nhd reflection year 2

This year I did Andy Warhol for N.H.D. I learned a lot about his life. Andy Warhol had an illness who makes him move in voluntarily; the illness was called St vitas dance. He had two brothers his parents were from the check republic. At first he lived in poor apartments with no water and electricity. Later he earned enough money to buy a town house. he collected cookie jars. He had about 400 wigs and 135 cookie jars. Another secret fact is the only people who saw him without his wigs are his nephews.Andy warhol was a mentor to Keith Haring and jean Basquiat. Basquiat did paintings that look like scribbles. Haring did animated paitings and painted on subway station walls.Andy did many silkscreens and celebrities asked andy to paint silk screens of them. There is only on e other Artist who has a museum dedicated to him.(Miss Klose told me that.)
I would get a bigger car next time I have to lug one of those boards home. One improvement is I would tell people not to cover the part of the board under the marque. The reason is if you don't the marque will cover the images. Luckily I fixed this issue. I had my images on the board and I had two portraits of Andy I put the marque on and I found out the marque was covering it. SO I peeled off the images re-arranged the images and reglued them.( they are now on the marque.) Also I would give more time. I would take out the annotated bibliography. That is the hardest part for me. I would improve the type of paper i used for my images. When I glued the picture to the background paper It sometimes smudged the picture. I would improve the word limit It was hard to keep it under 500. i managed to do so but it was. Hard I would have a camera to take pictures and have spare batteries.(my camera's batteries broke.)
This Years project is very different from this year.LAst year I did a play on William Still. This year I did an exhibit on Andy Warhol. The difference is one had twice the images. This year I got to work at home more.I didn't have to recite any lines.(i go tired of reciting my lines.I had more items this year and none were props. I had to write a process paper and annotated bibliography both years.I was better prepared for what was in store this year. Both year's my projects were good enough to go to the next level.
