THE GRAND FINALE!!

$tan da MAN-Today is bits art gallery groups last day working. It is with a heavy heart that I must say goodbye to all of my friends and colleagues here, many of whom I have seen on a daily basis for over couple of months. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the support I received here at bits, and to let you all know that I have appreciated the friendly atmosphere in which I have worked.

Vinnie da Pooh-We shared alot of fun times, painting, and blogging. Not so much blogging, but we definitely had fun painting. It was a rough six weeks but we pulled through, we gained alot of experience working, and improved our portfolio building skills.

Super Si-Si-Today is the BITS Open House. It is also the last day of the program. I am going to miss coming here every morning.This program has been a life changing experience. I had the best group in this program,ART GALLERY. I want to thank everyone I worked with and everyone that came out and supported us. I will miss it all. BYE:-(

First Art Gallery Showing!

Six weeks ago we were handed a storage room. Littered all over the floor were bulky boxes, dreary drawers, and obtrusively in the middle were two huge dusty desks. Six weeks later, trudging through murky waters, rolling through rugged mountains, and navigating through raging tempest, with perseverance, diligence, and inner fortitude, we arrived upon a transformed room. Transfigured, the boxes became deep thoughtful paintings, the drawers became invigorating collages, and the ugly desks crumbled away to reveal a furnished table on which we laid down treats for our prospective gallery viewers.

We poured blood, sweat, and tears, in our paintings, in our work. Each and every painting that hangs on the wall today contains a deep history. They aren't just random colors splotched together in desperate hope for a crude painting. They are a blend of colors that reflect ourselves. We did not make these paintings with our hands; we made it from our hearts. Each stroke of paint was guided by our soul, our emotions flowered the colors, and our sweat mixed the paint.

One O' clock ticked, and the gates were opened. Urban denizens swarmed our front gates in eager anticipation to view what we have done these past weeks. Seventy pair of eyes gazed upon our work, comments were flung all around,

"The collage talks to me"
"These works of art should be in a real museum."
"You can really see and feel the time and effort put into the work."
"The art is beautiful, I love every piece."

We must also mention and cannot disregard the few dozen Good Job's and Nice Work's that were handed to us. All these comments contributed to five heart felt smiles that spanned across our faces at the end of the day. We were proud, proud of ourselves, proud of the experience, proud of our work, proud of our gallery.

Today was only the first of our art gallery showing, it was a mere trial run, but it was met with tremendous success. Tomorrow will be our second opening, starting at 7 P.M. and ending at 9 A.M., we will host another art showing. This time it will be much more exasperating, exuberant, extraordinary, and utterly mind blowing.

Cleaning of Skate Park

Recycling

On Monday we went around Temple campus to pick up some of the trash that could be recycled. We found a spot next to the subway which was very dirty,and filled with mosquitoes and smelly, it was filled with trash from cans, bags, paper, plastic even a deodorant. We picked everything up and placed it in a plastic bag. Then we walked around the campus until we found a recycling bin.

recycling shoulld be enforced more often to keep communities safe and clean. More recycling bins should be placed all around the city and message needs to get to the people through all the different types of media like radio stations, televisions, and newspapers. If people would not throw trash out in the first place then no one would be picking up trash. Please remember RECYCLE your trash.
