Probablemente sabes sobre la muerte de Seymour Hoffman, Uno de los mejores actores de nuestro tiempo. No he visto lo suficiente de las películas fue en, pero todavía me inspira respeto. Su muerte fue horrible y extremadamente austero y bastante malo. Su presencia como actor no afecta la triste su muerte. Sin embargo, ha hecho que la gente darse cuenta de lo increíble que era. Me dijo algo que me espera a mí todo el tiempo, sobre todo porque soy un aspirante a actor. Él dice que tiene un público que debe actuar como es el momento más importante de su vida. Incluso si no tienen nada que demostrar a ellos, puede tener un impacto sólo a través del esfuerzo. Se aplica a las cosas además de actuar demasiado. Yo sigo sus palabras en casi todo lo que hago. Si usted se ha comprometido a algo, no hay ningún motivo para no al 100 %. Me han estado más interesados en su estilo de actuación en las últimas semanas, y voy a ir a ver sus películas. Él ha hecho algunas sorprendentes actuaciones en su vida y quiero estudiar a todos.Entrar en el negocio es una de las cosas más difíciles de hacer, y no algún tipo de proyecto. La mayoría de la gente entiende como un proyecto y nunca hacer que todo el camino, las personas que cometen sus vidas para siempre encontrar las partes más interesantes para jugar. Michael Caine, Christian Bale, Robert De Niro, Natalie Portman. Estas personas han venido actuando desde que eran jóvenes y muestra cómo se encuentran. Cuando tomamos el Sr. Kay interino del año pasado clase me inspiró, y que me hizo darme cuenta de que actuar era increíblemente divertido y realmente da miedo. Cada segundo antes de que se encuentran en etapa es el terror, y cada segundo en el escenario es sereno.

Isabela Supovitz-Aznar Benchmark
- What did you set out to do?
Initially in my benchmark I planned to make a multimedia video that explained the process I went through in writing my first novel (which remains a 200 and something word work in progress). I wanted to explain to people how my writing grew and reflect on it, but unfortunately my camera was broken so I instead decided to write a new chapter that was not planned, which is about a funeral. It was inspired by the movie Harold and Maude.
- How does your work incorporate the art of storytelling?
My piece is a story, and it is a story that may be confusing to some who don't know about the cartels, but I think life and death are interesting concepts that people don't think about too much. My piece incorporates the art of storytelling because in this chapter, I intend to make something beautiful out of fear which in its own sense is art. As someone famous once said "Art is supposed to make those who are too comfortable, uncomfortable, and those who are uncomfortable, comfortable.
- What do you hope your audience gains from your work?
I hope my audience grasps an understanding of why cultural awareness is important, but more importantly I hope they take with them a piece of heart in their stories. I hope anyone who reads this chapter thinks about what it means to write, and I hope they gain a sense of enjoyment, as well as some room for thought about death and its meaning relative to our world.
- What did you gain from doing this work.
I think this chapter was really experimental for me and I gained a better understanding of what death means to me, and how to describe emotion vividly. Mainly I think what I gain from this is advice and feedback from anyone who does decide to read it.

-What did you set out to do?
For this project What I set out to do was to tell a story about two people who have been a strong influence on me and who have changed my life so much in a good way. I wanted to show that family means so much and sometimes just saying I love you or I appreciate you can go a long way.
-How does your work incorporate the art of storytelling?
-How does your work incorporate the art of storytelling?
Everyone has there own special way of telling a story and what makes a story powerful is how unique It is. But I created something that is very personal to me and that makes me really emotional. It also talks about me and how I grew up. I used pictures and music to tell a story.
-What do you hope your audience gains from your work?
-What do you hope your audience gains from your work?
From watching this I hope my audience just learns something new about me and my thoughts why I do what I do, Why they hear me say I cant Im babysitting a lot, why I feel obligated to do certain things and I want people to see how much I care about my niece and nephew and I want them to see that you should really appreciate family because in the end they are all you have.
-What did you gain from doing this work.
-What did you gain from doing this work.
From this work for one gained a lot of patience being said that I had a lot of technical difficulties, but besides that I also realized that I should appreciate the people in my life because they have such an impact on me and I may not even know it.

Artistic Negative Space
What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
Negative space is the part of a drawing or photograph that surrounds an object. It helps to highlight the image and draw attention to multiple parts of it, in a way that makes it look simple. Negative spaces lets you see the outline of the object you are looking at. This way, you can see it from two different perspectives.
Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?
1. In my cutout, I was able to find the negative space by looking at the stencil and identifying the two different colors. Based on those colors, I could see that the white shapes were the negative space and the dark grey areas were the objects. This helped me figure out what I should cut and how it compares/fits in with the other spaces.
2. In my negative space drawing, I found the negative space by looking at the things behind the still life. This made it so that I was able to focus on the outline of the mug and saucer. I shaded in the space that wasn’t part of the main object of the drawing. This is called the negative space.
Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
It helps an artist to see in negative space because it adds depth to the drawing or photograph. You get to see some parts of the drawing that you wouldn’t usually be looking at.
How is negative space useful in creating art?
When creating art, you can do some very creative techniques with negative space to add depth and interesting aspects to your drawing. One thing that an artist can do is utilize the negative space to make the viewer see multiple images in the drawing.

This Girl Up website is the main outlet to my capstone. This site discusses what Girl Up is, the vision, mission, the stories, and how to start a club. The site has all of the clubs around the world. This site is very useful because it's a primary source. This source is one of the most important sources because it is the very outlet to my capstone.
The source has direct facts and key importance. This source is say this source is objective and biased. The source provides a outlet to understanding what Girl Up is but biased because a it talks about is Girl Up, no other organizations really.

The information is reliable and really inspiring.I use this site for reference on how to inspire girls and women.

University, Iowa State. "So Your the President..." Extension.iastate. Iowa State University, 1 Oct. 03. Web. 30 Jan. 2014. <http://www.extension.iastate.edu/publications/4H71A.pdf>.
The main arguments of this site is how to be a great president. The article on the site reflects how to make decisions, and be a powerful entity in the club. The article provides a list of guidelines that reflects how a president should run a club, and who should be elected to help them run it. The point of this article is to provide a clear understanding of a great leader, specifically a president. The article discuss how the president is the reflection of the club and is very important.
This source is very important to me and my project because I feel if you are going to lead people you need to know how to first. I want to be successful and that requires great technique an leadership skills. This source is much different from my Girl Up source because it was teaching me about a specific thing and nota idea. This article is a idea and facts about being a president and how to do the job well. I feel this source is reliable because it's a secondary source from a college. The source has facts, and key ideas that's reliable. This story seems to be biased to a certain idea of a president and not different ways to be successful. The article have a structured detail that focus on one way of being president an that's sort of biased.
The information from this source as said before is helpful with me and my project by preparing me to be a leader. The facts and so much don't help me prove anything, it helps me start, create, and be a better thinker. The concepts introduced in the article are very crucial.

Karly Bornstein Q4 Storytelling BM~ Friendships
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrwBFk3bquo&feature=youtu.be <---Project here
- What did you set out to do?
I was inspired by several videos to make my own video with the topic of friendship. This topic caught my interest from seeing different types of best friends around school, and friendship is also an important aspect of our lives. My idea was to talk to several best friends and do a short video on it based off of the questions I ask them.
- How does your work incorporate the art of storytelling?
Best friends spend a lot of time together, and stories will definitely be created from that. By making this movie, it tells a story of different kinds of friends and experiences they've had together. I think my video really demonstrates the diversity of students who have had a really close friendship for a while.
- What do you hope your audience gains from your work?
I want my audience to see how great friendships are and how much they shape our lives. I hope they now go to their best friend and share stories.
- What did you gain from doing this work?
I gained some more interviewing and editing skills. I really enjoyed interviewing all of the best friends. It was really interesting seeing how each of them interpreted the questions. I learned that you can't force answers out of people, and if they only want to give you short responses, you just have to work with that and make the best out of it.
My BM post and questions.
- What did you set out to do?
I set out to inform the people of C band Storytelling about a coincidence that I noticed after watching the NFL draft two weeks ago. I noticed that the inspection of the players and their showcasing was extremely similar to the auction block selling of slaves. I felt as though it would prove intriguing and beneficial to enlighten people of this revelation.
- How does your work incorporate the art of storytelling?
My collage allows for me to express my true creativity, while giving the viewers a chance to use their brains.
- What do you hope your audience gains from your work?
I hope they understand the infrastructure that is older than our grandparents, yet still in play. I wanted people to see that even though they are being compensated, their treatment is still relatively the same.
- What did you gain from doing this work.
I've gained better confidence for explaining the struggles of my people as we've struggled to maintain relevance in this world. I've also gained a sense of understanding; no matter how hard Blacks try in this country, we will never be considered equal.
