Junior Level: Elementary
I like to play like Roblox and minecraft. I like to watch anime sometimes. I like to be a future game designer. I am good with tech. My favorite lunch food is ramen. My favorite color is blue.
I want to help my mom pay the bills so she can relax a little bit more.
First, I decided to make Godzilla, I tried to use metal wires but didn't turn so good. It was a little but fun. It was tiring creating my art. I wanted to go back in my room to watch YouTube for the rest of the day, but I have to make my art. I had fun making my art. It was a little difficult to work with the clay. The details were hard to create. My hand hurt. It took me 10 days to make it but it was worth it and i learned a lot.
Artist Statement:
I attended workshop 1 with Mr. Gary Yip. I made Godzilla to represent taxes, bills, and debts, and being chased by Godzilla is like being chased by bills and debts and it's scary and stressful. Financial Education will help them learn how to deal with taxes, bills, and debts so they can feel less stressed and scared.
