CREATIVITY 18/12/2018 - painting

Sometimes, when I'm busy studying, I see an unfinished canvas in the corner of my room. I started to paint it around January 2018, when one of the assignments on WOK (Knowledge of Culture) was to paint abstraction. It was such a creative task I couldn't stop thinking about how wonderful it was to mix colors, distribute them and just create something that is truly mine.

I decided to paint another painting, but only for myself. I didn't finish it in January, so when I had some spare time I decided to take my brushes and oil paint from the shelf in my room and paint a little bit.

I decided to use as much red as I could, as red represents power and strength. However, I also used white to create pale red and pink to create some kind of variety and to show that power is not flawless - everyone is weaker sometimes.

Moreover, I decided to use a canvas that I had painted on when I was 10. I didn't spend too much money on my painting activity and therefore didn't produce more waste.

It was relaxing and I hope I'll finish this painting soon.

CREATIVITY, ACTIVITY 02/12/2018 My trip to Kraków

It was the best idea I could have with my father! I and my dad decided to have a very intensive Sunday. He read about the Stanisław Wyspianski's exhibition in Kraków National Museum and we together decided to see it... But living in Warsaw, how could we do it? Go there! We departed from Central Railway Station in Warsaw around 6am. It was really early, but it was all worth it. Firstly, I could see a city that is so famous for being beautiful and I heard a lot about Krakow being the pearl of polish tourism. I was unfortunately negatively surprised by the amount of garbage on the streets and the air pollution that I could feel breathing. I am aware that Warsaw is not perfect, however... I could feel it was cleaner. Nevertheless, I feel like I opened for a different Poland. Kraków with its art, magnificent architecture was inspirational. Moreover, I did more than 20 kilometers walking and trekking around Kraków, as I had seen wonderful places such as Wawel, Stare Miasto, Suk...

22/09/2018 SERVICE Help on the student’s body event - celebrating 100th anniversary of Batory High School It was such an amazing day. My dear friends organized an event that celebrated the anniversary of Batory and being there and helping was one of the best memories I could ever have! My job was to help with food - as we had BBQ&Grill. I prepared the meat, grilled (it was really hot near there!) and basically just make people that came to our event have fun and create an opportunity for them to be happy - it’s all about happiness, isn’t it? Moreover, I learned that managing even a small group of people that we don’t know very well might be challenging - but I think I did a pretty good job! It also showed me that school and activities connected with it can be an interesting experience and that we have to cherish every moment that we can spend together with friends and family. It was all about caring and having good time.
