A collage done with a good friend and fellow IB student, Maria Krodemansch. The text in the middle reads: "Dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before". A very fun and interesting project! Took some time to finish it though...<br />

As stated in the blog introduction at the top of the page, my purpose here is to create a web-portfolio for the creativity part of the CAS-class (Creativity, Action and Service) in the I.B. Diploma Program.<br />
<br />
<u>A small summary of the I.B CAS-class</u><br />
The I.B CAS-class requires the students to complete several (and finally; all) of the Learning Outcomes listed below in different activities<br />
<br />
<u>Learning Outcomes</u>:<br />
<ol><li>Increased awareness of my own strengths and areas of growth.</li>
<li>Undertaken new challenges</li>
<li>Planned and initiated activities</li>
<li>Worked collaboratively with others </li>
<li>Shown perseverance and commitment in my activity</li>
<li>Engaged with issues of global importance</li>
<li>Considered the ethical implications of my actions</li>
<li>Developed new skills </li>
</ol><br />
Anyways, I will be posting artwork here regularly for the next year and a half including approximately the hours spent and medium(s) used. All this because this artblog will serve as a log and evidence of my efforts, and at the end I will post which of the learning outcomes I have covered.<br />
<br />
<u>The CHALLENGE!</u><br />
...is to complete 100 pieces with one of the 100 themes below! <br />
<br />
<u>Why am I doing this?</u><br />
I decided to make this blog because my school unfortunately does not offer art as part of the curriculum, but this way I am able to draw and call it schoolwork. Also, making and maintaining a blog active is taking on a huge challenge in itself.<br />
<br />
Feel free to leave a comments and critique as it would help develop my skills and techniques further :)<br />
<br />
Here is the list of what I hope to complete within <span style="font-size: large;">Spring <span style="font-size: x-large;">2012:</span></span><br />
