El secreto del Cerdo Por Julian Makarechi
Había
una familia en la cuidad de Swaggtown. Había un papá, una mamá, un hijo, y una
hija. La familia vivía en una cueva de swagg. La familia tenía un cerdo. Era un
cerdo especial. El cerdo era bastante swaggeristic. El cerdo tenía un secreto.
El cerdo estaba estupido. El cerdo lloraba. El cerdo le sollozó al carnicero,
“El mar, Mamacocha, está feo. Mamacocha va a comer Pedro Machuca.” Habia un
problema. Era un problema grave.
El
cerdo le mandó al carnicero , “Escala la cuidad ,as plano con tu familia.” La
familia caminó hacia la cuidad mas plano con el cerdo. La cuidad mas plano e llamaba Chillin
Ville.
Había
una sacapunta. El cerdo le dijo al sacapuntas, “ Hay un problema. ¡ El mar,
Mamacocha, está feo. El mar va a comer Pedro Machuca. Sube la cuidad mas plano
con nosotros.” La sacapunta comprendió perfectamente. La sacapuntas se escapó
con el grupo.
Había
una mascara. El cerdo le exclamó a la mascara.” Hay un problema. ¡El mar, está
enojadísimo. El mar va a comer Pedro Machuca. Escala la cuidad mas plano con
nosotros.” La mascara comprendió bien. La mascara no caminaba con el grupo. La
mascara voló.
Había
un reloj. El cerdo le dijo al reloj.” Hay un problema. ¡ El mar, Mamacocha,
está feliz. El mar va a comer Pedro Machuca. Sube la cuidad mas plano con nosotros.”
El reloj entendió. El reloj se fue con el grupo.
Había
un pollo. El cerdo le explicó al pollo, “ Hay un problema. ¡ El mar, Mamacocha,
está furioso. El mar va a comer Pedro Machuca. Escala la cuidad mas plano con
nosotros.” El pollo comprendió. El pollo no caminó con el grupo. El pollo voló.
Había
un mural . El cerdo le dijo .” Hay un problema. ¡ El mar, Mamacocha, está
peligrosso. El mar va a comer Pedro Machuca. Sube la cuidad mas plano con
nosotros.” El mural no les hizo caso. El mural no se fue con el grupo. El mural
era demasiado perezoso.
El
grupo subió la cuidad mas plano. La familia, el cerdo, la sacapuntas y el reloj
subieron Chillin Ville , la cuidad mas plano. La mascara y el pollo volaron a
Chillin Ville.
El
mar subió. El mar subió con furia. Había un explosión. Era un explosión grave.
El mural no estaba con el grupo. El mural corrió. El mural no caminó. El mural
no voló. El mural corrió rápido. El mural subió la cuidad mas plano. El mural estaba feliz.
Por
el fin mar, Mamacocha, estaba triste y no subió más. El mar guapo. La familia guapa.
El cerdo guapo. Los otros cosas bajaron. Y todos estaban felices. Y ya no había
problemas.
Behavior of Gasses
- The behavior of gasses is a very broad and vast topic that covers a multitude of sub topics. Under this subject, the state of Pennsylvania has picked three main ideas that they require students to know. These three things are Boyle's law, Charle's law, and the ideal gas law. This blog post has an explanation of the three, a bit about their history, and how they will be used in the PSSA testing.
Boyle's Law:
On the PSSA this type of material could be expressed in a question asking for one to solve for one of the variables in the equation. For example, a question could state the starting volume and pressure as well as the final amount of pressure and ask for you to solve for the final volume. Ex:
1. If the pressure of an ideal gas is changed from 145 atm to 290 atm, what is the gasses change in volume, assuming the original volume was 75.0mL?
a. 150 mL
b. 37.5 mL
c.72.5
d. Not enough information is given

Charle's Law
On the PSSA this type of material could be expressed in a question asking for one to solve for one of the variables in the equation. For example, a question could state the starting volume and temperature as well as the final temperature and ask for you to solve for the final volume. Ex:
2. Bob wants to find the volume of a gas in a cylinder. He knows that at a temperature of 30˚C the gas had a volume of 6.0 L. The temperature of the gas is now 35˚C. What is the volume of the gas now? **Note you must convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273 to the Celsius measure**
a. 7.0 L
b. 175 L
c. 6.09 L
d. 15 L
Here is a link to an animation of this: http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/airplane/glussac.html
Ideal Gas Equation
On the PSSA this type of material could be expressed in a question asking for one to solve for one of the variables in the equation. Ex.
a. 0.191 mol
b. 5 mol
c. 0.56 mol
d. 19 mol

Theory of Evolution - Aja and Jésus
Something things that have been tested or experimented happened with Darwin and his exploration. He began this world known theory when he started to explore how different genes work and the processes in which they create new life forms.
One popular experiment/observation was Darwin’s Finches. New species of finches in the Galapagos Islands sprung around area, with different beaks and characteristics. He was intrigued by this discovery and only aided to develop the modern theory of evolution. What made the finches so interesting was that they basically evolved to depending on what food they need in a certain area. From bugs, to leaves, to seeds, these were the foods different finches ate. And believe it or not, they each needed different beaks for them.The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and humans appeared within the last-2 million years. Microorganisms appeared
first - 3.4 million years ago. The plants of the land appeared about
400 million years ago and it was about 225 million years ago when
mammals and dinosaurs walked the earth. Which evolves into the topic of
Natural selection which acts upon the mutation that are inherited from
one generation to the next. Out of all the type of genes there are only
the genes in the sperm cell will
get passed on to the future generations. Thus causing any potential
alter to the configuration of any population. Enabling us to keep track
of how things change over time, which is what we call Evolution.
Sample Questions
1. In what ways would an animal that eats earthworms with its beak evolve to eat berries off a tree?
a. It’s beak would get smaller for more precise grabbing.
b. They will change color to resemble a tree.
c. Their claws will be able to cling on trees.
d. Nothing will change.
2. An animal that lived in water and adapted to live on land, would most likely be a:
a. amphibian
b. invertebrate
c. Cold - blooded
d. Reptiles

Q3 Artwork
Next I did a self portrait of myself. I started by drawing the interior parts of my face which include my nose and mouth. After that I added more strokes to the nose and mouth to make the drawing come to life. Then I tried the best I could to draw the outer parts of my body which would include my ears and the top of my hairline. I had a hood on so I wanted to make myself appear as though I had one on. I think that was one of the best drawings I did this year.
The texture drawing was the worst thing I did this quarter. I found this task too difficult for my skill set, but I tried my best. I attempted to draw strands of hair with different sections looking more intense than others, but I think it turned out remedial. I did not do water colors or fur because I none of the ones I did were even worth turning in.

ADVART: Q3 - Dakota Foster
Color Wheel
Texture
Shade
Self Portrait
Color Wheel
For the Color Wheel, I only was able to use yellow, blue and red. They are the primary colors, when mixed and matched they are able to make any secondary color. I wanted to keep my Color Wheel simply and classic. I was inspired by the one in our art textbooks and I went off of that one. I drew a circle and separated it into 12 sections. Each section had the color it was going to be. The paper I used wasn't that good though because it started to fold in on itself and everything like it. My technique for doing the watercolors and getting them to blend was to water down the base coat for the paint. Then, I would paint it over with the color need to be mixed and then the colors would bend easily.
Texture
For Texture, I did scales, water, and hair.Scales
I based it off of the video that Ms. Hull gave us and tried to make it close to that. First, I made the outline of the snake. Next, I drew the eye in the middle of the head and drew the tongue. The head of the snake is full of diamonds of different sizes. Then, I drew a gride on the rest of the body. In every square, I drew an oval shape to make it look like scale. I would say that it came out well.
Water
I had a really hard time trying to figure out what I wanted to do for water. I was doing many different types of water: still water, moving water, and water hitting rocks. None of them came out as nice as I would have wanted to them too. So, I decided to do waves. I saw a picture of them and thought I could make them look great. First, I drew the biggest wave and then drew the smaller waves under it. I made sure the curl of the waves overlap each other. Then, I drew lines inside the waves so, it would look like the water is moving in all direction. Also, the viewer's eye could follow the lines and know which way the water is going.
Hair
I repeat, I repeat Hair was the hardest texture for me. I don't know why but it just was. I couldn't get it down. I tried short hair, long hair, medium hair, curly hair, and bone straight hair. But, the pictures never looked right. So, I just put up the one that I thought was the best. I drew the outline of the face first and then, I drew the hair around the girl's head. I made it so that one side of the head was bald because I think those type of hairstyles' are bold.
Shade
For this part I did, Exercises 1, 2, 3, and 4. I think these show that I need more help with shading. First, I was pretty certain that I was using the wrong type of pencil - the grade. But, I tried anyway. The exercise weren't as easy as I thought they would be. I was trying to blend the pencil together, but that didn't work either. I didn't know what I was doing wrong but, I knew that I was doing something wrong. For my technique, I would start with a coat all over the page with a white part left over. Then, I would go over the part that would be the darkest part and blend that in with my fingers. I would keep doing that all over the parts after that, but I would go lighter and lighter as I went down the photo.Self Portrait
I don't really know what I have to say about this photo. I would say that I did my best. This was the hardest for me out of all the drawings. I didn't want to make myself look ugly because I would be embarrassed. I tried to separate everything equally with the lines of the page. I think my face was too big in the picture compared to my body, my face stood out more in the picture. I wanted to make everything portionable and realistic.Q3_ArtistStatement_Garcia
Through out this quarter we used the basics from the last two quarters and made better art pieces. Since in the last two quarters we had worked on perfecting our shading and drawing object more real with out using the original black lines since there are no black lines lining everything. We had to make a Color wheel which demonstrated the use of colors and what can be done with only the colors blue, red, and yellow. We also had to make two self portrait to develop our detailing in drawings. As well we also had to make a perspective drawing which opens our eyes to nature and fixing our outer detail drawing. This quarter truly shows our artistic abilities and shows if we were able to capture everything we learned from the videos and from what Ms. Hull taught us due to the fact that we were given more responsibility with out work and more freedom to make it our own.
During the time that it took me to make my self portrait I learned more about capturing the human body. While I was drawing I noticed more about the features on my face and body than I would on a regular basis looking in the mirror. I started off by drawing the basic features on the human face and thought I was done. I did not realize that it didn't look like me and I had drawn some other average person. Thats when I had to really analyze my face to capture specific details and make the drawing more me. Thats where shading comes for skin tone and to capture lighting. This had to be my favorite art piece since it was challenging and I'm proud with what turned out. This is something I would like to practice another time to master it and hopefully then learn to get into more detail such as hair or eyes.
Below are my drawings
Self Portrait
Qaswa's Q3 Art work
SMALL SELF PORTRAIT
LARGE SELF PORTRAIT
For texture, it was very hard to focus in drawing the realistic hairs and water because they all are based on the shading which makes them look real.
Drawing water is the most difficult i believe because layers of water are difficult to make but i tried to show that by shading.
Scales is the easy to draw if we know some of the basic points to draw that.

ALL MY ART WORK FOR THIS QUARTER :)
Shade, 12x18” each (4)
Sabrina Stewart-McDonald_Q3
Self-Portrait: I like the shading in the picture, but it doesn't really look too much like me. I showed my mom and she said it looks like me when I was younger, so that makes me think that I see myself as younger than I really look. I really like the eyes, also. Each time I draw eyes, I think they get more and more realistic looking. I also practice drawing them in my spare time.
Artist Statement Q3 - Breeanna Noi
I worked on my self portrait that didn't quite end up looking like me because I chose features of my face from different pictures. So my self portrait looks good TO me, but it doesn't look LIKE me.
The next piece of art was the 2 point perspective that is shown to be very rough. I'm not very good at drawing landscapes so when I get frustrated with drawing specific detail of a sky or of the ground, I just turn everything into a rough shadow of the entire landscape.
Afterwards, I worked on my color wheel using the primary colors of water colors. It was fun because I felt like I was back in elementary school using my general knowledge of colors to match it up to the color wheel.
As for the textures and drawing hair, I'm not too experienced at drawing realistic looking features. My features look cartoonized in a way. However, I looked at an image of a braid and I tried my best to show a realistic sketch. My strokes were hidden from my over-shading so it isn't how I wanted it to turn out.
My other pieces are various works of art I've worked on during the quarter. The girl's back and her hair is something that is the most realistic I'll get in a picture. My "Batman" looking image was something simple that I wanted to try out, so I did. Lastily, I drew Stewie as a nerd because Stewie has always been a challenge for me to draw. His head was either too round or too oblong, but with this sketch, I'm finally content with Stewie's head.
Quarter 3_Artist Statement
Point Perspective-
1. Projects I have completed:
- Self Portrait small
- Self portrait large
- texture
- 2 point perspective
- shade
3. I did not complete the color wheel.
4. During this quarter I slacked off a bit. My work ethics consisted of just looking at the work and how I could get it done. I didn't really spend as much time as I could on each item, although I wish I could have. Overall, I was pretty good with trying new things out although trying to figure out how to draw my self portrait was the most time consuming. I think that I could have worked more on other assignments. Lastly, I think that I should have made my own deadlines for this quarter.
5. Next quarter my goal is to try abstract emotion because this is very interesting because I am not great with displaying my emotions or even trying to draw emotions. Another goal for next quarter is to work hard on my observation landscape assignment because I have trouble collecting real world scenarios and putting it on paper the way it looks.
