Daily post synthesis

OLD: Recycling Clay! I do it everyday. We have a garbage can (big size) with the solid clay that have left over after our artists and also the ceramics unsuccessful pots and all that. I put them into G-can, mix with water. It takes a while for the solid clay to dissolve in the water and become evenly soft. So when it is done now i have to put the clay out of that G-can so it can dry out more quickly. I put the clay on one of the wedging clay tables (we have 3). So when it dries fair enough i wage it and put inside of the plastic bag. And this clay is ready to be used again! =)
OLD: Photography class! I have this class every Tuesday. it is black/white photography. We take pictures, we process film and we print pictures. It is kind of fun. Also we mix chemicals, so you need to know proportions of each chemical and we use different techniques to make our print look fabulous, such as: using filters, changing time, etc.
NEW: Last week me and my mentor gave a gallery tour in the Lower East Side. There are about 20 -30 small exhibits at LES. They are pretty cool. Each of them is different, and most of them solo galleries. Pictures coming up!!!
NEW: Well, Educational Alliance Art School is getting ready for the Summer Secion. Every secion we distribute cards with the design on the front page and important information on the back. Straight to the point: I drew the design for the front cover. It was like a little story of Art School, what classes do we have, and where is it located. It is cool! Joseph said they ll make 5.000 of them, also you ll find out my name on the back of this card. He gave me some credits for the drawing=)
