Spanish Q4 Benchmark
La Guerra Civil en España era una lástima terrible. Mucha gente, ambos rebeldes y soldados, mueren o eran heridos. Todo el país sufrían, porque la guerra le afectaba a todos. El sol "ganador" era Francisco Franco, el hombre quien era el dictador de España por veinte y ocho años, creando un estado de miedo y odio en España. Franco uso este para controlar y oprimir a la gente de España. El tema de my proyecto era la opresión. Yo encontré muchos ejemplos de opresión en la obra "La Casa de Bernarda Alba." Entonces, usé dos personajes de este obra, Angustias y Adela. Usé ellas porque son hermanas muy diferentes, pero ambos son oprimidas por su madre, Bernarda Alba. Bernarda le oprimía a sus hijas en una manera similar a lo que Franco usaba a España. También, Bernarda celebra los mismos valores que Franco celebra, como honor, clase, y la inferioridad de las mujeres.
Me gusté este proyecto, porque me gusto escribir la poesía. Fue interesante escribir de la perspectiva de otro personajes inventadas por otro escribidor. También, no escribo mucha poesía en Español. Después de escribiendo mis cinco poesías, pregunté a Yadi Angeles-Figueroa a chequear mis poesías para errores gramáticas. Ella encontró algunos errores, y me ayudó para corregirlos. Después de este, yo puse los poesías en Pages con algunos dibujos. Seleccioné los dibujos que creé eran relacionados a las poesías, y a Franco y la Guerra Civil de España.
Soy feliz con mi producto terminado. En particular, me gusta la poesía "La Vestida," porque es corta, pero tiene un mensaje grande. También, es la única poesía que rima. Si pudiera, cambiaría el diseño de las páginas. Creo que debería haber usado fuentes más interesantes.

El razón porque escogimos estos imágenes es porque en el imagen de guarra solo hay hombres y no mujeres. Hay mujeres que querían pelear por los dos lados pero no podían porque fueron mujeres. El imagen de la cocina es muy estereotípica. Durante la regimen de Franco las mujeres quedaron en la cocina casi por todo el día.
3) Primero hicimos las lineas para la actuación. Segundo ponemos los disfraces y filmamos la película. Tercero editamos y ponemos en forma de flv. El proceso fue difícil y fácil en algunos partes. Un parte difícil para los hombres es ponerse maquillaje porque nunca han puesto y fue raro ponerse. Crear y editar el video fue mas o menos difícil. El parte mas fácil fue la actuación y creando las lineas para la película.
4) Una cosa que me gusta es que el video tiene humor pero la historia también es seria y muestra que mujeres fueron inferiores en es tiempo de la historia de España. Lo que cambiare es añadir una escena con un hombre y mujer mostrando que las mujeres no podían hacer nada afuera de la casa sin que un hombre la compagina. También las mujeres solo cocinaron, crearon las niños, y hicieron cosas por la casa.

Tenzin E2BMQ4 Video
For my project, I made a video. In this video,
I don't have a lot of pictures of me when I was younger because I can't find
any at home. The only ones I found are in the video. I felt as though I worked
really hard for this project because this is the last project and that was the
only way to get an A in this class. I think I did really well with the script.
That would be like the best part of my project. If I were to do this project
again, I wouldn't change much because I like the way it is right now. By doing
this project, I felt as though I've learned a lot this year because it's like a
reflection to all the things we've learned through out the year.
my Q4 Artist Statement.
I didn't like
is project that much because I feel as though we did not have enough time to
complete each parts. We were given a week to complete each parts which is not
enough time if you are trying to do it right. There are two of my arts that I
did really well on, I guess is because I spend more time's doing them than I
did for any other ones. If I were given more time, my project would have been
even better. I did worked hard on each one of my arts, and I worked best to my
ability.I would have done so much better if I had enough time to finish. I’m
every grateful for doing those arts because they make me feel like I have learn
so much about art. That I can draw a picture on my own without anyone’s help. Doing
this project send a message that I’m really doing well at drawing, I guess is
because I now understand the messages behind my arts. Art wasn’t always my
thing because I thought art had no purpose and you can’t express yourself with
art like how you can with words. I was wrong because I’m expressing how I feel
about my own work and how seeing my own work like this, affects me. I’m looking
forward to the next year.

Kimberly Parker's Artist Statement.
- Art for the last quarter was very enjoyable for me. I feel like we had ample time to complete all assignments and we had a lot of freedom with it. My favorite assignment was the photoshop assignment. I never used photoshop or a professional camera. I discovered that I liked photography and I've been taking pictures from an artistic view ever since. The projects were very diverse this quarter. The first assignment was choosing to construct a model of our choosing, and I chose to crochet four coasters. Yarn is one of my favorite tools to work with, I find it very relaxing and it is a reminder to my childhood with my great-great aunt. The next assignment was to copy a piece of art by a famous artist. I chose Mr. Ou-Yang's Koy fish pond painting. Instead of painting it, I used charcoal because charcoal is my favorite drawing tool to work with.
- I didn't enjoy drawing three bikes from negative space, shading, and line drawings. I personally just didn't like drawing bikes, I found it boring. The final project was to draw from a perspective outside. I went out in my backyard and took a picture of a wooden crate, my watering can, and flowerpot. I used green, pink and black charcoal to illustrate the scene. I am very proud of all of my artwork I completed this quarter because I know I put forth my best effort.

Esto es el link por mi proyecto:
Reflection:
La experiencia de la guerra civil en España fue algo muy doloroso por toda la
gente pero creo que también es algo que lo ayudo mucho, la guerra civil es
historia, si es algo mala o buena no es importante. Le que importa es lo que aprenderán
de la guerra y como están ahora. Y por esto La tema de mi proyecto es “los
efectos de la guerra civil.” Por este proyecto yo no quise explicar solamente
una de todas las cosas que pasaron durante y después de la guerra, por eso escogí
hacer una Collection de poemas que representaron todo y se conectaron con una
tema mas grande, y esto es la guerra civil.
Cuando empecé este proyecto tenia “major writers block” y no sabia de que me estaba
metiendo, entonces me acorde de todas las personas que sufrieron en la guerra,
todos los niños que murieron y todas las mujeres maltratadas, y mi “writers
block” se fue. No se porque pero entonces no podía dejar de escribir, todas las
películas que vimos en clase sobre la guerra civil y todas las cosas que
aprendimos me llegaron. Y creo que por esto escribí ocho poemas de la guerra
civil. Me gusto mucho mi presentación final porque reflecte lo mucho que
trabaje tenerlo, yo creo que mi proyecto final es muy sentido y no creo que
cambiara algo si podía.

The process for completing my project was brainstorming, outlining the content, writing sentences in spanish, peer-reviewing sentences, re-writing the sentences, gathering the pictures needed, putting them together into a book. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the book printed in time so attached is a pdf with all the pages in it.
I feel like I did very well on putting together the pictures into book in Aperture.
I would use my time better and finish it very early so that I could order the book and have it be in my hand on the day its due.
I learned how to describe what I want to be when I grow up, what i liked when i was younger, what i like now, what i will like in the future, what i don't like, what i didn't like in the past, what I will not like in the future, what Im doing after i graduate high school, and how to describe what i was like when i was young and currently.

I liked the pictures that I used to move the story along.
If I could change one thing, I'd probably draw all of my pictures, but there wasn't enough time (I was going to do a video, but my camera broke the night before the project was due).

Spanish Lit, Q4 Benchmark
Nuestra tema era las relaciones, y como la guerra las cambia. Nuestra proyecta muestra la relación que la guerra rompió y que, después, revuelve.
Para este proyecto, primero hablamos como una tema para las poemas. Necesita ser en relación con la guerra, entonces nuestro tema esta relaciones entre la guerra y los efectos en las personas. Hicimos investigaciones en relaciones en la guerra y selecto nuestras personas. Disidimos en notas de amor entre el chico en La Lengua de las Mariposas y la chica en El Laberinto de Fauno. Después y individualmente escribimos poemas, cuando estuvieron termina, editamos y recordemos nuestras poemas.
En este proyecto nos gustó la libertad que nos dieron para elegir un tema. También nos gustó los personajes sobre los cuales escribimos. Nos cambiaríamos el producto final.

SStewart-McDonaldQ4
Sculpture: For my sculpture I made a nightlight. It's made out of a sewing hem, sewing blueprints, paper and foam letters. It was fun to make and I felt like I could get really creative with it. I specifically chose to make a nightlight because I had found a design on a website that looked really awesome and I remembered always having one as a child.
Pictures: I've always liked photography and I used to carry a camera with me everywhere I went. I really love taking pictures of architecture and flowers. I found that photoshopping pictures can be difficult. I wish I could've designed more complex edits, but I did what I could and combined different effects.
Artist Copy: I copied a piece by Alexander Calder using paint. His works specially caught my eye because they were very modern and geometric.
Bike Drawings: I have never drawn a bike before and I was constantly stressing about whether or not the mechanics of the bike looked right, but I kept going. To me, the hardest part of drawing the bike was putting in the spokes, they never looked right when I put them in, but I believe in the end they turned out fine.
Outside Drawing: This is a drawing of a tree outside. Since drawing every single leaf on the tree can be frustrating and way too time consuming, I drew the tree as if it had a bush of leaves, then extended the branches into each other and off the page. To me, it looks like it symbolizes the way a tree changes during the seasons.
Quarter Four Benchmark. Annisa.
The process included brainstorming, outlining, writing, reviewing, re-writing, and just putting it all together. Screenshots, throw in some music and wa-lah. My benchmark.
Using a variety of words was probably my strong point. I took things from the beginning of the school and added them to this benchmark.
Maybe, adding a voiceover would have done me some good.
I learned more about the tenses because I had to apply them to real life.

2. I completed the project by writing up and printing up each sentence and pasting them into the book, and then finding a picture dealing with the sentence(s).
Something I did well, is writing the sentences, so that they make sense.
If I could do it again, I would give myself more time because I felt that I rushed it a little bit.
I learned how to use each type of conjugation all at one time.

2. Reflection:
- What was the process of completing your project?
For this project I did the web maps and then got all the pictures together. I added in all the words on the slides with music and then voiced over select parts. - What did you do especially well?
I think what I wrote was really good and I think my spanish speaking was good to! I feel very improved over the year. - What would you change if you could do it again?
I wouldn't do a movie, I think I would make a book or something different. - What did you learn by doing this project?
I got really good at writing in spanish and making paragraphs.
Negative Space
I found it by looking at the things that were only the orange paper in the background to help
me in my stool drawing. For my cutout, I had some trouble because I wasn't sure what I wanted to be
my negative and what I wanted to be my positive. But I later found it by cutting out the background of the owl.
Seeing things in negative space helps artist because then it can help with seeing shapes better
in different types of art styles. And different shapes in art.
Seeing in negative space does enhance drawings because then not only are you focused on the
object in the picture, but the space around it as well can help you on the basic outline shapes.
Even so, it's very hard to master that type of art style because your so used to the object
instead of the space.

2.) I like the fact that my project is about me. To complement this, I love telling stories about the experiences that I have encountered throughout my lifetime.
3.) If I were to redo the project, I would have spent more time working on it. This would have resulted in me feeling more comfortable about it during the last few days.
