Not starting any traditions, just same old same old. Art is an elective but one that's really fun (i love art, even though i can't draw to save my life without a tiny little grid). I just got behind on a couple contract projects because of the stupid memory project (we have a semi-kinda exchange program, where people in the Advanced Art classes have to do portraits of these Ecuadorian orphans, and that took me forever!)

Other than the new stuff this year we get the day after Christmas off and have a previous tradition of hunting that day. This year we are headed east past Middlegate Station for bunnies. Hopefully the edible Cottontail sort.

The country is making a big mistake not teaching kids to cook and raise a garden and build fires.

Um, cook them...
They are like chicken. Prepare it to how you like. I prefer mine stewed with taters and the like. Sometimes baked in the oven.
MMmmmm....
So I have started my campaign against the arrogant decoy maker from the show we recently attended. I've contacted the local paper via e-mail detailing the misinformation and the liability of their lack of fact finding. The writer even admitted to have lived in the valley her whole life and knew better.
How does the government continue to protect people in the media who do this? This isn't Brittney Spears' baby daddy drama and what she is wearing to the Grammys. This is dying history that some people persue for financial gain and social notoriety at the cost of the spirit and tradition of a dying people.
I am doing my very best not to misdirect my anger. But it gets harder and harder to excuse people who know better.

basically he learned how to make them from a book ( completely ignoring the traditional makers and the way the craft is handed down from a teacher to student within the tribe) and then he began to promote himself as the guy who revived a lost art. He made claims in the paper that he had to learn that way because no one was around to teach him ( a total lie as NV has been making them exactly as he learned from his uncle and exactly as the skill has been passed down for generations.. verified by tribal elders)
He promotes himself all the time and even through his publicity won the governors award. He acts like he's this huge big shot and has been teaching non natives how to make a native craft ( illegal) and they have been selling them... again illegal, Plus totally disrespectful to the true artists who have carried this tradition for generations and who are humble. This guy's such an absolute ass!!!!

It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

I can't really do anything with actual drawing either- it takes me forever and I'm not real good at it. But I am good at abstract stuff, with lots and lots of colours ^_^
As for pottery, I can manage pretty well by hand, but I can't throw on the wheel to save my life lolz. My fav part of pottery is going the glazes, though, they're so pretty ^_^
