"artify yourself!"

We want to start a movement on an island called "Artify Yourself!" to make anything into art. To reach our objectives, Mad Studio offered workshops to children and adults on creating art (whether to learn how to draw, paint, or do digital work). The newest workshop was funded in Fall 2019 by Guam CAHA and hosted by John F. Kennedy High School for high school students, "Interactive Mural." This was a four-week workshop held Monday through Saturday for interested participants in November. The workshop focused on creating large murals that allow people to interact with the The final product was a Guam Rail and Lizard.

project description

We are starting a movement called "Artify Yourself!" The premise is simple. Let's make anything art again! Modern society has been so fixated with technology and leisure that art is becoming unappreciated and ignored. I want to bring back the value of art and the creativity of the artist's mind. Following the concepts of our predecessors during the Fantasy and Surrealist era, the common goal for the "Artify" movement is to introduce a fusion of imagination and reality into artworks. Once we artists begin to achieve this, then we will make our imagination truly realized. To participate in this movement, our artist participants will brand their pieces with the "Fully Artified" stamp of approval.

Next year, 2025, I will be introducing uniquely designed clothing apparel and merchandise for the "Artify Yourself!" movement. Below are some deisgn ideas.
