Flash Fiction
Don’t give up on yourself even when life is going down a dark path. Don’t let all the negative energy get the best of you, to the point you see no point in trying with anything anymore, and you just completely shut down. Don’t let stress and anxiety take control, you got this. You have to keep going, and moving forward because if you give up you will regret it, truly. Keep trying and trying, push yourself to be the best you can be because that's all you can do. Whenever life hits you with a bunch of bullshit, build off it. Don’t let it put you in the dark. Remember you are capable of getting through it because you know are strong. You know you will feel a big rush of relief once you overcome what you thought you couldn’t even compete with. You will feel yourself light up again. Don’t give up.
Artist Statement
Life can be hard at times, and it can really take a toll on your whole mindset. When everything that is coming at you  just begins to drown you in stress, it’s hard to want to keep going. You feel so in the dark But you have to, you can’t give in and let the negativity win and black out who you are because at the end of the day there is always going to be negativity in the air. You must remain strong and do everything you can to beat the stress, it will feel way more better then giving up. Once you get past all the bad stuff you thought you couldn’t you will feel amazing.
My self- portrait and fast-fiction work together well. As you see in the photo my face is just about to go all the way in the dark, but I refuse to let it. The dark resembles all the stress, and I can’t let it cover my whole face because that would be me letting the stress win. Refusing to let the darkness cover my face means I’m not giving up, I’m going to get through it and nothing will stop the process of succeeding.





Reflection
I’d like to say I did a decent job on this project. I actually took the time to do the work and actually tried to do a good job. I for the most part stayed up to date with the planning sheet which made it less stressful for me. As for the rest of the year so far, I have been doing okay, kind of struggling to find time to do homework and other school work outside of school because I work a lot. I understand perspectives, personality, and bias pretty well, but I learned a lot about bias that I didn’t really know before.

Ultimately speaking what influenced my self-portrait the most was my own perspective and my own experiences. Once we started talking about the project I immediately had ideas come to me about how I would do it, but I knew right away what I wanted to use for my flash-fiction. I probably could’ve used better ideas than what I did but I like what I came up with, except it was hard to choose a good portrait idea so I kind of just winged it a little and it worked for me.

Love and Passion

Flash Fiction And Artist Statement               Why? Why did you hit the ball so hard? What would you expect to happen? Why didn’t you listen? If you would have listened you would’ve probably not regret it. You hit that ball so hard over the net that day you couldn’t believe it. You were doing so well, you scored your team a goal, it made you feel loved hearing your teammates cheer and your family cheer. But when you walked to that penalty spot and hit that ball over the net you didn’t feel love anymore. You blamed yourself. When your captain told you if you wanted to take the penalty you could have said no. You wanted to prove yourself because people look down on you but you just proved that your just a mess up. You thought everyone was disappointed in you. You cried after the game because this is the sport you love and have a passion for. You felt empty. You lost your confidence. Professional players miss penalties. Don’t worr...

Self Conscience

Kaleb Wiebel You know, you should really stop arguing with yourself all the time. You must realize at some point that you’re probably the only person who thinks like this. At least it’s how you think in those rare instances when you decide to put any amount thought into something. Even then, you might not even decide to have a filter between your mouth and your brain. You do understand how stupid that makes you look right? Hey. Hey! You’re not even listening, are you? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------                 My piece depicts two faces in, what I intended to be, a one-sided argument. The face on the right is quite clearly the one doing the arguing, as he yells, mouth agape, eyes shut with frustration, at the face on the left, who appears calm, yet uncaring, disinterested even, in what the other has to say. The...
