Jordan's Capstone Project

For my capstone my group and I ( Jeremy, Sergio, Naji, and Khayri built a go-kart. I joined my friends, in the projects because I always wondered about behind the scenes how things work and how things are built. And I thought this would be a great way to find out. We set up shop at SLA Center City. Before we starting building we needed to construct an outline sketch of the go-kart and figure out what person would be building what part of the go-kart. Once we decided on those things, we drew out how we would build it, we drew and wrote down everything before we starting grabbing any tools. Once we felt that we were ready, we let Mr. Lawrence know and we began ordering supplies. It was a little challenge working around everyone’s schedule and taking our time to make sure everything was going to work properly.

Q1 Benchmark: Comparative Ethnobotany

Posted by Jordan Davis in Botany · Aziz · y1 on Monday, October 22, 2018 at 10:25 am
The way that indigenous plants and the culture be preserved as a whole is by having more classes teach these kinds of things. This information can be shared amongst students at the grade level of 5th grade and could teach it again in the sophomore year of high school. There could be special schools days where they acknowledge indigenous culture and spend a day or however long they want to spend celebrating and cultivating that culture. Plant anatomy affects plant physiology because plants need to be structurally strong so that it can do certain features; a plant that thrives in rainy conditions and is built for humid areas such as the rainforest isn't going to work the same if it was suddenly put in an environment like a desert, it wouldn’t survive. Humans interactions affect a plants ability to adapt to changing climates if it’s a plant that is always in a constant environment. If a plant is always being nurtured by having constant light and being given water at certain times throughout the day the plant will never have to experience a drought of water or sometimes not seeing the sun. Since the plant is in a constant environment it will always know only that constant.

Dora Budor's Inspiration

Posted by Jordan Davis in Art 2 · Hertz · C1 on Thursday, May 31, 2018 at 8:30 am

This quarter I did a drawing inspired by the artist I studied during quarter 3. Most of the sculpture or photographs she took were inspired by natural disasters, for example the movie twister. My drawing is of a camera recording a wild fire in the forest. The work i drew doesn’t communicate with my culture or my personal experiences. We don’t live anywhere where wildfires occur or any other type of natural disasters. Yes fires do happen but not in a very overly dangerous way where it would burn down half our city.  

For the tools I used for my drawing, i used pencil, coloring pencils, markers, and oil pastels. It was a very simple process for drawing this piece. I think this piece is very different from all my other pieces, they were things that I was into or they were drawing that symbolizes my childhood experiences. The artist that inspired this work was Dora Budor, she didn't do any certain techniques that made her work stand out, I just think her work itself was different from other famous artist. A new technique that starts using was how I colored with pastel charcoal crayon, I use my fingers to spread the color around. Im most proud that I came up with the idea that I should color the camera, I made my drawing look a lot better. I think I’d I could change one thing is that I would’ve pushed myself to draw something more detailed.

Gas Howl

My art piece has a greyish background, there is a big moon in the top right hand corner of the paper. In the bottom left hand side of the piece there is a wolf howling at the moon. As the wolf is howling at the moon, smoke is coming out of his mouth towards the moon and surrounding it. The smoke that comes from the wolf's mouth is blue and purple. I decided the draw this art piece because I just really like wolves. When I decided the create this piece, I had the choose to either use watercolor paint or acrylic paint, and i chose watercolor paint. For the first checkpoint, we had to make a color grid, we had to choose 5 colors and mix the colors together within the color grid. The colors I made were blue, purple, black, white and grey. The materials I then used to create my piece was a pencil to draw my art piece, the a a use a pallet to hold my watercolors, I used a cup to hold my water, and lastly a paintbrush to paint my art piece. My first step was figuring what I want to draw. My second step to creating my piece was creating the color grid. My third step was drawing the design how I wanted. My fourth step was tracing it onto the paper that I wanted my final project to be on. The fifth step was painting my art piece. I got the idea from this piece i saw on instagram by a artist I really like. The only type of techniques I used were trying to paint a certain way so it could look really nice. I painted so it wouldn't look like a lot of paint stroke going all different types of ways. I didn't learn any new techniques. I'm mostly proud of my art piece with how it came out. The way the color of the wolf and the color of the background doesn't blend in with each other. The only thing I would change about my piece is the way painted it and the little mistake I made.

Media Design Website Project

Posted by Jordan Davis in Intro to Film & Video Prod · Hertz · C2 on Thursday, November 2, 2017 at 6:08 pm

In Media Design class for our Q1 project, we had to create a portfolio website. My portfolio website has a white background with purple and black writing. I wanted the project to show the type person I am. My writing font is fun and different and I want my audience to know that’s me. My goals for the project was to tell you who I am, tell you what I like and what I’m interested in. my process i took was fairly simple, first I want to add pictures, I wanted to show people me as a baby to now. I think I typed a small paragraph about myself so they can know me a little bit. I talked about my hobbies, the kind of person I am, my age, grade, school and my birthday. The failures I have is that I'm not very good at building a website, I wish I could've made it more creative. The tips I would give others would be to show who you are, not what you think someone else wants to see. This project inspired me to be true to myself and the type of person I am, to let anyones opinions sway me to be someone different. Also to always love myself. The one thing I would do different would be to get a different type of layout. I would’ve picked something more professional and classy, something that reflects me.

Life Through A Younger Me

Posted by Jordan Davis in Art 2 · Hertz · C1 on Thursday, November 2, 2017 at 8:34 am
​

My art represents a younger me that is coming face to face with her present and future problems that begin to overwhelm her and drown. I drew a crack in her face so you would know that her problems are coming from within. I added lighting storm at the top because I thought it was creative. With the “problems” pouring out her and the fact that they’re black, it shows that I go through and that I'm going through something heavy that is hard for me to handle. The materials I mostly used were colored pencils and sharpies.  With the “ocean” that are her problems that she faces, I trying to mimic the actual ocean. 

No one really inspired me to do this piece, I was just thinking about the problems that I'm facing school and in my personal life so I thought I would draw it. I’m not really an artist so I didn’t use any special techniques, just I guess you could say my feelings and experiences were my special techniques. I learned that you should draw the waves of the ocean first and draw darker and lighting to get the picture of the ocean. The only thing that I'm proud of is that I got it done one time. I wish I was more artistic so I could be more detailed and creative, I would change my whole picture.
