The Anza Borrego History Mural was the first mural we had worked on in the middle of the semester. We started it out by finding images from our trip or of ones of native animals online, printing them out, and tracing over them with sharpie to create an outline. Then we went online and made them into digital art by tracing over the sharpie lines and coloring it with a certain pallet. Our pallet was magenta, red-orange, pink, and a purple mix.
It took me a while to finish mine, but I had managed to finish it on time to get it on the board. I hadn't used the best communication while making this, so I strive to try and get better with talking to people about the things I need.
My board for the Geometric mural was probably my favorite part of this semester. Even if it was crammed in at the last few weeks before exhibition, everyone had managed to finish their board and make it all look extortionary. I am proud of my board and also of everyone else's work.
While working on this board, I gained slightly better communication skills and it helped me get better at working with others. Because everyone had their own painting board in this project, if I or people I was working with didn't say anything about what we need to get them to line up, then the mural would've ended up looking bad.
The match card shows the process of me making my part of the mural. It includes the photo taken at the camp, a screenshot of the trace in the application used, the colored version in photoshop, and the annotations of the transformations in the design. It shows all the steps I had to do before getting to actually starting on the mural and explains the images in each of the sections.
This is my Documentary of my classmate Clark's experience with camping at Lake Cuyamaca. The video contains him going backpacking, him filming Wednesday's dinner, and talking about what he thought about his trip.
Making this video was kind of hard, but it was fun at the same time too once I had help. I used a website called Canva to help set the video and audio up, and I used an audio enhancer so There aren't as many disruptions in the video.
This had been incredibly rushed in order to get something in. It is easily not some of my best or good work, and is a good example as to why I need to ask for help and pay better attention in the future.
The Mission Trails Graph was made after we went hiking on Mission Trails' Kwaay Peak Trail. We were supposed to keep track of something about ourselves during the hike; I graphed how many times I had rested during the trip up the mountain. I had rested about 10 times by the end of the hike, which was 2.3 miles or 4,000 meters. I started resting more the higher we had gone up the mountain because of how steep it had been getting, and also because I had accidentally stayed up late the night before.
We were required to add 4 ro more pictures, a starting point, a halfway point, a point for a spike if there was one, and an end point. We were also required to have range and domain, a paragraph on what we were doing on the trip, a piecewise function, and to just make it look nice.
This was something we worked on prior going on a field trip. We made this before we had gone on our field trip to camping at Cuyamaca lake. We were supposed to write one of these then share it around the camp fire at night for an A on this assignment. I didn't get the chance to share it around the campfire because I got sick during the camping trip, so I went home before I had the chance too.
How we set up the story was coming up with two sentence horror stories, then we would go off of that and make it a much bigger product. I wish I could've gotten to share mine, but it wasn't finished and I went home early. So I hope whoever is reading it right now on this website enjoys it. :]
This project was something we did in Physics, after coming back from a field trip in orange county. We had made a prototype structure out of popsicle sticks, cardboard, hot glue, and toothpicks; Then we were told to make a blueprint, then a list of all the objects we would need for our final structure. After we had finished both our blueprint and list of supplies, we started on our structures. Most people had a partner when working on this but I was the only person doing this individually because I forgot my partner, and no one wanted to work with me. Personally I preferred being in a group by myself because it allowed me to do what I envisioned for the structure without anyone getting in the way, while also allowing me to focus easier with less distractions.
For this structure I had used a wood base, dowels, string, power tools to drill holes and cut pieces in half, tooth picks for areas like the ones we would stand on after a section, wood glue, hot glue, popsicle sticks, watercolor paint (because all the other paint was either being used or dry), and some plastic twine stuff. The result to the left of this paragraph is how it turned out. I am very proud of this, and throughout working on it I feel like I had shown good independence by not needing anyone else to help me with it.
My teacher had wanted us to base our calendar more around what we did during our month, rather than mostly drawings.
These are probably my favorite calendars out of all of the ones i've done. I have put so much time and effort into doing them, that they are something I am proud of and wont hesitate to show any one.
This month's calendar theme was to base it around a holiday, so every day I either drew a national holiday or worked on the background.
March's Calendar was country based. I had based my calendar around the native plant life in Ireland. The flowers and Plants on there are, Shamrock, Clover, Easter lily, Primrose, Wildflower Squill, Buttercups, and Fuchsia.
April's Theme was music, and it took me a while to figure out what I was going to do, but I eventually did. What I ended up doing was printing out photos of the music I listened to during the month, and glue it together for one big collage.
