Wk14-Art Experience-The Street is a great place for Art
For Week 14, we were originally going to do graffiti art, but with the coronavirus and stay at home orders, we changed it to a simple bubble letters art. I wrote my initials, and then painted them. The experience was pretty simple, but also short. It wasn’t too hard to learn how to…

My Gallery: Aesthetics Independent of Gameplay While for many, video games are a way to compete and play with others, showing their skill in matches against others.

Wk10-Art Experience-Art is a good way to Talk to Your Brain!
