| Summer :'( |
I meant to start this post last Monday as a sort of
countdown towards the first day of my last year in Creative Communications.
However, as was the theme this summer, I
procrastinated, and now I'm starting this post with only the weekend separating
me from the end of the holiday.
Sigh.
Nonetheless though, I'm excited to start school.
I'm excited to start my Independent Professional Project (IPP), I'm excited to
see my peers, and I'm excited to debut the new theme of my blog!
One of my biggest criticisms for my blog was the
lack of direction I had during the previous year. Seriously, if you go through
the archives you'll see what I mean: movies, cats, books, poutine, Harry Potter
dinner parties... it's a hot mess.
Luckily for me, I had a surge of inspiration after
visiting the 100 Masters at the WAG. My friend Nick and I were looking over an
art piece by François Boucher called “The
Wooden Shoes”, which depicted a couple in the forest feeding cherries to one
another. In the description of the piece, it described the painting as being
part of the Rococo era, an art movement that moved away from the typical French
paintings at the time that were politically driven. Rococo art was made to be
elaborate, playful, and humourous—similar to the themes I want to convey in my
blog, particularly focusing on my life in Winnipeg.
Therefore, I will leave
you with a link to my article in the Winnipeg Free Press where I talk about one
of my favourite places in this beautiful city: Naru Sushi. Enjoy.
