Gesture Drawings
These slides are demonstrating a quick 30-second gesture drawing I did in class. These slides show a quick 30-second gesture drawing I made in class. Gesture drawing is a fast sketch that captures the movement and shape of a subject. The goal is to focus on the pose and energy rather than small details. In just 30 seconds, I tried to show the action and flow of the figure. This practice helps improve drawing speed and observation skills. It also trains the eye to see basic shapes and movement in a short time.
Change is gonna come Guernica Project
This is a wood piece my group painted on the topic, "The World Is Gonna Change Guernica Project". We were inspired by Picasso's Guernica, showing how art can reflect the pain, struggles, and hope of the world. The piece symbolizes the chaos and challenges people face, but also the idea that change can bring new possibilities. Our painting is a message about understanding, unity, and how we all have the power to create a better future.
Ancient Mesopotamia & China Mud Brick Activity
In these photos, we were learning about ancient Mesopotamia and ancient China. This project was about getting the idea of how people built everything they had which was homes and bricks. When I was involved in the project, I helped put the mud in the mold and shape the brick together. One thing that I observed is that it takes a lot of teamwork and skill to do these things. Another thing I learned is, one thing that is challenging is making sure all the brick is the same size and making sure that the mud is fully mixed. This project is related to other classes because it involves problem-solving, and I say problem-solving because your mud might be too mushy, and you might have other objects in there that you don't want. Another way that this project is related to other classes is it takes teamwork and I say that because out can't do everything by yourself all the time, you are going to need a little help now and then.
Columbian Exchange Project
The Columbian exchange is trading between the New World and the Old World. Both hemispheres had diseases but the east was more deadly. Diseases, Global Trade, and Mercantilism were the defining events that caused the onset of change in the exchange. Bananas onions and grains were introduced into the new world. I love mashed potatoes which come from potatoes brown the New World and steak which comes from cattle from the Old World. In the PBL project, I cut up the bell peppers and sweet potatoes and added the peppers to the meal then I put the sweet potatoes on the griddle and started to cook them.
Glass Piece Project
This is a piece of stained glass that I did for geometry. We had to have 1 parallelogram, 1 rhombus, 1 square, 1 rectangle, and 2 congruent triangles. After that, we had to measure all the shapes and angles and then put them in our journal. The inspiration for our design was seeing the designs from last you and implementing them into ours. One of the 3 elements of the out design was the brief, we had to sit and think about how we were going to design our piece of glass, and what colors we were going to use. The 2nd element of the design was idea development, we had to know how we would put our thoughts on paper. The 3rd was an evaluation modification we had to evaluate if we needed to make any changes, or was the glass was good enough the way we did it. What we've been doing connects our proofs because we had to prove the rhombus was congruent on all sides, and we had to prove that our 2 triangles were congruent Also we had to make sure the rectangle and square were parallel.
Sector Area & arc length Activity
This is a fun activity that we did in class to learn about Sector Area & Arc Length. In class, we did a fun activity to learn about Sector Area and Arc Length. We used circles to explore how to calculate the area of a sector and the length of an arc. The sector area is a part of the circle, and the arc length is the distance along the curved part of the circle. By practicing with real examples, we got a better understanding of these concepts and how they relate to the entire circle. It made learning much easier and more enjoyable!
Empower-U Video
This video I touch on a sensitive topic on abortions for an class assignment. Abortion is a difficult and emotional subject that involves the decision to end a pregnancy. People have different opinions on this issue, and it's important to understand both sides. In my video, I aim to share information respectfully, considering the feelings and beliefs of others. My goal is to provide a balanced view so that viewers can think carefully about the topic and form their own opinions.
