I have been bored all day, it is a Saturday, and so I have made some pieces of art for you. But since I can't give them to you (you are in America and I am in Germany), I will take their picture and then throw the art all away into the garbage can.
ok ok, actually I lied. It wasn't all for you, steve. I've been making things all day because I get sooooo bored, and also because it is my host dad's birthday as well as my good friend Mareike's (german friend from school) birthday. And you, steve (my REAL american brother), wanted to see them!
i made this small mobile for my friend Mareike's birthday today. It's made out of rocks I found at an island I went to, wire I found in a drawer, and also a cool paper star I found... I wish'd i'd also made that star.
I made this card for my (german) art teacher, Herr Surkau, because I felt bad after I abandoned his class for another Art class... I sort of started skipping Herr Surkau's class because they never made art and only lectured the whole time IN GERMAN = boring and not what i want in an ART CLASS. So I started going to Herr Buchholtz's class because he speaks English and MAKES (not talks) art. But finally sorted it out the right way, and told Herr Surkau the deal and also made him this card. He didn't seem to care at all, not even a smile for the card. I think he was confused by my bad german.
This is the card I made for Marieke's birthday, amongst the CHESTNUTS that I have collected since I've been here. These "Kastanien" are everywhere, and i love them because they're so smoooooth
This is the inside of Marieke's card - which i wrote in GERMAN..... aha!! If you actually take the time to translate it, you might be confused because there are a lot of inside jokes.
This is the card I made for Markus' birthday. Don't worry, he appreciates the pink flower because he's a GARDENER. And a cook. AAAANNNDDD an opera singer. Yeah, he's breakin' the boundaries! you all could learn a thing or two from him ;) . I made it for him this morning out of the following materials: the pretty, silvery inside of a milk carton’s cardboard (found in the recycling bin); construction paper scraps of primary colors (found in the waste basket); and scissors and a glue stick that I took from school. Recourceful, no?
