily, everybody started off in the ceramics room and I was able to join in despite being a few minutes late. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guy that was leading was pretty cool and the experience was nice. There were times where he showed off some of his work that he done himself and showed us this instrument he made and played it in front of us. It was really cool seeing how vast ceramics is and how it can be used when done properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I never done anything remotely close to ceramics ever so it was fun doing it for the first time. I did not expect it to get as messy as it did. I wore a nice hoodie and it get messed up immediately so I was kind of annoyed but it was fine. Towards the end of the experience a lot of people started to freestyle and make their own designs on their pots that they’ve made. Some made the pots different shapes, some made just different works altogether, it was really cool to see the different works that other people made. I chose to add a star onto mine (which took me a little while not gonna lie) and it turned out way better than I expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not the prettiest but it is still cool in my opinion. I got a lot of compliments on it too. I would like to try it again maybe but I would have to go with friends or something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the ceramics I moved on with some other people to different rooms and stumbled upon the painting room. At first I wanted to spectate since I am not the most creative, especially when it comes to anything drawing or painting. However, seeing all the people start to paint and their intense focus, it inspired me to attempt at making my own painting. Spoiler alert: it did not end well at all. I did appreciate the environment of the place however. There was an older lady that was there and she was orchestrating the whole thing which was nice and she was helpful. She even had some of her works on display but they were kind of small and farther away than the actual workshop itself. For the workshop there were statues we referenced off of and I began with a sketch of the statues. I took my time and was very careful with my sketch, but once I started to paint it just kept going downhill from there. That’s when I knew that painting is just not for me and that is ok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the entire experience was nice and cool, I would’ve liked to actually take time to analyze the art displays but still I enjoyed my time that I was there for. I am open to explore another event like this again sometime in the future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
