The First picture you see, is the Still Life picture of the coke bottle which was not as difficult as drawing Samuel Kabangai, which is in the next three pictures and is not completed.
El Bola Proyecto_Katherine Hunt
La película fue hecho para promover la prevención del maltrato infantil. Yo hice un email para una mujer de una organización. En el email me llamo Don Federico Fernández y habló de como fui testigo de ver a El Bola ser herido.
Estimada Señora Amaralise de la
Organización para el maltrato infantil,
Yo
soy un profesor llamado Don Federico Fernández, testigo de un niño llamado
Pablo. El ha sido maltratado por su papá. Mi hijo Rafael y sus
compañeros han visto lo que está pasando con este niño, pero ellos eligen hacer
la vista gorda. El maltrato infantil es una cosa muy sería y no debe
ser dejado al lado. Como profesor de Pablo veo que él viene a la escuela muy
temprano. A veces se nota que el no se quiere ir a la casa ni tan poco veo que
el es un niño feliz y muchas veces esta de mal humor. Cuando el estaba
cambiándose la ropa para la educación física vi que el tenía muchas cicatrices
y también unos moratónes en todo el cuerpo. La cicatriz era bien
grande y preocupante y el moratón era de los colores negro y
morado.
Cuando
vi las marcas en el cuerpo de Pablo le pregunté lo que sucedió. Pablo me
contesto “ Nada, me caí en la orilla de la escalera en mi casa”. Cuando el me
dijo eso supe que la herida del era por una razón mas grande de lo que
el piensa que pensé. Me fije que la crueldad y la negligencia
que el papá del chaval ha sido capaz de es bien preocupante.
Muchas personas en la sociedad no se han enfrentado con la
realidad de que el abuso es un tema bien sensible.
En
el principio de esta experiencia y del momento que reconocí indicios del
maltrato infantil supe que tuve que hacer algo. A la misma vez no pude
hacer nada por que yo, ni los demás teníamos la prueba suficiente. Una
verificación de que fue verdad que Pablo ha sido maltratado es cuando el no
vino a la escuela por una semana. Yo intenté coger pasos para averiguar
y preguntarle al papá de Pablo por que el no estuvo en la escuela. La escusa
del papá fue que el estaba enfermo en la casa de su abuela, pero cuando le
pregunte al chaval el me digo que su amigo a muerto y que él estaba deprimido.
Un
día vi que el comportamiento del papá del chaval no era civil y
que la forma de que el papá lo estaba tratando era bien violento. El lo tiro
contra la pared y resulto con azotar a Pablo en la cara con un alambre
hecho por metal. Pablo solamente pudo gritar, llorar y coger el dolor que el
papá le estaba dando. Había mucha frustración en la cara de los dos, pero había
mucho más rabia y dolor en los ojos de Pablo. Me puse de lo mas feliz en ese
momento cuando grabé y le tiré fotos de lo que sucedió.
Con
la prueba suficiente, en ese momento yo sabía que pude denunciar el papá
de Pablo. Estuve feliz porque supe que ya Pablo no estaba en peligro como yo
tuve la evidencia. En ese momento también era uno de los momentos más
espantosos de mi vida. Cuando me fijé que había una solución me puse de lo mas
feliz. Yo le ha escrito ha tu compañera Maritza varias veces sobre esta
situación por que se que ella puede ayudar. A Maritza le di las imágenes y el
video y ella me digo que te lo entrego a ti. Como tú tiene la evidencia, te
estoy preguntando que por favor me mande la prueba porque aunque yo denuncie la
situación la policía necesita la grabación e imágenes para ayudar a Pablo.
Aquí hay las preguntas que me ha preguntado la
policía:
1. ¿ Para cuanto supiste que esta situación estaba
ocurriendo?
2. ¿Sabes de mas testigos?
3. ¿Qué día fue que viste que el papá de Pablo lo
pego?
4. ¿Tienes mas evidencia de lo que ocurrió?
Se
que la única evidencia además de lo que ustedes tienen es de lo que cuando vi
las marcas en el cuerpo del niño y también los indicios del maltrato. Los
indicios han estado allí desde casi 7 meses. No puedo darle la respuesta de
cuando paso ni cual día fui testigo de lo que sucedió hasta que tu me mande la
prueba. Por favor hazme el favor de mandar me lo con urgencia. Agradezco el
tiempo que me puedes dispensar.
Atentamente,
Don Federico Fernández

Write AT LEAST 5 sentences that describe your work and work ethic for quarter three
My work for quarter three wasn't that good. I tried but I'm not good with art so I just did what I could. My work ethic was fine though. One thing I cold have done differently was taking some things home and doing them to sped up the process. If I had done that I would've had everything done.
look at the assignments for next quarter, quarter 4 and state 2 goals you have for yourself in quarter 4.
1. Get everything done ASAP
2. Don't waist time
Alexander Ringgold
The first thing I think I drew in the third quarter was my face in charcoal. It's disproportional and my eyes are girly and big but I'm just proud of the shading.
Then we were assigned to draw our hands from real life. This only made me self conscious of my hands and how old they look. I've been practicing hands for my manga so this was kinda easy. The first one was my hand and my wrist band on, but then I added a tattoo because, why not? The second one is a joke of some making a backwards L and misspelling Loser into Joser. Joser is a good band name, I should keep that in mind.
The next assignment wanted us to draw a person in real life, so I drew my friend Natalie. I think this drawing is an insult to her appearance and I hope she doesn't sue me when I post this on a public website. I only like her hair an shading because I get those skills from drawing manga.
The next one is another picture of me smiling my creepy smile of mine, but I guess the bad face compensates for the cool hat. Also I look very tired in this picture and my venom undershirt poking out looks kinda cool.
My next picture is my first clear container, it was a plastic juice pitcher and I probably had the most difficult time with this as I am a perfectionist and I wanted it to be perfect. The picture is anything but perfect.
My last picture is a glass vase with a piece of non edible vegetation inside. The vase nor the non edibility stop me from eating that scrumptious piece of vegetation and draw an ok picture of the vase.
Dear Journal...
12 year old in Somalia
Emotionally scarred
It was in the corner of the carpet and caught my eye as I let my eyes wonder from my book. I screamed. Loudly. Tr. Dianna came running in, expecting to see a student dead or dying. When she realized that I had made such a commotion over a bug, a dead one at that, she decided to teach me a lesson. Instead of simply giving me a detention, she crafted a more creative punishment.
The next day, I came to her room with a pencil and sheet of paper as she had instructed. She then placed the dead cockroach on the table in front of me and told me to draw it in detail. I spent 15 minutes dissecting the bug with my eyes. I have never been so disgusted in my life.

I'm not a fan of forever, so I'll love you till time runs out is my way of saying I'll love you forever. Time will never run out, no matter what happens. Life keeps going, clocks keep ticking.

Physical pain
I fell backwards and landed on my wrist. I couldn't even feel the pain at first; I was more concentrated on the fact that I couldn't seem to get any air in my lungs. It was the scariest feeling I've ever experienced. However, once I regained by breath, I realized that my wrist no longer wanted to move. At the hospital, I found out that I had buckled, not broken, it. Honestly, the distinction made little difference to me. I still had to wear a cast for most of the summer and take a shower with a trash bag on my arm.
I'm still friends with Yvonne, but have never let her forget that she was primarily responsible for my buckled wrist.

Belgium life at 12
Belgium schools seem just like our schools when I was younger. You wake up your parents take you to school. You see your friends and you play activities all day to make it fun, but also to learn. You get new and creative games in gym class. They play duck duck goose at recess. They also get served lunch by their school. So them and us are pretty mush the same.

El Bola Proyecto-Email
En clase, nosotros vímos una pelicula, El Bola, sobre el maltrato infantíl. En la pelicula, un niño, se llama Pablo, esta abusa; su papa le azota. Mi proyecto está dos emailes sobre la abusa de Pablo, entre una mujer y un agente de policía.
Estimada Policía,
Me llamo Julia Boyer, vivo en el barrio cerca de su oficina. Tengo cuarenta años y soy una maestra en la Universidad. Estoy escribiendo porque quiero denunciar un problema. Hay un chaval en mi barrio y pienso que su padre le abusa. Miro al niño mucho porque reconozco los indicios de maltratar.Yo entiendo que maltratar infantil es un tema serio y la policía necesita un razón para una investigación. Entonces, escribí una lista de indicios preocupantes para prueba suficiente.
La familia del chaval tiene muchos problemas. Cinco años pasados, su niño se murío en un accidenté del coche. Luego, el chaval, se llama Pablo, nacío. Posiblemente, su padre le azota Pablo porque el extraña su niño. Pero, hay otros indicios de negligencia. Pablo no tiene supervisión adulta; yo veo Pablo en la calle durante escuela y durante la noche. Es obvio que el llega temprano a la escuela y sus padres no tiene un idea. Tambien, el comportamiento emocional de Pablo es un indicio. Por ejemplo, cuando se saludo, siempre está alerta y contesta muy rapido y quietamente. Es como el tiene miedo de su padre todo el tiempo. Finalmente, una día, cuando Pablo estuvo caminando, vi algunos moratónes en sus brazos y su cuello. No se pregunte a que pasa, porque piense que Pablo habré mentido.
El padre es un hombre muy severo. El trabaja en un ferretería y Pablo ayuda con los clientes. No hablo con el mucho; tengo miedo de el, también. Pero algunos tiempos, cuando llego a la ferretería, oí el papa gritando a Pablo. Mucha del tiempo es porque Pablo respondío despacio o porque el respondío con disrespeto. El papa usó palabras malos y intimidó a Pablo.
Por favor se enfrenta con el papa. Pablo necesita ayudar y tiene tan miedo para preguntar alguien. Es muy preocupante y yo necesito su ayuda a prevenir esta crueldad. Es parte de tu trabajo promover la prevención de abusar. Por favor, me escribe rapido.
Julia Boyer
Estimado Srta Boyer,
Gracias para su denuncio. La mayoría de personas hacen la vista gorda, tu eres muy valiente para su interés. Desgraciadamente, no somos capaz de detener el padre con su prueba. La realidad es que el niño necesita que confesar. Si tú hablas con Pablo y convences el a confesar, nosotros podemos empezar una investigación.
Hay preguntas para averiguar la relación entre Pablo y su papa. Un indicio de maltrato es si el padre y el niño consideran que su relación es completamente negativa. Si Pablo dice que no caerse bien con su papa, es un indicio tambien. Por favor, si tu hablas con Pablo, hablar tranquilamente y permitio a Pablo ser cómodo.
Si sientes comfortable, puedes hablar con el papa. Hay comportamientos si el papa abusa Pablo. Si el demuestra poco interés por su hijo, si niega la existencia de los problemas del niño o si piensa que el niño es por la naturaleza malo, hay mas prueba de maltratar.
Para mi denuncio oficial, puedes preguntar algunas preguntas:
1) ¿Cuantos personas están en la casa del niño?
2) ¿Cuantos años tiene?
3) Un descripción de su ambiente.
4) Un descripción de su padres: oficinas, edades, descripción físicas...
Gracias para su ayuda. Es muy importante para nosotros recibimos denuncios como este; sin los, muchos padres continúan someter a sus niños a crueldad.

Reflection
My life at 12-years-old was nothing compared to what the children of Bulgaria go through. For the little girl I made up, her life was considered great compared to the other girls in the country. Many girls at that age are married, and have children very young. A lot of children in Bulgaria live in foster homes, and are adopted by Americans or the wealthy of the country. The thing that surprised me the most was the amount of children that are being put up for adoption for many reasons. Whenever I did research for my country, I kept getting things about adoptions agencies, and the steps you must take to adopt a child (which is not very hard in Bulgaria). The thing that didn't surprise me was how many of the children who suffer from malnutrition in the country because their families are poor. In certain cities the citizens are pretty wealthy, but as you move to the more rural areas that begins to change. I think that when most of these kids are 40, they will have great-great-great grandchildren! Most likely they will not be well adjusted enough because they spent most of their childhood as parents. If not that then they probably won't make it to 40.
She is...
She is someone who is of
African American descent.
She is someone who is tall,
almost as tall as I
she is someone who is Light
skinned, with Long, dark brown hair
She is someone with big,
dark brown eyes
She is someone who has a
smile that brightens any room
She is someone who loves animals
She is someone who loves
candy
She is someone who can hold
her own in a video game tournament
She is someone who can
spend her life at sea, she swims that well
She is someone who knows
her way around a city, as long as it isn't Philadelphia
She is someone with her mind in the clouds, only because her
dreams are there
She is someone who is
willing to go the extra mile for people in spite of herself
She is someone who can deal
with the weight of the world because its her nature
She is someone that can keep a smile on
her face no matter what the situation
She is someone who has her weak moments,
but no one would ever know it.
She is someone who I can go to, to talk
about anything
She is someone who comforts me and makes
me feel like I am special
She is someone who I feel sees the real
me, even when I put on a mask for other
She is someone that keeps me going when
I can’t think of any other reason to go
She is someone…someone I will forever
hold dear to my heart
She is…
Day in the Life Nicaragua
There a few similarities of a life of a 12 year old Nicaraguan boy to my life as a 12 year old American girl. First comparison is that we both go to school, however his classroom was way smaller than mine and his class size was way bigger than mine. Although Nicaragua is the poorest country in Central America I wasn't surprised to know that 92% of kids go to primary school. I know this because I visited Nicaragua 3 years ago and during the day all the children were in school. While this was expected one thing that did surprise was how little people had healthcare. I figured the working class (which was my 12 year old boy's family) would have health care; however after I factored in the size of his family and went over some data I came to the conclusion that his family wouldn't be able to afford health insurance. I think that by age 40 the boy will be working, have 4-5 children who will attend primary school and possibly secondary but might not make it onto college. I think by the time the boy is 40 Nicaragua will have universal healthcare, however the boy and his family still might not have access to adequate healthcare.
