My Daily Routine

Posted by Victoria Odom in Spanish 2 - Gierke on Monday, January 30, 2012 at 9:54 am

This project is my daily routine I do on the week day. I thought I about things I do each day from morning til when I get home, and made it into a video. I really enjoyed this project because it wasn;t as hard as I thought it would be, in fact it was very simple.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12838525/My%20Daily%20Routine%20-%20Medium.m4v

I learned that IU do a lot to prepare in the morning before I leave the house. I learned is explaining what I do in spanish, so now I can amaze people. I reflected and researched on my day, I collaborated the steps I take and presented it with a video. I would schedule out more time so I can actually use pictures of myself.

This is my daily Routine

Intro
This is basically my morning routine of what i do to get ready for school every day. I enjoyed finding the funny pictures.

Reflection

I learned more about how to say you did stuff and how to use the words right in different sentences. The skills help if i ever need to talk to someone in spanish and I need to say the right meaning. I would change the fact that i used pictures instead of videos.

Blog Post #5

(Blog Post 3)

The status of my issue isn't fully clear but it doesn't seem that it's on the top of the to-do list. On the city council website there are either broken links or misdirected pages to say who's working on what topics and what the facts are.

For my particular topic the main supporters or allies would be the non-profit organizations that either are in support of shelters or provide the supplies for the shelters. These people care and they are amazing advocates but more importantly they have invested in the well being of the homeless and that makes this topic something they can't just wake up one morning and walk away from like a politician can. Surprisingly my representative Darrell L. Clarke is on the board for ethics, safety and housing and homeless. However in my district alone I witness countless amounts of people everyday sleeping on the sidewalk.

Broken down by congressional districts, the Philadelphia area ranks in the top 2 highest homeless population percentages.

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/findyourreps.xpd?state=PA

Representative Robert Brady & Chaka Fattah, are responsible for these districts and if this information was more widely know I think the representatives would feel a bigger need for change. I think the people to be influenced are the people who dont' realize these things are going on.

Jamie Murphy- Copy a Master

Posted by Jamie Murphy in Advanced Art - Hull on Monday, January 30, 2012 at 8:44 am

This copy a master art project was to copy a professional famous artist work. So I decided to look for some Andy Warhol paintings. I really love his art work, especially his pop art designs. I then took his famous tomato soup can painting and found his colorful more abstract version of it. While copying this painting I used the paints found in Ms.Hull's art room. To get these soft creamy colors I mixed the solid colors with white. Then for the bottom half of the dark purple color I used washable markers as well as for the black fill in the word "soup". I also used marker for the top of the can. I loved this assignment, it was very fun since I used two different mediums to get my outcome of the Andy Warhol painting.

Jamie Murphy- Internet Sculpture

Posted by Jamie Murphy in Advanced Art - Hull on Monday, January 30, 2012 at 8:36 am

The internet sculpture assignment was to find a sculpture from the internet that we found interesting enough to create on our own. So I decided to make my own duct tape wallet. I used tie dye "duck" tape as my medium in creating this sculpture. It was very difficult in the beginning but as I continued with the assignment it became easier. This sculpture was very fun to recreate, as it was also an ideal one. I had always wanted to make a duct tape wallet and through this assignment I was able to. This was a step by step recreation. I used a website that helped show me what to do by having pictures with side notes on how to follow through with each step.

Second Quarter Art Projects

Posted by Martha Robles in Advanced Art - Hull on Monday, January 30, 2012 at 8:24 am

Large Clear Object - During the first quarter of art we were asked t draw a clear object, the second quarter we were asked to do the same thing however this time the object had to be drawn to a even bigger scale. When I heard this I expected everything to go smoother then it did. I thought it would be easy since I had already completed a similar project. I didn't think much about the size. When it came down to it I found this to be a bit harder to work on. Mostly because of the size we had to draw it. I found it harder to keep everything proportional. I also struggled with being patient. Im not a patient person to begin with and the fact that some part were easier to draw in a big scale other weren't. In the end I am content with the final product and I believe it looks nice.

Internet Sculpture - For this project I had a lot of ideas but ended up dismissing them all cause a lot of people were doing them already. I ended up going for something a bit les traditional and something the every day person could use. I chose to make coffee cup placers. These are helpful when having coffee in the office to prevent from any of it getting on your desk or even your papers which would be horrible. I opted to used Cd's for this because its something that is easy to find in the house that is no longer being used. I also choose to shower it with white glitter to give it more of a sophisticated look since glitter is really in. The glitter would also prevent the coffee mugs or cups to slip due to the roughness it gives the CD.

Ceiling Art - When I noticed other tiles being painted on to create a personality for the room I was excited to paint a tile myself. I knew I wanted something to reflect the freedom we had in the room and the different aspects of art. To me art is about creating a vision and reaching for the best it can be. Being able to be creative allows me to dream and fly. Which is what the tile says. When it came to thinking about something else to go with it. I opted to draw 3 dream catchers. Each one stands for learn create lead. The biggest one is the one in the middle which stands for create. I decided to make this the biggest one since it is the one standing for creation, and of course we all know the art studio allows us to create all things possible.

Photoshop - Going in to doing this I found myself really excited about using photoshop. Even though I didn't know much about how to use it I was very excited to learn how to be able to use in future projects or just for fun. I came across a variety of things I wanted to do. However I drifted away from them and chose to instead try different things outs until I was content with it. I went through a bunch of effects and layers to come up with most of them. I had a lot of fun doing all of them. Even though for some I dont even remember what I did. I had fun learning how to use photoshop. It allowed me learn a new skill. As well as open my mind to learn more.

Here's a project about my daily routine.

Jamie Murphy- Large Clear Object

Posted by Jamie Murphy in Advanced Art - Hull on Monday, January 30, 2012 at 8:22 am

For this assignment I was to take a clear object and use a medium of charcoal and create my drawing. I looked at a clear glass mug while using my medium to draw what I saw. I also used an eraser to edit and go over my artwork for best results. I enjoyed this project since I have never used charcoal as a medium before. It was both an experiment and a great out come.

My Daily Routine By: Morgan Taylor

Posted by Morgan Taylor in Spanish 2 - Gierke on Monday, January 30, 2012 at 8:17 am

For this project we had to describe our daily routine by showing a video and explaining in spanish

I learned how to use imovie better and I also had a lot of fun making this project.
This project helped me with my fluent speaking and pronunciation of words as well as the conjugation of verbs.
Inquiry- We are asked to describe our daily routine. I had to ask myself exactly what I d almost every day and how I was going to present that in a short 3 minutes.
Research- I had to find different words like agarrar mi cosas which means grab my things and how to find different verbs and conjugate them to mean different things.
Collaboration- I worked with my peers so that I can make my project better they peer edited my work and I perr edited theirs.
Presentation- I made an interesting imovie with clips of what I do in my daily life, although I did not add my extra curriculars I think it captures what I mainly do. I also added sub titles to explain exactly what I was doing just in case you couldn't tell.
Reflection- I would try to add more about what I do at school and with my friends. Every day I have a different schedule and I go a lot of places and maybe next time I will add that to my project.

Jamie Murphy- 5 Edited Photos

Posted by Jamie Murphy in Advanced Art - Hull on Monday, January 30, 2012 at 8:15 am

This assignment was to to take 200 photos. Out of these 200 pictures we were to find the 5 best ones. I used Photoshop to edited the 5 pictures I had chosen. For some I had used color boosting effects, black and white saturation. Then others I used alpha to take away the picture from the background, then had another layer from a rainbow picture used from www.google.com. As for another picture I used the text input tool to add text into a picture. Which also had a gray label created from the marker tool.I liked using the Photoshop program as an editor. I love working with photography. This assignment was really fun and I worked very well with it.

Copy the Master & Large Clear Object

I am doing the Copy the Master and Large Clear Object because it was assigned to me as a classwork grade. I wanted to try to make it the best projects I did before. For the Copy the Master, I used a picture from a collection by Ali Jabbar called Simple Public Figures. I drew everything with pencil and measured it out. I finished the rest with paint. For the Large Clear Object, I did a glass. For the background, I shaded it with charcoal, lightly. Then, I drew the outline of the glass darker with a charcoal. I made the inside of the glass lighter by blending with a paper towel.

I wanted to make the glass look lighter in the middle because it needed to look like a clear object. I made other parts of the glass darker because the way of the sun hitting the glass. Since, one side of the glass is being hit my sun, the other side of the glass would have a shadow. I wanted the illusion that the glass was clear even though, it was a 2-D drawing. For Copy the Master, I wanted to picture to be an exact copy of the original. The painting wasn't the exact same but, I did the best I could. The color may be off some in the suit area,but it is a good replica.
