Decision tree

sister and I were putting up ornaments onto the tree as my mom was organizing the lights out of the big, blue, plastic box with a grey piece of duct tape labeled “Lights.” There was evergreen tree sent in the air along with the Heffron Family Cheesecake cooking in the oven. We were listening to a new version of “Santa Baby” by the country artist Kelly Pickler. My sister and I spent more time singing and dancing to the song than decorating the tree. This part of the season is a major part of my…

When I first learned about the mid term project I did not think about what relationship I wanted to do the project on until I was talking to my roommate about home. I realized that I wanted to do my project on my mom who reminds me of home all the time. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to do with this until I saw some of the other presentations on the first day and that is where I discovered my inspiration and that night I worked on my first art piece.

When I looked to the other side, I almost fell over. There stood a young boy admiring the beauty of lights and ornaments coming together with the natural wonder of a tree. Right next to him was a little girl, slightly older, but still a child. Both amazed by the balance of nature and man-made objects that was their Christmas tree. Later on that day as things were beginning to wind down in my new home, I heard Christmas music playing in the background. As the Christmas spirit hovered in the…
