Interview with a Voter
Republican misinformation made me angry.
Did any political ads stand out to you?
I tried to blot them all out.
Were you certain of who you wanted to vote for when you entered the voting booth?
Very sure.
What would you like to see change in Philadelphia?
I'd like to see less corruption, and more transparency. I'd also like to see the Mayor pick bettor advisors.
Do you think your vote will count?
I hope so.

Aja Wallace Marking Period 1
With the idea of portraying an art project made out of bottle caps and showing what we as humans do with our trash was hard to come up with as an idea. First I started to draw in my sketchbook trying to figure out how I can make a three divisional art piece show all the factors that I want. I was then able to start the project by using only recycled materials.
The way I start is different from most people. I like to have an idea then sketch it out once. Then start making different pieces of it and whatever piece turns out the best I work with and build the art piece from it. As I started to work I chose only the recyclable materials. Any thing I had access to that I felt would be of some use I incorporated it in to my project. Along with the things I remembered I made a bottle cap poster. To help collect them so they cold are used in the project, so I found a way to include them.
My idea came to when me when I first received this project. I automatically thought about the ocean we destroy by all the trash that it encounters over an extensive period of time. Whenever I go places I love to look at the water it’s one of my favorite things to do. I find it to be very pretty and extremely relaxing. So I decided to show people what we’re doing to the water slowly but surely.
Weather
Weather Conditions!
In Spanish we use Hace and Esta’ meaning it’s to say the weather.
Hace is used when saying how it feels or looks. Esta’ is used when telling what the weather is doing. These are the ways to say different weather conditions.
Frio= cold
Calor=hot
Viento=windy
Sol=sunny
Fresco=cool
Those are the terms in which hace should be placed in front of
Example- hace frio=its cold
Nevando= snowing
Lloviendo= raining
Nublado=cloudy
Those terms should be said with esta.
For example Esta’ lloviendo
R.Robinson Q1 Benchmark
During the beginning of my first quarter senior art class we had to make a poster on plastic bottles not being recycled. In doing this the theme of plastic bottle became the forefront of our artwork. In seeing an artist take a horrific reality of large masses of plastic caps being thrown into the water made our idea's become for awareness. In taking such a simple cap that would be discarded and allowing it to become an amazing piece of art set the tone for what we would have to convey in a poster. In making posters I decided to focus on caps not being able to recycle and society unknowingly spelling there doom.
Benchmark: Tye Dyded T-shirt
In deciding on what to do with my artwork wasn't an easy decision. I wasn't sure how to convey the theme into an appropriate piece. So after some heavy debate I thought I'd do tye dye. In doing tye dye I didn't think it was art but, then realized art is a like a straight line there's no end to what art could be.
After coming to that conclusion the sky was the limit. I decided to have the shirts mean more then just colorful array of lines. In having the meaning stand for a message was my big idea. Coming into this experience I was totally blinded so after some heavy youtubing and tutorials gained me a new tool. I became a beast at tye dying which allowed for my artwork to prosper.
I'm excited I learned this tool but wish I would experiment on press numbers. In having the mail focus the tye dye then I could go more in-depth with my message instead of skinning the surface. Overall I'm happy with my finish piece and all the different tools gained in thinking outside the box with t-shirts.

Election Day Questions
I just turned 18, so I never had the opportunity before and wasn't going to pass it up.
Do you know why we vote on Tuesday?
Because November 1 is a religious holiday (All Soul's) and because November was after the harvest which was convenient for our previously agrarian country, and Tuesday allowed for adequate travel time.
Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning? Radio, TV, Print, other.
TV and radio, definitely. I haven't really received many ads in print, I'm not sure why. I assume my parents are disposing of them before I even see them.
Are you always sure of who you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth or are you still deliberating?
I'm fairly certain, but not entirely.
What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election?
Although many say that individual votes don't matter (those buzzkills), I thoroughly believe in the American democratic republic and think that every vote counts, mine included.

Saludos ( Greetings)
Below are a few lists of Greetings in Spanish translated to English. The Spanish word is on the left and the English translation is on the right.
(1). ¡Hola!.................................................Hello!
(2). ¡Buenos dias!.....................................Good morning!
(3). ¡Buenas dias!.....................................Good afternoon!
(4). ¡Buenas noches!................................Good evening/night!
* Notice that when you say "good morning" & "good evening" in Spanish you say "buenAS" instead of "buenOS".The differrence between the three is that there is one masculine and two feminine. In Spanish the things that are masculine end with an o and the things that a feminine end with an o. BuenOS is masculine and buenAS is feminine.
* In English when using exclamation marks you use them at the end of an sentence. In Spanish you use an exclamation mark in the beginning and in the end. The exclamation mark in the beginning is upside-down. An upside down exclamation mark looks like this: "¡ ". The reason for this upside down exclamation mark is that when you are reading in the Spanish language you automatically know from the beginning that this phrease/sentence is going to be said with emotion.
(5).¿Que tal?.........................................How are you?
(6). ¿Cómo val?....................................How are you?
(7). ¿Cómo estás tú?( Informal)...........How are you?
(8) ¿Cómo está usted? ( formal).............How are you?
(9) Muy bien gracias.............................Very well, thanks.
(10) Más o menos..................................Alright.
(11) Muy mal/ Terrible.......................... Awful/ Terrible
(12) ¿Y Tú ( informal).......................... And you?
(13) ¿Y Usted ( formal)..........................And you?
(14) ¡Ay,ay,ay!........................................Oh, no!
(15) ¡Que bien!.......................................Oh, good!
* In English when using question marks you use them at the end of the sentence. In Spanish you would use question marks in the beginning and ends of the sentences. Like the exclamation mark the question mark also has to be upside down in the beginning. an upside down question mark looks like this: "¿". The reason for this upside down is that when you begin to read a sentence in spanish you can automatically tell from the very beginning that a question is being asked.

Title: How to ask and say the days of the week? Bach Tong and Shannon Powers
lunes-Monday
martes-Tuesday
miércoles-Wednesday
jueves-Thursday
viernes-Friday
såbado-Saturday
domingo-Sunday
This could also apply when asking:
¿Qué dia es mañana? (What day is tomorrow?). In this situation, you would answer: Mañana es....
You can even ask what day is a certain date is: ¿Qué dia es la.....(date)? For instance: What day is November 2nd? In that situation, you would say: ¿Qué dia es la dos de noviembre? Answer should be as La dos de noviembre es martes. (November 2nd is Tuesday.)
Explanation 2: Using this will help you to better communicate with others in the español community. You can use this to chat with people, asking for day... It is always helpful to be conscious of what day of the week it is. Note: En Español, there is no capitalization require for day of the week as we do en Inglés. For words that start with "h", the "h" should be silent. We don't actually pronounce "h" en Español. For example, "hoy" should be pronounce as /oy/. Also words that begin with "j" actually pronounce as "h". For example "jueves" should be pronounce as /hu-e-ves/.
