The Epic Elements PBL incorporates all of the subjects into one project. It combines Digital Art with Ancient Civilizations, literature story elements, geometry in animation, and spanish. We are to create an audio-visual children’s book. We have to use stop-motion animation as well. Our whole project is supposed to be about how social injustices are created.
These are some ideas we have for our project. We thought of a couple TV shows and books we could use for inspiration such as the anime Vinland Saga or Berserk. These are about vikings, so maybe we could make our story about vikings. We also thought we should make our story about how racial inequality comes to be. But we are going to have more ideas as we work together for longer.
In world history, one of our projects was to make mud bricks as if we were ancient peoples building structures. We studied ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Rome and Greece.
This is my representation of a water molecule. My idea was that since water is the basis of all life on earth, I decided to make a molecule out of various animals. The principle of design I used was variety because of the multitude of animals I used in my model. I incorporated my tinker CAD model by putting it around the main piece to clarify what it is supposed to look like. The careers that use CAD are ones that produce physical things, like architects or engineers.
Feb 9, 2022 - Columbian exchange cooking assignment
The columbian exchange was an exchange of things, good and bad, between the two hemispheres of the planet. In this project, we were cooking dishes using ingredients that could only be found in one of the hemispheres. My group was in the easern hemisphere. This project helped me understand the columbian exchange as the trading of goods enabled much more variety in life.
