My flower fits into Cubism because it's broken down into different shapes and colors. Instead of showing a realistic version, the flower is abstracted, with its petals and stem turned into geometric forms from different angles. The use of bold shapes and colors adds a sense of depth and movement, even though it's on a flat surface. By showing the flower from multiple perspectives, the image captures a deeper, more dynamic feeling of the flower, which is exactly what Cubism does with everyday subjects.

 Augusta Savage’s sculptures were mostly made from plaster, and clay, and are full of emotion and meaning. One of her most famous works, The Harp was inspired by the song "Lift Every Voice and Sing". It represents a group of Black figures forming the shape of a harp, with a young boy at the front. The tall, skinny figures resemble harp strings, showing a connection between music and togetherness. Augusta Savage’s attention to detail and smooth, clean lines make the sculpture look more realistic and can be seen as symbolic, showing her impressive artistic skill.

Savage’s sculptures send a strong message about Black identity. The Harp to me represents hope and unity, while Gamin another sculptor by Augusta is a sculpture of a young Black boy. Her work can be seen as a way of challenging racist stereotypes, unfortunately, many of her pieces were lost due to financial problems. Even so, her impact on American art is great. Through her sculptures, she gave a voice to the Black everyday life, and her legacy continues to inspire many artists today.

In this project, we watched an edpuzzle on how paper is made. After watching the edpuzzle we watched Dr.Kurt teach us how to make paper using the tools of water, paper, two cloths, a bucket, and a tray. First we choose our colors of paper. Then we cut the paper into small pieces. Next we filled our bucket with 2 pints of water and our blender with 5 cups of water. To continue we added our cut paper and blended until it was liquefied. Fifthly we then poured our cut paper/water into the bucket with water. We then got our tray dipped it in the water but it on our cloth, we made sure there was no water on our try. Finally we peeled it off of our cloth and finished with a thin piece of paper. 

In this assignment, we watched a video on how to paint with ink. After watching the video we were given the tools to create our art. I used the paintbrush to create an abstract image. With the techniques I learned from the video, I was able to distribute the intensity of the ink as well as the color, and shape. This is different from dye painting because it requires more manual labor.

In this lab we created different prints on a cloth. We were given a few rubber bands, a cotton cloth, blue berries or cabbage, baking soda or vinegar, and a stick. On our table there was a pot with water, we used a combination of blueberries + baking soda (IN one pot) and blueberries + vinegar (in another pot). we tied up or cloth added it for 30 secounds in each substance and got our final porduct. (Vineger makes the color lighter while baking soda makes the color darker.)

In this project, my partner and I worked together to showcase the movement of electrons. I chose pink and orange, and she chose blue and green. The weaving shows the transfer of electrons. This specific image showcases an Ionic bound. This bond is shown by using different colors of weaved paper.

I combined STEAm subjects in this project by combining elements from both subjects to create an overall assignment. For example, I combined an element from the periodic table and added art elements to it that connect with the element. I learned about Selenium which was my chosen element. I was creative by using items that contain my element as the artwork writing selenium at the top of my artwork and adding the items. Imagine lines that make it look like 2d with selenium written at the top and Se writing in the middle of the box then imagine items like mushrooms in the bottom right corner and vitamins in the upper right corner. I used balance and repetition as my elements of art which made my work look smoother and clean. I think it looks great.

In this google doc assignment, we each chose a topic and wrote about it and how it specifically related to our ancient time (Egypt). I did the Achievements of Ancient Egypt and how they have impacted every day lives in our current time. 

In this document, we created a contract for a group project in which we must create a short film on an ancient civilization. We inserted group norms to which we will all hold each other accountable during this project work time.

Today 9/24/24 we recorded some of our script. we went out to the field and got dressed in our gear. Then we filmed and came back to class. We filmed some of act 4.

Today we filmed act 2 of our film and started scene 3 of our film

For this assignment I had to create a flyer about our new PBL showcase. I added the time, date, location, and theme. I enjoyed creating this flyer and tried to make sure it connected to every ancient civilization we have learned about 

The Mandala is used in many ways, including meditation, spiritual guidance, and establishing sacred space and artwork. Mandalas are a type of geometric art used by many cultures throughout history to represent the universe and our place in it (Hinduism, Buddhism, and Mesoamerica) The principles of design in mandalas include balance, unity, and contrast.  To depict an atom using a mandala, you would create a circular design with a central point representing the nucleus, and then use smaller circles or geometric shapes arranged around it to represent the orbiting electrons, with different sizes and colors potentially indicating different electron. 

In this project, we had to show the Chemvas name filled with different objects related to chemistry and art. I learned how to use the paintbrush tool and create different textures for my art background.  My art has a lot of chemistry-related images, including textures, and different shapes. I enjoyed being able to be creative and mess around to see what looked good and what didn't. One thing I didn't enjoy was the platform we used to create this project. I can use what I have learned in the future to create my own abstract art. 

Experiments with Texture and Patterns to Create Value

We had to experiment and create our own color wheels based of themes we choose. Then a partner will try and guess what our theme is.

The Experimenting with Lines assignment was assigned to us to allow us to test out and create our own art work only using lines.  During this assignment we were able to see the different prespectives/represantions classmates had using these lines, thus allowing for a safe free enviorment to express ones prespective.

What does art mean to me and how can it play a role in (science/english/math/history)? Art to me is the creation of something unique and creative that can tell a story or give an opinion.  This can play a huge or small role in school subjects which are every day things learned in school. Whether we know or not, art is in a lot of these.  For example in math we use charts and graphs which are considered a type of art.  Another example is in history, a map can be perceived as a piece of art. 

7/29/24

In this quiz, we watched a video and answered questions based on what we heard in the video. At the end of the video was answered a few more questions as a group to make sure we understood what we watched.  My group members were Langston, Joshiah,  and Crystal.

In this station we did another quiz on topics we may have not already been taught, to see understanding or where each person is on the coming unit. I had a group but worked independently on this project sense it was specifically for understanding of where each individual student stood. 

In this station we did test corrections on our unit 2 test. I had to revize questions and check what question i got write or wrong + why they were write or wrong. This was an independent station but I did have a group for support if ever needed. 

In this station we did 

Objective

Students will be able to:

• Create for loops to repeat code a fixed number of times

• Explain when a for loop would be a useful tool

• Utilize for loops to write programs that would be difficult/impossible without loops
