     When my group first got together, we discussed how we would design this campaign. My group decided that we wanted to target teenagers because we are talking about teen pregnancy and that is more a problem among the teen crowd. Also we discovered that if a teen hears something interesting, their more likely to to tell their parents. Then we decided that we were going to use the most popular social media sites to spread the world about our campaign. We created pages on Facebook and twitter. We wanted to use these sites to monitor how many people like the page. We wanted to see how many people actually cared enough to see our campaign and if we got the message across.

Finding the information for this campaign was fairly easy. Sterling and I were assigned this issue when we were partners so we used the information we collected for our presentation. We wanted to put on our web pages statistic that we didn't know until we researched it. But one thing my group wanted to be careful of is that we didn't want to present a bunch of boring statistics that no one cared to read or even look at. So we updated the twitter and Facebook everyday with one new statistic, just like positing a daily status. 

I was in charge of the Facebook site. I was proud because it got many likes and people actually liked the post. This was surprising because even though Facebook is used, it isn't used as much as it was used to so I didn't expect a lot of people to like the site. The twitter page was shocking to me. I was surprised because almost every teenager has a twitter, but the page only has 10 followers. I was shocked because I thought we get more attention on twitter then Facebook. But now I understand teens just don't follow random sites on twitter. Also the thing that hurt us is that we have a video but we never shared it. The video is good but the fact we didn't promote it, I think it hurt us the most. 

But overall this campaign was good but not a success. We got people to have an interest in our campaign and that is the most important of all. Even though things weren't smooth at times but we got everything done. 

Perspective changes everything and we always need to be aware of how perspective influences us...

 Perspective is always there and what keeps are minds aware. In English class Mr. Block always made sure we as his students always see or look at things in perspective. Perspective is needed when learning because no one can look at anything in one perspective because if you are, then you will really learn nothing at all.

In class we had to use perspective when we were looking through the “Feminist Lenses”. We had to look through situations in history through different lenses because "through different lenses,what do we discover?" We had to look through it as a woman or man. How would they see the situation? It really pulled everyone from their seats because you had to rewire you brain to think as a woman who was all about woman empowerment or as man who saw that all women do was wrong. It helped keep the mind dynamic because you had to switch roles fast when playing in the Feminist Lens.

One of the assignments I had to use perspective was my play I wrote for Philadelphia Young Playwrights.  I wrote about two girls who are a millions miles away from each other and have completely different lives meet and bond over having the stress of SAT. I had to use perspective in this because I am a sophomore and have never taken the SAT before so I had to have my character play the role of someone preparing for it. It was hard at first since I didn’t know how a person would feel. Then I remember watching a documentary about Korean students preparing for the entrance exams in college. I could see the nervousness in their face because this one test can determine your whole future. I really wanted to show how “Behind closed door there are a hidden world full of secrets.” I wanted to show how stressful the SAT could be and resulted in life and death for a lot of students. I played off that emotion and kept on playing with it. It helped as I wrote for my other characters and had to change my perspective as a daughter, mother, and an abuser father. It helped because I continually had to change perspective to write for my characters. I had to play their mindset and the history behind their lives. That was one of the greatest time I had ever had to change and use perspective like that.

In another time I had to look at things in perspective but also using art. We had to create a dance for “The Art In The Open” for the Leah Stein Dance Company. I had to use perspective because I had to see how choreography would look through my eyes but also my partners and the audience because “art can be the most powerful language." I had to make sure that the audience could see the choreography at all times and continually changes are positions. We also had to make sure the audience heard and understand out story behind the dancing and why we choose specific moves. That is a time we had to incorporate art into our perspective.

Another piece that I though that would use perspective was my French/Haitian Revolution Role Play. I felt this one also use perspective because we all had to play roles of people who existed during that time because "every character played a role in the revolution." This role play had to use perspective because everyone constantly changed roles and had to speak and think for their character. We had to use perspective because we had to see a situation through their eyes and not their own.

For our English class we had to start a Poetry blog. It was difficult at first because " I would just enjoy reading it but never capable of writing it." At first it was okay because the poems were easy to write about. Then it got really hard because we had to write an ode to inanimate objects. I choose a clock and I had to write about a deeper meaning a clock had. I had to look at it from a perspective in an artful manner, which was hard because it wasn't me at all. But it challenged me to push out of my box and do something more creative. Writing from a perspective of what is the message behind a clock helped my writing become more creative.

 Overall I have learned many things in Mr. Block class. But perspective is one the lessons that stood out to me. It will be something I will use for the future. Perspective is what everyone needs to see life in a different light. Everything I had to do or create in Mr. Block class has taught me that. I am thankful for all the opportunities we had to learn that and everything we got to do. This has been a great sophomore year that I will never forget. 

How do Ibo gender roles compare to gender roles in our society

-Woman has a say in discussions

-Women can work

-Women are considered impatient

-Women are responsible for themselves

-Women are more respected

-Women are not sold off to men

-Women don’t have to take care of men

-Women are independent

 

 

Finding your voice is where you don’t care about anyone opinions and just say what you honestly feel or think

 

-Honestly telling your story/speaking honestly

-Realize who you are

-Finding peace with oneself

-Happy place

-Learning to express

-Not caring about other people thoughts

-Not being taken advantage of

 

Janie finds her voice when she loses her husband. She doesn’t’ have a man physically abusing her anytime she wants to speak her mind. No one in the world to tell her if she is wrong or right. She finally learns to think and love herself for who she is. But losing her husband was the best and worst time of her life. But she was taught one lesson throughout all losses, She need to love herself before any man loves her. 

I want to write about food…

 Food. Food is awesome. Food is good. Food helps you live. Food is beneficial to your health and life overall. Food makes you happy. Food is your best friend but also you’re worst. Food is so good and can make you so happy. Food just can lift up your sprits and brings anyone and everyone joy. Food is your best friend when no one else is there. Food will never turn its back on you.

Dalena Bui Photography

 

For this quarter I decided to choose to do my own project involving photography. Last quarter is when I choose to do photography. I was a bit rusty at first now I am more comfortable finding or taking pictures and editing them with photoshop. This whole process made me way more comfortable with photoshop and being able to edit pictures like the way I want and everybody else to see it. i am able to photoshop in a snap and not think twice about it and I really enjoy that feeling. My pictures have become sharper and cleaner and more precise.

Process...

For this quarter I decided to put down my camera for two reasons. One because I was to busy to go out and take pictures and second I have been on Tumblr a lot and I saw a lot of pictures I could edit. I am a Tumblr user and I loved the different pictures I seen on there and how people could capture such a beautiful moment. But I always saw something was missing in the picture and it could be better. Then I thought if I could take those pictures and make them… prettier? Then I decided that would be my project this quarter of taking art and making it better and most importantly my own. I really liked what I did because I am so much more comfortable with photoshop and making the pictures the way I want it to look.

Closing Out The Quarter...

Overall this whole year has been awesome. I let myself get creative and be myself in a artistic way I never thought I could. I tackled photography which I never thought I could do before.I got to do something I really enjoyed but never did because I didn't think I was good enough. Because of art I started to see things in a new perspective. I would like to thank Ms. Hull for letting medo this project and giving me the chance to try something new. I ended this last quarter strong. Hope you enjoy.

 

For this quarter I decided to choose to do my own project involving photography. I always had a interest in photography and I never tried to purse it. But this quarter while I was researching on independent art projects to do and I stumbled upon a page on abstract pictures. It had everyday objects but in different angles and shadows. The project looked really cool to do and interesting. I wanted to see if I could recreate my own abstract art and edit them to see what it would be like.

It was hard at first because I am just a rookie taking pictures and I am not good at photoshop so this project was going to be challenging to me but I was up for the challenge. This project challenged me in the best possible way and I really want to try more things with photography.

 This is my process...
For the first part of my project I wanted to start in school. I wanted to see if I could take everyday things and make it portray a different image or emotion by editing it. I went around the school taking pictures of stairs, gates, lockers and other random things posted around the school. My goal was to see it I could make them totally different from what I originally saw them 

Below is my pictures from around the school 

Next...
For another part of my project I chose to find different pictures on the internet that was already abstract or different. My challenge was to tak art that was weird and crazy and portray a feeling already and change it into something that was almost unrecognizable to the orignal work. Working in it was hard because it was difficult to erase an emotion of a picture and portray a new one. I used different shadows and lights to give it a new refreshed feeling. The work below the school picture shows my work.

For this assignment we had to sketch a clear object using charcoal. I was nervous at first because I am not good at sketching or using charcoal. but once you get the outline like shown in this picture which was glass cup it gets really easy. My first steps were to darken the background area to create more depth and shadows. then I drew the outline. Then comes where I take my eraser and create shadows and reflections where the lights were hitting off the glass. Overall it was pretty easy

For this assignment we had to sketch artwork that was two dimensional. First i choose picture offline and sketched it onto a piece of poster board. Then I wanted to use paint but decided to use charcoal because I wanted to see how it would look. I know it isn't very good because I am still learning to sketch and this is my second time using charcoal but for a beginner its pretty good.

For this assignment Ms. Hull wanted us to edit 5 photos. For this project Ms. Hull showed us how to use photoshop. I happy she did because I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO USE IT! Now i am sorta good at it.I played around with the effects for awhile because I liked using different lighting to make it a whole new picture. For my pictures I either changed the lighting or cropped it. Or added more tones for it. It was very fun to do. Now photoshop is simple to use.

Introduction & Reflection

I have really never thought about language identity. All of thought of myself was a American person and Vietnamese. This paper helped me realized how language is not only a part of you but how you can communicate in many different ways with the world. Language is a used in so many ways people don't even know. 

When I first started this paper i didn't really know what to write. The idea" Language Identity really confused me because I have never even thought about it. After I got my idea down the paper came with ease because my life was filled with it. The strong parts of my paper is where I have a conversation with my dad because that scene is something I never forgot. It truly shows emotions of how language is so universal. The hardest for me was just getting all my ideas on a paper and some scenes lack depth but overall I am proud of my paper. I learned that Language is done in so many different ways. Language is always in our lives but we never noticed it.


Language Autobiography

First I put out a blank canvas and then I put a charcoal light background to it because it helps with the shading. I first got into it because my art teacher showed us a video on shading. I felt like I could of added more dimension to my artwork. I feel that my artwork is really nice and I like the depths that were added into this picture. My favorite tool is charcoal because it is really fun to use. My favorite material is charcoal. I like the depths of the shading in my picture. The depths of the shading really add a lot to the picture. Circles emerge a lot in my drawing. This is my first time doing shading like this. Well this drawing is all black and gray and it adds a lot of depth. shading, and color also to this drawing.

My figure drawing consist of Jamie side. At first the drawing was hard because I didn't know how to draw the features and the body from the side. I like the side profile because it captures her face well. My favorite part was using charcoal because drawing with that was really messy and fun. I really like drawing side profiles because it captures the profile really nicely. The side profile turned out really nicely because it captures all of the model features nicely. The patterns that appear in the image are squares and circles and rectangles appear throughout the picture. Everything was new to me because I never had art in my old school. The teal was my favorite to use because it adds brightness to the pictures. The color teals add brightness , color , and brightness to the picture.

​This project was to get different people opinion on the pipeline and how they see and view how it effects people and the economy. Through this monologue I wanted people to see the thoughts of the people on on the pipeline and how it effects them. The issues I wanted people to see was the pros and cons of this pipeline.

The Story No One Hears

*As Obama walks into the pressroom. He looks in the solemn faces of the people in the room and he feels sorrow*

My people hear me speak as a person not as the president talking into a microphone and listen to me and think of me as one of you. I, Obama have heard the concerns about the pipeline. But everyone puts the blame on me. But no one knows the back-story … my story of this pipeline. I do everything for this country and I try to do what is right but it can never be enough. As soon as anything goes wrong everyone points the finger at me. I try and try but I can do no right. If I have to have millions of people to hate me even though I am doing what is right for this economy so be it. If I have to ignore the screams and cries of the world because of this pipeline then I have to. If I have to look at people in the tearful eyes saying I have to do what is right for the economy and put their feelings aside then I’ll do it. But no one knows the guilt I have to face every time I open my eyes to a new day and close my eyes to end one. My family supports me in every decision I make. But I am afraid that they wont be able to look at me after the decision I make. My children will be ashamed to call me their father. This is my true horror. I’ll just sit and put in my headphones and close my eyes to blur out the screams and the tears of what this pipeline will do to people. If I have to live with guilt on my hands forever. So be it. But in the end I hope people don’t look at me as a monster but a person who try to do something right.

One thing can destroy everything. 

·      He walks up to the stage of the assembly in his town and looks at everyone will a sad face with his family looking at him in the front row*

 The tar sands pipeline. People surveying my land and mumbling to each other. Those images have been staying in my head for many months on and on. How can the president just do this? How can he do this to his people? Why this land? Why does he have to kill the land I live on just for this pipeline? What did I do to deserve this sad life? All these questions just stay in my head and will never have an answer. This pipeline will destroy this land I have lived on for 15 years of my life. My family grew up on this land. I want my children to love this land and learn about when they grow up. I want my children to inherit this land. Why is one pipeline is going to take that all away from me. It will leave my family with out our home and my children without any memories of where they lived. My children will grow up and never see the land they lived on.  How can one pipeline people say with better us but is it taking away so much? Why else will it take in the years coming? What will our children have to look forward to? What state will our ecosystem be in? The tar sands pipeline is a nightmare that appeared in front of me. The nightmare of tar sands pipeline appeared on my doorstep and hasn’t left since. Will this nightmare ever end? Will it ever get better from here on?

 The good of the future

 *Walks on the stage full of protestors who doesn’t want the pipeline*

I have seen and heard the people voices of this pipeline but nobody sees what better it can do for our lives. People need to see the state this economy is in. We are so close to having a second depression. And people are protesting this pipeline? Why are they so selfish? Ok what if this pipeline doesn’t happen and we go down to an economic slump. What can the protesters do now? Absolutely nothing. With this oil we can look towards a new future and new beginnings. We can looks towards a brighter future. We can stop out dependence on foreign oil and stop this war over oil perhaps. All these points you just heard are the pros of this pipeline and obviously the pros outweigh the cons. This pipeline will be for the better and everyone needs to see that. Stop bashing the pipeline and see what good it will bring to this economy. This will make all the problems we have today disappears. We need this pipe like no one knows. This could be a better brighter future for us Americans. So protestors need to put their feelings aside and see the bigger better future. They need not to so selfish and see that this will affect many people lives for the better then the worse. This pipeline will fix everything and create many jobs, which we Americans are lacking and this can fix our downfall in the jobs area. We need this pipeline more then it needs us. With this pipeline the economy will hit a all time high. So people need to change their thought on protesting this pipeline.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

          It all started when I was graduating from middle school. Everyone else was excited but I was nervous as hell. I am a very shy person and when walking into a room without knowing anybody is a hell zone for people with personalities like me. This is how I became a sophomore today here at SLA. As I come in through the door after walking home from school with a huge fever and sweat running down my face and my face is red as a tomato. I feel like there is a volcano exploding in my head.  As I run upstairs to go to sleep but I realized I left my phone downstairs. I was waiting for a call from SLA to see if I would get admitted or not and I waited everyday near my phone for two weeks. But I was really tired from the fever and it was spreading as quick as a wildfire and I decided just to leave it because I had lost all hope of getting that call or even getting in. As I awoke from my nap still lightheaded from the fever I felt I was walking on clouds as I walked downstairs to watch TV. I grab my cell phone to check if I had any text messages. I opened my phone and it said I had a missed call.

 All a sudden my heart was beating really fast and the room started spinning because I wondered was this was call I was waiting for. I called the number back and a lady answered the phone asking do I still want to come to SLA and I was in shock. I didn’t know what to say but then I snapped back to reality and I said yes. She told me to come in to take a placement test then hung up. I just stared at my phone confused wondering if I got in or not because she just told me to come in to take a test so I didn’t know if that was a definite yes or not.Then I finally grabbed my phone and ran upstairs with my heart beating so fast and called my counselor who was trying to help me get into SLA at that time. I waited for her to pick up. She picked up and I told her what happened she told me I got in and I was screaming and shouting and called everyone in my phonebook. I knew all that hard work has finally paid off as I ran upstairs I felt like Rocky running up those stairs to go on face book to announce I finally got in to SLA. After waiting for a couple of weeks because I know summer institute had started. I get out my dad car and I walked towards the door of SLA very slowly because I knew it was going to an awkward horrible day. I couldn’t find the door to the school because I only went there once and I was to scare to remember anything and I ran out of there as fast as I could. I walked in the door with the heaviest heart because I knew this was a hell zone for shy kids like me. 

I got handed a paper and was told to take a seat I turn around to see a sea of chairs and kids looking either angry or bored. I take a seat as quickly as I could. I was so bored. I had to wait there half an hour and a played with the piece of paper like I was given the best game in the world to play with. They told us to head up to the rooms we were assigned to. I walked up those stairs my feet felt like cinder blocks weighing a hundred pounds each because I knew something bad was going to happen. Then I realized I was I was lost because I didn’t know where the second floor was and I had to ask some random stranger looking at me like I was the dumbest person in the world because they pointed to the sign on the door the said the second floor. My face was red as a tomato as I ran down because I did not want to see the person face that helped me. I walked into the class and new faces stared at me with a “what are you doing here” expression. I took my seat as quickly as I could and I had never had been so embarrassed in my life. I sat there wondering if the day could get any worse. I sat there with all these unknown faces looking at me with a pissed off face. I felt so little compared to all these kids and I was little enough already. I can feel sweat building up in my body because I was so nervous. 

 The teacher had us all introduce ourselves and my voice was like a mouse barely squeaking because no one could hear me. My throat closes up when I get really nervous so there was no way I could talk any louder. We had to play games and I was ready to cry cause my shyness was overcoming me so much that I could barely move from my seat. I wonder how everyone faces looked so calm. I played the game but I tried to not volunteer as much as possible. But the teacher kept picking on me. I was so close to throwing my shoe at him because he can obviously see that I was shy. But when we had to go on our expedition it was really fun because I met some new potential friends. We went to Logan Square and it was really hot that day so the water was cooling us down but all of us had no idea to do. We just walked around the fountain what felt like hundreds to times.  Then it was all pretty much boring after that. But towards the end of that day I broke out my shy shell and made really good friends till this day. I found out a lot about myself a lot that day and knew I could make friends easily if I just was myself. Though my day was a ton of embarrassing moments there were still a handful of good moments to. Even though I hate being embarrassed in the end it always take me to good places and learn new lessons. 

The word “embarrassing” is what I can honestly say is the most used and known word in my life. Embarrassing things happen a lot to me and I can’t help it when a situation gets too much for me and then I can’t stand the fact anymore. And sometimes I get put into situations that I can’t handle and when things get really bad it becomes a hell zone for shy and easily embarrassed people like me. Some people can handle embarrassment easily and shake it off like it never happened. For other people that moment keeps replaying over and over again in their head and it never stops and they will never forget it and they fear that people will never forget and look at them differently.  Embarrassment can be your best friend and worst enemy. From my own experience it is my worst enemy but also my best friend cause always in the end they bring me to good places.

What is negative space?- Negative space in the drawing is the space that surround the picture that is not occupied or used.

How I find the negative space in my drawing?- I found the negative space by looking at the positive space that surround my picture and looking at the space that surround my drawing.

My cutout in my drawing shows a tree and the positive space on one side and the negative space that surrounds the positive space on the other side resulting showing the meaning in the picture of negative and positive space.

In my stool drawing I show the negative space surrounding my stool drawing my shading in the space around it.

A artist seeing negative space in the drawing shows the artist to see the true shape of what their drawing and they see what shapes negative space.

Seeing negative benefits your drawing because if shows you the true shape or form of the object their drawing and the negative space surrounding it shows what shapes or shadows it makes in the drawing.
