Dear Diary....

What stood out to me this week was the brief I got from Ma'am Sibongile. We were given a concept brief to use our initials to come up with a visually appealing design. We were then asked to give an explanation of our names and surnames as well as their meanings.

In Mr Mark's lesson, we continued the lesson on 2 point perspective.

In Ma'am Tebogo and Ma'am Zelda's lesson, we got cursive writing. We had a lesson on Time Management. Time Management is basically the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between different activities. The purpose of Time Management is to give us the ability to get more work done. Time management involves setting priorities, creating schedules, managing distractions, and adapting to changing circumstances to make the most of your time. It can help reduce stress, increase productivity, and improve your work life.

Week 4 at NEMISA was a blur. Trying to cover enough work before leaving for my uncle's funeral was quite challenging. I pushed myself to complete most of my work to avoid coming back to a lot of work. I hardly completed most of the work I wanted to complete because I set an unrealistic goal for myself. I missed two days out of the week because of my travels. My stay at my grandmother's house in Eastern Cape was traumatic given the circumstances under my visit. Seeing my mother disconnect from us was the most heartbreaking thing to ever witness. I still think about the moment she collapsed when my uncle's body arrived at the house. The screams that echoed all around the house when the body arrived sometimes play in my head from a far distance. Seeing my uncle's dead body was definitely not a part of my to-do list this year.  Despite the back and forth from Gauteng to Eastern Cape and vice versa, I eventually caught up with my work. 

A picture I took upon my arrival. I find this picture pleasing to my eyes

Dear Diary My first week at Nemisa, I experienced a bit of chaos. Adjusting to a new environment and meeting new people was a challenge, but it wasn't too difficult for me. The learning process has been great, especially in my drawing class where I'm learning about shading and how it creates texture, tone, and shape. Although the shading process is tedious, the end results are pretty good. My drawing teacher, Mr. Mark, is really nice and patient with us. In Ma'am Sibongile's class, I had my first assessment, which was to create a Concept Workbook about what art or design means to me. I was quite anxious about it, being my first assessment, and I put a lot of pressure on myself to do a great job. I hope I did well. For my first film appreciation class we watched a movie called The Requiem For A Dream. The meaning of the word Requiem is a sacred composition that sets to music religious texts which would be appropriate at a funeral, or to describe such compositions as eul

  Dear Diary I have a dream...  I have a dream that my dreams hang loose in the distant skies that hold my discerning desire for peace, love, and money. I have a dream that one day I master my ability to effortlessly wear grace on my shoulders without a care in the world, for the one I aim to impress is in the heavens and within me.  I have a dream that a gentle breeze soothes my soul.  I have a dream to reach a sense of calm and comfort that reaches deep within my soul and spirit.  I have a dream that my dreams become reality.  I have a dream that I may find solace in the gentle cares of my life's vulnerable moments.  I have a dream that I may fulfill my life's purpose. I have a dream that I may reach my potential, and understand the significance of my existence before my time runs out. I have a dream to live.  I have a dream to truly experience life, embrace its beauty, overcome its challenges, and find happiness and fulfillment in every moment. I have a dream that I may live

  Dear Diary....... My third week at NEMISA...... My third week at NEMISA was mainly boring. Some days during the week were better than others. What stood out to me this week was finally having a lesson on Software training and the school event I had on Friday.  I finally got to start with Software training with Ma'am Moleboheng. She taught us how to use Adobe Illustrator and it was quite fun and interesting. I enjoyed the whole learning process and I hope to enjoy more of her lessons. For Ms. Zelda and Ma'am Tebogo's lesson, we watched Martin Luther King's speech titled "I Have a Dream" delivered on the 28th of August 1963, at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. It was quite electric. We were then asked to each say what our dreams were on the spot. Ms.Zelda later gave us a task to write our own "I Have a Dream" speech in Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech format. She then gave us cursive writing to complete. For film appreciation, we wrot
