NataleeSchiavoniQ1

When Ms. hull told us that our Q1 art benchmark was going to be based around recycling the first thought that came to my mind is all the waste I see along the beaches and how it is affecting our wild life. At First I had no idea what I wanted my base to be and what the purpose of wild life would come across in my art work. Later the thought came to me and I picture my base to be a sea structure with a fish based scenario and how it is affecting and turning them into something they are not. I took recycled bottles to use as the fishes bodies and things that would be trash and can't be recycled to show others how the wild life is affecting the animals bodies and the sea around us.
When it comes to helping out the environment and saving wildlife I take a big part into that. We only have one planet so we should keep it clean not only for us but for the animals. Incorporating my artwork into project was a great idea because our community is very important and with recycling and helping the environment it doesn't just benefit animals it benefits us to a healthier lifestyle and living atmosphere.

Vaya Noah Vaya!

The purpose of this project is to teach a non-Spanish speaking person how to speak Spanish so living in a Spanish spanking country can be more comfortable. The goals we set for this project are he/she will know how to ask and answer questions in the pas and present tense. They should understand when and how to use verbs in the past tense. He will understand the difference in the past tense and present tense. The goals are important because the lessons taught can help in everyday situations. Referring to the final project, we are especially proud of our over all Idea and effort the we put into creating our project. If we had a chance to start this project over we would have a better planning system. We would have given ourselves a small window of time to make a rough draft of the entire project and not just have to rush in headfirst. Questions that we have for Noah are why did he go to Spain not knowing how to speak Spanish and how hard was it to understand the lessons in the videos.

 

Khalil Clark Marking Period 1

Posted by Khalil Clark in Advanced Art - Hull on
When starting this project I didn't have any clue of what recycled material I would use to make a project. Every time my parents go shopping they bring back plasti bags and put them under the sink and don't use them. Since I knew that I liked messenger bags because I get frustrated carrying backpacks, I decided I would use plastic bags to make a messenger bag.

After coming up with an idea I researched different ways you can make a messenger bag out of plastic bags. When I started working on the bag I realized that sewing everything by hand would take a really long time because I don't have a sewing machine. Therefore I changed my idea to making a laptop case out of plastic bags a an old non-hooded sweatshirt. I used what I had from the messenger bag and add on more bags if it needed to be bigger. After looking at the design of this I realized I didn't want to do this either.

Now I am back to the idea of making a messenger bag out of plastic bags, but with a different take on this. I decided that I will fuse the bags together using an iron and wax paper the same way I would for the laptop case or the first messenger bag I was going to make. After fusing them together I will take a hot glue gun and join the bags together, then cut and finish joining the rest of the bag together. Once I'm done making the bag design I will sew on a strap and hot glue a bag flap on to the bag.
