Lukas Supovitz Aznar Q1 art

ARTIST STATEMENT:
​Throughout the process of this quarter I questioned what made me who I am. This coincidentally was perfect because I could create a piece of artwork on a ceiling tile. For some reason I thought of Sponge-bob, a character from a show that I loved as a kid. I chose to draw him because it made me feel how I felt as a kid, which I think is critical to utilize while making art. My favorite part about my piece of artwork was that it took me back to imagination. That is one thing that I think many people tend to lose as they grow up. My second piece of artwork was my take on a album cover that I always loved. Kanye west has always been my idol since I was a little kid, So to continue with the theme of a kids dream, I drew his album. I used a lot of what I had learned in my lesson review to draw this, by starting with shapes and then continuing finding other shapes to start with. My favorite assignment was the Pumpkin assignment. I made a despicable me minion, because I loved the look on the pumpkin. I wanted to make small shapes into something that people could recognize and I did that with this depiction of the Minion.
My final piece of artwork was my self portrait. It was very hard for me to do this because it was surprising to realize how little I look at myself. I had to recognize the little things in my face that I usually do not. I was able to do this and did a really good job of not over thinking anything and just doing my best going off of a photo. In the end I wanted to bring the kid mindset back to my artwork, with creative thinking.

1.The video that we watched in class today was about a boy who was being bullied.In the video the was a eye emoji to represent how if someone was to click the eye his life would be better. When you clicked the eye his life got better and if the eye wasn't clicked on, his life would be bad. The eye is to show that we see the boy.
2.The video brings to my mind that it the same as bullying because when the eye is not clicked on, people will still get hurt and still be bullied. The eye indicates that we can help and that we see those who are being bullied.
3.When I look up my name online I am a business worker.I have no back round of myself. 
4.Based on this appearance, people will perceive me as a busy and hardworking.
5.The goal of internet trolls is to see people be hurt and too get bullied.
6.The positive results  is that if you have a positive back round, it is good for applying for jobs. Some negative results would be that if anything bad appears then your out of luck and can't be eligible to work.

Popularity of a Pope

Humility, optimism, compassion, and progressiveness: These are all examples of the traits arguably desired in a modern religious leader. Argentine pontiff Pope Francis has more than proved that he has these desired traits. Time and time again, the new pontiff has been greeted by the people with thunderous applause and cheers of joy, and their admiration of him is justified by the way Francis  has been running the Catholic Church and contributing to modern global issues. His progressive stance on issues of social justice such as divorce, climate change, and the treatment of the LGBT community, combined with his optimism, humility, and compassion, have earned him the adoration of the people and the respect of his fellow bishops. He is so different from other bishops and monarchs because, unlike stereotypical religious leaders , Pope Francis is actually, genuinely concerned for the needs of the unfortunate and downtrodden.

Pope Francis’ growing popularity has attracted the attention of admirers from every race, religion, and nation. His diverse collection of people who adore him was exhibited during his recent visit to Philadelphia for the World Meeting of Families. One of the many people who Francis is popular with is a Liberian immigrant named Juwli Roberts-Karluah, who said that the new pontiff is “trying to bring us back together.” This means that even in a world torn apart by violence and pain, the Pope is confident that humans can come back together as one. Francis is also seen as sort of a messianic healer, especially by Leslie Herring. This woman dreams that her disabled daughter, Debianne, will learn to conquer her innate cerebral palsy and epilepsy when the Pope kisses her. The Dominican Sisters of St. Cecelia even traveled to Philadelphia to see Pope Francis. Sister Anna Grace Neenan demonstrated her profound knowledge of why he is so loveable, describing how people “see his goodness and are attracted to it, Catholic and non-Catholic, rich and poor.” This ultimately means that when people listen to his speeches or read about what he does for the world, they look up to him as a sort of Christ-like figure. Those of his admirers who aren’t Catholic admire him for his open-mindedness and fair treatment of people of other faiths and races.

Francis’ relatability, friendly demeanor, and willingness to live like a working-class man, despite his position, has earned him the epithet of “The People’s Pope.” This is demonstrated by many of his lifestyle choices, even though it is traditional for Pope to live in the Vatican Palace. This may be because he wants to show everyone that he views himself as not above or below the common man, but equal to him. As a cardinal, Pope Francis had a habit of using public transportation to get around the Vatican City instead of being driven in an expensive car. He also lives in a small apartment instead of living in the lap of luxury in the palace. Plus, he appears to have taken up a sort of “servant leadership,” meaning that he believes the pontiff is meant to serve rather than be served. According to an article by pastor and writer Chris Nye, the reason for his status as a “servant leader” is to connect himself to the younger, “more cynical” generation-so he can break rules and traditions that “shouldn’t even exist.” Through this generous outlook on life, he is much more willing to provide financial, physical, and spiritual help to those most in need of it. He demonstrated this characteristic by washing the feet of young women in a prison, one of whom was a Serbian Muslim. Apparently, it is a break in papal tradition for a pope to be tending to the needs of women, let alone Muslim women.

Arguably the most admirable trait about Pope Francis is his attitude towards current events, not to mention his dauntless pursuit of goals that most churches are avoiding . And to top it off, he has reinstated the Vatican as a major player in international diplomacy. The Argentine pontiff’s views on life are described as, “accessible and concise.” Even though his quotes about life are simple and straight-forward they are also very profound. For example, he describes the Catholic Church as a “love story,” rather than an “institution.” He wants to attract more people to the Church but feels as though it should be more akin to an option for a new school. It is meant to welcome those who choose to attend with open arms rather than simply forcing outsiders to join (Nye). He has also taken a simple, but otherwise heartfelt, stance on war and violence, describing them as pure and simply, “madness; the suicide of humanity.” He uses social media and communication to spread his messages of peace and truth throughout the world, ideally ending the cultural wars on social justice issues including, but not limited to contraception, divorce, and the treatment of the LGBT community. He was also credited by both Cuba and the United States for helping to re-establish diplomatic relations between the two nations in the midst of tensions between them. Plus, he started an international campaign to prevent airstrikes in Syria, thus preventing more innocent casualties. Although these actions are all different, they were all inspired by Francis’ general desire to help people and make the world a much brighter place.

When asked, members of the Catholic Church might say that Pope Francis is doing nothing short of breaking Catholic traditions and giving them a bad name. Upon closer inspection, he is actually trying to help those less fortunate than himself. His willingness to work for peace and justice in the midst of overwhelming conflict, economic problems, the cynicism of the younger generation, and opposition against his progressive ways, makes Pope Francis a very compassionate man, as well as a courageous and outgoing one. The Argentine pontiff, dubbed “The People’s Pope,” by some, can be seen as an admirable role model and arguably the quintessence of a wise, just monarch and an agent for change. By spreading his message of love and peace via social media, combined with getting involved in politics, he has proven that even one voice can start a quest for peace and help to completely heal the world. This goal may seem outlandish, but due to his admirable qualities, belief in the human capacity for good, and willingness to share his sermons with the entire world, he is confident that others will soon follow in his footsteps and join him in his quest for world peace.

Assignment 6 Part 2-Reflection

1. We watched the I Am A Witness video in class. The video was about bullying. By using the special emoji, people can stop bullying by showing that they are a witness.
2. In reference to the topic of bullying, this video brought up to me that if people don;t just stand by and watch, bullying can be stopped. One of the worst things about bullying is that people watch and don't say anything. Speaking up can really save someone.
3. I think that I have a good online identity. I keep my online appearance appropriate for all who view it. 
4. I think that people would perceive me as just an average human being who just lives life and stays out of trouble.
5. The goal of internet trolls is to get a reaction out of people. They will often exaggerate, lie, and offend just to get a reaction.
6. The positive result of online anonymity is that no one can know who you are. This means you can post what ever you want, though things could possibly trace back to your real identity. The negative result of online anonymity is that if someone is bullying you anonymously, you will not be able to know who they are.

Who is Tylier Driscoll online?

During the classroom activity I watched a video of a cartoon monster kid getting bullied http://iwitnessbullying.org/. I realized that this video brings to light what someones life can be like without a friend and also what some people can go through with too much exposure to the internet. I found very small amounts of myself when searching for myself, the only thing that i found was my old private Facebook page, email, and twitter account. Then, I went to the second page and I found my middle school graduation page. Based on this they may see me exactly how I am today, a teenager in the 9th grade with a lot of private accounts. I believe the goal of internet trolls is to be funny and annoying. This is because they think that it's okay to say rude things on the internet while thinking that they're funny. The positives of anonymity is that your identity remains secret and that nobody can track your movements throughout the web.

Cinco Amigos

As the school year went on, we learned the Spanish alphabet. In this video, Raymond is struggling with his Spanish homework. He asks his friend, Matthew, for help on spelling a word, but still gets confused. It takes the whole group for him to understand.

One of the things we have learned so far has been proper restaurant terms to use. In the video, Matthew, Zaire, and Myah are sitting at a table in a restaurant after being at a Halloween party. After some laughter and confusion, everybody is able to order and have their food.
An important lesson that we have learned so far has been learning when to use proper respect with adults. When speaking to a friend or equal, you use tu. However, you should use usted to be respectful with adults and other authority figures. A few friends learn how to do this when they get busted at a party by two police officers. The kids run off and are chased by an officer, but one stays behind to find something interesting.
Weather and seasons is another lesson we have learned. In this video, Emily is confused about the weather. Her friends decide to explain it ti her by showing some of the weather in the seasons.

Proyecto E1 U1: Lauren Nicolella, Afi Koffi, Olivia Musselman, Eli Zimmerman

In class we learned how to say the alphabet, this came in handy when Eli and Afi crossed paths with a troll that was not satisfied until one of them recited it back correctly, to then be able to successfully go over to the other side.


We were taught how to ask and describe multiple types of weather. This is necessary when Lauren desperately needs to know the state of weather for the day, or else she’ll melt by the extremes she will be exposed to.

We learned how to properly use tu and usted. This skill is utilized when Lauren and Olivia intend on discussing something with their teacher and Lauren uses the incorrect term while speaking to Afi but is then corrected.


Learning the days of the week proved to be an important skill when the date of a quiz is unknown. We demonstrated the concept of the days of the week in a classroom environment so the students were aware of the event coming up, and also being able to correctly state the day of the week.
