Okay, so, the other day, I got this idea stuck in my head about famous Italian sculptors. I’m no expert, but the topic just seemed so darn interesting. I’ve always loved art, but never really dug deep into the stories behind the artists, you know? So, I decided to roll up my sleeves and do a little research. First, I fired up my computer and started with a simple search. I just typed in “famous Italian sculptors” and hit enter. Loads of names popped up, but a few really stood…

Alright, let’s talk about making some chain mail armor. I got this crazy idea in my head to try and make a full suit, and boy, was it a journey. I started completely clueless, but hey, you gotta start somewhere, right? Getting Started First things first, I needed to figure out what I was even doing. I watched a bunch of videos and read some stuff online. Turns out, you need a lot of metal rings and some tools. I ordered a big bag of galvanized steel rings – the…

OK, so, “Kumulipo,” right? Sounds kinda fancy, but what does it actually mean? I was really curious about this, so I decided to dig into it. This is what I did. First, I tried to find out where this word comes from. Turns out, it’s Hawaiian. I didn’t even know that before I started looking into it! Then, I started to search for what it’s all about. And it’s not just a word, it’s like, this super long chant, or poem, or song. Like, really long. It tells the whole…

Okay, here is my sharing about “Christina’s World Image”. So, I saw this “Christina’s World” image thing today and wanted to mess around with it. First off, I just looked it up to see what it was all about. Turns out, it’s a pretty famous painting. I grabbed a copy of the image, which was just a regular JPG file, nothing fancy. You know, the kind you can open up on pretty much any device. I started playing around with it. I tried a bunch of things, like I read…

Okay, so today I was scrolling through the internet, and I stumbled upon this artist named Andy Warhol. I’d heard the name before, but I didn’t really know much about him. So, I decided to do a little digging and see what he was all about. Who is Andy Warhol? First things first, I needed to figure out who this guy was. A quick search told me he was a big shot in the pop art movement back in the 1960s. Apparently, he was known for his colorful paintings of…

Okay, so I was feeling a bit of a history buff the other day and thought, “Why not dive into the whole 300 Spartans thing?” You know, the classic tale of Leonidas and his brave warriors holding off the massive Persian army at Thermopylae. I mean, who doesn’t love a good underdog story, right? So I figured I’d read up on it, not just watch the movie again. First things first, I needed some books. I didn’t want anything too academic or dry. Something that would tell the story but…

So, I really got into this thing about Hadrian and Antinous. You know, the Roman emperor and his, uh, special friend? Yeah, it’s quite a story. I spent a whole weekend digging into it. First, I just googled their names, like anyone would. Found out that Antinous was this young guy from Bithynia, born around 110 CE. And Hadrian, he was one of the big-shot Roman emperors, the fourteenth one, ruling from 117 to 138 CE. Then I started looking up more about Hadrian. Turns out, he’s known as one…

Alright, so today I was looking for something cool to hang up in my office. I was thinking, why not a poster of good ol’ Theodore Roosevelt? He’s got that rugged, go-getter vibe that I really dig. So I decided to get a poster of him. First thing, I grabbed my laptop and started searching online. Typed in “Theodore Roosevelt poster” and tons of stuff popped up. Some were kinda boring, just plain old pictures, but then I saw one with some of his famous quotes on it. I thought…

Okay, so, I gotta tell you about this little project I did. I made a mini Parthenon! You know, that super old building in Greece? Yeah, that one. I’ve always thought it looked cool, so I thought, why not try to make one myself? First off, I had to figure out what I was gonna use to build it. I mean, I could’ve gone all out and used stone, but that seemed like a bit much. In the end, I found some craft kits on a shop and decided they…

Okay, here is my sharing about “black and pink art”: So, I started this whole thing with a pretty simple idea. I saw some cool stuff online where people were mixing black and pink in their art, and I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I mean, I’ve always been into drawing and painting, but this was a bit different. Black and pink…it’s got this vibe, you know? Edgy but also kinda soft. First, I gathered my stuff. I dug out my old sketchbooks, some canvases I had lying…
