Graphic Art

First, I went to Voki.com, and clicked start. I then chose the features of the avatar. First, I chose the base for the avatar. Then, I chose what eyes, hair, and lips I wanted. I changed the skin color to a really pale one, the eye color to an icy grey blue, and the hair to a reddish-brown. I then chose the clothes tab and changed my avatar’s clothing. Next, I added a necklace, glasses, and then went to type out the message for what I wanted it to say. I chose the Susan (UK) voice since it could actually pronounce my name. Finally, I clicked a button and it gave me the HTML code to paste into the Yolasite. To get it on the Yolasite, I dragged an HTML widget and pasted the HTML code for the Voki Avatar in.

Color, it’s everywhere. Artist use a wheel to organize color. First, are the Primary Colors, which are the colors you use to mix to get every other color. Those colors are Red, Yellow, and Blue. Next, you have the Secondary Colors. Those are the colors you get from mixing the Primaries. Those colors would be Orange, Violet, and Green. Then you have the Tertiary Colors. Those are from mixing the Secondary Colors with the primaries. Those would be Red-Orange, Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green, Blue-Green, Blue-Violet, and Red-Violet. Artists use those colors in their works by looking at what’s across the wheel. Whatever is on the opposite side is the complimentary color, which means it’s the color you should pair up with the color you’ve selected.

Vincent Van Gough used complimentary colors in a lot of his paintings. For example, in his painting Café Terrance at Night, he uses yellow as the color of the focus point, and blue on the background. The windows are orange as if showing there’s light in darkness. It’s a yellow-orange, and he’s using a deep blue for the background once more. Also, in his painting Starry Night, he uses yellows to accentuate the painting. It’s a deep blue and he looked across the color wheel and saw what color would be best to use.

Click. Click, click. Her keyboard went click as she typed. The story she had to write was about a picture she made. It was of her laying down, legs upon a locker. Her face had a ‘Really?’ look upon it. She had worn her cat jacket, striped shirt, and jeans. Her usual converse were on her in the picture. The picture had ended up being in black and white. She felt as if something had compelled her to make the picture the way she had arranged it. It was kind of like someone had been controlling her. Click, click, click.

She quickly typed on her laptop from the school in Art Class. Her story was at about one paragraph at this point. She moved her curly, long bangs out of her eyes. She dreaded going to Algebra. While the class was fun, it was just the subject. She hated it. Her crystal blue eyes reflected the bright computer screen and she just finished typing one sentence. The sentence was “Her crystal blue eyes reflected the bright computer screen and she just finished typing one sentence. The tall-ish, lanky-ish girl’s laptop had been charging the whole class.

Luckily, it was almost at full battery at this point. She took a glance over at her newly Jessica Rabbit-esque haired friend, Kate. As her friend read the story so far, she pointed out that she was wrong when she said that her hair was “Orange”. So, naturally, she decided to change it to something more descriptive. Finally, she settled on Jessica Rabbit-esque. It was about her hair color, she thought to herself. She had just about finished the second paragraph of her story at this point. She gave a slight sigh, her fingers were starting to hurt. She had slowed her pace at typing like a horse would when it went uphill. She took a glance around the room. It was silent, the art teacher had turned off the music, so everyone became quiet and got to work. She pondered slightly what she’d write for the 3rd paragraph of her story.

At this point, she was even getting confused by her own story. She paused for a moment to rub her eyes. The computer screen had really started to bug her eyes. Her friend diligently worked on her Tagxedo project. Another girl had come to charge her computer not long after. She thought her name was Alexis or something of the sort. She gave another sigh. Writing was rather hard now that she was 3 paragraphs in. She didn’t know what to write. After all, writing a story about a character writing a story who’s writing a story is hard. She gave a large yawn.

She had now resumed writing. Algebra had just finished and she was now in Advanced Art, which was 8th period. “A bit more time to write”, she thought happily. Maybe she could finish the story today. She heard a few girls talking about random things, hearing their conversations, but choosing not to enter. She wasn’t exactly welcomed, but she enjoyed the class nonetheless. Giving a glance, she noticed there was a girl on the table near a girl named Anna who was begging for gum basically. “Middle school”, she rolled her eyes. She glanced at the clock. 2:38 pm.

One of her friend’s in the class, Camri spoke up about the Ex Machima movie. She spoke up about how she wanted to see it. She took one last look at the picture she made. Most of the girls started talking about choir in 6th grade and started saying that the choir dresses sucked. She agreed honestly, but couldn’t sympathize with them being in choir. She had chosen band. A discussion about country music broke out. She laughed slightly when a girl spoke with her. They joked about. It wasn’t as bad as she thought. 8th period art was really fun. She took a look. She had 5 paragraphs now. She finished finally.

Personally, I don't think school spirit is important. School is for learning, not for pointless things such as school spirit. It isn't going to help us in life if all we'd know if how to cheer for a school.
