I transferred all the pieces out of Graduate studios, and it difficult. The conclusion is not

to be afraid of difficulty. All along while I built these prominent pieces, it was in the back of my

mind how would I transfer them? I took them to the storage, I am satisfied they are in a safe

place, undisturbed, sleeping giants in the winter rain. I am at peace; it all worked out, and I am
ready to accomplish more, one step at a time.99..

The impossible happens, and I gained the strength to do great work with God’s help. Renting car

or truck businesses do not rent trucks with a hydraulic lift for personal use. It seemed impossible

to get a commercial vehicle with a Tommy lift because I needed a driver, A license, and a

business to rent it for me. I found one small truck at the last minute, and the move was

miraculously safe. What happens next? I evaluate, my best bet is to get a class A license, so I can

rent a truck with the help of business to exhibit my work out of town.

I need a bigger truck with a hydraulic lift with no grooves and longer in size. I never measured
the right size, and the statues would not clear doors of storage, they had to lay back to pass
through.

I was delighted I reinforced the coils for transferring them, ahead of time and after the Show.

I am subject to be evaluated by others for the Mayan Folklore and symbolism I presented
in my Solo master Show at Graduates Master Studios at M street Oct 3, 2019.100 I accomplished
all I set out to do, with help from my committee, Chairman Martin Valencia, Master Coordinator
Stephanie Ryan, and our Dean Honora Chapman.

They all supported me in many ways until the end. Gallery technician Chris Lopez did an
incredible job of producing labels and curating the show.

He brought Professional Photographer Niclaus Cook to take magnificent photos of the
work, that convey space. I filmed last month with Fresno State Humanity specialist Benjamin
Kirk, the process of my work at M street Complex gallery studios. He published my art in Fresno
State Blog.

Outreached kids from Discovery Center came to build clay with me after show and networked
with Professor Sallie Saiz from Fresno City College. I contacted Arte Americas Exhibitors.

Foundations invited to go to M street Graduate Studios. Other Institutions like Avenal
Prison requested Chancellor in Long Beach. I reached the school District and other gallery
sponsors, Art-hop venue community, Faculty, and students of Fresno State. Dissemination
included posters and invitations all over town, Madden Library, and bulletin boards. Public
Production Media, YourCentralValley.com KSEE24 | CBS47 put me on the Local News, and

PBS filmed a feature of Maya Monuments show to post this week. Fresno Arts Council emailed

my poster to their Art hop list as well as helped me design posters.

My Master Committee Member Professor Artist/Designer Joan Sharma is an expert in

snakes. She advised me about final touches for the master’s Show and infused me on her vitality.

I contacted CCA to critique my show. I accomplished the dissemination of multicultural

diversity at Fresno State. Published my CV at website anabella.info and encouraged Public

Giving. I have experience with how I can help other graduates to develop their Projects. I want to

help at Fresno State Day of giving and Blog. I am academically rooted and bound in writing a

thesis that represents my ideas about my work as a whole. The purpose of this thesis is to

describe a group counseling model based on the indigenous. medicine wheel as well as Maya's

philosophy to bring balance in lives through establishing goals and steps to accomplish these

goals. The authors call this model the Goal Wheel.
I am very excited the concept of the Cardinal Wheel was shared by the News in Fresno101

gathered the medicine Mayan Wheel with manifestation of Sacred Wheel of the Native
American tribes, and it is in North Mesoamerica and South Mesoamerica. Trade routes

A God’s eye I made, I was wondering to add mixed media and also burlap because it is

an organic material used by poor people in the Third world since Colonial times. This photo

shows the rawness of the process. The purpose of this article is to describe a group counseling

model based on the indigenous medicine wheel as well as natives. Philosophy by w and balance

in their lives, through establishing goals and sequential steps to accomplish these goals. The

authors call this model the Goal Wheel.

The Cardinal Cross represents the four directions of the sky in Mayan Art. Still, this idea

has spread by commerce between North Mesoamerica and South Mesoamerica trade routes

manifest as the Medicine Wheel of the Native American tribes. It is a healing God’s wheel, like a

God’s eye to bring shamanistic healing to all nations that gather (Tedlock, 1975) gives credence

to the accuracy of Mayan shamanism; he does not back away from the world view but presents

himself as a believer or PowWow. Mayan Monuments express the idea of unity in the center of

circle call Sacred Space where all people can call on ancestors and deities of their own belief, to

manifest and guide us, is necessary to spread these cosmological ideas and art in the schools.

What I learned from the beginning is that culture is ritual practices that manifest their

symbols of worship. There is a place in the center in Aphuai Culture, a place to be heard. The

Aphuai Indians have a place in the center, and people go there when speaking their minds.

Children have their place to play.

These practices develop trust in the culture by the members of the tribe. When there is no

trust in a culture, crazy Fiesta celebrations 103happen. People let steam out to become whomever

they want and break all l and moral rules consuming drinks until intoxication.

Why are there differences? Is because there is confusion in the meaning of symbols. A

child develops two sides within himself that contradict in nature. One evil, one good, the sides of

personality are fighting each other.

In conclusion, the classes I took at Fresno State Art Department allowed me to put into

practice the knowledge I learned in Seminars with Professors. To express my gratitude, I made

two leather burnings pyro graphic Portraits.
