Quarter 1: Drawings - Lesson D, Dakota Foster
Each drawing had its aspects of being a hard drawing for me. It was first trying to fully understand how to draw the texture, which I don't think I could grasp by looking at the drawings. The second was trying to get the texture to look a lot dark in places than others because I wouldn't make the squirkles close enough to each other or I didn't have the correct weight of the pen. Another thing was difficult for me was trying to draw the face of the little boy, I think I have a hard time drawing boys instead of girls. Because in the drawings of the girls, they were really great.

2. Self portrait- Drawing myself is always really difficult, so I think this may have been the hardest one. I really liked working with the charcoal even though I can't help but smudge it absolutely everywhere.
3. Copy a master- I decided to copy characters from the film "The Secret of Kells" I love how that movie is animated, in motion it's even better than flat on paper. Again, sharpie was the most difficult, because there isn't a bunch of shading or anything I could do except flat lines and I think that was really hard to make look nice.

Azota Filipinas uno de los tifones más poderosos de la historia
Antes de yo empiezo escribir, yo voy a definir algunas de las palabras nuevas en el artículo, “Azota Filipinas uno de los tifones más poderosos de la historia”. “Tifón” es palabra muy importante en este artículo; en Inglés “tifón” es “typhoon”. Ademas, la palabra “daño” es importante en este artículo. “Daño” se traduce en “damages” en Inglés.
Ahora, yo quiero resumir todos que está escrito en el artículo. En la semana pasada, un tifón llegado a los Phillipines. Por viernes, el tifón más grande en todo de este año llegado y hizo muchos daños. En los Philippines (más específicamente, la isla de Bohol) fue un terremoto el mes que pasado. En Inglés, terremoto es “earthquake”.
"Habrá daños catastróficos", dijo Jeff Masters, un meteorólogo experto en huracanes y que es director de la firma privada estadounidense Weather Underground.
Hoy, las personas que vivían en los Philippines tienen vidas muy difíciles. Fuentes de noticias dijeron que casi 4,000 personas murieron después del tifón Haiyan. Todas las personas estan espantados porque hay personas fallecidas en todos partes. Los personas que no murieron estan enfermos, pero ellos no tienen suficiente hospitales y médicos para todas las personas enfermas.
Países de todo el mundo ofrecer ayuda para los víctimas de tifón Haiyan. Organizaciones como “Red Cross” y muchos otros ofrecer dinero, comida, y cosas para los médicos. Ellos necesitan todos de la ayuda que nosotros pueden dar.

Eugéne Atget: Pioneer of Documentary Photography
Eugéne Atget was born in Libourne, France in 1857. He is so commonly remembered for pioneering what is known as documentary photography. This type of photography is somewhat very similar to street photography which is more common now. Eugéne Atget is remembered for his initiative to document all of the architecture and street scenes of Paris before they disappeared into modernization.
Like so many famous artists, many of his photographs weren’t published until after his death. He began to become recognized by other photographers just two years before his death.
Eugéne Atget’s parents both passed away during his young adolescence. His maternal grandparents raised him in Bordeaux and after finishing high school, he went into the merchant navy.
Atget moved to Paris in 1878. He auditioned for acting classes and failed the first time, and then was allowed in when he auditioned again. He was still drafted during the time he was in drama school, and he was expelled for only being able to be there part-time.
While living in Paris, he became an actor with a traveling group. They stayed in and around Paris still. He met his wife, Valentine Delafosse Compagnon, who was an actress in Paris. She died just a few years after they were married. Eugéne Atget gave up on his acting career in 1887, due to an infection of his vocal cords. After he gave up on his acting, he moved to the provinces and took up painting, but was not successful.
Realizing he would never have a career in painting, he still spent his life as an amateur painter. His first photographs date back to 1888. In 1890, Atget moved back to Paris. He settled down as a commercial photographer, and put on a sign on his door that read, “Documents for Artists.”
In 1898, Eugéne Atget began to specialize in what is known as “Old Paris.” This became his project for nearly 30 years. This idea of old Paris was a campaign to preserve and document pre-revolutionary architecture. Many of Atget’s photographs are of building facades and the streets of Paris, because he felt that he needed to document and archive the city before the construction of Paris Métro.
Atget stopped taking pictures almost entirely after the First World War (1914-1918). In 1920, Atget offered to sell a portion of his glass-plate negatives to the government. He wrote a letter to the Minister of the Fine Arts and wrote, “For more than 20 years I have been working alone and of my own initiative in all the old streets of Old Paris to make a collection of 18 x 24 [centimeter] photographic negatives: artistic documents of beautiful urban architecture from the 16th to the 19th centuries. . . . Today this enormous artistic and documentary collection is finished; I can say I possess all of Old Paris." The government purchased almost 3,000 of Atget’s negatives for 10,000 francs.
In the 1920s, Atget became noticed in modern art’s avant-garde. This wasn’t long before his death in August of 1927.The Scream by Edvard Munch

Found Object Sculpture:
“Personal Jesus”
Before my grandparent’s house caught on fire, I was able to take this Jesus statue out of the house. I really wasn’t a fan of the color and I got inspired by the Depeche mode song that was covered by Johnny Cash and later Marilyn Manson “Personal Jesus”. The idea is that everyone has a personal Jesus, someone to hear their prayers, someone who’s there.
Andy Warhol Cats:
For my copy a master I chose to focus on Andy Warhol and his collection of cat drawings. These pen and water color pieces are fantastic and really capture Warhol, they were unique and simple but filled with character and color.

#ENGCHAT:
This fall I’ve been working on a giant rebrand for Engchat, A website that encourages communication collaboration and conversation in english teachers. The site it run by SLA’s very own Meenoo Rami. I worked with Ms. Rami on lots and lots of variations of the logo.
The logo when through many stages (pictures shown below) and finally we decided to strip down the entire logo to just our typography and to incorporate our favorite aspect of the logo, the pencil hashtag. I made the hashtag pencil colored and we came up with something that we absolutely loved.
Below is an image of the logo at different stages throughout the design process.
Quarter 1: Drawings - Lesson C, Dakota Foster
My favorite drawing is in the lion because i really like how it looks. It was fun drawing it and I like how the lion looks more like a cartoon than a real lion. The hardest drawing for me was the drawing of the face with the girl with the large hair and the big eyes, her name is Kira. This was the hardest for me because I was never good at drawing faces. Never good at drawing faces of people either, I didn't really understand how the light and where it would hit. I didn't understand how the face was set up and where to put the lines to make the face look symmetrical. I would say that I did pretty good on this drawing to compared to the lesson it looks identical. I even had people say that the drawing looks like a girl that goes to my school.

The master that I copied for the Sunflower drawling was Georgia O'keeffe. Georgia O'keeffe was born in November 15, 1887 to March 6, 1986. She was born near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. She was first recognized by the New York art community in 1916. In the beginning of 1929 she was working on her drawling in New Mexico. I really liked drawling her Sunflower picture I thought it was really beautiful.

Quarter 1: Drawings - Lesson B, Dakota Foster
I would like to stay that this lesson was had for me in the beginning with drawing the duck but by looking at my drawings you can see that I started to get better at drawing. The easiest drawing for me was the drawing of the values which is where I drew the different shapes in different orders on the paper. My favorite drawing would have to be the Gremlin. I would say that was my favorite because to me that looks like the best thing I have ever did in my life. I didn't think I was going to be able to draw it that great compared to the lesson. When looking at my drawing and the lesson, they are very similar and I am very proud of myself for doing it so well.

Article #8 “Accidente de avión cobró 8 víctimas en Bolivia”
Temperance Moore
Q1
Melanie Manuel
Este artículo es sobre ocho personas murieron y nueve resultaron en al accidentarse en un avión de la aerolínea boliviana Aerocon. Mientras intentaba aterrizar en un pueblo de la Amazonía de Bolivia. El artículo dije, “El director del hospital de Riberalta, Jaime Claros, citado por la edición digital del diario La Razón, indicó que hay ocho víctimas mortales y nueve heridos, dos de ellos graves.” También, el artículo dije, “Un vocero de la aerolínea boliviana dijo que la empresa de momento solo puede confirmar que la aeronave llevaba a bordo a dos tripulantes y 16 pasajeros.” Un avión se incendió aterrizaje. La terminal amazónica no tiene correcto equipo para accidentes.
Elegí este artículo porque yo era curioso sobre el tema. Yo pienso esta triste que muchos inocente personas murieron porque de accidente que podría se evitó. También, la terminal amazónica debería obtiene equipo porque que es peligroso. Yo pienso la terminal amazónica es responsable para las muertes porque no tiene equipo. Yo estoy de acuerdo cuando el artículo dije, “En declaraciones a la agencia estatal ABI, Morales dijo que ha pedido "una profunda investigación" y exigió "sanciones drásticas para la empresa".” También, el artículo dije, “En septiembre de 2011, otras ocho personas murieron al estrellarse un avión de la misma compañía en la amazonía boliviana. “ Yo pienso la terminal amazónica debería clausura.
