The Artist Statement


My physics project is a Christmas tree. I chose a Christmas tree because Christmas is a very special holiday to me. I look forward to this holiday every year, and it’s not just for the presents( that’s a plus). I just love having family time. My family usually gets together on almost every big holiday.  When my family get’s together I feel happy and I’m in a much better mood. Last Christmas I spent my Christmas with my Grandparents because they are getting really old and my Grandfather has been sick. I had a blast there! We played Monopoly, ate delicious food, and just talked about how each one of us will end our year. In the Christmas scene project the message I am trying to convey is that you don’t need a lot of presents to have an Happy Holiday. That is why there is only one present under the tree, the real presents is the happy memories you make. A present can only last you some time, a happy memory can possibly last you a lifetime. This topic/theme shows that my favorite time is family time, this shows that life it not always what you receive but what you put out. In conclusion I would like to leave you with a quote by Thomas S.Monson.

Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values.

Thomas S. Monson


This choker is important to me because it used to belong to my great great grandmother. I met my great great grandmother when I was four years old and she was such a funny person. I don’t remember too much but, I remember her telling me lots of jokes and I would crack up and laugh so hard (I don’t remember the joke). All I remember is laughing so hard that I made her laugh even harder than I was laughing. That was the only time I saw her. I only got to see her three times in my life but, that’s the only time I remember seeing her. This choker that I have belonged to her. She had this choker since she was my age. A few months ago I received this choker from my grandmother and she told me how this choker was my great great grandmothers. As soon as she told me it was from my great great grandmother I immediately remembered who she was. The reason this choker is so significant to me is because it belonged to my great great grandmother. She was very important to me. She lived to a very old age. The fact that I got to see her and that I remembered her shows how significant she was to me. I was only four years old when I saw her and that was a very long time ago and most kids don’t even remember a lot from that age. You never know when you might lose somebody close to you in your life. Even though me and my great great grandmother weren’t that close the significance of the choker resembles a piece of her. Every time I have it on it takes me back to the first and last time that I saw and met my great great grandmother. To conclude this choker is important to me because it resembles my great great grandmother and  she was someone who was important and significant to me.


In conclusion we would like to say that we both love our family very much and we treasure the smiles, laughs, and happy memories of our family. Our project has an connection, Autumn’s project was about the love she has for her family and how she treasures the happy memories they share, Kemet’s projects is on receiving a present and how that one item she was given from her great great Grandmother, reminds her of the happy and treasured memories she shared with her. Both of our families are important and significant with  another. These projects mean a lot to both of us, the message that is conveyed throughout each project is strong and meaningful. We treasure the memories because it’s the only thing that will last.
