I drew dark strokes where I saw solid glass and erased where I saw light in the glass, which started to form the beaker. Then I started to blend the color outside with the lighter inside of my beaker. I tried to The difficult part was when I was trying to draw light in the beaker, because sometimes it was hard to find. So when I was done my beaker i found little details that i found along the glass like the line on the object. I really like this project because it dealt with perspective. For
my glass drawing we had to find the object with in the paper. It was in there
somewhere and we had to dig for it. Using charcoal make my drawing made it
easier to fade, erase, darken, ect. When I started my drawing I didn’t realize
there was more then just the outline and seeing an object from an outer black
line, but that nothing in real life has a black line. This makes me need to
find a way to show the object with making a black line around it; this
realization made me a stronger artist. I used paper towel to smooth out my
drawing and be able to find my drawing more. Then I had to capture the shadow
and the reflections from the light. While I analyzed the beaker I noticed so
much. Its all about shading, darkening, and showing the different highlights which
makes the object real instead of cartoon. Issue: Whether a government official who acts as a
complaining witness by presenting perjured testimony against an innocent
citizen is entitled to absolute immunity from a Section 1983 claim for civil
damages. The constitutional question of this Supreme Court case was the
following: “Is Cheryl Perich a minister?” If Cheryl Perich is not a minister
then all federal, state, and local anti-discrimination laws protect her even if
her employer is religious. The Hosanna-Tabor case was about a teacher, Cheryl Perich, whose job
was to teach secular subjects as well as some religious teaching. At first, she
was not hired as a real teacher but after taking education courses she became a
qualified teacher. Her job was pretty much the same before and after she became
qualified however. Later, Perich began to fall sick from narcolepsy and left
the school for medical reasons. When she returned months later, the church told
her that her job was unavailable and she could not return. Perich wasn’t having
that, so she threatened to sue under the Americans with Disabilities Act,
saying that the church should have worked with her so that she could keep her
job. Instead of scaring them into giving her the job back, it just made it
harder for her to get it. The church said that if she sued them then she would
no longer be welcome as an employee because they believe that all disputes
should be resolved peacefully. They said that she failed to take advantage of
an internal procedure, rather than court. However, they never told Perich about
this “internal procedure” until after she had mentioned her intent to use the
ADA. When
Justice Ginsburg if it was in the handbook, the church’s representative,
Professor Douglas Laycock, completely dodged the question, saying that the
handbook was irrelevant. So basically he knew they were wrong. He just didn’t
want to admit it so they wouldn’t lose the case. I
think that Cheryl Perich will win this case primarily because she was not a
minister, only a teacher, which means she has all the laws by her side. The church
has none except that you cannot sue the church. However, she was not suing the
church, she was suing the employers. Also, the church’s story was backwards and
there were some questions they refused to answer or tried to dodge because they
knew they were wrong. It’s obvious, so they’re going to lose. Robert Brady and I
are pretty different people however we have the same belief when it comes to
amnesty day. He was born and raised in Philadelphia while I was born in New
York, raised there for a while and then moved to Philadelphia. He graduated from St. Thomas More High
School then later became a carpenter and was soon part of the leadership of the
Carpenters’ union. He is still a member of both the Carpenters’ and Teachers’
unions. On January 5, 2011, Congressman Brady was sworn into office for his 8th
term representing the first congressional district of Pennsylvania. Congressman Brady is very supportive of helping foreign countries.
Foreign policies are his biggest interest. Some of the policies he supports are
democratic institutions in Pakistan, stopping foreign arms transfers to China,
keeping the Cuba travel ban until political prisoners are released, $156
million to IMF for 3rd-world debt reduction, $15.2 billion for
foreign operations, allowing Americans to travel to Cuba, and much more. I find
this pretty awesome because it seems as though he is more understand of foreign
need than the rest of the congressmen and women. It explains why he is also
supportive of another amnesty day. Robert Brady is very active within the community, as previously stated,
he is still a member of both the Carpenter’s and Teacher’s union. He has also
improved dogs’ working conditions, shows interest in sports like citizens, speaks
out about ways to help demolish poverty and get more people employed, and many
other things that benefit us in our community. Congressman
Brady and I seem quite a like. He seems like the simple thinker that I am as
well, and we think of some of the same solutions to problems in our state. http://www.issues2000.org/PA/Robert_Brady_Foreign_Policy.htm http://brady.house.gov/
Q1 Art
This quarter in art I think I have been able to identify the things I need to improve on as well as have improved on since last year. Normally I would just take the easy way on or do what I am used to in order to get the project done and enjoy at the same time. My original idea was to write poems instead of draw because I was caught in my comfort zone. Ms.Hull encouraged me to try and get better at drawing. Ms.Hull said to me "I can teach you how to draw." I have gained the patience and understanding on what shadowing as well as 3d objects look like.
My first drawing was the first body portrait of Sammy. I do not have a picture because it was destroyed in the hallway. I think that my portrait was better last year because of the angle I was standing at last year. It was a front view of my model. I had to draw the side of her which was a challenge. I wish I had a visual to show the difference between last years to this years. I always enjoy doing the full body portraits because it tests my creativity and my ability to tackle the project accurately. The second assignment of the quarter was drawing a clear object such as glass or bottle. I think this os the assignment that gives me the most trouble i redid my object three times. I didn't want to look at the tutorial that was provided for us because it would put a damper on my creative thought process and I would try to duplicate what was shown to me, not what I actually see.I enjoyed this quarter once again it is always a enjoyment learning new techniques.

Quarter 1: Life size model drawing
This was the first project that I was assigned to do and I first thought there is no way that I can ever draw a life size human being and I have never done this in my life. That is when my insructor (mrs. Hull) told me not to say I can't do it because I,can but I just have to try and from there I started.
when I first started out I had one model but them that drawing got thrown away so I had to start over once I stated over I was bot completely happy with what I had but I thought with a little tweaks here and there it would get better, until that one got thrown away by someone, needless to say at this point I was beyond frustrated because now this is my third time drawing, but I did not give up I started one last time but this time with a different model because the one I had started with with not there that day. The tool that I used to draw the life size drawing it called pastels.
I am happy thati got threw it and drew what I could to the best of my abilities, I was very inspired while drawing to music and looking at how other people approached drawing their life,size drawings. Thank you for reading my blog post and viewing my art
Quarter 1: Clear Object Drawing
I would like to welcome you to look at my first clear drawing. I am in advanced art and one of the assignmets we were assigned to do is to pick a glass object and draw it as you see it. The object should appear from your point of view and should be as detailed as possible. The object that I chosr to draw was the one I thought would be the simplest, I was wrong but I chose a sort of bowl shaped object.
When I first started the object I was hesistant to start becuase I didnt want to mess up, I soon got over that and decided thst I would start,from the simplest task and draw lightly. We were insructed to use a tool called charcol which is a skinny black chalk like tool and it can break very easily. My first step was some thing called shading, to do this i just took the charcol on its side and move the tool up and down left and right and then take your hand and kind of smear it in just a little bit. After I had my background all set I move on to the bowl. I first drew the top of the bowl how I seen it and then I drew the aide of the bowl and tried to make them as even on both sides as possible because the bowl is wide this was at times frustrating but I would shade again and start over. The next part is the inside of the bowl on the bottom is a circular part of the bowl but to the eye it is invisible so I had to draw it and then shade the inside of it, shading is my favorite part of the art process by the way with this project. After I drew the object the best I thought it looked it was time to put what I call the glare into the bowl where the light hits it. When I did this I had to use an eraser to give it that affect. I loved this part to I found it interesting that just with little tweaks here and there you can really make a picture come alive.
After I drew this object I felt really good about it and it also made me feel more confident about doing other art in the future. I n this process I really got most of my inspiration and motivation from watching everyone in the class and watching,how their art hhas changed witht the drawing and re-drawing and changing thier perspectives and starting over. I like yhe fact that with this perticular piece we had time to think about what,we wanted to draw, and how we wanted to draw it. This gave this project more or a free independent feel rather then an assigment that you have to get done and over with. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post about my spectacular clear art.
Patriot Act
SOURCES:
http://www.fincen.gov/statutes_regs/patriot/index.html
http://www.historycommons.org/entity.jsp?entity=patriot_act
REFLECTION:
I chose this bill mainly because when I first heard about it I was really interested to know how the process of it becoming a law went. I knew it's process was one of the fastest to becoming a law but I really didn't know about the details of the process and thought it would be an interesting bill to research and talk about. When I get different projects I usually transform them into a little movie since that is what I love and it makes the process more fun but for this I wanted to tell a story like if it was a children's book so I kind of found a way to put two and two together making it like a storybook but adding different effects and music to make it kind of like a little film. For the most part this project wasn't to difficult since I was kind of having fun doing it but some of the challenges I faced was probably trying to find a good source to explain some detailed parts of the patriot act since most sources just told the main stuff and it would of made the video way to short so I wanted to make sure I could get some good details so the video/storybook would be better. So finding a good source and then incorporating it into the video/storybook was I think the biggest challenge I faced. If I did this project again I would probably make sure I used my time more efficiently and probably add more to the story like after it became a law as well. When researching the process of an idea becoming a bill and then becoming a law I learned a lot about some of the reasons why it truly takes SO long for a bill to become a law. The idea becoming a bill was a fairly quick process but the process of a bill becoming a law was the long one. When a bill is being introduced and such if just one person says no, depending on how high he/she is in ranking, they will have to pause the bill and review it again in a later meeting. So for this law since at first it wasn't very popular within the committee it was paused and brought up later and then throughout the process there was always someone who would disagree and then slow down the process once again. So one person can really effect the process of a bill becoming a law. I didn't really have any expectations for this law just because I chose it because I wanted to learn more about it so I didn't think about whether it was going to be really hard or really easy. But overall I think the process was kind of in the middle, in a lot of ways it was simple but gathering all the info was difficult at times. But in the end I believe it came out well.

Clear Glass Beaker
Ms. Hull assigned to us that we needed to make a clear 3-D sketch of an object. The video she showed us for an example, had a perfect drawling of a clear object. It looked like difficult process in the way it was drawn. The first thing I did was get my background color in first on my paper and then thought how will I create this object and make it clear. I started with the rim of my 3-D glass beaker.
"Left By The Ship"
My educational resource is a curriculum that provides guideline for lesson on the topic about the impacts of US's war and military's presence on other country. It examines the missing narratives of this topic. The curriculum was developed around the documentary called "Left By The Ship", which described the experiences of Filipino Amerasian Children in Angeles City where the former US's Subic Naval Base once located. These children were "Left By The Ship" when the Naval Base inactivated. Typically, war and military forces are viewed as destructive, which became the scapegoat for economic lost and human casualty, rather than the results of a dehumanizing structure. But more importantly, the conversations about the impacts of wars and military forces are usually left out those who born as Bui Doi [Vietnamese term means Children from the ashes], and who have to live their lives being seen as a mistake.

NCLB Act Presentation- Prezi
Reflection
The reasoning for picking the NCLB Act was because I've heard about it before in middle school but never really knew what it was. I wanted to educate myself on what this act was about and how it worked. There were so many things that I knew about but didn't completely know what it was about. For example I remember hearing about AYP which means "Adequate Yearly Progress." All AYP basically means is setting a goal for example get more then 23% of the students in elementary school to score proficient or higher. Usually they use AYP for PSSA's. I decided to do my presentation using a Prezi format because I felt as though it would let me present my information in a very creative way. I also did my prevention in this format because it wouldn't be as the traditional powerpoint or boring.
Some challenges that I ran into during the process of this project was trying to put up the information on the Prezi in a creative and not boring way. Another challenge was trying to upload the Prezi so that it would play on the blog. There was code that needed to embedded into the blog which I found after about fifteen minutes of playing around with Prezi. There aren't many ways I would change my project, but if I had to I would add more pictures. I think that pictures give it a little push, and it wouldn't look so dull.
I researched a lot on why this act was made. I found out that they created this act because they seen a big percent of colored kissed who seemed not to be getting the right education. Basically they wanted all kids to achieve so they created this act and ever since they did they seen the number of kids getting below basic has dropped. The NCLB act wasn't as hard to research since this law was created around 2001 and all the information was available on the internet.

Gabe Drawing
I attempted to draw Gabe the best I could. What I learned from this is drawing is NOT my thing. I wish I could learn how to draw but it's not my strong point. To me, my best thing on this is the pants and legs part.
Artist Statement_ Jaccar Garcia
For this quarter we had to create
to different projects. We made a life sized drawing of a student in our class
and had 4 hours to work on it as well as we did with a another drawing we had
to make of a glass object and make it look as real as we could. For our life
sized drawing we had to make it as detailed as possible. Starting off with
lines where we thought possible parts of the body were and working off from
there. I believe I could have put a bit more effort into the life-sized drawing
or tried working more on how to draw a face. For my glass drawing I used a
beaker and may I say I’m very proud of that art piece.

Court Case
What
Happened According to Supreme Court weighs whether victim of false
grand jury testimony can sue for damages the supreme The justices heard
arguments in an appeal from Charles Rehberg, an accountant who was indicted
three times involving charges that he harassed doctors affiliated with a south Georgia
hospital system. After the third outcome was rejected before the trial, Rehburg
took legal action against the prosecutors and their investigator James Paulk.
Rehberg made a case that he was influenced under investigation because of the
hospital’s supporting relationship and that Paulk’s false grand jury statement
directed to the accusation.
Paulk’s dispute that the grand jury is part of the judicial method, and
that evidence should give equal rights within the trial. The argument came
about in 2003. The search ultimately came back Rehberg. Rehberg states that Dougherty County
District Attorney was part of a search that was trying to set up Rehberg to
make him guilty for committing the crimes. In the end The search ultimately came back that lead Rehberg. The court would be in favor of presenting perjuired testimoney because it can eventually lead back to the person who committed the crimes.
Personal belief: I feel that That if you have Perjuried testimony against an innocent citizen it can eventually lead back to the person who committed the crime.
