Art: Making Lampblack ink - 2/7/2025
Art: Making Lampblack ink - 2/7/2025
Today, we created ink using soot from candle fire. The first step was to hold a spoon over a candle and let the soot slowly form on it. After it collects, you brush it off into a cup and add Gum Arabic Powder and Alcohol. Then you mix it together, and then you get your finished product of ink. The Chemistry of this is when the Carbon particles mix evenly, where the ink acts as a pigment, and the Arabic gum is the binder. This worked quite well as me and my group members combined our soot.
Art: Creating paper - 1/27/2025
Art: Creating paper - 1/27/2025
Today, we created paper from scrap paper. The first step is to blend the paper in a blender and pour the remains. Next, we used a strainer to drain the water and just pick up the paper scraps. Finally, we dried it out and left it to dry fully and become a solid piece of paper. The art aspects of these papers are the different color choices. The Chemistry part of this is the bonds that are created from this process.

Art: Chinese painting with ink and dye - 1/24/2025
Today we painted using dye and broken brush technique. The first step was to dry your brush and dip it in ink. Then you draw from the foreground first and then the background, the ink becoming lighter and lighter the farther and farther away it is. This represents the depth of the art. Finally, as a final touch, you dip your brush in water and create shading. The art elements in this painting are the custom landscapes and creativity. Chemistry is retaliated to this by the binds created between the paper and the dye.

Art: Dyeing and Bonding experiment - 1/15/2025
Today we dyed bandanas using blueberries and cabbage. Both gave different colors, my group used cabbage making ours purple. The first step of this was to fold and tie parts of the cloth to create patterns. Next, you dunk it in the liquid that has been boiling and now has cooled. You can add baking soda or vinegar to raise or lower the PH giving different colors. Finally, you take it out and wash it off to get the final results. This is Art because of the imagination and creativity that goes into the designs. As well as Chemistry is the PH from the acids.
Art: Weaving string - 1/8/2025
Art: Weaving string - 1/8/2025
Today, we learned how to weave the traditional way. We used a pencil to pick the string, and then we weaved in and out throughout it. I liked the colors I used because they contrast each other nicely and remind me of a spider web. In total, I enjoyed this demo, even though I got a lot of hand cramps.

Art: Weaving paper - 1/6/2025
Today, we weaved pieces of paper together to represent ionic and Covalent bonds. The colors also represent opposites that are pulled to each other, just like the covalent bonds. I think that this helped me creatively learn more about chemical bonds. I liked the colors that were used and Overall, I enjoyed this experience.

Mandala Research - 9/23/24
The first Mandala was recorded all the way back in the first century BCE in accent India. It was used for tributes for the gods and or as a narrative to show an person's perspective in the world. From the photo shown some principles used are pattern, balance and movement.
Experimenting with texture an value - 8/12/24
Experimenting with texture an value - 8/12/24
In this mini project we learned about texture and value and how they interact and change each other. The first part of this assignment was to make our own textures and to describe a feeling or emotion that it would convey. Then we observed one of Van Gogh drawing and tried to replicate his some of his styles of textures and value. finally at the end we were instructed to attempt to recreate the drawing itself, this process could take how ever long you wanted it take, they more time you spent the better the result was gonna be. Personally I did about the median amount of and still having a decent product. In total I found this to be a fun project and wish I had spent more time on my drawing.
Experiments with colors - 8/10/2024
Experiments with colors - 8/10/2024
This was an interesting assignment where we had tried to convey themes or scenes just by using a color pallet. We made 4 color pallets and then showed them to another person. The purpose of showing another person was so we could see if other people see color pallets in the same way they did. My favorite out of the pallets was the grassland with green, and different variants of green. In total I found this assignment to be cool but did take while to make and did get other people opinion on your work which took a while
Experiment with Shapes - 8/8/2024
Experiment with Shapes - 8/8/2024
On this assignment we made abstract art with shapes and lines. The main focus of this assignment was create your own interesting art piece that made people viewing it look across and around the screen. Lines mainly conveyed the movement I feel like, because the way the lines could stretch across from each side of the screen. At the end we talked about how we could do experiment on this assignment and how peers viewed our designs.
Experiment with lines - 7/31/24
Experiment with lines - 7/31/24
This art was like an experiment because everyone's minds work differently, and anything could be made. Also, if I had tried this, I would definitely do something else. Personally, I like these type of art experiments and how you can play around with multiple elements and let your imagination run wild. In total I think that this is for sure an experiment because of the way lines can convey direction and movement across the slide. In the future I wish that there would be a little more than just this, but I still found it fun in the end.
But is it Art? - 7/26/2024
But is it Art? - 7/26/2024
Art is a form of expression and a way to show hardship and struggles through art. Nowadays, it shows Artists' opinions on current events, and art can also be used to show emotions. I feel like everyone views art in different way, and a person's perspective can tell you a lot about them. As well as anything can be art with reason or idea. Art can be used in many other classes, like math where geometrically shapes look beautiful. Personally, I like art and painting minis.

First day of recording - 9/23/24
First day of recording - 9/23/24
Today we worked out all of the problems with our recording devices. This included connection problems as well as our mics being dead to begin with. We also figured out how our costumes go together, and what scene to do. By the time we completed these tasks we had ran out of time to film. In hindsight I could clearly see how did not manage time wisely .
Second day of recording - 9/25/24
Second day of recording - 9/25/24
Today we finally started recording, and in doing so found the usefulness of a green screen. So, for the 1st scene we used the only green screen that was not already used. This can with a couple of issues, such as it being too small as well as that we hand to stand it on table to contort to the height of one of my group members. From this we learned that maybe next time we should try to get a hold of the bigger green screen. In the end we did end up completing the first scene, which is the longest scene.
Third day of recording - 9/30/24
Third day of recording - 9/30/24
Today we recorded the 2nd scene and started the recording on the 3rd scene. Even though we tried use the green screen today, we were unable because of the amount of people who were waiting to use it as well. So instead, we decided to use the patio by the 11th grade hallway. This worked well because it is nice secluded from most of the noise of the school. Funny enough my character was killed in this scene. In total today was a great day of recording and I hope that our finally day is productive.
Fourth day of recording - 10/2/24
Fourth day of recording - 10/2/24
For the final day of recording we did the 3rd and the 4th scene. These were the shortest scenes but by far have the most happening in them. The second person I play actually kills someone and takes control of the empire. I our skit was about the corruption within the roman empire and some of the achievements of the roman empire itself.
World Lit Shaping our world-9/4/24
World Lit Shaping our world-9/4/24
This is the progress that we have so far for our chart, the main plan for the play is gonna be the fall of the Roman Empire. It is meant to also show the corruption within the empire it's self. The characters we have so far are: The Emperor, 2 Guards, Emperor's servant, and Senator.
Team Contract - 8/28/24
Team Contract - 8/28/24
This is the team contract that everyone in my group agreed to sign. This contract insured that everyone does their part in filming and creating the film. I can say in hindsight this did help, but really didn't make a difference in group ethics.
G.R.A.P.E.S Chart - 8/28/24
G.R.A.P.E.S Chart - 8/28/24
The chart shown is basically our research document and it has most the information that was impeded in the film. Everyone had a part in researching a specific part of the civilization. For example, I had economics. So, I went into detail about the Roman's economy. From my research I found that the backbone of their economy came from trading. This made the Roman Empire incredibly wealthy and the more land they concurred, the more natural resources they had to trade.

How does the Ultrasonic sensor work? - 9/20/24
How does the Ultrasonic sensor work? - 9/20/24
HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor, a piece of hardware that we are using in engineering. It can report the range of objects up to 13 feet away. This makes it helpful for detecting walls in your way, and other objects in your robots way. It also provides excellent non-contact range detection between 2 cm to 400 cm. The Trig and the Echo pins are used for sending and receiving the ultrasound waves that detect the distance between it the object. While doing this it also collects the measuring angle. It does this at the speed of sound, if it is as audible hearing range. Which in turn makes it take a very short amount of time to react to changes in the environment.
Formula for calculation based on distance and time:
Formula for calculation based on distance and time:
Distance = (Speed x Time) / 2
What does physics have to do with my robot? - 9/3/24
What does physics have to do with my robot? - 9/3/24
Physics applies to my robot in many ways, for instance how friction, kinetic friction, static friction, mass, and coefficient of friction. To get to the point the main factor of how fast your robot moves, how well it turns and how well the wheels work in general. Yet it could also be how much traction the wheels have on certain terrain and how fast and slow it can go. Static friction is the amount of friction it takes to start pushing an object. usually harder to start pushing an object instead of continuing pushing an object.
