My 6 Word Memoir #5

The fifth picture I chose was another pencil drawing I drew, this time of a horse rearing. I chose the saying horses are birds without their wings for two reasons. The first reason is that when you are riding a horse at a full gallop it really feels like you are flying and the second reason is that when the horses are running around outside it looks like they are trying to run and jump into the sky. They are as free and fast as a bird but they are bound to the earth. I chose the white curly font because of its elegance and beauty, which I believe is an accurate depiction of a horse. It is hard to describe to most people why a horse is so special, because unless you have ever been loved by a horse you cannot understand the special bond that is shared.

My 6 Word Memoir #4

For my fourth memoir I chose a picture of one of the tallest marsh flowers in Manitoba. This flower has to grow above all the other plants so that it can get a few moments of sunshine each day. It takes courage and persistence to rise above everyone around you but in the end it will always be worth it. I chose a bold, white handwritten font, so that my point could be clearly seen and I believe that the font accents the picture. 

My 6 Word Memoir #3

For my third memoir I chose to add a pencil drawing I drew of a tiger’s face. I added it because I love to draw tigers because no matter how many times you draw one they always turn out different. No two tigers have the same stripes and I think this is a good representation of individuality and how it’s important to just be yourself. Don’t try to be like the person next to you because you are both very different in your own ways. I added the orange font because I think it represents that they can be different colours as well. Weather they are orange or white they will still have different stripes

My 6 Word Memoir #2

For my second memoir I chose to add a picture of a summer lightning storm. I believe that life is as unpredictable as a summer storm because you can never predict what will happen next or where the lightning will strike. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns that can be influenced by you but ultimately you have very little control over them. It took me over an hour to finally capture a picture of the lightning in the clouds because I could never predict when it would flash. I chose the bold white font to match the colour and the intensity of the lightening. 

My 6 Word Memoir #1

 For my first memoir I wrote about love. I believe that love is someone who stays by your side through everything that happens to you. They should be your support and your comfort. I chose this picture of my two cats together because of the touching story behind them. When the orange one (Milo) was a kitten, he was the runt of his litter and was left to fend for himself in a house full of feral cats. We rescued him and brought him home but he was too young to be away from his mother. We were worried about him but we soon saw that there was no need to worry. The grey one (Missy) took him in and cared for, taught him everything a house cat needs to know and kept him out of trouble.  To this day they still look after one another as you can see from them napping together in their favorite chair.

This is a quote that I think really pertains to our creative writing class because we can be told a thousand times how to write a response but without creativity on our part the response will just be a boring recitation of what everyone else already knows. I personally find this quote to quite inspiring because I love creativity. I know I can solve a problem from A to B but I prefer a project where you can truly show your strengths and talents through creativity. Without imagination where would we be a this very moment? That is impossible to say but definitely something that is interesting to consider.

Personal Addition #6

These are two pencils sketches I drew. I was inspired to draw these while reading my current book, Tiger's Quest. I love the fact that no matter how many times i draw i tiger i don't have to make all of their stripes the same. I can try different designs and patterns and not have to worry about weather or not that's what a tiger's stripes look like exactly.

 I love to draw their eyes the most, so i included one of my favorite drawings of a close-up on a tigers face. Enjoy!

 This second picture is another one inspired by my book. I love how tigers look when they move. The power and grace under their striped coat....they are such beautiful animals and my silly sketches don't even come close to capturing their true splendor.
