Printmaking



This exhibit in the Emmanuel Art Gallery was especially interesting to me. Since maybe 7th grade I've always wanted to make graphic t-shirts of my own and these are screen prints to do exactly that. I never really got the materials or time to do it but seeing this in person made me want to try again. I've made little stamps before and stamped on paper but I want to try it on shirts or jeans. I think I will in the future, and I'm really looking forward to learning more about it.

    I hope you actually go and try to make the t-shirts. It's always exciting when a dream comes back to you.

    I think it's always a good process to come back to things you enjoy especially after seeing inspiration on what could be done.

    I designed a t-shirt for my high school junior year -- but only on the computer using software. I didn't get the chance to actually use the shirt press to print the design on a physical shirt, which I think would be fun and it might have led to a more rewarding outcome. Printing a design on jeans sounds cool, too.

Culture

I think people should be a little more open to experiencing other cultures and respecting them. I grew up surrounded by Hawaiian culture, and in school it was part of my whole day, along with Hawaiian language and culture and history classes. And I'm so grateful I did and that's where I come from because I can't imagine growing up without that. Especially since Hawaiians are such a big community and we are all family and supportive of each other. I really can't imagine growing up without that feeling of like knowing everybody and being somewhere where even if we aren't blood related, everyone is part of my family. That's also a big part of Hawaiian culture, family doesn't have to be blood and blood doesn't have to be family. As a sign of respect to our elders, everyone older than you is either Aunty or Uncle, no matter who they are to you. I don't entirely know where I'm going with this, I just think that the whole world should be more educated a...

 To be quite honest, I did barely any preparation for college in high school. I was kind of just surviving. I took all average classes, no APs, no honors. I did some scholarships, and applied for maybe 3 or 4 colleges. I honestly didn't even research them either. I was so completely un-prepared. And then I had to choose a school, so I went to visit CU Denver and a smaller branch of Oregon State. I chose this school because the other one I visited was in a small town and I wanted to be somewhere that had things going on all the time, so the city was for me. I think that's the only thing I knew for sure.  When it came to picking my major, I still go back and forth with if I really really  want it or not. I really like photography, but I feel like that's something not worth paying for, like you can learn it by yourself. I also really like drawing and painting, but I like it too much and I wouldn't want it to be ruined if I turned it into a career. I think that's why I ...
