Looking at the Geometric Abstract Painting
Oct 12th
There is a type of abstract painting that can be viewed as geometric because its main subject or focus is the use of straight lines or geometric shapes that are solid and defined. These abstract paintings are defined by lines and geometric shapes such as squares, cubes, triangles and the like. They seem a combination of shapes and lines to make a picture of something more, something that transcends the original structure. The beauty found here is in the word transcendental, if one looks closer one can view this type of abstraction as a combination of forms to transcend their original form. Look at it as a building block that becomes something bigger and bigger until it becomes something that is beautiful and different at the same time. Other geometric abstract paintings are simpler, as they are defined merely by a shape and nothing more and emphasizes a more two dimensional aspect of art.
Part of the Lost Property
Aug 1st
A name badge can be used to identify students belongings while in boarding school. This is because pilfering is very common and chances of getting the lost item back can be nil if it does not have a name tag. Also since not all students come from the same background it may be more tempting for some students to make off with the things of their colleagues. Here a name badge must be permanent and able to last throughout the school years, many times some parents choose to stitch on the name tag on cloths so that that can withstand frequent washes without wear and tear. It is always recommended that a name tags be placed on all school items long before the student leaves for school. This practice can save many parents the added headache of keeping on buying a new set of school items every semester throughout school.

Narrowing Down Choices from the Many Different Window Treatment Ideas
May 21st
My sister got married recently and she is so happy considering that she married such a responsible and generous man. As a marriage gift, her husband bought her a new house without her knowing; she was really touched. In return, she promised to him that she will take care and decorate it herself. But since she hasn’t done any renovation, remodeling or interior decorating on her own, she secretly called and asked for my help. The house has a lot of huge windows and she cannot seem to make up her mind because she encountered different window treatment ideas. I told her that she better think about what is the main purpose of the treatment; is it to block out the sun, for privacy, or decorative statement? From then, I added that she can already narrow down her choices and then proceed to choosing the style and color. She was grateful for my help but she also asked me if I could help her pick out furnishings as well. Naturally, I said yes, she is my sister and I will help any way I can.
