Av comm is one of my favorite classes because of what and how Mr.Leyva teaches it. She always makes it fun. We mostly have been uses photoshop and we had got to use DSLR camera, which I have fell in love with and want to do way more of! (Sadly I don't think they offer something for it in 8th ;-;)
Mrs.Leyva wanted us to show that we know how layers worked so we had to make a burger and a taco with at least 10 named layers. I will not show my taco as I spent all my time on my burger so the taco does not look good.
Mrs.Leyva wanted us to make text look different things like paint or a neon sign. We did this using the blender setting in photoshop. We had to also use clipping mask and solid color layer. I didn't much like it cause of the Neon effect.
Mrs.Leyva was out that day so she put a lesson on color theory that was easy to follow. We had to put 2 colors that we liked but we had to have a reason for why we picked them.
For this project we had to work with a partner, I picked Sofia (Go look at what she did for me!) We then had to ask about 5 things they liked, 5 images that represent them, a title, and 5 sentences that show them. This was something I really liked to do. Me and Sofia had a fun time making these as we got to learn more about each other and had a fun time joking around.😁
Listen I know the name is weird and I don't like it but Mrs.Leyva thought it was funny. Mrs.Leyva likes to like us to something funny when she has a sub and as you can tell this was one of those times. We had to make a teacher "sigma". The teacher I chose was Mr.Lovett and I might be banned from taking his class next year. Oops 😓
I've started to love Genshin Impact so when we had this to do when she was gone I was so happy. Mrs.Leyva was here so I had asked her if we can just do a halloween costume and such she had said yes I made him a primogem. I had emailed Mr.Lovett the last thing I had made of him and he had sent it to the DATA teacher page and so I had to email this to him LOL.😭
For this we had to pick a picture of us and make it look like vector art. We had to go through a lot of settings in order. We had to do 3 colors, 3 images, and 1 4 panel one. Sorry I dont really have a lot to say for this one. 😅
I don't know why but we did and we had to get the cat outside of its background and there figure out how to get the pumpkin to have the fangs from the other cat photo. I did like how fun this was but thought it was pretty easy.
I made while thinking about all the times people thought i scared them and said they see me in their sleep. I made the face be a deep red by uses the blending screen. I really liked doing this because I love horror things so I thought this would be really fun.
We had this project where we had to make a truck with a business that we would run. I didn't really like this project but a grade is a grade I guess. We also had to make a slide that then had to be shown to the class. Our teacher made it so if you showed up to this event you would get a 100. She also had us make a we are hiring sign.
We had to make a chibi character in this outfit, 1 pumpkin, and 1 turkey. I had ask if I could make the face look like the character Dottore from genshin. She said that it was all good. so I got a bunch of images to look at and looked at his 3d model on sketchfab. I didn't really love this but it was fun. We had to use the pen tool and the shape finder. The shape finder was a little confusing for me so I mostly use the pen tool.
For this we had to make 2 shoes and we use a temple to make it look real. (Cause we aren't that good yet.) She said we had to make 2 different ones so I made them based on Kaeya and Dliuc from Genshin Impact. We had to have 1 gradient. I liked this but all we really did was color it with the paint bucket tool, it's not like it was hard.
We had gotten into our fashion unit and had to create an sketch or outline for a outfit we would like to create. We had to make 2 but she gave mercy on me since I had missed school as I got sick. I actully really liked this project.
For valentine's day she had us make a letter with a pun. I didnt hate this but we've done better. I thought the butter would be funny because I had a habit to eat butter when I was little and even had eaten a whole stick once.
We had learned what different types of photos and learned what buttons on the DSLR camera did what. She then did a stupid thing and LET US RUN AROUND THE SCHOOL >:D We had to find 6 types of photos. (Bird's eye view, worm's eye view, rule of 3rds, macro, farming, and over the shoulder. Also I will not go over them look them up if you want to know, i'm too lazy) We were put into groups of 2-3 but Sofia was not there the day we were so she joined me, Lily K, and Anna. We also had to take our own photos so we had a better idea of the shots. Sense we each have different photos you should go check them out! The links are on their names.
For this we had to take 5 types of photos and then edit them in LightRoom. We also had to make a sideshow with them and say how to get them and how tell if you have them. The person in this photo is Sofia Wilmot. You should really check out her work.
We had to interview a staff member and ask them some questions. We then had to take a photo and make a poster with a quote. We had to ask them if they had troubles with being Hispanic and how was they life with being Hispanic. I thought might as add her story cause we ask about it.
(The first photo is unedited and the second one is edited.)
Sodapop came to our school last year and we had to edit the photos that they took of him and then make him a thank you note.
We had a public speaker and she talked about her life as a photographer. She also talk about things show has used to take photos. She talk about the way you want to let the cilet relax. We made a thank you card for her for coming out to teach us about photography.
