I am glad I'm not the ONLY one still writing stories after the last day of classes. But I had to come back and do my last one. This one is an excuse for not doing yesterday. Simply I was tired. I completed Mr. Best's benchmark and helped Eddie out with his capstone by performing in the talent show. So when I came home around 7:30 I simply sat on my couch and fell asleep until 11:30 and then I got up and moved to my bed. Anywho, this daily story task has been fun. I gotta say I've been doing a lot better job of it this quarter. 

P.S - Probably not my last post. I kinda like doing this.

One piece of advice for my fellow graduates: buy the oodles and noodles by the bundle. 

Dear Finish line, 

So we finally meet. 

These are the pictures that I chose to show you. None of them are edited, because I felt comfortable and I thought they were already pretty good without having to be edited. The one of the hat, is probably my favorite, because it was an accident. I was at a concert in the middle of a mosh pit and my arm got hit mid shot and that's what I ended up capturing. So I thought that was pretty cool. Three of the  pictures, are from when I was in New York City. Its my favorite place, so I thought I'd share the pictures that I could get off my camera. I'll probably end up doing some before and after pictures, maybe play with the lighting some...but for now I just wanted to put some of them up.


















































This is the drawing that I did, I tried to re-do a drawing by Alex Pardee. This is the heart off The Used album In Love And Death. It's one of my favorite albums by them, and I absolutely love the album cover. The problem that I have, is I don't give myself enough space when I draw. I'll draw to close to the edge of the paper, or I'll just draw to big to where I'll have to cut parts out of my drawings. This sadly happened when I was trying to do the album cover.

As you can see by looking at their album cover, the heart is ha nging by a old tree, I wasn't able to include that in my drawing because I didn't give myself enough room to work. I was going to start over , but I thought that this turned out really well...for not being exactly what I wanted. Alex Pardee is one of my favorite artist. I love his style so much, and I only wish that one day I can be as good as him. So I've been practicing a lot lately draw ing in his style.

Bike Drawings:
This is my line drawing of the bike that you gave us to draw in the art room. It's not finished, and  left out some details like the little light that was on the front wheel and what i think might of been a bike lock on the body of the bike. I found this both easy and challenging at the same time. I'm not very good with drawing lines, because they never come out looking straight...but the actual bike wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be.

This was my attempt at a negative space bike. I'm not sure if I even did it right, because I never did one before. If I did, then I think it's kind of similar to line drawings. just you're drawing the spaces around the bike.

He did not look. The room was empty save for the three freshman who had just walked in. My classmates had left.
"Goobye."
My voice was rather quiet.
He did not look up.
"Goodbye." he responded.

This is just one of the four skits/parodies that my group and I (Kimme, Evett, & Ashley) made for our end of the year project (the others will be posted soon), a compilation of different skits/parodies. This particular skit, is actually the pilot episode in a mini series called "Evett's Corner." Basically, Evett talks about her life and the interesting things that happen during it, but on this episode, her special guest, Kimme, gets lost and she has to find her. Is Kimmie lost or is she just playing games with Evett? you decide!

P.S KAE stands for Kimme, Ashley, and Evett just in case you were wondering, enjoy!

Below you will see two interactive timelines. 

One comes in the form of an actual timeline, that you can scroll through. The other comes 
in the form of a flip-book, which allows you to travel through time more fluidly. 

For my presentation I created a Prezi. I chose this medium because I think it is an interesting and unique way to present information to a selected audience. Here is a link to my prezi.

It seems like the link only works if you have a Tumblr account. If not, it says that the link doesn't work or something.

Anwar Abdul-Qawi and Daniel Quach presents the history of Walt Disney, his company's legendary motion pictures, (in color and sound!), and how his imaginative, world-renown figures came to be.

I also spent quite a long time on my paper beads. I have seen Emma and Kimberly try to do this and I have always been interested in recycling paper in that manner. I took a while for me to get the strips cut out the right way and then keep rolling them around a toothpick. It was very tiresome. I got that much done and thought yarn would work to thread them together but it ended up failing. The yarn of course wouldn't go through the beads and just overall wouldn't be able to hold them together. I looked though a few website and they have suggest that hemp wouldn't have worked perfectly. I didn't have enough time to obtain that though. I'll probably grab it though sometime in the future to finish the project.

I must admit the bike drawings were quite challenging. I wasn't able have to finish it completely. I usually get a better turn out when I'm really captured by the object. The bike didn't hold my interest for long. But one thing I was able to take away from this drawing is that sometimes you won't fall in love with every drawing you do, you just have to keep drawing until you do fall in love with a piece.
