Wowow thank you! ^-^ You should try making figures yes yes yes! OMG I would looove to see them! I get my clay at walmart, lolz. I buy a fair-sized brick of white Sculpty for $6 which is great because the same brand for the same size is $10 at Hobby Lobby.
Bettas are colored pencil ;p I use Prismacolor
With the silver key award I painted a picture of an ocean shore with waves. My teacher thought it was pretty and sent it into F.A.M.E ----> http://www.famearts.org/ but this was years and years ago! I got my painting hung up in the local museum. Also that year I got a scholastic art award and honorable mentions for my ocarinas along with that ocean painting. With the Ft Wayne's district of art ranking awards go from highest to lowest:
Regional Awards:
Gold Key: The highest level of achievement on the regional level.
American Visions & Voices Nominees: Works named “Best of Show” for each region.
Silver Key: Works worthy of recognition on the regional level.
Honorable Mention: Work demonstrating artistic potential.
I have never won a golden key....lolz. Had I have known that I was entered secretly by my teacher I would have been more competative to get a golden key! LOL.
The Gera award.... woooowoowowowow I was soooo lucky to get that!!! I honestly think I was a favorite in that class... 0.o I have been googling that award online but nothing is popping up :/ It might be an exclusive indiana thing or something... idk. I won that in like 4th grade I wanna say? All i remember is I got a scholarship for art school in Indiana, a certificate, that ribbon, and my crappy portrait of my friend was displayed in Gera, Germany for a year. OMG sadly....all I have is my ribbon.... my stepdad rashed all those certificate papers away T-T Hopefully I can go to an art school here in Mckinney [and win more awards] lolz
