I made a Voki that reflected what I’m like and the things I think are cool. When Mrs. Wilson told us to go to Voki and make our character I got excited because I love to make avatars. I had to pick a person, then I had to pick what color I wanted their features. After I got done with that I had to pick out their voice and put what they had to say in the voice box thing. When all those steps were done I uploaded it to this website, so now everyone can enjoy my voki! I think my Voki is very unique and very fun.
You can use the colors in the color wheel to make amazing pieces of artwork. Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel usually match, they can create serene and comfortable designs. Warm colors on the color wheel tend to make you think about heat and sunlight. Cool colors on the color wheel can give an expression of calm and create soothing artwork. These are just a few basic things you could use on the color wheel to make beautiful, amazing artwork, but there is plenty more.
There are many different artist that use the color wheel as inspiration in their art. I have chosen one artist that uses the color wheel, her name is Shirley Williams. Shirley Williams paints contemporary abstract landscapes and acrylic paintings. Unlike most artist instead of working with a palette she loves to explore the entire color wheel. She likes to discover new and cool ways to make different color schemes. People call her the “color expert” she is very inspiring and worth your time to find out more about her.
Jordan was in science class talking to her friends. She heard someone say her name, she looked over her shoulder and acknowledged the person that said her name. The person looked at Jordan and called her a Wombat. Jordan was confused so she looked up “Wombat” on Google. When she finally saw what a wombat was she was offended and called the person a Blob fish. After she had just been called a Wombat she lost confidence in her looks. BUT WAIT… Jordan had a photo shoot in 1 day! How could she ever go looking like a “Wombat”!
Science class had just ended, so Jordan went on to 8th period, but on the way to 8th period she realized she couldn’t show her face in that class now. She quickly hurried in the bathroom and wrapped paper towels around her face so no one would recognize her. She strutted out the bathroom and went on to 8th period. After sitting down for a while Jordan wondered what time it was, but she couldn’t see because all of the paper towels still covered her face. Luckily Jordan was smart enough and poked a peep hole through the paper towels with a pencil. It was almost 3:00 she watched the clock. Finally the bell rung, she jumped up and ran out the school.
Jordan was running so fast she heard Alexis say “RUN JORDAN RUN!” She passed the school district so she just keep on running. She headed straight for Scrub Mountain. On the way she might have ran into a couple poles and trees, but after a couple of minutes Jordan made it too Scrub Mountain. When she arrived to the mountains she took off all the paper towels. Only to discover Shrek was standing right in front of her… She saw his face and he started grinning so she took off running again. She ran into a dark cave. She got lost in the cave and couldn’t see anything.
Finally she saw a great light coming from the back of the cave. She looked over and hesitated she walked very slowly towards the light. When she got closer she gasped… and couldn’t believe her eyes! It was the GREAT AND POWERFUL UNICORN! She was completely amazed by the majestic creature. Then all the sudden the Great Unicorn said “I have been expecting you Jordan”. All the sudden Jordan got worried. The Great Unicorn again spoke and said “You know longer want to look like a Wombat? Come here child.” Jordan slowly made her way towards the unicorn. When she got close enough the Unicorn hit her upside the head with his mighty horn! She blacked out.
When Jordan woke up she was In the middle of a room full of mirrors. She got up and looked at her self. She realized that she had NEVER LOOKED LIKE A WOMBAT! That unicorn had hit her hard with some CONFIDENCE! Jordan was Swagalishious. She left the room full of mirrors and headed straight for Mountain Gap Middle School, in her new 2015 Mustang Convertible that she found on the side of the road. When she arrived in the parking lot, she hopped out of the car and again strutted into the school. She busted the doors open and people stopped and starred. She headed straight for the Art room and found Cheyenne. She looked her straight in the eye and said “I’m ready for that photo shoot”. They headed out into the hallway and Jordan laid on the floor and did the best pose ever! So this is why you should never call someone a Wombat because they can just run to Scrub Mountain and find the Magical Unicorn to hit them with confidence, and then they’ll be more swag then you.
THE END
This is an expressive portrait of me, the words represent my personality. I went to Taxedo.com to create this artwork. I inserted a picture of me and adjusted the picture to how I wanted it. After I fixed my picture I inserted the words I picked to represent my personality. When I was done inserting the words I saved them and then it created my photo.
For this piece of artwork we had to pick 30 words that reflected our personality. The words I think represented me the most were Fun, Funny, Crazy, and Lovable. I picked “Fun” because I like to do different things with people and they always tell me “I’m really fun”. I also picked Funny because I believe I have a great since of humor and I love to make people laugh. The next word I picked was Crazy, and I believe I am pretty crazy because I’m a daredevil and will do pretty much anything you say no matter how dumb it is. Last but not least I think I’m very lovable, but only to the people that like happy and upbeat people.
This assignment was used to be an expressive portrait. I believe it did capture and explain me more than a regular picture. I like how the words wrap around into the shape of my face. Also if you looked at a regular picture of me you couldn’t tell what my personality was just by looking at me. With this portrait though you can see the shape of my face but you can also read the words that describe me. In conclusion I think this assignment was very fun and cool.
Graffiti is “writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place.” To some people it’s more than scribbles, it’s their way of expressive art. Why do people do graffiti? There are many reasons for example, some people might be bored and that’s their way of having fun. Some people might do graffiti illegally, so they can get the feeling of adrenaline rush when they run away from the cops. There are many more reasons, but these are some examples.
In the picture you see a digital graffiti wall. You can make one of these at http://postergen.com/graffiti-creator. When you get to the website, go to the box in the corner and inter any word you like, then it will pop up on the little brick wall. After this you scroll down and pick the font and the color of the font. When you are finished with this save your image to your computer. Then pull up PowerPoint and enter your images and cut the backgrounds off them. After you’re done adjusting your words insert the brick wall background and then you’re done!
I choose these words for my graffiti I believe there the best words to describe my personality. I picked funny because I’m hilarious and I love to make people laugh. I also picked unique because no one is just like me. These are just two words I choose for my wall there are a couple more. In conclusion I choose these words because they are me!
Acrimboldo was a painter during the Renaissance period. He used fruits, vegetables, fish, and trees for his paintings. He wanted his paintings to be more portrait like so he made the food and trees into faces. He used these things in his paintings for humor purposes. Some were serious, and some were not so serious. Acrimboldo was born into a rich family and had been painting since his childhood. He liked using the food paintings and turning them into human forms. Someone noticed his art work and so then he made it into a career.
When I was creating my own “food face” I decided I wanted to use breakfast foods. So I tried to match all the breakfast foods I could think of into a face. I used the hash brown hair, egg eyes, and bacon ears for example. I thought it was really cool how I could blend these elements together to create a face. My favorite part of my “food face” is the butter cheeks. I put these breakfast items together because I thought it would be unique and different.
I believe we should take time out of instruction to do activities to build school spirit. I think we should do this because it helps make the school a better place and better environment. Also I believe it would encourage students to participate in more school activities. One more thing, I believe if the students of a school had a huge amount of school spirt, the school could be greatly noticed and more people would enroll in the school. These are some of the reasons I believe we should take time out of instruction to build school spirit.
If people spent more time on building a better school by improving the attitude, students wouldn’t dread or “hate” school so much. By building the attitude towards a school more people will be happier about their school life, if you make school a positive place. Most schools don’t make a lot of effort to improve the attitude of school, but if we do then we shall expect positive effects. This is also another reason we should build school spirit.
These t-shirts that we made to represent the 50th year of MGMS, is a great example of school spirit. We should do more activities like this. By doing activities or projects for your school it will make the school atmosphere more fun and interesting. Also by building school spirit, you can make your students feel proud about their school. In conclusion we should take time out of instruction to work on school spirit for all the reasons above.
I thought the zentangle project was very fun and cool. It took a little time to create my zentangle though. You have to put a lot of thought into this kind of artwork. First we took a blank sheet of paper and then I was absent but we had to do something to the background. After that Mrs. Wilson gave us a website to look up all the different zentangles, so we could choose some to draw on our paper.
When you start your zentangle you should always have a scrap piece of paper to try out the zentangles before you put them on your final paper. Always when making your zentangle don’t try and leave a lot of spaces in between your zentangles. You want them as close as possible. When I was making my zentangle I was very focused because you have to make sure you draw the lines just right. Also you need to make some of your zentangles dark and some light so they blend together.
When you are finishing up your zentangle examine it and make sure you didn’t make any mistakes. After that if you want to you can trace the lines on your zentangle to make them look darker. When I got done with my zentangle I took a picture of it, and uploaded onto my computer. I took the picture then and loaded it up on an editing website and I edited it to make it look neater. You don’t have to do this I only did this because I am in Graphic Arts and we have to use the computer. After all of this I was pretty content with my edits, so then I uploaded onto my website, as you can see above.
There once was a little dear, his name was Wilfred. Wilfred always wanted to be successful and have the most stuff. He was always mean and he would never get what he wanted. He didn’t understand why he was never successful and why he never could get a job. It was really because Wilfred was really bossy. Wilfred tried and tried to get a job but it was helpless, people just didn’t like him.
One day Wilfred was taking a walk down the field. He stopped and saw an old deer lying on the ground. He heisted and was trying to decide if he should help the old deer. He finally galloped over there and saw what was wrong with the old deer. The old deer had pasted out and was shivering. Wilfred was very concerned and dragged the old deer to an animal hospital. After that Wilfred visited the old deer every day. They became very close. One day Wilfred walked into the animal hospital, but something was wrong the old deer wasn’t in his usual room. Wilfred asked the worker where the old dear was, the worker told Wilfred that the old deer had passed away last night. Wilfred was destroyed and he paid the worker the money for his medical bills and left.
One day after the death of the old deer, Wilfred got a call. It was someone from the animal hospital. They wanted to offer Wilfred a job for all his good deeds and with helping with the old deer. Wilfred was excited he could finally have a job and maybe even be successful. Wilfred started working every day and loved his job, taking care of all the sick animals. He became successful and bought himself the first ever hover board which he fell in love with it.
