Winter exhibition.

…

So we finished our projects and held an exhibition to show off what we made. The grade 8s made what they called “Pandora’s box”. The obviously better grade (grade 9s) made videos of a theme and how it relates to James Camerons “Avatar”. My theme was religion and beliefs so i made a video about different religions and the Na’Vi’s religion.
(Oh yeah here’s the video if you’re curious vvv)

The exhibition was super fun! Our engaging activity was face painting so we took shifts painting peoples faces. Some of the grade 12s liked the designs i did so they kept asking for me to paint them. Some of the face paint examples (people could mix and match)
Of course Whats a blog post without the reflecting… the ways I probably could have improved during the exhibition were being at my station longer than the face paint station. I also could have been more productive with making my video since I waited till the rough draft due date to start editing and filming b-roll. I definitely could have done a better job on answering how avatar is connected to some real life themes. Overall I think I did okay on this project but theres lots of room for improvement thats for sure.

Here’s some other photos I could find of the exhibition:

A mountain banshee I made

The snacks of course

I drew the mountain banshees too

My friends 🙂

That’s it for this post, my next post is most likely my mPOL. Until next time, bye bye!

A few weeks ago PLP 8 and 9 went on a field trip to loon lake in maple ridge. We were told to fill out a journal every day to reflect on the trip with what we did and then to add it too an eBook.

some things I didn’t add in the journal:
Naomi getting possessed on the ritual bed
Strangely coloured lemonade
Weird looking knight chess piece
Breakfast day 2
Vibrant tree branch

Overall I think the loon lake learning advance was really fun and I really liked it there, even though it was hard to communicate to people that didn’t go with us and I didn’t exactly get to sleep in the same room as the people I wanted, I still found it really fun and I learnt a lot (and worked on DI). I definitely hope I go on more PLP trips in the future

Hello! today i’ll be going over the second part to my last post, Carr. This time I was in herzog. In herzog we learnt how to take better photos and how to use filters to our advantage.

For the first assignment we took a photo of patterns and an object. After we took a photo of the object we went into markup and drew a face and arms on the object to make it look like a living thing. I chose my tangled headphones for the object

The second photo we had to recreate an old photo of ourselves. This assignment I handed in really late and I didn’t like how it turned out anyways.

For the 3rd assignment we had to make a photo that gave off an emotion. The emotions were given out randomly and I was given tense. Whats more tense than a test you didnt study for? While making the test I learnt how to use filters and lighting to portray certain emotions.

Next we made name collages, I made a page about it! cool name thing

Then the last assignment we did we made a GIF for a reaction. I got inspiration from my friend and I made a surprised reaction with them. We made the GIFs on keynote, which I didn’t even know was possible.

If I had a choice to redo the project for a better grade I would probably take that offer but if I was offered for fun I wouldn’t take it. So to go in depth about that, I didn’t t have much fun doing this project and I think I got a pretty bad grade because of that.

Until next time, buh-bye!!

Hello! In this post I’ll be explaining what I just learned about drawing in maker class.

So we were all gathered into separate rooms (Carr and Herzog). In Carr we learnt how to use pressure by drawing our names 

For the second assignment we learnt how to make a sketch note and how to make them make sense. It taught me how to put my ideas into a sketch and visualize my ideas.

The third lesson was sketching a mug or any still object and so I used an empty can as my object. We also made a 3D robot and got to colour it using colours that represent certain emotions. It taught me how to use a reference image and how to shade 3d objects

The fourth lesson I learned was how to make 3D objects and landscapes. The landscape I chose was the view from my grandmas deck. This taught me more about how to use the watercolour brush and how to make layers transparent than the whole landscape part of it.

The fifth and final drawing we made was making a company and drawing our logo for it, for my company i made a candy company that specializes in fake fruit flavour. I named it fruity friends because the target audience is mostly children and younger people. My idea behind the company was really simple, I was craving a lollipop that you can get from dollar stores since I haven’t had one of those since I was a kid. it taught me how to use the fill tool and other tools in the app like the ruler and spray paint

if I had to do something like this with drawing and learning new ways to draw I would definitely want to. Since there were two groups doing a different project, our groups switched so now im in the other group named Herzog! in Herzog we learn how to take better photos so as soon as im finished all 5 lessons in herzog ill make another post.

until next time, buh-bye!!
