1) is a drawing of Derrick Rose (before his injuries 😭)
2) is a charcoal, still-life drawing and
3) is a drawing of the holiest site on Earth according to the Islamic tradition, the Kabah in Mecca.
These drawing are amazing! All 3 of them are great but the second one makes my mind wonder. A wooden figure, an instrument and a time piece. What does it mean? What was on your mind as you drew this? Something I always tend to think about when looking at art is what the artist had on their minds at the time of making their creations. About what drives their creativity.
I'll be honest right off the bat. I was not as impressed by the movie as I was made to be. Meaning, the movie was overhyped for me, so I went into it waiting for an unimaginable twist or a mind-blowing event, but the movie ended by then. Had I gone in with lower expectations, I'm certain I would have loved the experience more because, don't get me wrong, it was an amazing movie! Cinematics, plot, acting, and soundtrack were all captivating and impressive! My one advice to the person who hasn't watched this movie it to go into the experience with lower expectations and you will truly enjoy it.
MIST Chicago, also known as the "Muslim Inter-Scholastic Tournament," is an annual event that brings many MSA clubs at different schools together in a competitive environment. The weekend-long event includes competitions like Basketball, Quiz Bowl, Short Film, 3-D Art, and much more. In my high school years, I competed in various competitions such as 2D Art, Spoken Word, and Nasheed, which is a type of religious singing that involves only vocals. It was always such a great experience because it was such a powerful way for me to get creative and grow as a singer, Muslim, and even a person. Now that I'm out of high school, I wanted to participate in MIST in a different way. This year, I was given the honor to judge some of the competitions that I once competed in. It was interesting to see the next generation of students become so involved, excited, and nervous to compete, and it reminded me a lot of myself when I was in their shoes.
