The Mary Ward Art Show has always been one of the biggest events at school. Everyone always buys a ticket, and everyone always goes. It’s like one of those things that you absolutely cannot miss. I think it’s even bigger than the annual play. This year's show was called Eco or Echo. All art students made pieces of art that were either made out of eco-friendly materials, or delivered an eco-friendly message. I actually had my pieces (not only for media) displayed in the show this year, and I must say, they turned out a lot better than I thought they would. I didn’t get a chance to sign up for security in media, but I did do security for design. Although I probably spent at least 12 hours doing security altogether, it was actually pretty fun for me. I didn’t take art in grade nine so I've never experienced doing security before. I signed up with my friends so that I wouldn’t be completely bored out of my mind and it was also an easy way of getting quest units, which helped me finish my course. Also, having the live music there kind of took my mind off of the boring aspect of doing security.
Now, let me tell you a story. So in design, we made these chairs made out of cardboard that visiting students were not allowed to sit in. The tour guide people were supposed to remind them not to sit in the chairs so I guess these students forgot to tell them. So when the students from other schools came, one of them asked their own teacher-supervisor if he could sit in the chair. Now this particular person clearly did not care for others' artwork and carelessly told him that he could, without asking security. So I walk past and the kid is just about to sit in the chair. Before he sits down, I tell him that he’s not allowed to sit in it. So he gets up, loses his balance, and crushes the cardboard wall behind him, and almost knocks over the chair. It was tragic. He almost destroyed everything. And also I think this was in the middle of week, so it stayed like that for the rest of the week. Fortunately the damage wasn’t too bad, and no one really noticed.
Overall, my first experience of being in the art show was great, and I can’t wait for next year. This year was great and I hope that the art show next year will be even better.

lols...wow someone actually messed up something. well i shouldn't be one to talk. on the first day (tuesday) when i went to see it, this person who made their clay thing in design was like "it has an openable lid" for their work so i went to open it and when i was about to close it, i dropped it on the ground. since it was clay i thought it would shatter and i just closed my eyes and waited for the shatter. it was like a bomb was going to go off! but then it just bounced and i was like...woow weird thing. then i put it back and ran out of design! btw you should add some photos of the work!
