Electric Art Project (Puerto Rican Flag)
For our benchmark project we decided to light up a Puerto Rican flag. Our idea was inspired by the hurricane that happened a few months ago that left the island of Puerto Rico with no electricity by us lighting this flag we are representing hope to those families without light and to the island as a whole. The background idea for this project really hits close to home and means alot to us. For us to use our knowledge of physics to make lights turn on really inspires us because it shows that when we come across disasters like that, our knowledge is power. For our flag we created a circuit that has light bulbs both in a series and in parallel, in order to have each bulb’s brightness equally strong. We came across many challenges with connecting the wires successfully to where they belonged in order to light the flag but we overcame them by revising our notes and getting help from our peers. I hope that you enjoy our project and find it as inspirational as we did.
One Point Perspective Room Drawing
In this one point perspective drawing of a room, I drew 2 windows, a dresser, a couch, a table with a TV on it, a rug, and a high ceiling. Throughout this project, I learned all the rules one point perspective art has and how to applied them. I'm am most proud of how I executed the lines in my project because it really helped my overall drawing come to life. I wish I could improve the drawing of the items in my room as they could be better directed back to the vanishing point. For anyone doing this project next year I really recommend you to really execute your lines correct and make them as straight as possible. As well make sure all your items in your room go back to the vanishing point.

Cellphone Usage Blog Post
I'm going to be talking about the usage of my phone and how it relates to what we have learned about multitasking and cellphone addiction. As well as how my data compares to the different data from my grade. Overall my goal is to become aware of my cellphone use as it relates to how it affects my body and mind. I found out that being addicted to your phone is a real thing and my people around the world are in fact addicted to their cellphones or at least close to being addicted. I also learned that theres an actual explanation for that feeling of needing to check your phone. Which is that your brain gives off dopamine which makes you feel a rush to check your phone when you get a message. I now know that I need to control my phone usage to avoid getting addicted to my phone. You can control your phoen usage by creating no phone times throughout your day, you avoid using your phone throughout the first 30 min of your day, and you can turn off your phone when your about to drive.
I collected my cellphone usage data by using the checky app where I took the data and input it in the google spreadsheet. (LINK BELOW)
