Me Rutina Diaria. (My Daily Routine)

My monologue project was about the inflation issue in Zimbabwe. They had a shortage in food which led to the food rising drastically in prices. Many people in zimbabwe do not have jobs so they could not afford this expensive food. The government decided to print much larger dollar bills, which made the inflation much worse. Eventually millions of dollars became worth almost nothing. This caused people to start paying for items with things other than zimbabwean dollars until the issue got a little better and they started to use different currencies.

Claire loves being able to hide who she really is behind a website identity.  Using this site, she is able to say anything that she wants about Natalie without having to deal with any negative consequences.  Also, on this site, she is friends with people from India who speak only very broken English aside from their native tongue.  Therefore, she has a way to let out her feelings to an audience, even though this audience really has no idea what she is talking about.  Today, she posted the following:

"There is a feeling of a hidden reality that comes with this site. i love it."

It is clear that Claire's online identity is benefiting her emotionally by letting her express her feelings that would otherwise be ignored in her physical reality.

Commentary on bushes selective view of the constitution.

Yesterday morning, I missed my chance at getting a pizza bagel.

There are always precious few. I walked past the breakfast line and they were not yet ready. I left. When I returned, I was too late-- they were all gone.

I was very sad. I thought that I would have to wait an unfathomable amount of time, days, maybe, to eat another pizza bagel.

But, hey, what do you know, they had pizza bagels for breakfast this morning too. It was a sign from the universe that I am cared for.

I was sure that there would be enough for me, but I budged in front of the long line for good measure.

I have a lot of math work to make up *SIGH*. This weekend will suck.

"​She know me like a book, its too easy to read my ass. Unhappy stressed, yelling don’t mislead my ass. I mean I make it so easy don’t please my ass. If the shoe was on the other foot and you would leave my ass, its true that, true that."

These painting I did for my Advanced Art class. The theme or era I decided to do was Japanese Art. At first I just did the one cherry blossom tree with the purple background. But then I wanted to do more. All of these painting were doodles at first then day after day it became more. The first cherry blossom tree is tranquility. The second photo is unnamed but I used paint to make the picture. I wanted to make it a pointillism affect so I used to finger and dotted on the paint. The picture was made to be trees on the outside and a river flowing in the middle. The second cherry blossom is love. And the fourth painting has my friend and I's hand print and in the middle it says "I love you". The only inspiration I had was things that I like. Flowers and painting.

For my artist focus I chose Omar Dogan. He's worked at Udon Entertainment for a long time, and he mainly focuses on realistic-cartoon type of stuff. Since Capcom (a video game software company) hires Udon for a lot of their Games' artwork the Udon crew always have something draw and that include Omar.
The reason I specifically chose Omar is for his style and colors (and because I love the art he does in some comics).

The first picture is Ibuki from the Street Fighter franchise. Omar worked on a 4 part comic book series with this character, going into details about their personal life. He did the same with two other characters from the franchise.

The second picture is a picture of my own creation, and I tried to emulate the eyes Omar does. 

A lot of the things in the drawings came out weird/wrong. The Right arm came out weird because I got lazy. On the second one, the eyes are aren't parallel and looked crooked. Anyway, I enjoyed studying Omar Dogan.

The last picture is Omar's version of Ibuki.

Its finally that time. I going to go visit my school and I'm way to exited.

So basically in quarter three, I focused on a vast variety of things. The main focuses of this quarter were shadowing, still life, and the human body. To mirror those focuses is my art work. Behind all of this though, each picture is supposed to show something about myself. 

The first drawing of this quarter was just a pencil drawing of a hand. IF was the smallest picture of the year. In the picture that I drew, the hand looks like its reaching out for help. From the shading and shadows of the picture you can tell that something is hanging over the hand. The picture is symbolism, saying that there are always things that hang over our shoulders and try to hold us down but it is up to us to try to get ourselves out from under them. 

The second drawing of this year was a pencil drawing of myself. For this picture what I did was take one of my favorite picture of myself and then just try to remake it with pencil. In this picture, I was wearing a hoodie and my head was tilted down. When i tried to portray the tilt in my drawing it didn't come out as well as I'd liked but the picture was still okay. Once I finished the picture in pencil I went over it and colored it in just to enhance the emotion behind the art. The picture gives off deep and somewhat sad pictures. 

In the third drawing of this quarter I had to do another self portrait but this time it had to be bigger and in charcoal. This was my third favorite picture to draw this quarter. In this picture I attempted to draw myself looking off to the side again, using a picture I took of myself as my model. This picture was hard at first because it took a while to try to proportion out the drawing. At first the head was too round or the shoulders came out too far. In the end though, I was proud with the outcome of it. The picture shows a stronger, serious version of me which is a side of me people aren't used to seeing. 

The fourth picture in this project was a full figure charcoal drawing of someone. I chose to draw my friend Michael Chase. I had took a picture of him a day or two before hand and so I used that picture in order to draw. This was the most annoying picture of the quarter just because I could not, no matter what i tried, get the picture perfectly the way I wanted. Lines were too far up or down and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. In the end I just gave up working on it and stuck with what it was. 

The fifth drawing was a drawing of a clear bottle. Now originally I started and completed a drawing of a soap bottle. The shading and lines were beautiful. But then I took that drawing and used it for another classes assignment. I'm not sure if I'm ever going to get it back and I never took a picture of it so, instead of harping on that I just went and drew another drawing. The drawing I'm submitting as a final is a sketch of a water bottle that my mom constantly buys. It's in the shape of a baseball. At first I was going to place the bottle on a table but when I thought about it, I fiigured it would be more interesting to have it in my hand. 

The sixth draw was a still life of a an area in the art studio that Ms.Hull set up for us to draw. This drawing was the most fun because I wasn't really interested in doing it but I did anyway. It turned out okay.


The seventh drawing was a charcoal drawing of a clear bottle on big paper. I enjoyed making this picture slightly just because of how I set it up. I placed the bottle in a window seal and then attempted to draw literally everything in the picture. That included the car driving by that got caught in the picture. I think this is one my my favorite pieces because of the fact that it can be taken to have a humorous yet sinister tone. When I look at it, it makes me think that an evil bottle is looking down onto a car that it's hated for years, plotting ways to bring harm to it. 


To finish this off, I'm going to talk about the finale piece. For our final piece I chose a specific genre and then drew a six hour piece about it. The genre I chose was anime because it's my favorite type of art. To display it, all I did was take my school lab coat and then design on it something pertaining to anime. The reason I chose to design my lab coat is because I've always looked at clothing from stores like fye and hot topic and liked the cartoons and anime themes that are placed on them. I've always wanted to design my own. So I did. 

On the lab coat I drew a girl playing the flute because that's what I love to do. And so the theme of the coat is music. 
Originally she had arms and hands but it was very difficult to draw on the cloth so I ended up just not giving her them. 

Dayum the Phillies beat the Mets 11-0. That kind of sucks for the Mets. I actually feel bad even though we lost 7-1 yesterday. Its kind of funny how fast things can change huh? 

Going into this quarter I have to admit that I was nervous. This was the first time that I had drawn objects that were in front of me and taking into consideration shadows. This was also my first time using charcoal and drawling larger pictures. It was a challenge trying to complete one drawling in one week for me because i was really trying to take my time and make everything perfect.  It often got very stressful. But as the quarter progressed I got the hang off drawling and instead of being stressful it actually relieved the stresses that I had from other classes and I began to enjoy myself. I was surprised at some of my finished products.

I have no complaints about what the teacher should have done differently. She was there to help and let us handle drawling art in a way that was good for us. She allowed us to spread out through the hallways and listening to music. Which made the environment more relaxing making it easier to draw. As for what I could have done differently, I would definitely say that in the beginning I should have take the class more seriously so that I would have to be stressed when it came to finishing the pieces.

For the extra project I choice Cubism as my genre. Cubism is an abstract art form. In this type of art the subject is shown in many different angles by using geometric shapes. I choice this as my genre because when I looked at some pictures of Cubism it seemed as though there were a bunch of shapes, creating somewhat of a mosaic,but under was also another picture. Kind of like one picture on top of another. As you look at my pieces can you tell what the hidden object is?

These were hard because a lot of the mediums and drawing styles weren't the ones I was accustomed to. I had to adjust the way I held a pencil (or piece of charcoal for that matter) and how I approached the object/ person/ feature I was drawing. I really liked doing the hand drawings, because when I was drawing my hands, I could look very closely at them without using a mirror. Also, instead of looking up then glancing back down to draw, I could hold my hands near the paper and just glance to the side quickly. I think I was most successful in drawing my hands, because I feel like I really got the shadowing down compared to the facial pictures. Drawing for a week made me feel relaxed. I looked forward to art because I knew that all I had to do was sit down and draw exactly what I saw. I think there should have been a short lesson on human anatomy because when I was drawing the full figure, I wasn't sure if I drew things to the right proportion or if I was drawing parts of the body the right way. I think I should've paced my time more. I finished everything on time, but I did some things out of order and I believed I would've been more organized if I would've just followed the schedule online.

For my artist I chose a French street artist called Monsieur Qui. I wanted to do something a little different and out of my element, so I wanted to do something dealing with street art. As I looked through some of the most famous street artist, I noticed Monsieur Qui's work. The work I based my drawings off of are kind of like calligraphy letters with a twist. I basically took the letters in his work and changed them around to make something new. I decided to do the letters because I knew I'm not very good at lettering and I wanted to challenge myself.
