Art Project 4th Quarter

This is project is one that I started in the 2nd quarter I Realized that the school doesn't have anything from the seniors starting class as far as artwork goes so I created this piece below based off of the student bodies and my own opinion on the school and life.


This project was one I did in the first quarter I wanted to do a painting because I always draw and I wanted to see how skilled I could be with a paint brush. I wanted a symbolic mother earth in my piece and a Clift the entire piece was based around the idea of having a clift the piece was supposed to


As an artist I don't think I have grown too much. I haven't pushed my artistic skill I just did something different through each quarter. I knew exactly what I was doing with the art and just executed, it was pretty easy.


I have learned that as far as the research goes I don’t have any drive to be consistent with the research. And it would be easier for me to just tell you why I did what I made


  • “What have you learned about making Art?”


I haven’t learned much about art this year tbh I was mainly experimenting with different ideas and cultivating the skill set I already possessed and based my pieces around an Idea I had. I’d go as far as to saying I challenged myself with certain aspects of my creation.


  • “What have you learned about yourself through the projects you have created?”

I learn that I can be versatile with the equipment I use for creative purposes. All I really need is to have the right teacher and a few classes to master the skill and work things out visually and inside of my head as far as the techniques I gather for my art work.


  • Which project are you most proud of and why?

  • This should include an image of the project


I like the painting because it came out nearly like the way I wanted it too even though the original idea was more complex and might have looked better I enjoy the Pieces simpleness.


  • What is your biggest weakness or area in need of growth has been this year?


I biggest weaknesses I think are the fact that I shade pretty horrifically and I have a hard time scaling images up freehand, it always comes out too small or too big or things become disproportionate.

  • What kind of Art you want to make next.

Most likely a 3D model of something or I’d try different styles of drawing and paining because there's sooo much I have to learn from each art form. Maybe spray painting or really anything.


  • What kind of Art inspires you the most and why (MUST include a copyright free/Creative Commons licensed image and a citation for that image)


Music inspires me the most but lol as far as visuals all art that shows a new perspective of what we commonly see

Pride Strong But Mind Is Cracked

My six words are Pride Strong But Mind Is Cracked this is because my gay pride is one the things i hold dear and something I cherish and something that I love its apart of me and people who are extremists of their religion have the nerve to say its a diseases. This is very hurtful and something I hate that happens in the world I say that it doesn't phase me . But inside each homophobic comment hurts me and leaves my inside black and cracked each time they say something it chips away at my insides making my mind psychologically broken.

My room is a music studio. As you can tell from my six word memior I love music. So my ideal room is very much involved with recording equipment. This whole room defines my passion and I plan on having something very similar and/or better and bigger in the future. As of last year I have been active in the music making feild and I have discovered a new passion within music. That is where I got the inspiration to creat a musical studio.

I’m a model. I’ll be successful.

When I was 12 I started to think of things that interest me. Modeling came to mind. I told my mother that I wanted to model. She put me in John Roberts Power a modeling school. Paying sixty five dollars every Saturday I would go downtown during the summer to pursue my dream.  The school not only taught me modeling but etiquette and acting. I’ve been had the dream of one day acting this did not only help with that but with modeling too. After John Robert Powers I tried out for my first fashion show it was with “Suede Square”. I made it and from there people saw me model and wanted me for their shows. On Sunday May 22nd I modeled for “Malino di rouge”, she started young with her dream and now sells hundred dollar clothing. She successful with her line and one day I want to be the same. I chose to put a runway in my photo because it describes me and my life. My success one day will be from modeling I am confident and will be successful.

Music is on, thoughts are off-Julie Baker

Everyday I listen to music, it’s a habit that I love to do. When I am overwhelmed with work or stressed out about other things music is how I escaped, it’s my capture. I never do my work at home without it, it’s how I focus. In the room I created I have a records player and a wall old vinyl, since I like listening to old music. On the other hand, I have speakers which incorporated new music.

My best friend and I started to become the friends that we are because of music, we still always share different songs and artist for each other to listen too. That’s why I filled my room with music and musical things.


Drill Press Video

Using the drill press is actually really easy, and most of the time you're gonna spend using it is just adjusting the table, the chuck (spinning part that holds the drill bit), and moving the drill bit into the piece of wood you need to drill.

So if you're gonna use the drill press, you would probably first make sure there's a flat piece of wood clamped on the "table", have the light on, have the drill bit secured in the chuck using the chuck key, safety glasses, good leverage over the piece of wood you're gonna drill through (can be clamped), and the power on.

This was actually the second time I edited a video, but I think it's acceptable. 

The hardest part in making this video would actually be waiting till the makerspace was empty enough to record, because apparently people like to talk. 

Editing wasn't too hard, especially because all I did was cut certain parts out to make the video less time consuming to watch. (Also was a lot easier because I wasn't using the horrid wevideo software)

TL;DR: Using the drill press is easy - Learned how to edit videos.

Basketball is my life long dream.

Basketball has been a big part of my life for the pat ten years. It keeps me foucused and in shape. It also gives me peace when I'm mad and joy when I'm bored. It also takes a lot of charecter to be a basketball player if you want to lead a team. I started young in middle school when I was the captin of the team. It was very frustating when we took big losses but it also helped me keep my cool in difficult situations on the court and in life. That is why I have a lot of basketball rferences in my room like the back board and NBA letters on the celling. As you can see playing profesional basketball player is my life long dream.

How To Use Weebly

Before this project I didn't really know how to use Weebly. I felt like their were too many tools and things were too jumbled for me to find out what to use. I also felt like it was too much having to pick a setup theme especially if I didn't want to use the ones they had. I learned how to create a website where I can advocate my business effectively. I've learned how to create themes as well as leaning what tools to use and when to use them so that my website can be as effective as possible. I know now that with my knowlege I can make more websites for different things not only business. This is a very effective skill to have especially in this digital age. I leared a lot and will transfer it to the future.

Basics of a game in game maker

Before I started this project I barely knew anything about coding. At first I had actually tried another software but I had no luck and then tried game maker. Things such as coding seemed to be hard but it was actually really easy and fast. Things I learned were that of how to make sprites and set instructions for them to act on. I found that every single action needed a command to work and this helped me have a small peak at those people that devote their lives to making video games. Even sound needed to be created as there was none if you did not add it. A small mistake would cause the game to stop working and would require you to check where you made the mistake. These mistakes are the ones that make glitches in the large games that we see around. I also learned how to convert files from one format to another in order to make the game work. At the end I found that to be able to publish the game on different software you had to pay but there was one format that worked which was for windows.

Better to be independent than dependent

Better to be independent, than dependent.

Being independent gives you more freedom and control over yourself and your future conditions, instead of being dependent, when you depend on someone you become too hopeful, for example you work with a group of friends and you’re the one pulling the weight while everyone else slacking off, that feeling can be frustrating that’s why being independent is better, instead of hopping someone else will do it, you are taking control over the actions and outcomes.


The hole in the wall shows the frustration of the person, the messy bed shows how indifferent the guy is about everything that surrounds him, the pillow on the floor shows how comfortable he is, and the table & paper shows the work that he has done and how simple he wants to live life.

How to use Tinkercad

My tutorial is on how to use Tinkercad. Tinkercad is a 3d printer which allows you to be creative and print out things in 3D. Tinkercad can be hard to use at first but after you get a hang up it it becomes easier to use. When I first use Tinkercad it was hard trying to figure out how each feature worked. It was also hard figuring out how to work the work plane which is where you put your creations and decide how you want it. I messed up multiple times before I got it the way I wanted it. The reason I did this tutorial is because I always wanted to print stuff out in #D but never knew how. I watched other tutorials and they were always complex so I made one bout the basic steps of how to use Tinkercad. I would recommend Tinkercad because it allows to to print out your creations in 3D. Hope you enjoy my tutorial.  

Reflection


Prior to this project I knew barely anything about using power tools in the maker space. I didn't know what tools were which or how to use them at all. Also I didn't know what you could create just with a few pieces of wood. I learned how to first make accurate measurements, then take that and apply it to an actual task. I learned how to use power tools safely and efficiently. This will help me in the future if I want to possibly go into the field of carpentry, or work with the union or something. Now I know how to build things if I had to do house work or even just build for money. Power tools were something I was not fimiliar with but now I have an understandng of the process. Now I am not shy to these types of tools. I know now that with my knowlege I can be the one to create things and not have to buy them. I leared a lot and will transfer it to the future.

How To Make a Smore Flyer

For my 4th quarter tech project, I chose to make a how to video on how to make a smore. It took me quite a while to make it. The first thing that I did was get familiar with the website. After I was familiar with it, I then made a script for what I was going to say. This helped me figure out what I was going to say while recording the video. The video took me quite a while to make since I kept messing up on what I wanted to say. After I recorded the video, I thenk inserted that file into WeVideo and made my intro and ending credits. The credits included my photo I used and the website I used as well. This project was not hard overall, but it did take time to complete. 

Quarter 4 Tech Video Explanation of Blogger

When creating my video I learned a couple things for me to reflect on. One of the things that I learned was that in order to create a video is that it takes more patience than you would think. As when I first started recording I had to stop the video after thirty seconds as I was not happy with the way the recording was going. Besides that the recording went fairly well. I was able to get through everything I wanted to in the time period. My real problem was getting the embed code. As my video was having trouble with my video syncing with my laptop. I had to give access to TechSmith Snagit in order for the video to fully sync. Then I needed to send the video to youtube in order for me to embed it. Besides that hassle everything else went smoothly. Well that was my experience with creating a video.


Instructional Video on How to use Wix.com

For my instructional video, I used wix.com. This website is a free website builder and creative templates for any topic.The process and the learning achieved through the creation of the video is to give instructions to viewers that would like to use a free website builder. When I first used this website it was actually not challenging. It was straight forward, but the only thing then teaching someone how to do anything, the most important thing is to make sure your speech is clear and have a clear explanation of what you are trying to explain. Especially, when you have to present in 3-5 minutes all information has to be added as well as understandable. As  I was explaining instructions, I had to make sure that not only did I explain it verbally, but I had to show it physically.
