June was a life changing month for me this year: going to New York for the Scholastic Art Awards, and then on to France and Italy to see tons of amazing art.

Some of my favorite pieces of art from other award winning students...

this was a silver medal portfolio piece done with acrylic paints...

and i believe this was a gold medal photograph...
i was really inspired by these two pieces in particular because 
they seemed so simple and unique in style. getting to see other
students' work was probably the most inspiring.

i also went to the MOMA in NYC... :D
Picasso& Andy Warhol classics.

i was really lucky to visit when i did because i have an interest in printmaking and they happened to have an exhibit on Picasso's prints. SICK. &&& scholastic students got to take our own private little tour around the museum and talk about some of the famous pieces. we spent a long time looking at the noodies that Picasso painted above^^

the busy month ended with some ooold school art in Europe..

  2. The gold medal photograph is really interesting and I like it a lot! I also went to the MoMA and loved it. They had the drawing exhibit closed when I went though, which was disappointing. Seems like you had a great summer and saw a lot of cool stuff!
