Dart Art

Have you ever watched The Princess Diaries and really wanted to try out that throwing darts and paint balloons art in that once scene? Well I did and today my wish came true! For one of my classes at Uni this semester we've been planning a very large student market hosted by just under 300 students. For this we worked in teams of 5 and unfortunately due to a few circumstances my team ended up being a team of 3 for most of the part but we steamed ahead. We wanted to create something different than your average market stall where they sell food or little charms, we wanted to create an experience. So together with just under 100 balloons we trekked forward and created this masterpiece. Let's hope we get a good grade!
If any of you want to try this out it's really simple: 

1. Grab some balloons, water balloons work the best, and after being stretched pour in a 60/40% paint/water mixer to about 3/4 of the way.
2. Grab a bottle, I used one of them no mess ketchup bottles, and pump it full of air. 
3. Attach the balloons to string then string them up over the canvas.
4. Throwwwww! 

Just say yes and live your life.

I've never really been one of those people who live life hard without the fear of striking out. Moving to University however has given me all these new chances to try something new and to say yes to things I would never have dreamed of doing ever in my life before. Although at this point in time it's only really small things but hey I'm trying! I even participated in an event even though I knew it involved running that's how pro I am now. (not that we didn't actually end up running but hey its the thought that counts) This is just one of the things I knew I had to grow up and do seen as being creative and a designer is made by taking chances. 

Don't put off or pull out of a project/assignment just because you have to present to the class. Don't shy away from showing off your work because it actually might be good you just don't know. Shout out an answer with confidence even if you don't know for certain it's right. Just do it all and get used to being wrong because you're going to be wrong many many times in your life. I know myself that I'm just getting started it's gonna get worse and I need to be ready so that when that time comes I don't end up collapsing into a crying ball of tears in the corner... x
