Our Spring Final!!!



I searched hard and long for the best cat and the suit that would look the most amazing on him.
I then thought it wasn't enough...
I must have a gangsta teacup pig!! With a toy gun of course.


Thank you for an amazing year and being an amazing teacher, I'm glad to have been in your class. Never was I ever bored in this class and for that I thank you

Have a great summer and don't injure your thighs!!

So I looked up my name and everything came up in Russian, Estonian, and or Hungarian. That's because Kokora is such an obscure last name. Not joking in the slightest. We honestly have no idea where we are from. My mother's maiden name in Glynn and that name is easy to pinpoint. That's a common Irish name(my grandparents are Irish immigrants). So Kokora has an origin of one of the three above.. Meaning we are unsure...

Nursery Rhyme


Based off "Wise Old Owl"

A small scared child sitting down below
the more he hurts the less he'll show
his little voice just can't be heard
for pain would come with every little word

Alternatives to Photoshop

http://graffiticreator.net/
This website was a ton of fun to play with and it's easy to use and adjust colors. However, I didn't like the lack of customization possible and not being able to add a personal touch to the artwork. ALso this is just me but I wasn't able to type in Japanese they only allowed English.

I got a little too much amusement out of this one with the wide variety of brushes to play with. EVen if you don't really draw it's crazy entertaining to watch. Color choice slightly limited but none the less fun to watch.

It was easy to make cool custom flowers and make the petals different colors. This one, however, was really limited to just being able to create flowers but that was the intention of this tool

Re-Cover

Re-Cover



2) 
   The book The Group isn't extremely graphic in any sense. It's very simple. As you can see it's a circle with eight white flowers on the inside. For it's content the cover is an extreme understatement. For a book that covers such strong struggles for the women in the 1930's that have even carried over into the 21st century. This book's cover is extremely plain. The font looks like the font I use to write my research papers for school.

3) 
   The Group by Mary McCarthy is about eight young women that have all graduated from Vassar College. As they go on in life each of their stories are told. The strong overtone is this book is the issue of sexism. Women have always been told what to and what not to do with their bodies. In the 1930s, when this book takes place, sexism and social inequality was even worse than it is now(shocking I know). I mean these are the days where being a 'disobedient' wife will get you thrown into a mental hospital(which happens to character Kay Strong). The taboo of being anything other than heterosexual. Double standards out the wazoo due based around the topic of infidelity. In which men can go around doing whatever the please but the moment women think about anything in relation to the topic. For fiction it definitely contains stories of what can possible happen in a world that seems to be very against women
   The contents of the book is hard to pin down due to the interweaving of each of these women's stories. Elinor Eastlake(Lakey) struggles to have the other girls accept the fact that instead of a husband she went the lesbian lover route. Dotty Refnew was forced by a man she was pursuing to get fitted for a diaphragm. Kay Strong goes through a multitude of heartbreak with her husband continuously having extramarital affairs. Many other conflicts happen and for the most part the book is serious while still remaining entertaining. The end however is especially saddening. I'm not going to tell you because that would be a spoiler

4) This is my modern cover
