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.

My project was supposed to be a 3D printing of a superhero i created aback when I was 8.I had hoped to learn how to use the 3D printer.I learned that not every project goes the way you want it to.It was somewhat successful because most of  the hero got done and only the P and face were messed up.

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.

BE BOLD, AND MAKE A CHANGE !!! #Don't be a bystander

I choose to do my slide this way to let people recognize what the percents are theses days on the topic of bullying. What my slides shows is the percent of peers being near when a person is being bullied. This is important to me because this high percent shows how much people need to stop what there doing and make a change. When you see somebody, friend or stranger you shouldnt just stand there and watch them be bullied ,you should do something about it and stand up for them. You should be thier hero when they cant be for themselves because in the end your help will be very appreciated.

Robbie's individual artist statement

My video is about self-expression and my hobbies and interest.some of the things i had in my video was a couple of the bands I like for example The Beatles and Florida Georgia Line. Another thing that was in my video was the tv shows i like for example The Walking Dead and WWE.

I like The beatles because thats what my dad raised me on and thats how i learned to love them.

The reason that I like Florida Georgia Line is because they are really good and that I really like their songs. The reason that I like the walking dead is that it is one of the shows that i am able to watch with my dad and my brother. The reason that I like the WWE is that it is really interesting and it is also cool.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) was founded back in 1952 by Jess McMahon as capitol wrestling corporation (CWC). Through out the years it went through numerous name changes such as World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) to World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). WWE is one of the largest professional companies in the world. It is known to have promote the most successful wrestlers and storylines,and featured some of the most iconic and significant matches and moments in the history of the sport.

A picture is worth a thousand words!

​The reason i choose this image is because it shows how the boy is scared and afraid of what those bullies are saying. I can see that he is hurt by the way he is sitting in the corner and as the screen is getting closer to him. He is probably thinking of killing himself. What i am trying to say is people like him feel that way because of the bullies that are out there. My words would be cyberbullying hurts and kills people.

Experimenting with Markers and Color Pencil

For my second quarter individual project I want to do Pop Art. The different mediums used with Pop Art are marker, color pencil, acrylic paint, and photo shop. I want to use markers and color pencils. I practiced in the below image outlining with markers and shading with value. I outlined the lips with red marker, bottom row of teeth with yellow marker, and top row of teeth with black marker. I wanted to shade the lips with a mix of both red and pink lightly on the upper lip and darker on the lower lip. I darkened the yellow color pencil on the bottom row of teeth because that should have been the boldest. I experienced with color pencil that mixing different colors and values create a more realistic shade.

Tiffany Irick Quart 2 Project Research

When I watched the tutorial, it looked easy to do. When, I started To actually do it and paint it was so hard. Then I started to get the hang of it towards the ending. When I finished the painting I realized that i had to make the swirls more tight in and make it fuller. It was a cool experience because I really Enjoyed it. I cant wait to try it again on my actual project.

Pencil Drawing

I drew something that came to mind. I enjoy using pencil in different ways and I will continue to experiment. I don't like it, but that is okay. I think that I like the clothes the best out of everything in the piece. I want to learn how to draw torsos and arms better in the future. 

Art Elective Project Preliminary Research- before the actual piece

This piece is a dream catcher. This is a preview of what I want to do. This piece looks really nice and and dreamy. During the experience of this, I came across a few obstacles. One was that I used the wrong brush. One brush was too big and so I went into my lines. This help me for next time because now I know what brushes are too big and what to use. This helped me know what and what not to use during the process. It also helps me know what piece I should color in first to make sure its very neat. 

My Crayola DIY drip experience

Crayola
Crayola
Before this experience I have only seen examples of this art form on websites, random images, and other social media. I never realized how deviously difficult this art form can be. Your piece turning out they way you see fit has a lot to do with how  you position the crayons on the first place. There are multiple chances for someone to mess up their entire piece. Additionally you have to have the fear of dripping hot wax on yourself and then burning your finger. Overall it was a interesting learning experience. I am excited to get started. 

IP Addresses

TECH STUFF
TECH STUFF
I chose this image because it shows that there's an individual IP for every computer. The Ip Addresses are not the same as the last one which is probably why the numbers are so long. That would make sense because of all the electronics in the world. Every electronic has one be it smart phone, computer or tablet. it helps you get online and do other things on the internet

In this Rule Of Thirds photo, the young woman in the front is one of three people to be cyber bullied. She is very upset due to all the harmful things that the two people in the back have said to her electronically. 4,400 people die each year due to suicide because of cyber bullying. No one should be bullied online or offline. Make the number 4,400 turn into 0.

Cyberbullying Blog Post

I chose this photo because to me it to looks like it represents cyber bullying. The girl in the photo looks like she was stressed out and she seems to be anticipating something, potentially a hurtful message or something similar. Cyber bullying is really a horrible thing. Some people don't take it as seriously as they should. It's just as horrible as bullying, and it can be even more brutal because the person bullying doesn't truly know how badly they are hurting someone.

Be GREAT online

I chose this picture because I thought it was something that I could have really wrote something about. Everyone says how apples are good for the body, so I said be good just like them, just online. The message that I am trying to convey with my slide is that you should be good online. Things you can do to accomplish this are not to bully online, do legal things, and have safe fun. 

Walk Away

"Just Walk Away" 
I chose these words to highlight how easy it is to avoid cyber bullying. People tend to suffer from cyber bullying for long periods of time when it really isn't that hard to close it out and walk away. They could simply close the program or shut the laptop because there is a large variety of things to do other than be on social media. This picture symbolizes the phrase because in the picture the man has his back turned and is walking away. This is what I think people should do because it is a very simple way to avoid the extra stress that cyber bullying adds on to peoples lives. Also because I think it's better to spend time with family or friends in person rather than sit on social media.

Think Before You Type.

I chose this quote because people commonly say things they didn't mean to say on social media. Also, if someone sends out a tweet or makes a post on Facebook, they don't really know whether or not someone would be offended by it. I decided to put a keyboard because it applies to the quote & it's simple. I also chose the picture because it's somewhat dramatic (ha) & it adds onto the drama of the quote. Finally, this is a good message because a lot of things are started online that don't need to be started, just because of a misunderstanding.
