Negative space is what you get when you take a picture, remove the objects in the front of the picture, and the space that's left in between the spaces of the object and around it, is the negative space. It is basically the background of the image. The negative space in my cutout is the red on the left side, and the blue on the right side. I found the negative space in the stool drawing, by looking at the shapes inside of the stools, and drew those. It helps an artist to see negative space, because it allows them to see objects and scenes in two different ways. It does enhance drawings because it can add contrast into the drawing.

A. Negative space is the area around a drawing that isn't the main focus. For example, if there is a drawing of a tree, the trunk and leaves are the positive space, and everything behind the tree is the negative space.
B. After tracing the tree, I took all the sections of the drawing and put them as positive space on one side, negative space on the other. Everything that wasn't positive was negative, and everything that wasn't negative was positive.
C. If you know how much space has to be in the picture because of negative and positive space, you can scale the drawing appropriately.
D. I think that seeing negative space does enhance drawing for the reason I said in C.

Based off of actual events observed in a police ride along, names were changed for protection.

 

Officer Daniels and his partner Woods were first on scene. The call came in about 8 minutes ago, the call first went to dispatch, who put it out as a priority a minute and a half later. It was a domestic dispute at first, but one of the suspects broke a bottle and slashed the other open. Daniels rushed to the house, the door was already open and there was a man standing there with a broken bottle in his hand, Daniels pulled his tazzer out and aimed it at the man “Put the bottle down now!”

            The man listen to him, but said no words. “Turn around, keep your hands up” Daniels continued. He took his cuffs off, and cuffed the man, who Daniels noticed was bleeding from the hands. Daniels partner went inside the house to deal with the other suspect. The ambulance pulled up and the medics rushed into the house while Daniels examed the mans hand. His partner Woods came out to recap the situation.

            “man insides cut up pretty good, he needs to be rushed to the hospital, mom only speaks Spanish, but the her little girls speak English pretty well, told me they always do this shit, the fight started over a game controller”

            “It’s always the stupid stuff huh?” Daniels answered. Woods nodded

            “I just feel bad for the poor girls, the one has to be about 14, their real upset”

            The medics moved the second suspect out into the ambulance, and Daniels put the cuffed man in the car. “he is going to need medical attention Woods, can you wait here until the sergeant pulls up, I’m sure he can give you a ride”

            “sure, but does that mean I get all the paper work too?”

            Daniels laughed “nah, just get what info you can, I got the paper work”, Daniels put the man in the back of his car, and got in the driver seat. “god damn paper work” he laughed, as he drove off, looking back into the mirror as he pulled away from the house, the house with the two little girls, and the blood on the game controller.

"Marjorie" Iris says again. This time in a whisper that I could barely hear "I cheated on Mike"

I stare at her, unable to mask my shock.  -.-

It has been 9 days total since the 2 fish in Mr. Chases room have been fed, yet they are still alive. I attribute it to cannibalism and the fishies' veracious wills to live.

This project was to find a 'How To' online and follow the directions. For mine I recreated Flowers made out of Tissue paper and chenille sticks. When reading the instructions I learned how to make an accordion fold and what happens when you mix different color papers.

I thought this was simply hilarious, I had to upload this.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TUMBLR.

 I made one a long time ago but didn't know how it worked so I just quite it, so august I think I gave it another try and now i am absolutly in love with it. Its a place where you can totally express your inner most deepest secrets through pictures text, videos, audio or quotes. Its an opprutunitly to meet new people and network. For example one of my favorite blogs, is a girl from Australia, things like that amaze me. Smh this technology sure is a nifty thing lol.

My spring break was cool, really calm and chill. I spent almost the whole break over my cousin house and she got me thinking.

 I am really going to college. Like its not a game anymore, this is for real. This is real life and the near future. This means new friends new faces new experiences and new memories that are to be created.

We always were talking about fake friends and grimy people in our lives. I had to think, I never really got that close to anybody for them to "snake" me, but she had me rethink a lot of recent things that happened before I left for spring break.

I love rings and collecting them. Each has a special meaning to me or was given to me for a special reason. Not picture though is my all time favorite rose ring.

The ultimate sign of a good spring break: no wasted days. I was all over the east coast this past week, doing everything from partying at Penn to visiting family in NY to going to the beach with friends. This was by far the best spring break I've had throughout my time in high school. That was, until, I realized we still had stories due during that time. I honestly had no time to post stories during the week, and I know my grade may suffer for it, but it was worth it.

This spring break has been the best spring break that I've had throughout all four years of high school. On the down side school is tomorrow, on the plus side graduation is in a month and some days!

Last night at midnight as I began to doze off, my father walked in... And made me go get... My Easter basket.

I Had a lovely time with him today.
