Me: 1. What motivated you to vote?
Ms. Boykin: My grand daughter goes to Temple and told me Joe Sestak was personally handing out flyers. That showed dedication I had to go vote.
Me: 2. Do you vote every election?
Ms. Boykin: I vote at every Presidential Election.
Me: Do you know why we vote on Tuesday's ?
Ms. Boykin: Yes! Because they assume I don't have anything else to do. Just kidding, I remember asking my dad why, and I think he said something like way back , people went downtown all the time on Tuesdays to go to the markets. It was the most busy day so they kept it on Tuesdays, to keep a strong vote turnout.
Me: Where do you encounter the most campaigning ads?
Ms. Boykin: On Tv and on my dag' gon porch!
Me: Did you learn about voting in school?
Ms. Boykin:Nope!
Me: Are you always sure of who you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth or do you deliberate in the booth?
Ms. Boykin: Most of the time I know because I mainly go vote during Presidential Elections.
Me: Thank you so much for your time Ms.Boykin.
Ms. Boykin: No problem.
When starting this project I didn’t have a set idea on what I wanted to do. I never had a solid idea on how I wanted to make a project out of recycled material. At first I thought, wow a project made of recycled material this is a good idea. But I didn’t want to add none recycled material to it, I wanted to be made out of all recycled material. After thinking about a few ideas and sketching some ideas out I started coming up with some projects. I didn’t want the projects of projects just to do. I wanted them to be connected to me or relate to me somehow. What I had decided to do was paint over used cardboard boxes and cut and past letters and words from recycled magazines. After cutting out the letters and words I planned on making a poem about our environment and how recycling is a good idea. At first I didn’t have a poem on how to write it so I found a recycling poem that a 4th grader had made, cited it and used it as part of my project. The world’s greatest artwork wasn’t finished in a day, and neither was mine. But I plan to finish the poem idea and place it on the school wall so that every one can see it.
Another idea I had was similar to the artist we saw at the exhibit. Her name was Aurora Robson. She took her nightmares and made them into her own creations. She took plastic caps, bottles, and string. She cut them and made them look like jellyfish and flowers hanging from the ceiling. My idea was to make the bottle caps and bottles into a collected of flowers. In my head I thought of paining them a light color so the glossy effect from the bottle still showed. I just started this project a few weeks ago and it’s taking me some time to do this project. I hope to also complete this project for the second quarter benchmark as well.
These projects that we are doing is tying into a quote that we are all probably know. Someone else’s trash is another person treasure. The students of advanced art took this quote into consideration without even realizing it. We’re helping our community and giving the thrash/ recycled material a voice. A voice that hopefully will be heard.
The
idea behind this piece of art is the idea of life coming from the strangest of
places; this specific example being technology. It is meant to symbolize that I’ve noticed that even though
some people think that technology can bring about the demise & downfall of
society, it can also bring us life in various ways.
I
collected materials that I felt could represent technology: an extension cord,
dvds & cds, a mother board, a cd stand, glue, & wire. I glued each cd & dvd, stacking
them onto the cd stand. Then I cut
the extension cord, glued it to the cd stand, & wrapped it with the wire
tightly to make it stand up straight. I then glued the motherboard to the top,
to make the sculpture look like a flower in a pot.
The project was of importance to me, and using the recycled pieces of technology really made the project good for the environment. It also made sure I showed that life really can come out of the weirdest part of the world. This project showed me that simple things and simple people can make a difference in the world.

The purpose of this project was to teach Noah some Spanish basics so he could survive on his travels in Spanish speaking countries. We had to incorporate some things we had learned like past and present tense verbs.
Though we did not break up the video in sections such as, "Past Tense Verbs", "Present Tense", "Greetings", etc. If you follow along it is easy to understand the conversation.
We used a interview format because this might actually be a situation he enters in another country. Interviews are also places where you are judged on the way you speak. We found that using a plausible example could improve the quality of the video
