Chemistry & Art Stream Integration

ChemVAS

ChemVAS is a class where you take art and chemistry and show how they work together to create different designs and different art pieces. For this assignment we created typography of the word ChemVAS, using things that are commonly used in chemistry and art. We learned to use a Digital art platform to create verities of shapes, lines and textures.

Its all elementary

My art Represents nitrogen. In this picture you can see a nitrogen tank that is used for cars, In space filling the earth's atmosphere. I decided to illustrate it this way because nitrogen is 78 percent of the earth's atmosphere. I also know that nitrogen is used in cars to make them go faster so I combined the two. This project went well and next time i would probably make the earth come out of the exhaust of the car.

Deeply Rooted Research

Deeply rooted with a project we started at the beginning of our second quarter our main goal was to find out how symbols can reflect cultural differences and also their similarities. We then began researching the use of symbols around the world and then brought it into our own perspective to reflect upon our Modern Life. In our art class we've created handmade borax crystals and these were used to create our Modern Day symbols. I chose to create a star which symbolizes myself and how I look at myself in the coming up years. Bending the paper was difficult the next time I would probably make a bit more to enlarge my project and maybe you different colors so mine stands out a bit more during our pbl showcase. but nonetheless during our pbl showcase I got to say my poem from Ela class alongside my wonderful artwork hanging upon the pbl lab.

Illustrating a Principle of Design

The principles of design I used for my design were movement and pattern. I used many lines stacked onto each other to create my art work. For pattern I used the different squiggly lines to create a piece of art when stacked onto each other. And for movement the motion and directions of my lines create an effect as if the painting is moving in a hilly motion and layered.

Caleb Martin - Charcoal Drawings

Charcoal Drawings

I have learned how to make charcoal look nicer on paper by learning different techniques of shading and value . I also learned you can erase using diffrent textures to give other areas more volume I liked drawing with the charcoal. My least favorite part was how messy it gets and how when you mess up it’s hard that get rid of the mess up which is why I had to restart. And finally Charcoal is made by heating up wood.

ReARTions Exploration

In class, I burned a piece of copper to watch the reaction that occurs when fire touches it. I attached clothes pins to each side of the copper and held it over a candle but not too much to where the candle burned out. I moved the copper in different directions and it started to change colors wherever the fire hit it on the other side. When the fire touched the copper, copper oxide was produced.

Columbian Exchange Research

Christopher Columbus introduced horses, sugar plants, and disease to the New World, while facilitating the introduction of New World commodities like sugar, tobacco, chocolate, and potatoes to the Old World. The process by which commodities, people, and diseases crossed the Atlantic is known as the Columbian Exchange. The Columbian Exchange resulted from Europeans' exploration, conquest, and settlement of the Americas.

End of the year Recap

Over the year, I have grown academically and mentally. Compared to ninth grade, my tenth-grade year has been way more demanding. The workload is much heavier than last year and I participated in more activities this year. From the practices & and long days to the late nights and constant projects, I found it more challenging to manage my time and stay on top of my assignments. With all that being said, I do think that I am more prepared for my junior year than if this year had been more like ninth grade.

I have learned a variety of things when it comes to STEAM and how to apply those things to my other classes and my everyday life. For example, I’ve learned how temperature can affect pressure or different values in a drawing. I've also learned the science behind clay chemical reaction between silicate rocks and water, and even learned how to make plaster of Paris which is 2 parts plaster of Paris powder and 1 part water, stirring until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly blended But this year has also taught me how to work with others & be open-minded to new ideas. This year has been very eventful considering all the PBL projects and opportunities. Because of this, I had to learn how to adapt very quickly to changes in plans or if something didn’t go as planned. These are skills that I know will be beneficial to have in the future.
