In this assignment we had to create a typography using sketch.io. We had to use transparent pictures of chemistry tools to make the word ChemVAS. We also used tools in sketch.io to make it. I like the creativity that went into this assignment.
My element was lithium. Lithium is very flammable and explosive. Its found in most of the batteries we use today. The hardest part of this was drawing the flame in the bottom right.
This is my element tile that we had to make using clay. We learned different ways to mark and use the clay. The hardest thing for me was the sculpting because I was having a hard time trying to make the letters. On thing I thought was cool was the kiln. It turned the clay into ceramics by cooking it at very high degrees. I also like that we could use our creativity to make the tiles.
We had to use different types of styles of charcoal drawings. For me the hardest part was the shading. I couldn't figure out how to get it right. The best part was how satisfying it was to draw with. Charcoal is made by burned wood that has low oxygen so it can't turn to ash
The brick
Building the structure
Me helping
We are learning about Ancient civilization. The project was building a structure out of bamboo and making a brick with mud. I helped build the structure by collecting sticks from the trees and getting leaves. The structure was hard to make and the brick was messy to make. I learned how to make a brick like they did in the ancient times.
For our PBL project we had to make symbols. To make the symbols we had to make our own paper. We had to blend up newspapers with water until it was past like. Then we Poured the blended paper into water and scooped it out. This was the hardest part because it was hard to scoop it out and dry it without it falling apart. Then you have to dry it. Once its dry you can start to make your symbol. My favorite part was blending the paper and water together because it was satisfying.
Today we had to make a drawing if anything we wanted as long as it had a principal of design in it. I decided to use proportion. I used it by making different sized circles. the hardest part of this was trying to trace the circles without messing up. my favorite part was coloring in all the circles.
Columbian Exchange PBL
The Columbian exchange is an exchange i products between the west side and east side. Christopher Columbus sailed trying to find India but instead found North America. Peanuts, potatoes, and tomatoes were exchanged by the west side. I like fruit bowls with pineapple from the west side and grapes from the east. For our PBL project we had to cook using food items only from our hemisphere. I helped make the rice and fruit bowl.
We had to fill out a chart for an all payed trip from our work. And what we would do.
So for our final project we had to display everything wrong with the world and everything that us wrong with it. We had to make a painting mimicking Guernica by Picasso. For this we had to split up into different groups and each group had different parts of the painting. First we had to practice using cubism. Then we had to make sketches about what we were gonna paint. Then we cut out our pieces and traced out our painting with pencil. Then we started to paint. When all done we brought them all together for display. My favorite part if this project was the painting part because it was very satisfying. My least favorite part was practicing the cubism because it was very time consuming.
