Today in class we learned about Solar Balloons and their benefits. A solar balloon utilizes solar radiation to warm the air enclosed within, resulting in the balloon's ascent. Constructed from lightweight, often transparent materials, it captures solar energy to generate buoyancy. After learning about them, we created our own. The gas law associated with Solar Balloons is Charles's Law, which states that temperature and volume vary directly when pressure remains constant.

For my project, I made a nuclear container. My element that goes with it is Cesium. It is extremely rare, and costs over a billion dollars for one gram. My inspiration for my project was learning that Cesium was radioactive, so I had to find a way to demonstrate this. The nuclear container was my best idea. I used the Principles of Design by showing movement, proportion, and unity. One thing I found difficult in the project was making the road look smaller to show it was getting further away. One thing I liked about the project was blurring the background and smoke. If I did it again, I would choose an element that has more uses because Cesium is constricted to radioactive implementations.
This is my ChemVas Typography assignment. We used multiple different tools and images to create the word "ChemVas."
My drawing was okay. It neither good nor bad. The thing that was the most difficult was making the items looking smaller as they went further back. I enjoyed making the bathroom doors because they looked good in the end. In relation to my other classes, perspective drawing can relate to my Engineering Concepts class because we do drawing practice using 1-point perspective.
This is the Artist Statement Reflection video that myself and my groupmates made after the Guernica Project.
