Abstract landscapes

I was with one of the guys I was with a week or two ago. He was much more enthusiastic, and he had a better idea of what he wanted to do, which I was happy for. So we did two printed posters, using landscapes, fantasy symbols, dragons, etc. I showed him how to use the polygonal lasso tool (and he was pretty ok with it!), as well as the other options like the eraser, regular lasso. He was very happy with the final result too. I think he will get more into it as time goes.

last week stuff + today's

for October 9th:

I was with another girl who pretty much knew what she was doing, we did a collage with pictures of her, and we applied different effects on the images. Apparently she was very calm with me, and that she is usually hyper. She loves singing and usually does music, and of course she was looking up some tunes during class as well.

Today:

Visited the center! I was very impressed. I mean, it's no luxury place, but it has everything and then some, food, showers, a music room loaded with guitars, an art room, computer room, class, sortation place with clothes and items, right down to pet food! I mean, who would think of it? They also had lockers, a nurse, and intervention office. It all felt like a mini-high school/elementary school. It feels like the youth are so vulnerable and not at the adult point of maturity yet...

In class, I was showing this guy how to work with flash, we did a stick people animation thing. Really basic, reallyyyy. Also, I tried started a photoshop collage with him. But we mostly watched youtube videos, "tete a claques" and "Salad Fingers". He seemed pretty quiet. I have a hard time imagining these kids in bad situations sometimes, makes you see that everyone has some good in them, no matter what they've done?

week 4

Today I helped a girl do another Photoshop collage/t-shirt design, which was pretty alright. Although she left while I went on break, maybe I shouldn't have left then? Or maybe it just didn't have to do with anything, who knows.

As for the website, another change of plans...gonna gather various sources, and focus on the site design.
