Excerpt:

Why meditation works for me. Meditation for me is like a type of therapy. Talking to others doesn’t do anything for me. I always have and still address my worries and lifelong questions to myself, not others. It may be a flaw but that’s not for anyone but myself to let it become one. The first time I meditated it actually didn’t work and during this time I was an Atheist and had no beliefs on afterlives or before life. It wasn’t until I saw an article that said if you don’t believe that meditation will work, then it won’t work. You have to believe that meditation will work for its work. When I heard that it actually only made me not believe mediation worked even more. But a few months later with my anger issues at peaks I decided maybe to try once more, in an effort to calm my anger down and for me to not be so quick to anger I sat myself down in a place I saw as safe, made sure I was comfortable and on the floor. Began to breathe in and out for a seven-second duration of each breath in and out, with my eyes closed I began to see my breath cycle as a symbol much like an infinity symbol with one side with breathing in and the other side of the infinity symbol is breathing out. After this I would begin to think about things deep to me and my personal issues I’m working out. Time would feel a lot slower as the last time what felt to me as 20 minutes was actually over 6 hours. Things like that really take me by surprise and impact the way I think when I see it can control the way I perceive time.

My element is Rubidium, the atomic number is 37. Rubidium was discovered in 1861 by Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff, in Heidelberg, Germany. The reason I choose a rocket ship was because Rubidium is used in vacuum chambers and engines in space. My process was first to draw an image on a piece of paper. Next trace it onto trace paper. Then you have to put this onto a plate backwards, meaning that the picture should be reversed. Then put ink on the plate on the and put a piece of paper on the ink covered plate. Press the plate lightly on the paper and transfer the image. Let dry. My favorite part was when we drew our image. 

We Picked Up So Much Litter!

Posted by Andrew Cheatley in English 1 · Giknis · E Band on

With my first blog post I talked about how the world will look like Earth from the Disney movie, WALL-E. The reason I related the future of Earth to WALL-E’s world is because in WALL-E the world is a trash planet covered in trash. There is buildings made of trash, now our Earth right now doesn’t have buildings of trash, but we do have large heaps and streets filled with trash. So how will it be in the future? Look at my old Blog Post here. In my second blog post I talked about my own research and my results. Such as my graphs histograms, and pie charts. Also how I don’t want people to just pick up litter and make the world beautiful, also I want people who don’t know the full extent of littering and it's effects, to learn that. If you want to see my second blog post go here.

 

There is many companies in the, making the world beautiful business. Cleaning up litter, recycling, etc. Most of these companies have huge amounts of their own research and can’t stand to see humans destroy the planet. They created organizations and began do actually do something about the problems created by humans. I love the earth and it birthed us, the least we can do is clean up our messes right? People who do clean up the world can be seen here. While I don’t have the funds or the people to clean up the world as much as these groups do, I still try and do my fair share, and with this project I was able to. My agent of change was to brings trash bags with me and walk around the school, people who knew that I had the bags would ask for one then would pick up a bunch of litter on their way home. I gave out 16 trashbags. Here are some of the images I got from the people.

This project was my first ever project where I really handled my time and got my hands dirty as well. I had 2 trash bags filled. I worked very hard on this project. I am honestly very happy Ms. Giknis gave a project like this, one where it actually matters to me. I’m sure every single student has felt like most of the projects they get are stupid, pointless etc. This was the only project where we were able to work and try to fix an problem that affects the student and the people around them. I am proud of all the work I produced. Some of the groups that I researched had lots and lots of work and really spoke to me directly, one of them you can see here. This website talks about the Anti-Litter Campaign. The ALC cleans litter in a completely different way than we are used to. Such as this one. In London, a clever team of designers and environmentalists are "tricking" people into changing their litter habits. For example, instead of dropping cigarettes butts on the ground, people are invited to vote for their favorite football player by places their rubbish in a voting bin. This is an example of how this campaign works and how they clean the world. They add a very fun twist to cleaning litter which really is appreciative.

Thinking About The Future

Thinking about the Future


With my first blog post I talked about how the world will look like Earth from the Disney movie, WALL-E. The reason I related the future of Earth to WALL-E’s world is because in WALL-E the world is a trash planet covered in trash. There is buildings made of trash, now our Earth right now doesn’t have buildings of trash, but we do have large heaps and streets filled with trash. So how will it be in the future? Look at my old Blog Post here.


This whole project is about raising awareness about littering. I’m not just trying to make the world more beautiful, I’m trying to show people the effects this can cause and will cause. It's so much more than just dropping a piece of trash in the street. It causes so much harm to this planet to where we will soon have to leave Earth and go to a whole new planet, and leave this planet to be a wasteland. It's shameful for humans to not care. Makes some people ashamed to be humans. It makes me scared for my descendants. I am a person who is very fond of family. The cheatley family always must go on, for me at least. The fact that they will grow up on different planets because the one that birthed us, we destroyed. This is just my opinion though, back on the actual topic.


  People who litter litter because people don't see it as a bad thing, they see it as just a normal act, but they don't see it as harming the planet. As seen in the graph below, you can see that the majority of people would do nothing if they saw someone litter. I think the reasoning is because people just don't want to intrude on people's lives, but for me personally, I would pick up litter if I see someone litter. My mother just always raised me in those ways.  


 I found out a lot about the ninth grade and what they think about littering. Most of the students do think that littering is a bad thing seen in this HistogramScreenshot 2017-05-18 at 9.29.29 PM.png


Also how most people will pick up litter if it is on their property more than if they caused it. That really made me wonder because you’ll pick up others litter but not your own? I was confused. If you would like to see all of the answers on my google form, you can see it right here. When I did dove into others research on littering I came by very interesting websites and topics about littering. If go to this website, you’ll see nine facts of what littering actually does to the world and what humans who care about the world have to do to make the world a tiny bit more pretty from what other humans do. There is another link I have here that is mentioned in the other link. It is about keeping the state of Tennessee clean, but provides great questions and answers. This is probably the best link I’ve seen so far. This provides so much information and really goes in depth with how bad littering is. I really do enjoy how much they work they put into their powerpoint.

Check out my Bibliography here. And just saying, if you want to check out the hyperlinks tap the word with two fingers then open in new tab.

Goofy. The word I picked to describe me and as my stamp is goofy. The reason I picked this word is because it is an unique word that can be illustrated in many different ways. The image and drawing I chose for the word goofy was a jester hat. The reason I put a jester hat and the word goofy together is because during medieval times, jesters were the clowns of the village. They would make fun of themselves and wear silly clothes with random colors to make the village and especially the king laugh. The whole reason for the jester is to please the king. Make him happy and laugh. I honestly enjoy making everyone laugh. It's an great sight seeing people laugh because it makes you feel like they're happy now because of you. The reason I chose to do the hat of an jester instead of an outfit or his scepter is because the hat has an easy design and shape. The scepter is an very thin staff that would take to much to look at or enlarge. The outfit is too much and would look like a normal outfit with the negative and positive areas. It just wouldn't look right. I think that me choosing to do the jester hat isn't really original but it is very unique and creative.

Littering-- Killing us from the inside out

Posted by Andrew Cheatley in English 1 · Giknis · E Band on

http://pixar.wikia.com/wiki/Earth_(WALL%E2%80%A2E)


Look at this concept of Earth. Try and name Differences between that planet and planet Earth.


This is planet Earth in the movie WALL-E. As you can see, it is showing North America but look at all the trash in the atmosphere and how there's no green anywhere on that planet. You can also notice how there is no polar ice cap in the north of the planet, Because of all the trash and pollution Global Warming took it's course and the ice caps most likely melted. As some of you probably know WALL-E is set in the future, and that future can be set in motion for us as well. Our Earth will look all but the same as WALL-E’s version, all because of us littering. The heaps of trash I see now will soon become the towers trash in our future. The pictures below are too compare the differences between a cartoon and a street in India. It isn’t right that people have to see that in our world. People having to clean YOUR trash. This is showing that if we keep going down the path we’re going down. I t will look the same as WALL-E’s


  


As of right now the earth isn’t where it should be with the trash problem. In india there is really bad places filled with trash and litter. Information about this street is here.


As you can see what this littering is doing to certain people and countries in this world.


How I Try as of Now to Prevent Littering


There is too much litter in the world for one person to clean themselves. So whenever I see someone drop litter onto the ground You’ll always see me pick it up no matter what. And once I pick it up I tell them the same speech I said above about WALL-E. Maybe not word for word but still. My mother always told me to never let go of trash and let it go in the streets. She always said, “Bad people make the world Ugly, there's lots of bad people here, which is why it's so dirty.” I guess when I was younger I saw that as, if I let the trash go I’m a bad person which is true.


What I am Going to do in the Future


For this project I’m gonna see how many people litter in my neighborhood in a park. I will see their age, and gender, and make a conclusion to see which type of people litter the most. Also see what they litter. Is it mainly small pieces of trash or larger things.

Negative Drawing Space

Posted by Andrew Cheatley on
1. I see negative space as creating a mirror image. Such as, if I want to have my drawing split in two, half would be light and the other half would be dark. The dark is negative and the light part is positive.

2. The way I found the negative space was looking for the darker shaded portion of the image.

3. Artists seeing in negative space is helpful because you can create images in very different ways and forms. You can have "reverse" drawings with dark on the outside and light in the inside.

4. For me, I think it does enhance drawing. I think this because people always draw positively and seeing it in a negative form shows you can see in different views and can work with things they aren't used to.

Print Making

Posted by Andrew Cheatley in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on
​Printmaking is the art in which a person prints an image onto a sheet of some sort. It is important because it allows readers to have a different way of creating art. Printmaking was so revolutionary was because it spread like a wild fire. People could now create art in negative or positive ways and also it let them do things so precise, they couldn't do it with normal arts.

The reason this post is interesting to me is because I notice how they show a good and evil perception in a dark and light image. Yin & Yang is more than meets the eye. It has lots of meetings etc. I notice how they include a scary pic of venom but show a heroic pic of spidey.

Cheatley's Slide Part 2

Posted by Andrew Cheatley in Technology - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on
I didn't make that many changes but the things that were changed were the ones people told me to. One thing that I changed was the font color. At first it was a salmon pink color now it is a honey yellow. Research is a very important thing in this project. This is because this project isn't about how well the slide looks, it's if it makes sense and it all works well.
                                                                    Reflection
Some things that I learned with this is how to really work on design. Not just the work. I made about two or three changes in my slide. The first slide had an salmon pink color for the font word. I thought that because it is a different color than usual it would help stick out. But my audience said it should be a different color. A brighter color. So I made it an light yellow. My other change was an seperation bar I had in there. They were right, it served no purpose. So I took it off. If you didn’t research you probably would’ve lost a lot of extra points. Some that you would've wanted.

The Internet Control (2)
The reason I wrote about The Internet Control is because of how big of an thing it is in the real world. The control the internet has over the world is huge. Almost all of America has internet in their house and business. Most of the current generation is consumed by daily internet. I want to show people the dangers and perks of having the internet and just understanding the risks. 

Andrews Home Network

Posted by Andrew Cheatley in Technology - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on
​explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection.
        My L.A.N. is all my devices connected to a fios router, which is connected by a fiber optic cord then goes to the world wide web.

reflect on what you learned about networks, did you have an OMG moment that you learned something new and interesting? if now write about what you learned.
       What I learned was that the stuff you receive or send goes through an exploratory amount of distance and ect. to go to my computer or the receivers.


what would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network?
     I would tell them it takes a lot of money. Also that you have to buy fios because they have fiber optic cables which means it goes the speed of light almost.
