Paragraph:

For my project, I had decided to dive deeper into the true meaning of artistic concept in subconscious mind. All of the photos that I have decided to display below, were all photos that I wasn’t completely aware of what I had captured. I simply saw a moment and without determining whether or not it was a good shot, I took it. This kind of reaction is also present throughout all forms of artistic expression. When you’re drawing, you sketch something out without even paying attention to the fact that you are creating something and you are able to put the pieces together to create something grand. My project aims to display the reactiveness of the brain and as it relates to photography. I also aim to showcase the many things I have learned as photographer and present that to the world. Using photoshop, I have edited 10 of my pieces in various ways and had them printed on special kinds of paper. I then had them framed and submitted one into a contest to be displayed in Moore College Of Art And Design’s galleries in Philadelphia. I have worked really hard to produce these pieces and I hope others can heavily relate to my journey. I hope you enjoy the perspective of the photographs that I am presenting and I wish everyone luck through the long years we have ahead of us.

From Trash To Cash

For our Botany project, we decided to team up with Mr. Johnson to decide what the school needed. In that conversation, we discussed the possibility of making a biodegradable compost bin for the school to efficiently expose of organic materials.This would include fruit peelings, leftover food, and any other type of decomposable waste. In our bin, we would include a mixture of dirt and compost along with a lid to contain moisture. Adding worms to the bottom of the mixture was also a thought to help with the decomposing process.


For design, we decided that we would use a basic trashcan along with a wheel-based frame for easy mobility. The trash can would be mounted onto the base where it could easily be transported for disposal along with a protective cage to surround it. When stationary, there would be some kind of support to keep it from being knocked over or blown away from the wind. The soil that the bin produces can also serve as fresh compost for the gardens outside making this school a lot more environmental friendly. There would be vents in the sides so leftover moisture and pressure wouldn't build up.  



In conclusion, our product could have came out more complete but we are still confident in our ability to make it productive. We wanted to incorporate more ideas and design enhancements but fell short in decisionmaking. Im confident that or project has the potential to truly reflect SLA and its core values. It would be a very significant addition to our learning community and would teach kids how to care for the world around us. I hope that future projects we create will be better and truly leave an impact on how we learn.
