We created a picture frame for our electric art project. We created a picture frame because we never saw one that lights up and we thought it would be a unique thing to make. We both agreed to this idea and design since we both always look at old pictures of ourselves. It’s a way to look back at old memories that we had.
The item we used to light up is a cell phone case. A phone case resembles a phone to us. Our phones are very important to us. Heather and I thought about doing many different things but it came down to us using a phone case. We both use our phones every day along with many others. People can use their phones to call, text, go on social media, take pictures, videos, play games, listen to music and many other things. Phones take up a lot of everybody’s day along with ours. It made sense to use a phone case because it is small and it easily can represent us. Being able to represent ourselves in physics was interesting. We both worked together to create ideas along with the final product. There were roadblocks along the way of this process but we did not give up. Some parts were challenging but overall it was fun to create a project using physics along with our everyday lives. The phone case says that we use our phones but also that we use them in meaningful ways. Students can use their phones if they forget their laptops and they can use them for simple things like looking up a definition or emailing a teacher if they are not right next to their laptop. The phone case says Heather and I can use materials in different ways along with the fact we can put a deeper meaning into the product. This project was difficult at times and there was a rush at the end, but we had fun doing it and we put a lot of work and meaning into it.

I chose this memoir because I can relate to it in many ways in terms of my nostalgia for my old school and things I've had to let go of in the past year that I can't seem to find a way to forget about. I have cried a lot because of the changes in my life. I also cry sometimes because I can’t find a way to move on from the past and it’s frustrating when I always remember and think about it. My nostalgia for my old school has been extremely hard on me for the last year because I didn’t want things to change, but my parents decided it was time for me to have new experiences for high school. Therefore, I cried quite a bit because I didn’t want to leave my old school since I felt so comfortable there. I’ve also been having a hard time moving on from my first relationship, which was in the beginning of this year. My 6 word memoir connects with my old school and my relationship because it’s been such a long time now since everything changed, and I still think about it every day. I represent and illustrate my pain and struggling from the past year with multiple empty pieces of furniture in my drawing. I have 2 empty tables and a bare bed, which to me represent the emptiness I’ve felt from moving on. On my bed I drew a puddle of tears to represent the many times when I’ve cried alone in my room wishing things could be different. On the back wall I drew a small picture frame with 3 dots. Similar to the way you would write “...” to perhaps show time passing in a written piece, I have it in a picture frame to show time passing in my life, since so many things have changed.
Task 1:
Make a conjecture: How long would you judge it takes for the caffeine to leave your body and at what rate? At what point in time has half the caffeine left your body?
I would judge that it takes 6-8 hours for Caffeine and leaves your body at an hourly rate. So, at about 3-4 hours, the caffeine would be halfway gone.
Sketch a graph with labeled axes that shows what you think displays the relationship between time and the amount of caffeine in your body.
What is the lowest amount of caffeine that can be present in the body to feel its effects?
32-200 mg
Is caffeine a stimulant or a depressant?
Caffeine is a stimulant.
What percentage of caffeine in a person’s body is eliminated each hour?
13 percent of caffeine is eliminated from the body every hour.
Task 2:
Choose a caffeinated drink you drink daily (or often).
Sunkist Orange Soda: 12 fl oz.
What type of function can you use to represent the amount of caffeine in your body? Explain
You can use an exponential function to represent the amount of coffee in your body. You use this function because its graph decreases which is what happens to the caffeine as time progresses and it doesn’t decrease at a constant rate.
When will the caffeine completely leave your body?
Theoretically, the caffeine will never leave your body. This affects the math because on the graph, your asymptote will be 0 meaning the caffeine will never be completely gone.
When you have half of the caffeine left? How long does it take for the first half to disappear? How long for the second half? Show this algebraically.
In order to find out when you will have half the caffeine, you would take your initial amount of caffeine (47 in my case) and divide it by 2. This is shown on the graph represented by the horizontal purple line.
When will the initial caffeine be reduced to an amount that should no longer have any stimulant effect on the body? (Refer to the reading to determine what this amount typically is.) Mark this point on your graph.
The initial caffeine will be reduced to an amount that should no longer have any stimulant effect on the body after the average amount of 32 mg.
My Graph: The Relationship between time and the amount of caffeine throughout a 24 hour period.
Based on my research I recommend that caffeine should not be consumed regularly. The amount of caffeine you consume can increase quickly if you constantly consume it. Based on the amount of caffeine in the product, I would only recommend taking in one or 2 sources of caffeine each day and to space each intake out.
Have you ever wondered the effects of caffeine? Have you experiences the effects of caffeine? What is caffeine, a stimulant or depressant? Why does it stop affecting our system after a few hours? How much leaves and stays in the body each hour?
Caffeine affects our Central Nervous System (CNS), muscles, hearts and blood. Caffeine is most commonly used as a stimuli, to raise mental awareness. But, it is also used in herbal, pain-killer medicines, low blood-pressure and weight loss. Thus, caffeine is a stimuli, not a depressant. Caffeine affects restlessness, nervousness, irregular sleeping patterns (excessive) and stomach irritation.
Caffeine also makes its’ exit out of the body even hour. Research from the National Science Foundation reports, in an average person, 13% of the caffeine consumed is decreased every hour. This means, 87% still remains in the body. Every drink that consists of caffeine, hourly it will decrease by 13%.
To put this into work, I tracked the amount of my caffeine consumption over a course of 48 hours. The time began from 6:00 AM on Sunday, May 29 to 6:00 AM on Tuesday, May 31. Within these two days, drink items that included caffeine were; black tea, masala chai, Pepsi-Cola and iced coffee.
ANALYSIS OF EQUATIONS
Over the course of 48 hours, I consumed caffeine seven times. Each time caffeine was consumed, a different equation was created:
The first equation (in red) was y=67(0.87)^x-0.5 of masala chai, drank after 30 minutes of 6 o’clock in the morning. It consisted of 67 milligrams of caffeine. However, the 67 in the equation derives from the amount of caffeine at 6:30 AM, saying we drank and finished the masala chai at 6:30 AM.
The second equation (in purple) was y=235.38(0.87)^x-4.5 of Dunkin Donuts small iced coffee. It was consumed at 10:30 in the morning, 4.5 hours after 6:00 AM. The coffee itself instilled 197 milligrams of caffeine. But, even after 4.5 hours the previous caffeine consumption was still in my body, 38.38 milligrams. So, 197 and 38.38 were added to get the total caffeine present in my body at 10:30 AM.
The third equation (in black) was y=149.07(0.87)^x-10.5 of black tea with 47 milligrams of caffeine. It was consumed 10.5 hours later from 6 in the morning. The number 149.07 comes from the previous amount of caffeine present in body at that time, 102.07 mg, then an addition of 47.07 milligrams.
The fourth equation (in blue) was y=131.64(0.87)^x-16.5 of Pepsi consumed. It was consumed after 16.5 hours counting from the 6:00 in the morning. The number 131.64 comes from the amount of caffeine in the Pepsi 38.9 mg and the previous amounts at that time (just before consumption of Pepsi).
The fifth equation (in red) was y=103.03(0.87)^x-25.75 of masala chai consumed on day two. The green shade represents from what to what time I was sleeping. Even during sleep the caffeine was releasing out of the body. So, 103.03 comes from the 67 mg in the masala chai, in addition to the previous amounts of caffeine within the body.
The last, sixth equation (in red) y=91.72(0.87)^x-35 also represents masala chai being consumed after 35 hours (from 6:00 AM, previous day). As in the previous equations, 91.72 mg is of two “ingredients.” The already caffeine in the body, plus the additional caffeine being consumed from the drink, in this case 67 mg were added to the previous amounts of caffeine, 24.72 mg.
To break down the graph we have key features. They are features that best describe the graph, for an easier understanding. In terms of the graph, the red line represents 32 mg of coffee, the amount in the body that it is no longer in effect. The horizontal axis, x-axis represents the time in hours, while the vertical line, y-axis represents the amount present in my body.
Caffeine may seem pleasant for a while, at least until not abused. Within adults, one should consume no more than 350 mg to remain healthy. However, even adolescents take caffeine through chocolate bars or coffee it self. Adolescents should take no more than 90 mg of caffeine per day. A high intake can cause problems such as in sleeping, breathing and blood flow. Caffeine if consumed higher than written should be controlled the next day. Limits should be set up. And, drinking caffeinated drinks early in the morning, allowing the body to process if the whole day will be beneficial. However, after the caffeine levels in your body drop to 32 mg, you can’t feel its’ affects. Drinking caffeine is no problem as long as it is not overdosed or abused.

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.

Spaceship sci fi planets 4098 meteor showers tec
this drawing takes place in the future 4098 the guy is on a ship heading to a space station do to a colony failure of infection of an unknown life on the planet that forced an evacuation of the planet as this guy is looking at his room on a 8 year trip back to one of the main system stations over his time on the ship he has seen some crazy things out of his widows over the past 5 years of his life on the ship now 17 years of age he thinks what his last few years of his life would have if the infection never happened.
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
Phrase: Trapped behind the walls, Can’t escape.
Life is what you make it !
