Creating My Voki

          To create my voki I had to make an account and then click on the create button. Next, I pick a character out of the list and choose how I wanted it to look. Then I choose what I wanted it to say. After that I saved it and made it large then copied and pasted the voki on to the website for my art class.

          Your voki can say anything you want it to say. It say something for a presentation or it can tell about your life. Voki can be used to introduce people to your website. I like voki because it is easy to use and can help you tell about yourself without having to write. That’s how to create a voki for your website or presentation and what it can do.

My Color Wheel

The use of a color wheel is to help you see what the primary and secondary colors are. It can also help if you don’t a have a color for your artwork you could look at the color wheel and see what two colors make that color you need. Artist can make all the colors of the rainbow by mixing the primary colors together.

          Artist can use a color wheel to make their paintings more colorful and it can affect their artwork by making their paintings prettier. Artist Henri Matisse liked to use color because he thought that color makes it light not physical appearance.

David Hockney

          There once was a girl named Katherine and she was loved by almost everyone. The reason is because she always smiled and wanted to cheer people up. She smiled when mad, or angry, or even sad because she always found a reason to smile. Katherine didn’t have that many friends because some people didn’t like how she was always happy but that didn’t affect her. She did have a best friend that was always there for her and her name was Angel. Angel was one reason Katherine smiled and laughed because Angel always had something funny to say. That is Katherine’s story and a little about Angel.

Tagxedo

          This artwork is created by taking a picture of you in front of a white board or any white wall. Then you go to http://www.tagxedo.com and click create. After you click create you click shape and then add image. Then you can adjust the threshold and blur until you like it and click accept. After that you click loud and type in words to describe you then save it. That is how you create the artwork.

          I choose words that I would use to describe me. Some words I used are crazy, smart, funny, caring, kind, friend, and musical. The word musical represents me because I like to sing and play piano. The word caring represents me because I care about all everyone. The word funny represents me because I like to make people laugh and my family always tells me I’m funny. The word smart represents me because I make good grades in school and I try to keep the good grade. The word kind and friend represent me because I like to be a friend and kind to people. The word crazy represents me because I am hyper and say some weird things sometimes. That is why I choose some of those words.

          It is used as an expressive portrait because it is a picture of you but made out of words to describe you. I think it is a more true representation of who you are than a traditional photograph because a traditional photograph just shows you but an expressive photograph shows the words that describe you.

Graffiti Wall

                        Graffiti is art that people draw on a wall. Graffiti sometimes expresses how a person feels or something that means a lot to them. People also use graffiti just for fun. Sometimes graffiti can be bad and dangerous like people could use graffiti and make a threat or damage property with graffiti. That is probably why graffiti is illegal.

            I created my digital graffiti wall on http://postergen.com/graffiti-creator. I went to postergen and typed my name in the box and then choose all the colors I wanted and made the back ground white then I clicked generate. After that I chose six words to describe me and then did the same thing I did with my name. When I was done with that I saved the pictures and then cropped the bottom off all of them. I choose a brick background from my teacher and then made a power point and added the background and all my words along with my name. I made my name stand out and that is how I created my digital graffiti wall.

            The words I choose described me and what I think of myself as. I choose the words musical, smart, sweet, weird, friendly, and crazy. I choose these words because I think I am weird and crazy in a good way. I also think am smart because I make good grades and try my best. Friendly and sweet describe my because I like to be nice to people and be a friend. Other people might use different words to describe me but I would use those. That’s why I choose those words to describe me.

 

 

Food Face

            Acrimboldo was a male artist. He created art in the 1500s and he painted small objects to make large faces. He wanted to add decoration but still make it look life-like too. That is why he made paintings of faces out of things like flowers, food, animals, insects, and many more. I know one of his paintings upside own just looked like a bowl of vegetables but when you turned it then other way it was a face.

            The food items I used to make my art work where watermelon, grapes, eggs, blueberries, strawberry, ice cream cone, lettuce, cherries, banana, carrot, orange, a bow noodle and a heart shape cookie. I choose these food items because I thought when I put them together they look like a face. The watermelon was the head and the lettuce and grapes where the hair. The eggs and blueberries were for the eyes and the banana for the mouth. The carrot was for the nose and the orange was for the ears. The cherries where for the cheeks. The noodle was for a bow and so was the heart shaped cookie. The strawberry and the ice cream cone was for the body. When you but all of them together they make a face. That’s how created my food face and a little about Acrimboldo.

 

Social Media President

Hey my name is William McKinley. I was born on January 29, 1884 in Niles, Ohio and grew up in a small town. I was the seventh out of eight kids. My mother was a very religious person and she taught me the value of prayer and about courtesy and honesty. I love outdoor activities like fishing, horseback riding, ice skating, and swimming.  

            I served in the U.S congress and I was the governor of Ohio before I ran for president. As a longtime champion of protective tariffs and a Republican. I ran on a platform of promoting American prosperity and won by a landslide against Jennings Bryan and became the 25th president.

            As president I led the nation into war with Spain over the issue pf Cuban independence. I also opened the doors for the United States to play an increasingly active role in world affairs. That is how I became president, my life before it, and my life as a president.

I don’t think that you should take time out of learning to show school spirit. The reason I think this is because you need that time to learn and you don’t have to take time out to show school spirit. There are many are many ways you can show school spirit without taking time out of your learning. Some ways you can show school spirit are wear your school colors or go to some of the games at your school.

            You can show school spirit by doing fundraisers for the school or having some pep rallies. Those things don’t take time out of your learning and if they do they don’t take much of it. School Spirit is showing that you love your school, so you can make stuff for your school or wears stuff that relates to your school.

            That is why I think you don’t have to take time out of learning to show school spirit. You don’t need any extra time to show school spirit because you can just wear school colors and that is not taking any time. Showing school spirit is important but not that important to take time out of your instruction.
