Doodle Art

IMG_5852.JPG

For my art project I would like to try out doodle art. Doodle art is when you doodle but add more detail to make it look nice and creative. I chose to doodle because I find myself doodling all the time and I like it. In the picture above I just did a little something. I drew hearts and pounds all over the paper and close together as a sketch. I did this type of doodle before and I like it. 

The Cost of Higher Education

My infographic explains how expensive higher education is in the United States. I hope that people will see how hard it is for high schoolers to afford college and to see how our costs here in the United States compare with those of our neighbors, Canada and Mexico. I think it's important that people know how saddled young people are with debt when they graduate from college these days.

This is just a drawing of what I am going to make on my actual art piece. My actual art piece is canvas stitching, so this piece will obviously be made out of yarn and a canvas grid. I have done this experiment before when I was younger so I am familiar with these materials. However, because I was younger and haven't picked up the tools in a while I may have a different feeling. I know this is something that I had enjoyed doing and that it was why I chose to try it out again. 

Bullying Can't Hold You Back

During middle school years many children experience bullying, during this process it can force the young teens to isolate themselves and even become self-conscious teens that begin to hate and self-harm themselves. I chose this picture because it represents bullying in a fact of slowly killing the person by choking which can actually happen to people in reality.

​On the top picture I tried to draw a tree. It is a terrible excuse for a tree but on my project it will be much better. On the bottom picture I tried to blend some fall colors together. That was a sad mistake to so my project will be much better. 

Trying Out Still Life

still life blog draft
For my art research, I researched still life art. We tried out still life last year, but this time I want to try it out more in depth. For my picture I sketched out a tree from a picture. I couldn't really experiment with shading and three dimensions since it was a two dimensional picture. So i sketched to the best of my ability a tree. 

Creative Crayon Experiment

I practiced melting crayons to see how it will turn out when I do my project. I used a few broken crayons that no one will use. I used card stock to melt the crayons upon. This is a thicker, more durable version of paper. Then, I used the blow dryer to melt the crayons together. I tried to aim the blow dryer at certain angles so that the colors would melt together but not too much.

Shirin Akhter Blog Post

This unit was about expressing ourselves individually & in a group by making a video. It was also about how people can express themselves in different ways with different things in their videos. Our video gave a look into how people with different interests and backgrounds can manage to get along. Our video also showed several ways in which we interacted with each other.


2b. For each video, there had to be a certain topic to it. We had, “Fringed topics.” Since we had a tricky topic to work with, we had a difficult time making the video. We decided that we should just express ourselves in the video. After making the video, we looked at it together and found out that the video would reflect on fringed behavior rather than fringed interests.


2c. As explained in the previous paragraph, our topic was “fringed topics,” but we changed it around to make it fringed behavior. Key points & focuses of this topic were self-expression, honesty & interest in the actual assignment. After having writers block & collaborating, we finally decided to focus on the self-expression part.

Art of The Plate

I started experimenting with the clay by making a spoon. However, after a few tries, I gave up on it because it continued to break. It was a fun way of experimenting and it was a good way of working on my skill. I felt like I was good at it and it was an effective way of creating art. The only problem was making it so that the clay hardened and didn't break.

Quarter 1 Art Project

20150101152604
This is my work of art. Every since I was little I have liked astronomy. The idea of a place that one day we can visit if we push ourselves to find it. That's when I decided to make a solar system poster. When I was trying to find an idea through some solar system posters that some people have already made, I didn't really like their styles so i came up with my own. The planets are in a compass formation N, NW, W, SW, S, SE, E, NE surrounding the sun. That's what you might first notice, but I also added some Easter eggs. Each planet has its own special feature and therefore I added those things to each planet. For example Saturn has its signature rings. This project allowed me to open up to something that I have always wanted to do which is to draw the planets in their glory.  

Avoid Hackers!

I wanted to choose this photo because it is a reminder that you should always change your password to avoid your accounts being hacked by other people. In class we learned that website companies are constantly being hacked and can sometimes or always hack into your account so it is important that you change your password at least once a month.

How To Write Code For HTML

When we were assigned this project, students were suppose to pick an area of software or hardware in technology and explore the area we choose and teach ourselves about it. I decided that i wanted to learn how to write code and i choose to learn how to write HTML and code used for creating websites. The purpose of this project was for me to teach myself and learn the basics of writing HTML which is also what i hoped to have learned.

What i learned about HTML is that it is the most common code used for writing websites. I learned about how HTML is used to make the structure of a webpage and the functions used. I learned all of this on a coding website called "codeacademy.com". I feel as though the project was successful. I learned what i wanted to learn, however i could have learned more i just chose not too. A big part of my success on this project was code academy teaching me easily how to understand and write HTML. It didn't make things seem so complicated rather easy.

An example of what i learned was the p function. This is used to write paragraphs and put them on a webpage. Similar to the h1 function which is used for headings and sub titles.

So for part two it's actually an astronaut and I want the astronaut to be leading into one of the other images and I used 3 different shades of gray white and black paint individually as well. So far I've really enjoyed creating the project because in the Process I did acquire new skills. And I want to also include some asteroids in the background as well.

I am making a MUG as my quarter 2 project. By doing this I am starting to practice how to work with clay. Also I’m having an idea how to design my MUG. I don’t think I like to work with clay. I have many concerns using clay, for example the clay get stuck to the plater. Since I’m not use to clay so I’m willing to try to work with it and learn new things.

Why do people Cyberbully? People Cyber bullying for the same seasons as any other type of bullying. “Putting someone down, will never help you reach the top”. I chose this quote because Some people become bullies because they  were bullied before and so they think is a way of solving what they went through, or because they see it as way of getting popular. There are many ways of stopping cyber bullying such as talking to your parents, consulting someone you trust. like your best friend, your teacher, your school counselor, your sister… or deleting your account. My advice for cyberbullying is facing the bullie, standing up for yourself and showing them that you're not someone that he/she should be picking on.


Digital Citizenship Posters

​9th graders have been learning about Digital Citizenship and discussing the ins and outs of social media, anonymous posting, the power of IP addresses, the long term consequences of what we say online and they have been reflecting on events in the news and stories in the book LOL....OMG!. 

They created posters that convey a message from our discussion and posted them to their blog. You can view them by clicking the links below.

SUPPORT THE TROOPS

The purpose behind the project
-The purpose of this project was not only to learn how to work with computers but to pick out our own project (that we had a list to choose from) and learn how to do that certain project.
What you had hoped to learn
-I had hoped to learn how to make and edit these slides shows on WeVideo
What you did learn
-I learned how to take a photo and put them together making them change "smoothly", so to speak. The transition was simple but editing and timing the change of each slide was challenging at times. 
How successful you feel the project was
-I personally feel like I could've used more work  on this project added more information about the military because I don't feel like I truly explained myself. Though I did have trouble adding music from another software into the slides.

Quarter 2 Project Statement - Tamir

​The purpose behind my project was to create a hip hop beat that people would like. What i hoped to learn from this project was how to make good beats and understand how to use the studio programming to make them. However, i learned more than i expected. I learned that making a good beat is very difficult and it takes a lot of precision and experience. I learned the basics of making a hip hop beat with the help of a good friend who makes all types of beats often. I feel as though my project was very successful and i really like the beat my friend helped me make.
