So what are the expectations when you are texting someone. For some odd reason every time I text girls or most girls, if I do not respond to them within 5 minutes, I am apparently being rude and ignoring them. I mean come on... I have stuff to do instead of sit around my phone waiting for it to light up and quickly responding. Then the girl gets frustrated and annoyed and I am stuck dealing with her upset. Not cool, totally not cool. 

Si yo tenia la oportunidad de viajar a Venezuela yo iba para la playa. Me gusta a nadar en la agua con los animales. También quiero a andar entre todo la ciudad para comprar cosas para mi familia y yo.

 

Esto es un foto de Margarita Island en Venezuela.


1) ¿Qué opinas de Hugo Chávez? ¿Qué críticas tienes de él? ¿Estás de acuerdo (in agreement) con unas de sus acciones?
 
Estoy de acuerdo con un poco de lo opinas de Hugo Chávez. Una crítica que Chávez tenia es que no hoyes a todas las gentes en Venezuela. Una ejemplo es que el no escucha lo que gente el trabaja con el. Si, estoy en acuerdo con el por que el tiene hacer lo que el tiene hacer.

2) Si fueras Venezolan@, ¿votarías por él? Explica tu respuesta.

Si era Venezolano, votaría  por él por que mi gusta lo que el esta hacendó con Venezuela.

Below show the photos of sculptures I made from clay. They were put in a kiln and during the process, some of the prints were messed up. It wasn't my first time creating something like this. I made two sculptures, because of the carving instrument I used. It was difficult to be in control of how deep I made the imprints within the pallet. My final result is something I am happy with, regardless of the minor flaws within the sculptures. 

A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)

Think about a normal drawing of an object. Lets use a chair. You would draw a chair, then when you are done you would have the outline of the chair (and maybe some shading too.). Look at the space outside of the object. This is what we call a negative space. In a negative space drawing, you shade all the negative space to make the chair appear. You do not draw the chair first, however.

B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?

In my cutout, I used the templates given to us by Mrs. Hull. The templets were of a shaded part. I had to pieces of construction paper. One was black and one was pink. The pink would be the only paper I would cut. The black paper would stay in one piece the whole time. I cut the correct areas out then traced the cut outs in the onto the pink paper in a way that made the picture half negative, half positive.

In my stool drawing I found the negative space by looking at different shapes in the stools. I pictured the outline in my head then shaded the areas around it. The part of the paper that was not shaded made the shape of the stool.

C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?

It helps an artist to see negative space because then you get to see both sides of the picture. Positive is one side. The side you see normally. Negative is the other side. The side you see less. With negative space you see it more.

D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not

It really depends on how you want the drawing to look. Negative space is good for when you want a darker background. It also makes the drawings more accurate because they will have more points of view. 

​Negative space is the space around the object. It is like the background of the object.

The way I found my negative space in my cut-out was from first cutting the tree in one background color then place it on another color background. In my stool drawing I drew the shapes inside of the objects with the orange paper in the background.

Negative space helps an artist because it can help see how the drawing looks like even more realistic.

Yes, seeing in negative space enhances drawings because it will help you draw it more detailed and correctly.

Si tuviera la oportunidad viajar a Venezuela, viajaría a Caracas, la capital. Es una ciudad grande y hay muchas cosas para hacer. Compraría y comería en los restaurantes tradicionales.  Visitaría unos museos de arte y cultura, también. Finalmente, relajaría en los parques nacional. 

It was my last class of the day but it seemed like it was going by slowly. So to make it go faster I decided that taking a little nap might help(not really bur it sounds better this way). I took my nap and when I woke up it felt like I was sleep for what seemed like three hours but it was only an half hour. After leaving the classroom I called my mom to see if our plans for later were still on. She told me they were but I wasn't so sure. You see my mom has a tendency to tell me were going to do something, but then something always gets in the way, But this time it was different. She sounded just as excited at I was when she told me we were still going but I had to be home at 3:30 pm. They left me with a couple of hours to waste time and do whatever.

So after school I chilled with Darnell which is nothing new. This is something we do every Wednesday especially if we have nothing to do at all. So we chilled wasted time by being our little silly selves. Then we went down to his job because today was his payday. And while we were there we figured that we mine as well get something to eat, so we did. I just felt so hungry. The food helped curve the hunger. Then it began to rain really hard we knew it was time to go our separate ways and head home. 
I got home around 3:28pm. I thought my mom was already going to be there, but she wasn't. So I sat downstairs on the couch waiting for her. I figured that she wouldn't be that far away. Before I knew it I was dozed off and then my phone began to vibrate. At this time it was a little after 4. It was my mom. She asked me where was I and I told her in the house. She said ok she is on her way. I thought to myself she should of been here but hey this is suppose to be a good day. I dozed off again, then I hear my phone vibrating. It was my mom again telling me she was outside. I quickly get up and walk outside. I jumped in the car and asked her where were we going. She told me to Lord and Taylor. I was confused for a moment and she could tell, "just trust me", she said. I sat back and just went along for the ride.
We got inside and we couldn't see where the dresses were. So my mom asked a lady that worked there. I thought to myself and asked why would they have an old lady doing this type of work. I guess the old need money just like the young. We went to the back where the dresses were and from what I saw I quickly became discouraged. I didn't even want to look anymore. My mom suggested we try dresses on to see what color I needed. So we did that. It was this one dress i thought the colors looked really nice on me, but it was too big. It just didn't fit me right. Next I tried on this pink dress to see how that color looked but my mom stopped me before I could even look in the mirror. She didn't like it. I never believed when people said third time is the charm but I became a believer today. The third dress I tried on made me so happy. I couldn't stop looking in the mirror. And I got so many compliments on it. I knew this was the one. it just felt so right. There was just one thing It needed to be altered because it was too big for me in the waist. Good thing they did that there.
I couldn't believe it I found my prom dress and it only took two and a half hours. I guess you just know when something it the right thing for you. And I found my perfect dress.

Maybe one day all of the mistakes will seem like blessings.

My father planned a trip to take my brothers and I to Washington dc to see my two sisters, step mom, brother in law, niece and a newly born nephew I didn't know I had.
We had fun. I seen a comedian side of my father I never seen before. Hanging with my family, they all spoke with a heavy Jamaican accent, but I could understand everyone. The confusing part was that I couldn't speak it, and when I talked they sometimes couldn't understand me.

Si yo fuera visitar Venezuela iría a las Amazonas porque, me gustaría ver a los delfines rosados. Yo fuera visitar los montañas y las personas que vivir en las amazonas. También me gustaría ver los animales que vivir en los amazonas, ir a montar en barco en los ríos, y otros actividades.

"Taylor, I don't think I could handle a maximum security prison."

"Well, I don't think you're supposed to like it."

"But you don't understand.  Right now, I couldn't even handle a timeout!"

Visitaría las cascadas en Venezuela...las cascadas angel en particular. Gustaría ir a las montañas, los rios y aspectos otras de naturaleza. Vería las comunidades y la gente quién vivir hay. Compraría cosas significantes que representan la cultura y me recuerda de la gente y la país. Hay cosas muchos que haría mientras visitar Venezuela. No sé todo gustaría pero pienso que la país es muy atractivo. Tomaría muchos fotos también.

The other day my and I drove 2 hours out to go rock climbing. When we got there all the climbs were wet from the rain the day before. We thought they would've dried up since yesterday but no. We we're dissapointed but I didn't mind so much. I was sleepy from the car ride and looked forward to car ride home. I love car rides. I'm like a dog. I get so excited to go somewhere by car. Even if we're just going on a short 1-2 mile ride to the food store or movies I still get so happy. It just perks me up. I love listening to the radio and observing everything and everyone outside. The whole thing just gives me a feeling of warmth and comfort. I'm excited for after school today because I'm off on another 2 hour car ride to go rock climbing. Hopefully, it won't rain.

48 days; i can't wait.
