Life

I now don't need Google Maps to guide me to my dorm and the cafeteria! My sense of direction is so horrible, it's embarrassing. I have never been on my own in New York and it is another world compared to the small town in California that i'm from. Although New York city is so chaotic, I somewhat like the chaos. I wonder if I will still think the same way at the end of this month.

Finding Inspiration in Washington Square

The delicate leaves against the hard concrete

A splotch found on the ground that I found intriguing because of the possibilities of what could have formed that circular shape. The small water droplets reminds me of when salt is applied on wet watercolor.

At first, I thought this was ice cream. But as I looked closer, I realized that it was a paint that took a plastic-like form. It wasn't flat like I thought it was. And it had so many different patterns stuck to it.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Once I walked into the Charles James: Beyond Fashion exhibit, I immediately recognized that beautiful image that was once featured in Vogue.

The setup of the exhibit was incredible. As if the dresses weren't spectacular enough, the laser which "dissected" the dress gave so much more information to the viewer. It connected to Frank's lesson on how any shape could take form on a garment. The construction of the dresses would have been near impossible to comprehend without the informational video that they paired with every dress.
