Jonathan’s first week in the city has been thrilling, but, he says, it’s flown by.

On Finishing Up at the IIAC

It was great. I had so much fun. I received a $500 scholarship and made lifelong friends.

As my favorite art project, I made a dress out of bubble wrap, a t-shirt, and a screen.

 

On Chicago

This city is crazy. Last week, it was raining so hard that my umbrella went inside-out. No wonder they call it the Windy City. Sometimes it takes me 30 minutes to get a taxi and there was even a train delay of three hours due to tornado warnings. I love the city, though, and am so glad to be here.

On the Next Three Weeks

I couldn’t be more excited to start my three weeks at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I’m having such a good time and am learning so much.
