- My goals is to maintain a conversation with a Spanish person.

I plan to find someone on livemocha but I do not understand that site so I might use someone in our school.

Questions I could ask first are like conversation starters and start off with simple spanish 1-2 stuff.

"Bullying takes place within a larger social context comprised of the relationships among students, teachers, administrators, and staff of the school as well as the members of the larger community.  These relationships contribute to the culture of the school and set the stage for the degree to which bullying situations are tolerated or taken on. BULLY shows the complexity of the community and culture surrounding any school  exemplified in the aftermath of Tyler Long’s suicide in Murray County, Georgia.  Five weeks after his death, Tyler’s parents organized a town hall meeting to bring their community together to talk about bullying."

This Q3 I didn't follow a lot of the assignments given but I did do work. This first picture Is a picture of me when I was younger and I first editted it on the computer and then used another resource to add extra graphics to it. I like my photo edits for this picture it gives it a vintage feel with a war effect.

This assign met I had to draw a picture of myself. We used mirrors in class to look at ourself while we drew the picture my indeed it was a challenge. I drew the picture picture from a side view because it would be a little easier. Drawing pictures of yourself is a little hard because you do't really know how to draw yourself as you see yourself. It is much easier to draw other people. 

I this picture I drew a sunset with pastel. One day in art I wasn't really feeling the assignment given so I started to shaded colors together and before I knew it I had a sunset. I first started using shades of yellow and orange and drew a half circle in yellow, the shaded orange around it. Then I used shades of blue and green for water. Together this formed a warm sunset.

I this assignment we had to shade objects and I shaded an object I drew myself that I saw in my mind. So there are a series of rectangles around each other and I as I drew the shapes I began to shade. At first the shade was hard because you had to go from a hard shade to a soft shade ad sometime it was difficult to transition but as I did more It got much easier.

This quarte I have completed ​about 5 mixes all long then the previous quarter.

this quarter was one of the hardest for me as a mixer, I had to get my name out there to the public so that way I could start to gain more ground apart from my local sene.I did research on dj's and mixers from other countries such as DJ LOBO, DJ ENUFF,DJ ALEX SENSATION,DJ HULKA, and i cam to the con conclusion that i have to understand the past so that I can enhance my future, so I went threw all my music and mix all of the old thing with a drop of the new things.

 For the next quarter I want to continue my research and also do look up on other dj's from Chile and brazil.... 

Here are the mixes I made this Quarter

Art Journal 

For Q3 advanced art, I used a different style to bring most of my drawings to life. One of the artist tools that mainly are presented in my artwork is the use of pencil. I enjoy incorporating pencil into many of my drawings because I like to add shading and shadow textures. I love giving my drawings a more realistic feel so that my observers can actually get a taste of my art work and how I have improved over the last 1Q and 2Q. Overall I am very impressed with the styles I used and the progress that has come all this way from finishing all the artwork.

 

Self - portrait:

In this portrait that I have drawn of myself, I feel I could of done a better job at more of the shading aspect of the picture. I think there is room for improving this picture with more of the shadowing and shading around the eye area. The texture of the hair was my favorite part when I was creating this part of the portrait. I like giving things a texture and drawing it to seem realistic.

 

Texture Drawings:

Texture drawing is what I mainly progress in more of my detailed explanations about my drawings because it was a big part of the act of style I was incorporations into each of my drawings. In this picture I used a vase that I drew in order to show the process of shading and the use of shadowing. I like drawing still figures with good lighting because I am able to catch every aspect of angles to allow shading and shadowing.

 

Shading Practice:

Here are a few shading practice drawings that I have done to improve my shadowing and to allow the viewpoints of each of the different shading. My favorite part about shading in the different textures is blending in the final product.

This quarter in Art I didn't decide to opt out of the class completely but I did skip over some assignments. In the beginning of the quarter I was going through some family issues so drawing wasn't the first thing on my mind. Instead, I chose to do the assignments that had to do with lots of color. I know art is an expression and I only wanted to express positive feelings and emotions. The first project I did was a color wheel. The color wheel consists of the primary colors, secondary colors, and tertiary colors. When I started, I had no clue what tertiary meant but once I started painting it all made sense. I used watercolors to paint my color wheel. At first, I thought I was doing the color wheel wrong because my colors didn't exactly match up to the ones I saw online but Ms. Hull informed me that you'll never get it to be perfect especially with the different textures you could use.


The second project I did was my own interpretation of the Primary Colors. There wasn't a real format of how we were supposed to do, it just had to include the 3 Primary colors. I decided to put the colors on the paper in the form of stripes. The basic premise of my project was to basically tell everyone that these are just the basics and the rest is up to you. I added up 2 of each of the primary as if I was doing math colors but I never showed the outcome. I want people to do what they want with the colors and mix them the way they want to and make whatever colors they choose. It's really all up to them. Art is about what you want it to be so I won't be the person to dictate your artistic expression.

This was the most challenging quarter for me but the work I've completed makes me proud despite everything I've recently gone through.

I oped out this quarter

PSSA Review!

Fresh off handily beating their arch rival and divisional nemesis Randolph for the first time last week by a final count of 14-4, SLA Baseball stepped foot onto some unlikely hallowed ground at  35th and Oxford  Fairmount Park. In the final game of the 2011 season the Rockets were heavy underdogs against a strong Strawberry Mansion team. But SLA was surging as well in recent "must win" games, and crushing Freire 16-1 in just 3 innings of no-hit ball by All-Star senior Brandon Williams helped set up the "win and you're in" contest. In the end, that game- a nail-biting, see-saw, war of attrition- ended in dramatic fashion with Williams forcing Mansion's best hitter to pop up with the based loaded to secure the 14-12 victory. The win gave SLA an 8-4 overall record, completing a lightning-quick turnaround from the previous 4-8 inaugural campaign, and shockingly propelled SLA into the city playoffs for the first time in school history. Had they lost the game they would have been knocked out by way of head-to-head tie breaker with their bitter rival Randolph, but in beating Mansion they leap frogged them and secured the #2 seed in the playoffs. That team would go onto hold toe-to-toe with the Philadelphia Charter Academy, a B Division powerhouse with a stacked lineup- for five innings before finally relenting. The season ended, but the magic was just beginning. While SLA lost a talented core of seniors- namely John Desalis, Marshall Johnston, Anthony Seeley and Brandon Williams- the team retained it's young core of underclassmen who played pivotal roles in creating a team that believed in itself.  CLICK HERE FOR FULL STORY
