Week 4 in Summary




    This week I experimented with taking photos and looking deeper into different visual works, from the daily creates to the readings. I found it entertaining to get to know my 'inner art student' this week, attempting to be creative with the different assignments.


    My work for this week:

Enjoy!

Bad and Sunny
