​I want people and future historians to remember Lee Archer Jr.  I want them remember him for the breakthroughs he made for African-Americans. Lee Archer flown with the famous Tuskegee Airmen during World War II. Archer flown in 169 combat missions including bomber escort, reconnaissance, and ground attacks. Also, Lee Archer made history when he shot down 5 enemy planes which made him become America’s first black ace in the P-51 Mustang which is shown on the back wall.  After the war, Lee Archer earned awards such as the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Congressional Gold Medal which is also shown in the back wall. The table with pills on the back wall signifies the illness & death of Lee Archer Jr on January 27th, 2010.

Surrounded by family, but still alone.

Posted by Zion Gonzalez in ART 9 - Hertz - e2 on
    The memoir means that I have a lot of family, yet I am surrounded by the same people I am always with. In Philly I should be able to always all the family that I have. Though I can't, I find myself usually in my house or just not seeing them. It's not that I don't want to see all of them. I just can't, I can't drive to them, I can't get dropped to them. That is why I put a lot of things near the head of the bed. the reason why is to show that I spend time in my room instead of being with family. Another thing is that I reflected heavily on my own room.

Caffeine and Its Effects

Posted by Adam Bennett in ALGEBRA 2 - Houwen - D on
​ You get up in the morning and have a cup of coffee which is your daily routine, but have you ever stopped and think about how much caffeine is in that cup of coffee. No, because your'e too busy enjoying the white chocolate mocha from Starbucks.  
The lowest amount of caffeine that can be present in your body to feel its effects is 32-200mg. Caffeine is a stimulant which raises nervous activity in the body. Each hour your body eliminates 13% caffeine from your body after initial intake. So while you are having your coffee think about the effects of stomach irritation, vomiting, increased heart rate, and nervousness. 
For this example, we will look at the intake of Sunkist in the span of 24 hours and how much caffeine is in my body. I documented this from May 26th at 6:00am. Screenshot 2016-06-02 at 11.19.54 PM.png
Examination of Graph
To come up with these results I used exponential functions. Exponential functions are functions where they have a constant base, a variable as the exponent that keeps changing, and the same base is being multiplied over and over again. 
The 3 equations I created from a chart where I documented my caffeine intake I came up with: 

41(.87)x-2 

51.19(.87)x-12 


79.75(.87)x-14 
The equations are presented in order from top to bottom as they are in the graph from left to right.  

Exponential functions are represented as y = abx where a is the amount of caffeine in your body after consuming your food/drink with caffeine, b is the constant which is 0.87 represented in the equations, the exponent x is the hours since 6:00am when on your first day. To figure out the equations you would plug in the time of your next consumption into the previous equation to get your variable a which is the amount of caffeine in your body afterc consuming your food/drink. 

Screenshot 2016-06-02 at 11.19.54 PM.png

Looking at the graph again we can see that was sleeping before the initial point starts on the x-axis. The graph is a funtcion. 

Y-intercept - y = 54.168

Asymptote -  x = 5

The importance of b - b > 1 the graph increases, 0 < b < 1 the graph decreases. 

Range - All Positive Real numbers

Domain - All real numbers

Should you stop consuming caffeine and when is the best time? Well after 200mg, it is probably best to stop because it can mess with you trying to sleep. Which is why people consume it in the morning. The best time to consume caffeine is in the morning because it is intended to keep you up. Do not drink more than 200mg at night because it can cause sleeping problems and nausea.

Project Synopsis.(Creature)

This Project is basically a clay sculpture that was put in a really hot oven and turned the clay into a glass like substance. I can’t myself tell you what it is because even I don’t know, this isn’t really an accurate representation of what it did look like because all three of it’s eyes fell off including its wings. The colors literally consist on what paint I could get my hands on.


Reflection:

I wanna say that I grew slightly, in terms of my artistic abilities this year. I thought that the freedom we had in class was nice, but personally I would have preferred a more teachy route in art class this year, on subjects such as anatomy, shading, perspective, ect. Throughout this year I stayed in my comfort zone and didn’t really try anything new. Though this art class did interest me enough to get me to start sketching on my free time again. Overall I think I didn’t grow as much as I wanted this year in terms of my art ability, but It did open up new opportunities for me to grow in the future.


Reflection/ Synopsis(Fallout Painting)

Though I don’t have a picture, I can say that the painting was done on a small poster board, with acrylic paint, it was a picture of fallouts poster boy called “vault boy” giving a thumbs up. I never got around to painting the skin before presentations, even though I didn’t present. The under arm of the suit the painting was wearing was yellow, while the suit itself was blue discluding a yellow streak in the middle. The outline was done with a black sharpie marker. I didn’t have any specific techniques while painting the painting other than clean short strokes of my paint brush




Reflection/Synopsis (Viewtiful Joe Drawing)

Yet again I don’t have a picture for this project, but just imagine a small man doing a pose with a red helmet and jumpsuit on. This was a regular drawing, basically I just drew really lightly with pencil on a piece of paper, little to no mistakes, then went over the outline with a black sharpie, finishing off the entire thing with different color markers.



What have you learned about making Art?

Since we weren’t taught like a traditional classroom, I can’t give you any professional answer, I can however tell you what I learned through the few projects that I did make ( in and out of the classroom). I learned that making art requires patience and repetition. I originally thought that everyone comes with natural talent in art and a few days of practice should suffice to becoming an effective artist, but I learned that you don’t get good overnight, and that you really need to practice over and over until it becomes natural and you don’t have to think about certain things when you draw something.


What have you learned about yourself through the projects you have created?

This isn’t something i've learned more as it’s something I knew and are reaffirming this trait, and that something is i’m lazy. I’m looking at my work and i’m realizing it could have been a lot better if i’d managed my time more. My being lazy prevented me from finishing the painting I started for the second quarter. It also made my first project mediocre. This also affects my drawings outside of school, as I’m to lazy to want to improve, so I stay contempt with what I have.


Which project you are most proud of and why?

I am most proud of the clay project I did, It’s the first picture I provided. I believe I titled it “Creature” The reason I am most proud of this project is because I moved out of my comfort zone for this project and it turned out better than expected. The picture unfortunately is of after it got beat up and I can’t put it back together but I am most proud of this project.


Your biggest weakness or area in need of growth has been this year?

I think my biggest weakness as stated in the previous question is my lack of motivation and laziness, I think if I apply myself a bit more I could have done a lot better in this class.


"What kind of Art you want to make next" and "What kind of Art inspires you the most and why?"

I want to do an animation next, not too complex. I want to keep it simple. I’d say that a minimalist style of drawing and art inspires me the most because they take so little and make really cool pictures out of it.

6 Word Memoir and One Point Perspective

Posted by Shaylyn Westmoreland in ART 9 - Hertz - a2 on

My memoir is, A body of rhymes bleed imagination. This memoir resembles my love for poetry and my imagination. This room has curved objects inside of it. This represents how my imagination bends and curves in weird ways. The mirror on the wall represents reflection, when I look into the mirror, I see whatever my eyes and brain perceives. To others I may look different. The chandelier represents how creative I am. The chandelier is small but it is the most beautiful piece in the room because it brightens up the space. This shows how I think the little details are important and valued.

Memoir: Nice clean room equals happy life

My mother would always pester me about my room and how clean it should be. This doesn't just happen to me it happened to my friends. So instead of happy wife happy life I decided to make it for kids who moms always are telling them to clean there room. So clean room will equal a happy life because your parents will stop bugging you. My room is neat and nice just like how my mom would want it and it looks like mine


One Point Perspective

Posted by Caylin Jusino in ART 9 - Hertz - e1 on

Phrase: Trapped behind the walls, Can’t escape.


Backstory: Someone I know feels like there is no where to go and traps how they feel inside. They want to break free but doesn’t know how or someone wouldn't know how to help them. They been trapped for a while and is giving up on breaking free because they can’t find any escape. In my picture it looks like a normal room but if u look at the door and the window you will see like a gate on the door and two looks on the window. This refers back to my six word memoir because it shows that there is no escape that they are trapped in the room. This person lost someone really important in there life and felt that with out that someone there wouldn't know what to do or how to live, and she didn't know who to talk to so they stayed to themselves

Art & Six Word Memoir

Posted by Samantha Green in ART 9 - Hertz - e1 on

Life is what you make it !

 
​If you choose to live a good life you’ll make good decisions , If you choose to live poorly you’ll make bad decisions life is what you make it everything has a consequence.Life is what you make it because if you do good and make good decisions for your future when you come home you’ll have a nice life and nice future it may not be a lot but its something you worked hard too earn. Life is what you make it because if you work hard for what you want in life you'll be able to have anything you want.If you make poor decisions for your lifestyle you won’t have a home that looks like below you may not have anything. The details that are in my room connect to my 6 word memoir because I feel as though this is a normal home in which a person isn't home all the time because they are to busy working hard for what they want so they have what they need but just don't really care as long as they have somewhere to stay Life is what they make it and if they want there home too look this way then so be it.

Clay Lumintang- Spiral Theodorus

Posted by Ekkleysia Lumintang in ART ADV - Hertz - d1 on
20160602_093431
20160602_093431
​The Process

Creating my spiral took a lot of precision. First I began making a right triangle, with Angle a and b to be both 1 inch. Then I connected them to make a full right triangle. Once that is done, I made another 1 inch line, connecting the previous triangle to start on the creation of the next. I keep that process going, until eventually it gradually increases in its hypotenuse and reaches its max.

Street Art

Posted by Indigo Burton in ART 9 - Hertz - a2 on
I've been intrigued by street art for some time now wondering if it was vandalism or art that meant something. My friends became interested too so we explored the internet in search for answers. We found that snod was a local street artist that liked to put inspirational quotes in his drawings. I then wanted to have a face of my own and that's how this picture came along. I decided I wanted it above eye sight so people would have to look up and really look at what I had there instead of it being some kind of vandalism. Since I've done this project I've realized that there is so much art on the streets that ivebeen missing

​Materials 
pencil 
protractor 

Step 1
I put a dot anywhere on the paper. After that I drew two 1 inch lines to form a right angle from the dot. Then I draw  line to connect the two 1 inch lines. When I did this it formed a right triangle. 

Step 2
After I created my first right triangle I put the dot that is located in the bottom middle of the protracted on top of my triangle highest peek, 

Step 3
After I made my make at 90 degrees. I the used the ruler at the bottom of the protractor to draw another  inch line aiming at the 90 degree mark. This line stemmed from the top of the hypotenuse on the original triangle I drew. 

My head’s messy, my room... clean.

I picked this because my mind is all over and my thoughts are as well. My room is clean and everything that’s mine in my room (I share with my sister) is clean. I have lights near the table because that's where I do my work. I have my bed nice and organized and my dresser is across from my bed. My sister likes go have her things all around the room so I usually clean them up. It is difficult sharing a room sometimes. Also, my head gets messy when I have a lot of work or something chaotic is going on. There is a lot of things I do to prevent my room from being messy like, cleaning up after I do something or I make my sister clean up after herself. I'm lucky because I have a big room so it honestly is not that difficult. It is more annoying than it does any harm. This is how my room looks and it describes me perfectly.


Vinyl Cutter

Posted by Talib Coffield-Zaboor in TECH (INTRO TO DESIGN MULTIMEDIA) - Hertz - d2 on
This project, this instructional video was nothing but fun to me! Throughout this process it seemed to me that we would never get through with it because we couldn't get the cutter to work properly. We both were beginners with this machine, so we couldn't exactly figure out how to work it. During this video though it came easier to us because we was basically used to it. We made a tiny mistake during this video, but we figured the issue out and moved on with it. This project was fun one because we it was really a journey( like literally ) so I am proud that we can both say we know how to use this machine. Our initial goal was to make these posters so we can post them around school, but unfortunately we don't have enough time. We still succeeding with achieving the small task, so for that I am proud.

Instructional video

Posted by Robert Lemley in TECH (INTRO TO DESIGN MULTIMEDIA) - Hertz - d2 on
I decided to do my video on how to use the chop saw. The chop saw was the first tool I used in the maker space. I used it to make the peg of our trashketball hoop. I did this video because i would see people use the chop saw incorrectly. so I though I would make an instructional video on how to use it properly. the only thing I saw that people weren't doing right was not leaving the blade inside the wood until the blade stopped. it took me about a whole class period to make this video. thanks to capture cast. capture cast is an extension were it automatically uploads and records videos for you. this was a very educational project. I earned how to use a new extension, and I look forward to using it again for some other project. 

How to use Wevideo By:Tsion Tucho

Posted by Tsion Tucho in TECH (INTRO TO DESIGN MULTIMEDIA) - Hertz - d2 on

This video is the first step to getting to know wevideo and learn how to use it. The video that I have made is very simple and it is for first time user. I use Wevideo when I want to make an informative video especially for projects. It is very simple and if I forget some tips I can click on help and automatically there would be a person explaining the process which some websites don't do. The only bad thing about Wevideo is you have to pay if you want your video to be more than 7 minutes and 30 seconds, you have to upgrade. Also, you only get that amount of minutes once a month. What I did to accomplish this video screenshot every step that would take. The process was very simple because I got to know more about Wevideo in the past years so, every step that I made is what I am an expert in.  Wevideo is easy to use for anyone who wants to make a simple, easy, and cheap video.
