Not much has been going on lately... it's school, you know? We've already started on our design unit and have been analyzing (or should I say "analysing", I got "analyse" wrong on my spelling test because I spelled it "analyze", the American way) some products such as this sink and toilet put together (don't ask), Australian bills, a clothes hanger (for drying), and a bike helmet. I think I'm okay at that stuff. I still think this is going to be a hard topic, though. I have absolutely no idea what I would design or re- design. So that's about that.
Yesterday we also got our sixth grade graduation shirts and sweaters (or jumpers, should I say?). There is a little bit of a story behind that. Every year our teacher lets some kids who want to submit T- shirt designs (hey, I already designed something this year!) for the T- shirts. Then the whole sixth grade votes for the design it likes most and that ends up on the T- shirt. This was my entry (to the left):
Uhu. You're seeing that right. That is a dead horse jumping over a fence. I'll tell you how it went: I was just hanging around the library, looking for something to draw, when Guinea Pigs says "You can draw a dead horse jumping over a fence!"
So I did and I showed it to her and she liked it. Maybe a week or two later this T- shirt competition comes up and I'm thinking of what to draw when, all of a sudden, I think: "The dead horse jumping over the fence!" So I add the words and give it to my teacher. She gives me a funny look but takes it anyways. After a few weeks or something it is time to show the designs. All the other ones are shown before mine. Honestly, I wasn't really expecting it to be popular, first because it had a dead horse on the front, second because they were also liking the other designs, but look what happened: my teacher holds up the drawing, tells what's on it, and everybody starts yelling "YEAH!!!". It was awesome, except in the end our teacher didn't let us use it. I still think that's a funny story to tell. Yesterday I got the drawing back and everybody was eyeing it and saying "That should have been on our T- shirt." I was also going around making jokes with everyone with how the parents would be like if we did have that design on the shirts.
I don't really mind that my design didn't make it: I just drew it to please my friend, and then submitted it on a whim. It was a big uproar, though. And please don't think I'm weird... because I just said that I did that drawing for fun. I have a different humor, you know?
That was all I really had to say. On to the random picture:
I love this one. I don't get the Beddy Bye Eyes thing, but anyways... still FUNNY! Just when you thought the shelves were safe...
Where did you find them? I want to look up them all!

You should tell your teacher that as lobs as you are consistent with a spelling (i.e. American) you shouldn't be penalize ( with 'z').
ReplyDeleteAh. It is weird to draw a dead horse jumping over a fence...
