Mental illness video update

So far during this March break I've been working on this video. I'm extremely thrilled for the finishing product but I can't seem to put it together the way I can see it in my head.. Still need to add more and edit but it's coming alone. I also just want to say that yes in the video my sister does have a mental disorder but she is represents a bunch of them together.. She does not have all of them, and the same goes for my dad, he has a mentor disorder as well but we are acting in the video with drinking and smoking but not because I'm advertising it.. It's to show how some people cope with their mental disorder in ways that are obviously the worst idea they can make. There is help out there, you just need to speak up.

Who decides if you are an artist?

Something that I love most is technology. I have my phone with me 24/7 and am always on it pretty much. The way technology has evolved is crazy. Well so has the way art is shared as well. Like my art teacher Mrs. Rose has said in her recent blog post ( https://storify.com/ColleenKR/who-decides-if-you-are-an-artist ), art is now shown over social media such as Instagram, Facebook, twitter etc. You do not have to physically see the artwork now in a gallery, but over technology. How cool is that? My opinion on sharing your artwork over social media is much more effective because more and more people can view it. I think its awesome.  This question "Would you post your art on the internet or not?" gives me mixed signals because for one: I would love to share my art over the internet, but the downfall of that would be other people trying to steal your picture of your art unless you put your name on it somewhere.

3 Part Art Series (continuation)

 Theres a movie called Cyberbully starring Emily Osment. Even though this movie is about bullying, it still is very touching and sad for me to watch because my sister use to be bullied online just like this girl in the movie and after seeing this movie, I always thought to myself "I hope she never does this". But I posted the sad part of the movie because this is where I had the idea of the song ill be using for my video. I have been talking with my sister and my dad about mental illness. I've also been searching online and there is so much information its outrageous. I really know alot about mental illnesses because my grandma (my dads mom) suffered from bipolar disorder. My sister also suffers from a mental illness. I want to do something for my art to show how hard it is to deal with or what it looks like when an individual suffers from a mental disorder. That was for my first idea. My second idea for the 3 part art series would be to use a canvas and to create a pictu

Fibromyalgia Diagnoses

July 24, 2017... The day my life changed forever. Since I was 15, I started dealing with chronic pain. It started out in my ribs. As the years went on it had progressed all through out my body. I am now 20 years old and have been diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia. To be told by my doctor that I will need to change the way I do things in life in order to try and make the pain better. The amount of pain I have suffered and endured because of this fibromyalgia has really taken a huge toll on me. I have major brain fog and get confused very easily.

I have become so depressed but yet I am so happy with where my life is right now expect for the fibro.
