Negative Space Reflection
- It is the space or environment around the object or image your drawing.
Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your still life drawing?
- By looking at the images in a different perspective and looking at them as bubbles and then shaded around them.
Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
It helps them find certain details of an object that one does notice at first.
Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not?
- It can in a way enhance drawing because it makes you look at them at a perspective. Also the outlines and shading will be more noticeable.
My Incredibly Late Digital Story
Audio of poem is above.
Text is below.
Drawing is located below text of poem.For the digital story project, I wanted to take the opportunity to write something that I’ve been meaning to for a long time. In grade school we had an assignment to write a poem. What I ended up writing was dark and strange, much unlike what my other classmates had written. Though most of the details of the piece have been lost in the past few years, I can still remember being extremely proud of what I had written. So for this project, I’m going to try and recreate the poem from the few details I do remember.
The One Beneath the Window
I hear you outside,
You outside my window,
Silly thing.
I hear you shuffle your feet,
Back and forth under my pane.
I hear your words,
Trying to slip between the cracks
And pry open the window.
Your are words calm
And steady.
You have much patience,
But you’ve been here before,
Every morn leaving,
Weary and hollow.
Your words grow louder
With my every denial.
Your pleading flattery falters a little more
With every nay from my mouth.
The veil of kindness
Is dissolved from your mind
By the acidic rage now overcoming it.
Once words so sweet
With only a hint of desire,
Used to trickle through
The faults of my pane.
Now they bombard the window
Giving up
On lulling the lock
Into submission
And gunning straight for me.
You thought it best to change my mind once,
But your patience has worn away,
Your manners out of commission.
An animal hunger envelopes
Any humanity left in your bones.
The window still stands
Between you and I.
It’s once minor splits,
Now canyons, turning the world
Behind it into a reflection
In a muddled lake.
One wisp of a breeze
And I will no longer have a choice.
Canyons will erupt and
You will devour me.
I only have one choice left,
Blow a kiss
And welcome you in.

Brianna Perrin Capstone
My name is Brianna Perrin and I am a senior at Science Leadership Academy. For my capstone I decided to create a PSA and documentary about teenage issues. Topics that I went over were depression, self-harm, suicide, homosexuality, sexual harassment, etc. How my capstone addresses the SLA core values is by learning how to test them in different areas to see the outcome. Of course the outcome wasn't always positive but I was able to understand people's views and opinions by using them. Another thing that I did for my capstone was have mini projects throughout the year. Some mini projects were the NOH8 Photo shoot, Teens For Jeans Drive, Blood Drive, etc. Having these mini projects helped address SLA core values while also having the school be involved in different things and be more aware of topics that are heavily discussed in the world.
Memoir of an Imperfect Angel
2:37. Dir. Murali K. Thalluri. Perf. Teresa Palmer and Frank Sweet. 2006. DVD.

This book is helpful because it allows me to get from personal teenagers how they got help from someone from either telling them or someone found them. Having this aspect will allow me to get across in my movie that getting help is hard for teenagers especially if people don’t see the red flags from the beginning.

It helps them understand what it is, why someone might do it and resources that they can use or get to help that person.

Have this as a source gives me insight to how a mother wants to raise their daughter and the expectations they have for them.
Martin, Michael. Teen Depression. Detroit: Thomson/Gale, 2005. Print.
This source is basically self explanatory. This goes more into the topic of teenage depression and still having good statistics. It also explains the different stages of depression and how if the teenager does not get help for their depression how it can further to worse stuff. This includes an eating disorder, suicidal thoughts and self mutilation.

How to Lie With Statistics: Podcast #1
Covered: Chapters 1-4
In this podcast, we discussed our opinions about scenarios and ideas present in chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4. For each chapter, we spent a brief amount of time bringing up a point in the book that we found to be controversial or important pertaining to statistics in the real world. Each member of the group would then respond to the point that was brought up, telling whether we agreed or disagreed with the authenticity of it, and why we felt that way. We kept our debates as professional as possible, respecting everyone's ideas. After we exhausted each scenario, we moved on to the next one.

History Journal Entry #32
I think Okonwo's past experiences are & aren't an excuse for his current behavior because he had work a lot independently to get where he is now. Along with that the shame of having a father as the village failure of which must play a big role in who he is now. He never really had a role model or father figure to show and teach him the roles and guide him to gain some moral values. But at the same time it's not okay that he is so controlling and walks around like a total statue. Emotionless. Hard. Cold. but this is a result of what happened to him in the past. being the way Okonwo's is, is probably just his way to get things done without technically having any interference. HI see him as basically by himself. I'm in the middle with my answer because his mental morals may not be straight but It can't totally be his fault for the way he is.

What is your universe obligation?
My universe obligation is built the way it is because throughout my whole life I was told to always put God first so that's what I do. Next would be family because family is very important to me and I would die for them if it's called for. I also stated that close friends are apart of my universe obligation. And last is animals because I love to help animals that have been abuse.

I think violence is more powerful. Because I go by the line “no one listens until someone dies.” I don’t think anyone realizes how serious it is until death occurs. For example, it’s not easy to persuade somebody by just talking to someone and that sometimes you just want to point a gun to their head.

Freedom is doing whatever the hell you want as long as you’re not harming yourself or harming anyone else. And without someone’s consult or permission. I’m defining freedom in this way because you’re not limited to anything or restricted.

I wish could…
I wish I could be over 21 because I would be able to do whatever I want. I wish I could be in the Bad Girls Club because when I match it on tv it seems so much fun. I wish I could be an accountant because I would make a lot of money. I wish I had tattoos. I wish I could fall in love. I wish I cared. I wish I people will notice me. I wish I could be a singer instead of being so shy. I wish I could be smarter. I wish I could be pretty.
