“It’s through mistakes that you actually can grow. You have to get bad in order to get good.” – Paula Scher
I always love to put my imagination into the pencils. I love cartoons especially anime. I’ve never feel exasperate when I am with my art. I can sit all days long to draw and color. Because of my loyalty toward art, I don’t hesitate to grab any art opportunities. I want to get more experiences with different techniques.
Besides, I also like reading comics, I have the plan to make my own comic draft too.
Writing the sentences with corrects verb tense is very important. It uses to recognize the situations is happening in the past, future or present. Because English is our second language and our language (Khmer) doesn’t have the words that change into past tense, it’s really hard to learn and remember the concept.
To practice writing things in past tense, we have a document called “Journal” where we pick a topic to write include the challenge ( 15 verbs in past tense).
This is one of my Journal.

Journal: Write short story (in past tense) using at least 15 verbs
Fear of Ghost
I was afraid of the ghost since I was young. My cousins really liked to scare me when I visited them on the holiday. One day, I went to my grandmother’s house because she was sicked. The sky was so dark and only the big red moon appeared. The dogs barked along the wind that blew across the driving road to the pagoda. The light turned off because of the thunder and lighting. The only thing that luminated the house was the red candles. I stayed in the middle of 8 shadows of my relatives. There were my father, mother, aunt, uncle, grandmother, and the other 3 cousins. No one had a chance to sleep because the kids were afraid of ghost including me. My cousins wanted my father to tell the ghost story. Then he began with many types of ghosts.
There was an opportunity from Jo (our old art facilitator). The competitions required the competitors to create a few types of creative art under the theme of “The Inner me”. I was not the chosen one but it was a good experience. However, I was happy for my two friends who can go to Australia and explore the art there.
This is the pictures of my team that was making this apsara. We use plastics, cans, been, rice and other recycle things.
On the maker faire we had so many art activities like: bubble paint, drawing anime, free painting, bracelet and origami live music. I had notice that they afraid of drawing because they scared other people will judge on their drawing. Also some of the students said they didn’t have any art class. Our challenge are, there were so many people came and visited us but we didn’t have enough place for them.
Including to this maker faire, they had maker faire competition. There are five challeges that the students must complete on. There were six liger’s students got into the final and the rest were random.
We did the challenge by present to them about our product in khmer, english or both.
