  McLuhan states "The Museum has become a storehouse of human values, a cultural blood blank"  I was extremely excited to take part in the art show because the last time I took part in an art show was the state art show and I lost in the final round. Honestly losing in the state art show in high school killed a little bit of confidence in high school . I really appreciated being able to put my art on display without the fear of it being compared to someone else's as if it was a competition . I also gained an appreciation for printing the images as well because it makes you consider how important resolution and photo quality is. Also, it is such a thrilling feeling to have a book published with your own artwork in it. The book is something I can always look back on and remember as the starting point. The book is a steppingstone for me, and I really look forward to publishing more books of my artwork. I someday hope to see some of my artwork in a museum and to be apart

  My original idea was to create a video expressing my artistic interest and where I want my art to go in the future , but after talking to some friends of mine, who are artists as well, they suggested that I start a website . My friends explained to me how imperative it is for every artist to have a website where their art can be on display 24/7 365. A website is like a never-ending art gallery for an artist. My website is also a representation of future projects I have and where I want my artwork to go moving forward. I was nerv ous at first about displaying my art on a we b site because I did not think it was up to pa r, but I remembered a quote from the McLuhan book that read “We have no art. We do everything as well as we can.” This quote stuck with me because it provides me with a sense of reassurance. My website will touch on the many mediums that I am trying to be involved in. These mediums include Videography/ Cinematography, Photography, Fashion & Design, and St
