A color wheel is a good way to find out what hue of a color you want to use. If you were wanting to draw a frog you would probably use green right? Many frogs are not a pure green many are lighter or darker or even a totally different color. If you are using a color wheel you can choose the color that you like. Many artists use the color wheel in the same way. Pablo Picasso used the color wheel in his painting the scream. He used many blues, oranges, and browns to bring texture to the painting. If you name any earlier artists you will find that they all used the color wheel in at least one way.
I thought that this year would be different. I was wrong. It was August 31, 2020. School had started a few weeks late because of an unexpected storm that had ripped out buildings larger than redwoods. Walking to lunch, I noticed that everyone had their friends and was already gossiping about the storm. I was new here and never expected that everyone knew each other. I hadn’t been able to find a table to sit at, so I decided to sit at a bench. Today had gone well so far, but this time I felt lonelier than usual. I reckoned that I would have another ordinary school year. Until he came along….
He was tall,sorta buff, and instead of having a lunch tray in his hands he had a book.At first glance I thought he was a jock or mabye a really tough nerd .then he took the seat next to me and started humming the national anthem. I could tell he was nervous but i didn't want to say anything.we sat there in silence for a while until he asked me a question."Sooooo,Are you new here"he said."Ya,i moved here a month ago,"I replied. through lunch i had learned that his name was Tyler Lark,he was never a jock, hates books, an moved here a week before me."What do you have for next period,"Tyler asked."algebra 1"I replied.then he said shocked" cool i do too." when i was about to replied the bell rung.then he jump up and said "see you in next period"and ran up stairs.
in algebra i got the weirdest group known to man(I may be exaggerating just a little ). in my group their was a dude who wouldn't stop picking his nose,the bluffest person in school(its a girl), and Tyler.through the whole class i couldn't stop thinking how weird it is that Tyler moved here a week before me. before i could finish my thought the teacher called my name and i jumped out of my chair and on the floor. Tyler helped me up but i was pretty sure he was trying not to laugh ."you ok"Tyler asked."i'm fine just a bit bumped up"i replied.all of a sudden the bell rung and everyone left."you ready"Tyler said."ya lets go'i said with a smile
This is a tagxedo project. It is supposed to tell the person on your website about you by using many words that describe you. I went to tagxedo.com and pressed the “Load” button. I clicked the “Add Image” button and was then able to pick a picture of myself. You can fade out some of the darker lines and make some of the lines bolder. I typed in the words that described me. I chose my favorite colors for the words and saved my work.
I chose the word “Dreamer,” because I sometimes stare off into space and create a fantasyland in my head. I chose “Smart” because I’ve been told I’m good at math. “Creative” describes me because I can take any material and turn it into something new. “Musical” describes me because I love to sing and play percussion.
My picture is an expressive portrait because you can tell more about the character of the person instead of just seeing their outer appearance. I believe that it is a better representation than a photograph because you are able to tell more about me.
