SU's Best Dance Crew

Hey all! I thought I would take a break from chatting about school work and classes and take this opportunity to tell you guys about an awesome experience I get to be a part of! Tonight SU will be hosting SU's Best Dance Crew, and my dance team gets a chance to compete for a chance to win $500! I am really excited because I know we all worked so hard to perfect our dance, and I really feel like we have a good shot at winning this competition. For the first round we have to incorporate a plastic sled into our dance, which was a hard task at first, but I think we established a unique way to fit that in there. My dance team has really been a nice outlet away from my studies, so once you guys get to SU, try and find an extracurricular that is right for you, and I promise you will have a great time!

Ceramic artist Jen Allen!

Hey guys! Today I thought I would talk a little bit about what I am doing in my ceramics class! We studied an artist, and her name in Jen Allen. She came in to visit us, and did a demonstration on how she makes some of her pieces, needless to say it was really cool! She uses very soft colors for her glazes and she depicts such intricate detail to all of her pieces. She says it takes her longer to glaze than to actually make the piece. Our project in class is called "Being Jen Allen" So basically we are trying to create pieces like her. We are not copying her but we are adding some of her techniques to our own pieces, to create a whole new style! I am super psyched to be a part of this class, and I already started making some really cool pieces. Until next time, Peace, Love, and VPA! =)

Back at 'Cuse!

Hey guys! So its been a while since my last post, but I hope you guys had an awesome winter break! I know I did, I got a chance to go to India! It was an amazing experience, I got to see my family after such a long time, and I also got to go to the Golden Temple, Lotus Temple, and others. There is so much beautiful architecture to discover in India. I was mostly in northern India in Punjab, I have yet to explore the southern half! I also got to meet my great uncle who is 103 years old! While the experience was absolutely amazing, I am glad to be back home, school is another story... haha. Until next time, See ya future VPAers!
