When I created the spiral of Theodorus I had to use a protractor to make my angles and sides the correct length and degrees (90 degrees). Than I had to prove my work so I could know it actually fit into the category of a Theodorus spiral. I made a middle point to start myself off and mad every triangle line up to that point. I used the Pythagorean theorem to check myself with my triangles which you can see above. I wanted to make my spiral as apart of a chameleon because it's found in nature with this Theodorus spiral.

How to use smore flyers!

My reflection on this video on how to create a smore is interesting. I think that it was kinda challenging to use a app I never used before. It is very tough trying to set everything up. When I first started i'm not gonna lie I messed up like 8 times. It took some time to get it all down pat. I think the app is pretty cool though. I say this because I was always wondering how people recorded like that. The biggest reason I like it is because I always wanted to create one for Madden 16 like other youtubers do. I think I would do this again to make more interesting videos. This is what I learned from this video and app.

​This is my spiral of Theodorus, I thought it was going to be really difficult but it ended up being a lot easier than I thought.

First, you get a protractor and make a right triangle with sides 1 inch long and after that you continue making right triangles. They will end up becoming bigger the further you go with the right triangles.

The function a2+b2=c2 is what is responsible for making the triangles get bigger and bigger.

Here what I made was a spiral of Theodorus and even thought it seems complitcated it wasn't.
All you have to do at first is get a protractor, make a right traingle with sides 1 inch long and after that you continue making right triangles that will increase in size by themselves. The math that will be used is that of a2+b2=c2 where the function will keep increasing in size as will the spiral. 

How To Use Smore

Posted by Maliya Edwards in TECH (INTRO TO DESIGN MULTIMEDIA) - Hertz - C2 on
For this project I had to make an instructional video teaching others how to do something. What i decided to do was make an instructional video teaching others how to use Smore Flyer. I will go over in this reflection my process and steps i did to get this project done. First I decided what app I decided what app i wanted to use to record the project with and then the app i used was called “ TechSmith Snagit”. What the app does is it takes a video of your whole computer screen and records your voice at the same time. Next I went to Smore Flyer and i showed how the website should look and how to login or make an account if someone does not have one. Then I logged in through my account to show how it looks and should look when once you login. I showed my previous flyers that i had made. Lastly I picked an old flyer that i had recently done and i showed how to make a flyer. I showed the tools and how to use the tools. I also showed the different backgrounds you could use for your flyer. After i was finished explaining everything i showed how my flyer turned out. Your flyer can be anything that you want it to be and it will turn out however you want it to turn out. That was really my whole process it wasn't anything to hard it is actually fairly easy. Finally i shared my video with the world through youtube. I really hope my video helped someone out there in the world.

​The Process:
Creating my spiral of theodorus took a lot time. First I Drew making a right triangle, And Angle A and B are 1 inch. Then I connected them to make a full right triangle. Once that is done, I made another 1 inch line to ward the 90* angle, connected to the previous triangle. I keep going until their was know space to make any other triangle.

Two cultures same meaning, different story


I come from a mix of two different cultures. My mom's side is from Philadelphia Pa and my fathers side is from Sierra Leone. I said same meaning because family is family and I feel the love and care from both sides is the same.

I love being with both sides of my family ,and I had to learn how to act in the way that the different cultures behaved. When with my dad's side I follow their culture, and with my mom I follow their culture.


I have two different kinds of foods in my room because it symbolizes “African Culture” food and  the other symbolizes “american food” Also in my room there is an African American Award on the entertainment system to show accomplishments.

Natural Hair.My Hair. Our Hair.

Posted by Kadeen White in ART 9 - Hertz - a1 on

I chose this memoir because I have and love my natural hair,but it was not always like that. When I was younger I didn’t like wearing my hair “nappy”, so i would always beg my mom to keep straighten it. Eventually, I got a perm, which chemically made my hair straight. I continued to get them from age 10 to about 12 and then I decided to go natural once i started to educate myself more and more about natural hair. Now that I am completely natural, I have learned to love my hair in its curly state, and I encourage my friends to do the same. In my drawing, I have my laptop because i spend most of my free time on it researching and watching natural hair tutorials.

​Live ,love ,laugh you'll be happy 

My mom used to say this to me when I was sad or going trough something. I think that It made an impact on my life and how I know view certain things with a different mind set. It can give you encouragement and help you learn what you wanna do in life, what will make you happy , to feel loved and to live the life you want.It may help you when your down. If you live your life the way u want they you will love and laugh and that's happiness . When my mom first said this to me , i was 6 . I was upset because i didn't know what i wanted to be when i grew up so i asked her what to do. She told me that you just need to be happy at the age that i am and that to know that people love very much. And when you do find what you wanna do for a living that what your gonna live for love and will make you happy. You can always look on the brighter side.

I have changed for the better


These 6 names are people that I have grown a strong friendship with.During the beginning of the school year I hung out with the same 3 people.I have broken out my shell and decided to meet new people.I have made this decision for the better of me growing in my 4 years in high school.If people don’t want you to see you do better then there aren’t good for you.

During the school year I have stupid arguments with my “friends” that could have been resolve over a simple conversation.

In my room I included  a picture of my friends in 8th grade and my friends in 9th grade.This shows that over time you will stop being friends with everybody and connect with your real friends.In my room I also have my recent report cards which changed over time and now I more A's than B's which is great.My room includes a trash can because I had to get away from the past and start all over.

The happy smile isn't gonna last

I feel like this expresses that life isn't always happy. I think happiness doesn't last. Because it seems like once i am happy something has to happen to ruin it. Since i was a little kid i things have been happening like deaths in the family and also good things like birthday parties and good times with family. My drawing relates to my memoir because i drew a room with two different perspectives. The two perspectives was sadness and happiness, and darkness and brightness by putting the sun in one side and the moon on the other. I also put a dark room on the darkness side.

Fighting's like WW3.....Still loves me 

Sister's are supposed to fight because that's just how it is. But me and my sister when we fight we really fight. There will be fist thrown, kicks kicked, slaps slapped, scratches, pinches everything. We both have scars from the fights that we have and we both have said some very mean things in the midst of fighting. But we both know that we mean no harm and if one of us are n trouble the other will be right there to pick up the pieces and help.

Example: One time when me and her were out we were playing ding dong dipsy. It was my turn to go so after i rung the doorbell and started running somebody came outside to see who was at the door and my sister got really scared and pushed me out of her way and i scrapped my shoulder and twisted my ankle and then we started arguing but then we noticed that the person from the house was coming towards us and when she reached us my sister took the blame for ringing the doorbell and we made up.

Mekhya Johnson's One Point Perspective Project

Posted by Mekhya Johnson in ART 9 - Hertz - a1 on
​In my drawing it's a almost empty room. with moving boxes all around. My room represents how I want to move on with my life because it's no the life I want to live. My 6 word memoir is " I should have went somewhere else". In my room there are moving boxes and they represent how I'm moving on with my life. An example in my life would be caring about other people's feelings than my own. I would put others first before me, so I want to change that because I don't want to go down that road.

A casual day on the internet

Posted by Dexter Le in ART 9 - Hertz - a1 on
Memoir: A casual day on the internet

I decided to write this memoir because it relates to my own experiences. I usually go on the internet almost every single day and it does not get tiring at all. Here in my picture, I have my desk and equipment I use daily. I have 2 drawing tablets one on the front and one on the side of the desk. I play an online game that has an optional use of the little tablet and I draw on the bigger tablet. I also have my keyboard laid out and I decided to draw this more detailed because it has to be one of my prized possessions out of my whole desk. Along with the desk, I have two monitors which are not the same brand at all. I can relate this to my memoir because this is the equipment I use to browse the internet daily. Another reason why I decided to use this memoir is because I earned all of this by myself. What makes this special is when you spend your own money on something you need and it's a fuzzy feeling of "This is mine".

6 word  memoir

      They all say the same thing

 Backstory

      Everybody says and thinks the same thing, when it comes to their everyday life.  Sometimes I feel abnormal, because sometimes I don't agree with their actions, music, or beliefs. A lot of people listen to the same music, watch the same shows, talk about the same thing, and believe the same thing. I mean there is nothing wrong with that, but there is nothing wrong with having  a different mindset on the world. That's what I'm learning right now.  Example, I have a different taste in music, it's a lot different from my friends. There is this one artist that I like, I play him for my friends all the time. They don't like him they think he is corny. I used to listen to them and follow the crowd, by listening to the same music they listen too. But I had to realize I don't like that type of music, and there is nothing wrong with the music I like. It's good to be different, you never get bored. 

In my room I have music influence/items located all over my room. In my chair, there are a stack of CD’s, there is also CD’s scattered around the room. I have a big poster on the ceiling, and another poster on the left wall. On the ceiling there's also music lines/notes. Music has a big influence on my life, that's why i choose this concept.

6 word memoir backstory

Posted by Camilo Ruiz in ART 9 - Hertz - a1 on
​The memoir relates to the room because it is talking about art.The room has signs that it is an art gallery and the artist is very creative.There are many pieces of art that represent people being passionate about their art.Art is about loving your work.You have to care about what you draw,even if other people dont like your work,if it is nice in your eyes then it is nice.Only You know the meaning of the work and why you made it.Before I thought art was about perfection and how good the artwork looked.But as I learned about other types of art like abstract i learned that art is about meaning.

"The Internet.. You Mean my Home?"

Posted by Kevin Westerfer in ART 9 - Hertz - a1 on
​My six word memoir derives from me being on my computer 24/7. Many of my friends aren't close to me, let alone my state, and in some cases country. Being able to communicate, play games with, or just anything with them is fun. I also enjoy the internet because of how everybody's different communities are on there and you can interact with people in that community. The internet to me is also good for entertainment and educational purposes.
