Q4 Sculpture- Ruby and Hanamaru
For this project, I decided to make a stage that lights up with two anime characters, Ruby and Hanamaru, standing in front of it. I choose to make this sculpture because I wanted to make something creative and that will catch the attention of others. The anime girls are from a show called Love live Sunshine, which represents me because they are all motivated to reach their dream and really care about their school. As well, the characters, Ruby and Hanamaru, remind me of myself. Furthermore, I really appreciate cute and colorful things, which was why I decided to make the stage light up with multi colored lights. To conclude, I feel like this project really represents my personality, interests, and motivation to put creativity into my projects.
One Point Perspective Room
This is my one point perspective drawing for Intro to Art Class. I drew a cute and decorative room that represents my personality. I drew a window with curtains and a nice scenery, an open door, a table, fluffy rug, framed photo, two lights, hardwood floor, three posters, two plants, a cat, clock, lights, a chair and light in the separate room, and pretty flowers around the window. By completing this project, I learned a lot about drawing in one point perspective. For example, depending where you are looking at, the object you see alters. As well, the lines connected to the middle point affect their direction of lines and shading. What I am most proud of in my drawing are the decorations I drew and the creativity I was capable of adding. Something I would add improvement to would most likely be the neatness of my lines and flooring. I feel that fixing those mistakes would add more accuracy efficiency to my drawing. A tip I have for someone who works on this project next year, would be to focus on the criteria given for the project and to neatly use a ruler to make your lines. Without this, it is a lot more difficult to add further detail and visual attraction to the drawing.
Multi-tasking and Cellphone Use Project
In this assignment I had to track how often I turned my phone on and off throughout two days. My class also had to track this data and insert their information into a Spreadsheet document. I had to calculate the data, the averages of my class, the least and greatest numbers, and create charts. The goal of this project was to see how often I used my cell phone, how often my class uses their cell phones, how we multitask during important work, what applications we use the most, and how the data of my cell phone use and my class’ cell phone use compared.
In conclusion, I believe that cellphone addiction and constant multitasking is a situation in today’s society. I learned, through my observations, that the students in SLA Beeber spend a lot of time using their phones and multitasking while completing their work. I have also learned how often I use my phone, along with how it compares to my classmates and other students at SLA. I learned through my research, that cellphone addiction causes us to look at our phones while talking to people, the first thing you do when you get somewhere is charge our phones, we fall asleep holding our smartphones, we check our phones first thing in the morning, our phone bills are huge, and we feel anxious when your phone is not with us. I also learned through my research that multitasking actually makes our work less successful and we work very slowly. We are actually switch-tasking and going back and forth between the two assignments.We are not actually completing them at the same time.
Some recommendations I have for my classmates and even myself, is that we should focus more on our school work, instead of multitasking so often. Some tips I have found from research online to assist us with limiting our cell phone use include: For the first 30 minutes of the day we shouldn't go on our phones, we should create “no-phone time zones”, turn off our phones when we get in the car, live more in the moment and reality, and try not to lose sleep over our phones.
Here is my spreadsheet for the Cellphone Use Project. I collected my data by using the app Checky, which told me how often I turned my phone on, and the app Moment, which told me how many hours I spent on my phone everyday. I also used the spreadsheet, which told me the data of the other students in my class.
