Element Print Project 2011

The element I did my print project is Sn, or Tin.  My element is used in can sodas, tin foils, tin cans and other canned goods are normally made of tin. Which makes it a very resourceful item. I came up with the idea for my tin because the tin man is very popular, he is also made of tin, so the element would be obvious. 
I think that my my final product was well done and it looks neat enough to be hung. I used negative and positive space in a good way to make the print more prominent.  If I had to do this project again, I would have to change the colors to make the print prettier.

Element sketch blog

​1. Negative space is the space in between the actual object at the background.
2. The negative space in my cut out could have been either the house or the background. I used the background in stool drawing as the positive space, and made the stool's outline the negative space.
3. Negative space allows you to show something without actually drawing it.
4. You can see more then just what the artist directly drew.

My scrapbooking project

For my project i made a scrap book called going through the years. within the pages of my scrap book i have pictiures of me of all ages, making all types of faces. at first i thought the project would be hard but it wasnt, it was actually quite fun and i look forward to making future books. this by far was my favorite scrapbook this year.

Element Print Project 2011


My elements name is Cerium. Cerium is used to make glass lamps and stained glass.
I was looking for something to make make a print. I was looking up what it was 
named for and what the uses are and I found that it was used for stained glass so 
I thought it would be cool to make it stained glass. I found and idea, them I sketched 
it out on paper. I then sketched it out on trace paper and I copied it on to the linoleum
, then i carved it out with a handle. And I rolled the ink and pressed it down on the paper. After it dried
I did the same thing three more time. I think that it when well. The only thing that I would do differently is have had my trace in a safer place.

Element Print Project 2011


My element is Nickel. Nickel is used for alloys, steel and jewelry. The reason why I
choose to have  my print the way it is , is because  Nickel comes from the word
Kupfernickel. Which means " Old Nick's Cooper" and Old Nick is devil. So I thought it
would be neat to have devil horns inside of the world since he lives in hell. I added
smoke because it's supposed to represent how hot hell is. And I just had Old Nick on the
top and Ni and it's atomic number underneath it. It didn't start from this one idea, I had
many more but I decided that this one was the best out of them all. I think this was a
really project. I was fun and easy. I learned about negative and positive space. Even
though in the beginning it was really hard but by the end it was really easy. I would try
to be more in deft about my drawing. I would want to change some things like instead of
having the earth just a semicircle it'll actually look like an earth. I would also change just
having devil horns and put he's whole head. Other then that I think it was pretty good.

Q4 Benchmark Reflection

 

What is your project about?

My project was all about me and what I used to be like as a baby and what I am like now. Compared to what I want to do when I grow up. I made a storybook because I thought that was the best way to get my creativeness out there. I also think that this was the best way to describe and show what I can do.

 

What did you like about it?

I liked that this was a very free project and that it was individual. I liked that I didn’t have to rely on anyone for anything and I could do whatever I wanted with my project. I also liked that we had many options on what direction to go and what to do with this project.

 

What would you do differently?

I would use more personal pictures and drawn less.


Jessica Hinton Q4

For my project, I made a little movie speaking about my past, present, and future. I like the pictures, and music I added to the movie. I think that if I could do anything differently, I would add more information to the movie. All in all, I enjoyed putting together this video. 


Msanders Q4 bencjmark.

​1. Mi proyecto e comic life. I likes the creativity part. I also liked when I check my history and made me ambitious for my future. I was actually going to do recordings too, But my imovie is messed up and deleted my recordings. So now It is just a picturesWhat I would also do is propably make more cartoon drawings. But I really didn't have the time to make alot of pictures.

Q4 BM Spanish Refection


My project is a mini book that shows my past, present and future in my life.
This benchmark was very fun for me but in a way kind of hard. i had to remember everything I have leered over the year to incorporate it in. I liked it it because I remember when I was not able to even write a simple sentence in Spanish but this project helped me to realize what I have built on over the year. If I were to do it over i'm not too sure what I would do differently because I like they way I have it now.

My mini three page book. With three different sections, the past, present and the future. The past section tells about how I was,they things I liked and who was important to me. My pictures for that part are pictures of my younger years.
The present section tells about how I am now and the things I like. My pictures for the section present section are of my family and I. The future section doesn't have any pictures because I can't see the future. Last but not least I made it pretty. lol

Matthew Print

My element is Selenium. My element is used to make red glass that can be used for candleholders. It can also convert AC electricity to DC electricity. I thought of this print because of the candleholders. It seamed like a cool idea. I had to draw the print on a piece of paper. Then I traced the picture backwards onto tracing paper. Then I traced it from the tracing paper onto a linoleum block backwards again. Next I carved the positive space out and made prints of it. I then had to glue the prints onto black paper and take pictures. I think this was a fun project and it was easy. I would do this project the same and doing nothing differently.

Humanities Portfolio 2011

 Throughout my sophomore year in Mr. Block’s history and English class I have gone about understanding many different parts of his class. There were times that I would struggle in his class or be able to be on top of everything we were doing. Then there were the times I did not enjoy one thing we were doing. Now that the year is over I have developed more knowledge to get general understandings from both English and History.


From English class I learned that your opinion could help make a difference. I realized this from writing our op-ed in History class and writing thesis papers in English class also in History. Something said in my op-ed was, “Just remember who was the savior for you at one point!” In my op-ed I wrote about how the shootings and weapons that kill police officers are wrong.

            I took a lot from the year I also took more understanding from in English class with our poetry unit. We wrote about whatever we wanted, but we had a certain form of poem we had to write. I wrote a poem about my dad it said, "Ever since that day I wished you were the father I thought you would be." ­From writing this poem I learned that peoples expressions or words can really tell who they are.

Another understanding from this year was something I learned from the letter we had to write somebody in english class. In this project I wrote a letter to my best friend Patrick. He made me realize that words from others can make you think twice about life. He just was apart of a bad situation and his action reminded me of something we read during class. This letter made me really think and it actually made him realize his wrong.

            The last and final thing I took from this year was the ability to be able to write and express how I felt. This all came from the journals we wrote and creative pieces and descriptive pieces we worked on throughout the year. The understanding is that the expression of writings actually brings out the best in you. I took this understanding from a descriptive writing piece I wrote about several scenes put into one to create a story. "He popped the question,” will you marry me?" This was the night when my stepdad proposed to my mom, this part in time of my life brought out the best of me and by writing about it made it show whom I was and how I reacted to the fact of everything going on.

            Now that you have seen some of the work I have done throughout the year I hope you got an understanding of the things I did during the year. This year went by so fast and we did so many things in both English and History. From all the work I have done I got the biggest understanding of all. From the beginning of year to the end you receive more then you think you can handle, and you become a brand new person in the end of it all.

My project is a story that is about my past, my future, and my present. 
I like that its about me and im unique. I like that its short but you can learn about what I like to do. 
I would make it longer, and write more next time.  I would add more detail to it.

Linoleum Block Printing:)

-My element was oxygen.

-Oxygen is used to keep up alive, and plants use it for photosynthesis. We use in for   oxygen tanks as well.

-I came up with my idea because when I went to the website example. I saw that the artist for my element drew a man with an oxygen tank in a jet. It gave me the idea to draw a scuba diver. I went on Google images and got inspired on how to draw him.

-The first thing I did was thought of my idea, and then I drew some sketches. After that I got approval from Ms. Hull and drew it on tracing paper. Then, I got a Linoleum square, and drew on my drawing backwards with pen. Next, I got tools to carve the positive space on the linoleum block. Lastly, I picked a few colors, and printed them.

-My thoughts on the project are that it was fun. I enjoyed printing them since I haven’t worked with paint in a while. I was lucky to get an element that I was familiar with, because I had already had several ideas in mind before we started.

-Next time, I would print a blue block because that’s the first color that I think of when I think of Oxygen. I would also draw the scuba diver differently, because it didn’t turn out as well as I thought it would.

Element Print Project 2011

My element is Neon. Neon is used for mainly advertising. Neon is also used in refrigerators because of the glow. After researching about Neon, I found out that Neon was discovered by Sir William Ramsay and Morris M. Travers after discovering of the Krypton. Neon was discovered through the study of liquefied. It is also known as the greek word for new. I quickly knew what I wanted to do. Since, the discovery came as a surprise, I made Sir William Ramsay with an amazed expression on his face. He has discovered Neon and it is new! I think I did good. It came out as I thought it would've. I would've made maybe an advertising sign.

Este Es Mi... Espaol Q4 BM

This project is a movie based on my past, present, and future. It shows aspects of my past, how I am now, and how I envision myself in the future. I like this because in about two minutes a person who doesn't know me very well, can get of taste of my personality and how I portray myself. I would have like to added more pictures from my past because it'd be easier to see where I came from. 

N.Harding Q4 Spanish 2 BM

For my Q4 bencamark, I used a sort of comic-style design to explain what I was like in the past, present, and what i think I'll be like in the future. I didn't think I'd like the idea of drawing, but I did get some enjoyment from the whole thing. I would like to learn how to draw better next time though, especially with shading, because some of those pictures were not good. I would also like to make them all a little bit longer, because they were all 4-panel comics, and I think some were a bit more vague than others.

Element Print Project 2011: Rosemary Flite

My element is sulfur.

It is used for gun powder, sulfur acid, and it is the color of one of Jupiter's moons. 

I got the idea for my print because once I read that one of Jupiter's moons is the same color as sulfur I thought that it would be neat to make my print the shape of a moon.

I went from researching what sulfur is used for to making 3 sketchs, shading in the neditive space in each. Then I chose the sketch that I beilived was the best and put it onto tracing paper. Afterwards cut out the shape from the and then just put the ink on and printed it(:

I think that the project was fun to do and I learned a lot about both art and science.

If I did the project again I would have cut out my shape more evenly so that when I printed it there wouldn't be random marks.

Element Print Project 2011

What is your element?
My element is Zinc.

What are some things your element are used for?
It is used to prevent corrosion of metals like iron and steel and in the body it helps in the healing process of wounds.

How did you come up with the idea for your print?
This symbolizes Zincs natural resistance to corrosion. It is a person that kind of resembles a teenage Captain America.

What steps did you take from your idea for the print to the final print?
First I traced it onto some tracing paper
Then I put the traced image on the linoleum (traced side down) 
I went over the lines to get the trace on the linoleum
Cut out the linoleum along the lines
Added paint to the linoleum
Put a paper on the the painted linoleum 
pressed down to make sure the paint got on the paper
Took off the excess paper 
Cut out an 8*8 square of construction paper
Glued print in the middle of the construction paper


What are your thoughts on the project?
 It was fun I think I did pretty good.

What would you do differently if you did this project again?
Choose brighter colors

Q4 BM Spanish 2

For this project we had to show the past, present, and future. I decided to do it as a song. I feel that the written part was good but I do not think that the pronunciation of words and quality of the recording is the best that I could do because it felt rushed with the end of school being so near.  
My life

Q4 Spanish Benchmark

​During this quarter, I've been working so hard to making this project go above and beyond. We learned how to say things in the past, present, and future. We also learned how to say what we want in our lives and what we expect in the near future. It was a lot of work putting this presentation together but I feel as though that I did a good job. Compared to the other students, I feel like I put in more work and try to use other vocabularies in my presentation. I'm absolutely proud of my proyecto and I hope you enjoy it.

Jenn Wright Final Spanish Project: Comics

For my project I drew tiny comics of myself in various situations answering the questions and scanned them into Comic Life. ​I enjoyed this project because of its flexibility. It left me a lot to do creatively. I genuinely like drawing the comics and coming up with the concept for each one. That is exactly what made me want to do the project. I looked forward to *trying* to be funny. Using Comic Life was so fun. It's so easy to use and I would definitely recommend it to anyone for a project. If I were to do it differently I would have drawn even more comics. The one where I say "Hola!" three times, I drew that one first. As you can see, I made that one idea into three separate drawings. If I had more time I would have drawn a lot more for each concept. This would have been about 12 pages long!
