Negative Space

Posted by Otter Jung-Allen in Art - Freshman - Hull - y2 on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 11:26 am

A. Negative space, also known as the white space that goes around an object, can be used to draw the object, too! So instead of having the object be black and the background be white, you can have the object be white and the background be black! It makes it look cool, artsy and can really help a picture look like real life sometimes! It's a popular style of art in which artists use it to create a project that is unique and special.

B. To find negative space, you must first cut out the positive space portions, which are normally darker. Then you must fold it so you can see how it puzzles into each other. But for a drawing, you must draw it in pencil first and then color everything that is not part of the object as one solid color, the positive space. This makes it look like the background is the object, while the real object is the background. You can even make them opposite, like with the owl, so you can see both positive and negative space and compare and contrast them!

C. Because using negative space can make something seem realistic and more interesting to view, describe and study. It makes it look cool, artsy and can really help a picture look like real life sometimes! It's a popular style of art in which artists use it to create a project that is unique and special.

D. Same thing as before! Artists create art (no surprise there), and their goal is to make their art seem realistic and be more interesting to view, describe and study. It makes it look cool, artsy and can really help a picture look like real life sometimes! It's a popular style of art in which artists use it to create a project that is unique and special.

Negative Space

Posted by Benjamin Simon in Art - Freshman - Hull - y2 on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 11:19 am

A. Negative space is also referred to as white space. It is the area that the main subject isn't in. It often also brings out the main image. It often has an empty and solid background.

B. I found negative space in my bat through the background and the pieces I cut out. This created the image. In my still life drawing I found negative space by lightly drawing my scissor first and then coloring in the outer boundaries. By drawing lightly at first, it helped me to distinguish my image.

C. Artists seek help from negative space because it brings out the main image in the drawing. Without negative space, it would be hard to notice the main image accurately. Negative space helps artists to make their image more visually appealing.

D. Negative space is useful because it enhances the image and makes it easier to pick out. It also brings out the image to the viewer and is easier on the eyes.

En París hay es un museo sobre Cleopatra. El director del museo quiero investigar el mejor faraón de Egipto. Él dije que su vida es muy interesante. Estoy de acuerdo.

Para mí, yo creer que Cleopatra era un embromar. Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Marcus Antonius era todo mimado personas. Ellos era rico y mucho irresponsible. Ambos Caesar y señor Antonius era obsesionado con una chica que no encanta el hombres.

Yo leí este artículo porque estoy muy interesado en Cleopatra y su historia. Ella era muy inteligente. Ella aprendido decir muchos lenguajes incluido el lenguaje de español. Yo aprendí que su suicidio era no un mito.

Final Perspective Drawing

Posted by Juliana Concepcion in Art - Freshman - Hull - y1 on Monday, May 12, 2014 at 12:46 pm

Displaying photo.JPG

a. What is one thing that you learned specifically that you did not know before?

One thing that I learned and did not know before was that a vanishing point is the key to a perspective drawing. A vanishing point is a dot that marks the center of a drawing.

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better?

After I learned about the vanishing point, I used it to create lines called orthogonals. These lines made some parts of the drawing seem farther away or closer, depending on where they were in relation to the vanishing point. This made my drawing look more polished.

c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

I think that next time, I would try to include more details. Also, I would add some color to it so that it wasn’t just a sketch.

d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?

I would suggest that if someone has never drawn a one-point perspective drawing before, that they go through a couple of tutorials and practice drawings. These tutorials did a good job of teaching me how to draw a quality perspective drawing.

e. What resource helped you the most and why?

I think that the tutorials were a big help for me. They taught me about the different parts and aspects of a drawing. After the tutorials, I was able to create a quality perspective drawing.

Perspective Reflection MP3

Posted by Jared Trusty in Art - Freshman - Hull - y1 on Monday, May 12, 2014 at 12:30 pm

a. What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before?

That one point perspective is the base of all drawing and artwork because of shading and positioning.

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better?

This made my drawing better because my it showed me how to properly shade and place my art work.

c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

I would change the depth of my drawings.

d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?

That I was already an artist so I had some perspective and drawing ability.

e. What resource helped you the most and why?

The fact that each and every student in the class was having trouble about different things giving us the opportunity to help each other. This is because we all needed hep and we were all willing to support some one else.

“Nutter impulsa salario mínimo”

Por Ana Gamboa

Esta semana, no estoy escribiendo sobre un artículo deportes, béisbol, o los Phillies, o un artículo sobre Will Gonzalez porqué no hay ningún artículo nuevo en Ponte Al Dia. Entonces, porque no hay un artículo que me interese la mayoría, esta semana yo leí un artículo sobre justicia social, más específicamente, salario mínimo en Filadelfia. El artículo es interesante, aunque no es sobre los Phillies. El artículo habla sobre el salario mínimo en Filadelfia, y, parece que el alcalde de Filly Michael Nutter va a cambiar el salario mínimo. Ahorita, el salario mínimo en Filadelfia es $7.25 por hora, y eso es antes de los impuestos están incluido. En mi opinión es tan bajo. No pienso que siete dolares por hora es suficiente para vivir fuera de. El valor del dólar continua a reducir, convirtiendo menos y menos. Este es sin mencionar como lo cuesta para vivir, para pagar sus cuentas y comidas y sus muchas necesidades. Y este es solo en Filadelfia. En Nueva York, cuesta casi dos veces más para vivir, pero el salario mínimo es el mismo. Este artículo dice que Michael Nutter podria aumentar el salario mínimo aquí en Filly.

Over the 3rd quarter, students in Red & Orange Stream English 9 participated in The Wilmagination Theater residency program. This special opportunity spanned over 6 weeks and included a collaborative memoir/creative non-fiction writing and performance unit designed by professional actors and myself. After weeks of writing and experimenting with thematic and theatrical choices, the students performed both individual and group memoir pieces at The Wilma on April 30th. The short film gives a snapshot of the experience. Enjoy!

This is the collaboration's 4th year running at SLA!

Señorita Manuel

Clásicamente, hispanos sido católicos. Pero recientemente, muchos se están convirtiendo en protestante. ¿Pero qué es realmente la diferencia? Obviamente, el Papa es una diferencia, catadrales protestantes son terribles, y los católicos pueden rezar también a todos los Santos pero los protestantes no pueden. ¡Sólo jesús para usted! Los protestantes no tienen que lidiar con las monjas, pero los católicos no tienen que memorizar la Biblia. También, es interesante que los protestantes puede interpretar la Biblia individualmente. En otras palabras, la Biblia no significa nada objetivamente.

¿Cuál es mejor? Por un lado tenemos las monjas, muchos de Santos, iglesias grandes, papas, y una Biblia objetiva. Y en el otro hay iglesias horribles, sólo Jesús, no hay monjas, y la interpretación de la Bibla independiente. Sin embargo, estas religiones más cosas en común que no, y tampoco puede decirse que sea mejor o peor, porque básicamente son la misma cosa.

Volver al artículo, el número de latinos católicos depende de un regristro por ciento cincuenta y cinco. ¡Y el número de los ateos es hasta casi el cinco por ciento! Buen trabajo, gente española, estoy orgulloso de ustedes. Todavía, el número de cruces es demasiado alto. Sigue trabajando, sin embargo, y sé que usted conseguira allí.

“Cubanos le dan vida al béisbol en Chicago”

Por Will Gonzalez

Cada semana, para mi reflexión, yo leo un artículo de deportes. Normalmente, el artículo es sobre los Phillies (como los Phillies son mi equipo de deportes favorito), y usualmente el artículo es por un autor que me gusta, se llama Will Gonzalez. Yo hago este cada semana porque lo me interese más que cualquier tema otra, y es muy chevere y disfrutable para leer sobre. A veces cuando estás haciendo tarea o trabajo para escuela, los artículos o los libros o temas que estás haciendo o leyendo es muy aburrida y yo no disfruto aprendiendo algunas cosas. Pero con los deportes, y los Phillies, no es así. Esta semana, sin embargo, el artículo de Señor Gonzalez no es sobre los Phillies, pero es sobre los jugadores que son de Cuba, más específicamente, los Cubanos en ambos equipos en Chicago, Illinois. Los Cachorros, el equipo del norte de Chicago, no están teniendo una temporada buena, pero los Calcetines Blancos, del sur de Chicago, están jugando muy bueno, y gracias en parte a sus jugadores Cubanos. Los Phillies tienen algunos jugadores de Cuba también, como un par de lanzadores. Estes jugadores, en ambos equipos, han estado jugando muy bueno.

This is my info graphic about my take and experiences reading this book. I often found the book very heart wrenching and hard to read at times but overall I felt is was an amazing book. This info graphic is also including my synopsis on the movie that I saw that I had to compare the book to. I felt that the book was well written and i felt that if the film was a book they would have the same writing styles.

Selfie Project -

Posted by Dalena Bui in Storytelling - Rami - C on Tuesday, May 6, 2014 at 3:04 am

The first picture shows my best friend Danny. She has become a sister to me and I love her. This picture we were at birthday party. Our girlfriends decided to take pictures of us then out of nowhere I started to burst out laughing while she stayed in her pose. It was a really great night and I enjoyed it.

The second picture show a really cute outfit I wore that day and had a really good day. My philosophy in life is that if you look and feel your best, then it will be a good day. I looked really nice that day and was really happy. I was feeling pretty cruddy that week and to look and feel good about myself that day made me feel like myself again.

The last picture is my hair. my hair honestly gets a lot of attention. The first thing people notice is my hair half of the time and compliment it. I take a lot of pride in my hair because people also love how it looks and I like it too. I went through 6 hair colors before I actually decided on how I wanted it to look.

Selfies are life. Selfies capture a moment where you want it to be remembered. Selfies are there to look back on as we grow up as a person to see hoe stupid, silly, or weird we were. I love taking selfies of my friends and I. I look at them as little pieces of memories I would like to remember as we all go our separate ways in life. I live for moments that you can never get back.

Daniel Varnis Capstone

Posted by Daniel Varnis in Capstone - Garvey - Wed on Monday, May 5, 2014 at 3:48 pm

Abstract
Before starting this Capstone project, I knew from the beginning that I wanted to pursue a project that would, in some way, benefit SLA. At first I was going to hold an 8K race/fun run on Kelly Drive to raise money, but after finding out the financial difficulties, I began to brainstorm other methods of fundraising. After some time I found that a partnership with the Phillies would be a great idea, considering they’re notorious for holding various fundraisers for schools/programs. From this process, I actually learned the difficulty of being a successful advertiser. Throughout the various problems I encountered through this process of setting up the fundraiser, I realized that successfully advertising a product requires a lot of persistence, a passion for the product, and a good personality!

The image above is a screenshot of the email I received from the Citizens Bank representative finalizing the event for my capstone.

The image above is the official poster that was posted around SLA and South Philadelphia to advertise the fundraiser event.

The image above is a screenshot of the official website where people purchased their tickets for the fundraiser event. The website can be visited HERE, but tickets can no longer be purchased.

This photo is the official logo for the Atlanta Braves through the Major League Baseball (MLB). I will be using this logo in the flyers that I will be made to advertise the fundraiser. I don’t find any limitations with this photo, considering it’s the exact logo from the Atlanta Braves. I will probably being putting this picture to use across multiple mediums, some of which could be posters, advertisements, websites etc. Thinking about it, putting this logo on most of my things will be crucial if I really want to emphasize that this fundraiser is to help SLA through the Phillies and Citizens Bank Park as they play against the Atlanta Braves.

Caroline Davis, Personal Communication (E-Mail), January 8, 2014

In this email, I spoke with Ms. Davis about the status of my splash page. The splash place is where people can go online to purchase the tickets. At first we encountered an error with the website, it wasn’t loading. After a brief conversation, we solved the issue. We also discussed some other benefits that come along with this fundraiser. She said that if this fundraiser turns out to be a big hit, then there can be a lump sum amount of money to be directed towards Science Leadership Academy. Also, if we take into consideration that the Phillies have a HUGE rivalry against the braves, that may be a factor that brings in more ticket purchases, leading to more money for SLA!

Caroline Davis, Personal Communication (Telephone), December 12, 2013

This is when Caroline Davis, the leader of special events for the Phillies, contacted me say that she received my email. As we were talking on the phone, she explained to me that she thought this fundraising thing was a really good idea. She shared an electronic pamphlet with me that explained the requirements of a fundraiser. Ms. Davis explained to me that all of the necessary steps for a successful fundraiser can be found within that brochure/e-packet. Following the step-by-step procedure allowed me to get where I am today. As of right now, the fundraiser is in action and the website to purchase the tickets is live!

This is an online article that contains details on how to gain publicity for a fundraiser. As of right now, all I’ve done is make some posters and put the ad in SLA’s advisory announcements. This website suggests that in order to gain a good amount of publicity, it’d be useful to contact the news and media. Having them advertise the fundraiser will not only spread the word, but give the fundraiser the opportunity to exceed expectations. This website also contains a contact box where I can get in touch with a professional that will give me tips and tricks to gaining publicity for my fundraiser.

This brochure contains all of the information that I needed when organizing the fundraiser. For instance, I was able to pick the game date. I decided to go with April 16th, 2014 because it’s “Super Phanatic Night.” Ms. Davis explained to me again that all of the necessary steps for a successful fundraiser can be found within that brochure/e-packet. Following the step-by-step procedure allowed me to get where I am today. As of right now, the fundraiser is in action and the website to purchase the tickets is live!

Phillies Special Events, Electronic Communication, December 5, 2014

This was the first email that I sent out to the Phillies. In this email, I gave some background information on me, SLA, and my capstone. I also requested information on holding a fundraiser. This was one of my first attempts at communicating with Caroline Davis. I received a call from Caroline Davis through Citizens Bank Park about 5-7 days after I sent the email out. The original email was a lot of begging and explaining the budget predicament that SLA is in the middle of due to the School District of Philadelphia’s budget cuts. They were completely accepting of the idea and were willing to hold the fundraiser!

Selfies

Posted by Kilah Kemp in Storytelling - Rami - B on Monday, May 5, 2014 at 3:40 pm

I believe that Selfies are a way to express what you are feeling in that exact moment. Maybe you were feeling confident or happy , or sad and you felt that it was important enough to document it. When I take a selfie it is usually the happiest point in my day or the point where I feel the most confident or excited. In most of my pictures I am smiling because at that moment in time I felt that there was nothing else more important than taking a memory of what is happening. These pictures document some of the happiest days in my life like when I got accepted to college or my 18th birthday. I believe that when you take a selfie there is nothing more important going on around you than that moment in time. These pictures are all memories that have happened that remind me of my happiness during my senior year and I love them.

Selfies

Posted by Keith Moody in Storytelling - Rami - C on Monday, May 5, 2014 at 1:23 pm

I don't usualy take selfies, because I don't like pictures. I do not know why I don't like pictures just don't. When people attempt to take photos of me I tend to hide my face, unless it's a special occasion then I feel that it's okay. Other than that I don't care for pictures

selfie

Posted by Joseph Tartaglia in Storytelling - Rami - C on Sunday, May 4, 2014 at 9:54 pm

I decided to draw all of my Selfies because i wanted to express my creative side, i feel that a picture couldn't help me express what i needed to get though, so i drew one based off of one i saw online, it was very interesting and it defied the laws of logic where the sheep are floating and so are the bricks to the building, i also drew one that represented a struggle i have had in my life, with this witch i have been battling since i was a child, but only a month ago was i able to defeat my enemy, it was a huge impact on my life, so i decided to drawl a selfie of it, the third one shows my love for nature and trees, by drawling a world 100% ran by tree people, making my self in this one, part tree, i got the idea when i was taking a picture of myself near a tree, and i thought, instead of using this picture with me near a tree, why not one of me being a tree. so this is where these self portraits came about.

Selfie

Posted by Isabela Supovitz-Aznar in Storytelling - Rami - C on Sunday, May 4, 2014 at 6:16 pm

I think when I take selfies I generally do it so that I have a moment saved forever. I try to look happy for the most part in pictures, but more importantly I just try and be myself. I don't really care very much about how people perceive me in pictures, but I still take them. This is because when I look back at a picture I can remember things that happened on that day and I have that moment savored. I chose a funny selfie where Dan is sleeping in the background to show that I am silly, a selfie of me at work which shows me being annoyed and wanting to go home, and a picture Molly took of me smiling because I think it shows a variety of my emotions.

Mein Selfies

Posted by Alex Woodburn in Storytelling - Rami - B on Sunday, May 4, 2014 at 2:47 pm

Presentation of the self is something that goes two ways; either it is the most important thing in the world, or it has absolutely no importance. I don't think this varies person to person, either. I think it varies day to day, or minute to minute. At school, I don't often bother with my presentation so long as I make sure I smell good in the morning, because I know that at school, nobody is going to bother me about how I look, and I generally don't have that kind of time (and the smelling nice bit is mostly because I give a lot of hugs- nobody wants to hug a smelly person). Anywhere else, though, If I'm going to be in public (even with my best friends), my hair has to be styled, my outfit sharp and well-matched, everything fitting beautifully. This is what I like to show people when I'm out; the well mannered, often soft-spoken young man with a sharp, smart eye for fashion (who happens to smell like a god-damned fruit basket with peppermint candies in). Outside of school or home, unless only my friends can hear, I dislike showing what's going on in my mind- the dirty jokes I catch, the vulgar thoughts I often have, or the more vicious, cruel thoughts that I keep to myself.

Dream Weaver By Night Fate; Father Mcenroe

Posted by Naomi Fecher-Davis in Spanish 4 - Manuel - E on Sunday, May 4, 2014 at 1:09 pm

Soy Father McEnroe, el sacerdote del St.Patricks. Ese uno en el escuela St. Patricks English School for Boys. Que esta ubicado en Santiago, el capital de Venezuela. Unos cosas que son muy importante para mi son los niños. Creo que su educación es muy importante y no importa su clase social. Puedes ser del clase obrera o el clase alta. Políticamente soy mucho mas al lado Allende, el presidente elegido. Soy un izquierdista, no soy momio. Para mi es muy importante tener alguien en el gobierno que quiere dar todos un chance. Allende hace este para nuestro pais. Con Allende ayudando unos niños de el barrio a donde esta mi escuela que tienen pocos recursos participar y tener un educación bueno. Seria mejor si todos fue educado y no solo los que pudrían permitírselo. Creo que soy igualitario, significó que quiero el mismo para todos. En él situación que somos ahora creo que es muy importante que todos tienen los mismos oportunidades de tener un buen educación.

En este obra por Melissa Griffin veo una niña. Así lo veo, la niña siempre es el centro de atención pero ella no le gusta. Ella quiere caminar de esta vida y entrar una nueva. Ella a mi vea como un bailarín. Puede ser que el estrés de ser un bailarín es tan grave. El estrés que pone en su cuerpo y su mente. Los colores que son usado son muy apagados. Todo es muy marrón, incluyendo el cuerpo de la niña. Es muy interesante los figuras. Todo es muy baja excepto la nina. El tono de el obra de mi punto de visto es ir a un lugar nuevo. Ella esta en un lugar pero quiere ser en un lugar nuevo.

En el ano 1973 mi escuela era bajo el microscopio. Yo quería tener una escuela que incorpore niños de diferentes clases sociales. En 1973 el gobierno cambio y de repente ellos no le gustaba mi idea a tener los clases incorporados. Un memoria muy vivido que tiene necesita que ver con el cambio en gobierno ellos vinieron a St. Patrick’s y de repente empezó a tomar niños para el ejército. ¡Tomaban niños para pelear en la guerra! Eso para mi era una manera de tomar el poder. A mi este cuadro podría representar como yo sentía durante esta tiempo. En realidad sólo quería caminar de el situación entero. En esta situación yo soy la nina. Los dow queremos cosas mejores. El desierto es como mi patria de Venezuela. Los dos están en un estado muy mal. Esta obra me da el mensaje que en realidad hay algo mejor, pero necesitas ir y encontrar lo. La obra es una obra muy simple pero con mucho significado. Creo sí lo veas con él mentalidad correcto es una obra muy linda. Me gusta los cosas simplest, esta en específico porque es tan linda.

Desde mi punto de vista esta obra debe ser mucho más famosa. Aunque no es, tiene un concepto que es muy abierto a su propio interpretación. Es unos de los cosas que me gusta mejor de esta obra. No se que es el opinión de la pintura pero si es cualquier cosa como mio, creo que estará de acuerdo con ella.

Roger's Selfies

I take selfies to remember the best moments of my life. I love taking selfies because it captures my moment, everyplace, every person, and everything in them has meaning to me. It is a way of capturing me by the beautiful thing that surround me. I am able to capture myself in this world with selfies. In a way it is a constant reminder of who I am and where I'm from. Every selfie holds its unique value to the taker beacuse that's what makes them. Some selfies show emotion while other show creativity. When I take selfies I feel like it can place me back in that specific day, time and place. Along with the people around me, I can watch myself grow in the selfies I take. Lastly, selfies, believe it or not, create the advantage of taking photographic art to the next level by having the photographer in his or her vision. People have asked me why do I take selfies? The only answer to that is through the selfies themselves because, each one I take can show a different answer. I take selfies because they're guide to my evolution, a creative way to view my past, and a resplendent way to represent the wonderful people in my life.

Ananda's selfies

Choosing three selfies out of the many that I have was hard but the three that I picked say a lot about me in a way. The first picture is a selfie of myself my niece and my nephew. These two children are my life and I would do anything for them. They have helped me to mature and they get me through tough situations. My nephew is 7 months and is the most jumpy cheerful baby that I know. My Niece is 6 years old and she is like a best friend to me yes she is starting to try and challenge me but that is all part of growing up. She has a really big heart and I know I can depend on her to always love me and never give up on me. I wouldn’t trade them for anything. The next picture I would call more of a self portrait. This is a picture of me last year during my dance groups end of the year recital. This picture was taken after our swan lake dance. It was one of my first ballet performances of stage. Basically I love to dance and I hope to dance for the rest of my life. Finally the last picture is of Shay and I. Its not the best picture of us but shay and I have been friends since 6th grade and have been in the same elementary, middle, and high school. She is a very dependable friend. We may have our up and down times but what friendship doesn't at the end of the day im here for her and I know she’s here for me.

Célfie..

Many people take selfies for different reasons. To share them with friends, to keep them in private albums, or the usual flick of the day. Personally, selfies have become an everyday ritual in my life. I take them when I’m happy, sad, mad, or in any kind of mood. Of course there is something more behind just the picture. The selfie represents something with more meaning. I took lots of consideration when choosing three self portraits that represent my life. While I am a very private person, most of my life could be told through just one selfie. My friends are a big part of my life and is in 90% of my pictures. They appear in the picture but how they contribute to my life doesn’t. They are strong people who build my character each day and I think that is something you could not just tell from a selfie. My next portrait reflects the great love that I have for food. Chipotle is my favorite restaurant and I present that to the world clearly, with almost every post. The last picture reflects what I like to do in my free time. Stories help define my life and I spend a great deal of time reading and relating the books I read to my life. Throughout all of these pictures they all have one similarity. They are things that impact and influence my life and is apart of it everyday. This is how I reflect myself to the world with the things seen and unseen.
