Use this sticker as you seek understanding of the assignment or problem. Typically this will come from the community, your instructor, or your own observation. You must completely understand the objectives of the project to be successful, so this step is crucial. Develop active listening skills! Entry events for a project are usually a great place to start!
Use this sticker as you examine a problem from all angles. Ask questions, observe people, situations, and artifacts. Develop empathy for the problem that people facing the situation are experiencing. Find out what you know and what you need to know. Explore all of it!
Use this sticker as you are discussing and exploring ideas for how to solve a problem. Record these ideas quickly. Ideas may come in the form of graphic organizers, notes, drawings, outlines, or video blogs. Remember to seek feedback before progressing to the next step (then use the Evaluation/Modification sticker).
Use this sticker as you share your more formal ideas--3-d prototypes, mock-ups, drafts, skits, simulations, and storyboards. Remember to seek feedback before progressing to the next step (then use the Evaluation/Modification sticker).
Use this sticker when you are evaluating your decisions at each step in the process. When you note a user’s feedback also note what you intend to do about it going forward.
Use this sticker to explain how you are trying your prototype with real users. Try it out and note the way it performs and is understood by a real audience. Explain methodology and note observations.
Today, for our experiment, we had to gather soot from burning a spoon. Then, we used to soot to make ink to paint with.
Today in ELA we planned our movie presentations. We also completed a self reflection on the project and completed a green screen tutorial. Finally, we began editing our short films and making any needed changes.
Today in ELA we worked more on our short films. Unfortunately, my group was not able to record today because one of our group members was absent for majority of the class period.
Mandalas come from India, they are mainly used for art, meditation, healing and visualization. I think mandalas show up in different world civilizations because they have so many different uses like the ones I listed before. Some principles of design that are clear within mandalas are repetition, pattern, and rhythm .
Today for our project in literature, we began recording our short film. We were able to get a feel for how our character's should be and act, and we also began getting comfortable with acting in front of the camera as well as our other group members.
Today in ELA a group named Dad's Garage visited our class. We played many acting games to prepare filming for our movies. First we played a game called zip zap zop which involved quick thinking and also required everyone's full attention because you never knew who would get picked next.
Today in class we did our table revisions with group 2. During the table read we read our scripts as did group 2 and we made revisions and gave group 2 criticism on what we did and didn't like. Finally, we filled and turned in a form on Google Classroom.
Today in literature, we continued writing our play scripts with our groups. In my group, we were able to finish scene 2 right at the climax.
We began writing or scripts for our short films base off of an ancient civilization. In order to understand all of the elements needed for a good script, we were assigned an edpuzzle. Once we finished the edpuzzle we began discussing ideas for our script with our groups.
We were assigned to research a specific ancient civilization and find information about how they lived, what they invented, and different qualities in their society. After this, we related it to present day and began brainstorming for our play that we are going to write.
In this assignment we were supposed to experiment with different textures and patterns by making our own, as well as identifying patterns used by Vincent Van Gogh. Then after that we had to use the same patterns and textures by Van Gogh and try to recreate one of his pieces.
On the Experimenting with Shapes to create Movement, you will create 3 dynamic compositions on 3 slides on Google slides. Each slide should use at least 3 lines demonstrating movement, and include at least 3 shapes. One shape/picture must be in a focal area using the Rule of Thirds. Each slide should rearrange the SAME elements, do not change the lines/shapes from slide to slide.
This is a way of making art like a scientific experiment by giving instructions as if it were a science experiment. Another way that this is like a scientific experiment is receiving many different outcomes. You can also receive many different outcomes from a scientific experiment. This art can also be like a science experiment because you can analyze all of the answers that different people gave you. You can compare the data and see what people did differently.
To me, art is an experience or visual object that an artist created by expressing their imagination or skill. Art can usually be anything that is viewed in the right space, for example, beakers in science with colorful chemicals may not be viewed as art in the average classroom, but it can be viewed differently in the right setting. History may also be a form of art because of the pictures shown of people at war or historic legends that have been photographed. Further more, I believe that anything that has been given a genuine meaning or true imagination by the creator can be art. New and original ideas surrounding art are interesting to see in museums like the bananas taped to the wall in Miami.
