Ceramic Bowl

In my first semester of Junior year I am taking an art class called Intro to Visual Arts. In this class we explore all areas and concepts of art. For one of our projects we looked at ceramics. In this we made a ceramic bowl. We toke a paper template that we cut out and created this bowl. We had the freedom to connect the sides however we wanted as long as it ended up as a bowl. I knew in this project I would be giving it to my mom once it was done. I thought of ways it could resemble me or shows things that would would remind my mom of me. We also chose a pattern to imprint on the outside of our bowl. Once we did that we scored and slipped the edges to combine the sides and make it a bowl. As I did this I thought of quotes or words that I could put inside the bowl. I put the phrase ‘Stay Strong’ and my confirmation verse reference ‘Jeremiah 29:11’.  I chose a matte glaze for the outside of the bowl which you can see is a teal color, also my favorite color. On the inside I tried to find the same color just in a glossy finish. This was probably my favorite project we did just because I like doing ceramics and you get to create something from scratch and make something your own. I also love the glazing part because I love to paint and do those kind of things.

Line Art- Intro to Visual Arts

This year I am in Intro to Visual Arts. For one of our first projects we did a project that involving color, shading, value and many other things. Our projects all were supposed to be inspired by some song we listened to while drawing our initial template. I listened to a song called Chicken Tendies by Clinton Kane. I think these represented my song well because when you hear this title you would think it would be a fun, happy song but in reality it is deep and sad. I think that is kind of how my art is. The colors are upbeat and people would see them as happy colors but there are tear drops and the blues are more of a sad color. The way we made this project was by sketching our small rectangle and making all the shapes we wanted and that we thought connected to the song. After we had that done we made copies of the paper so we now had four. We then switched the direction and order of the photos to make some cool design and we would eventually chose out of the four which we liked the most. After we completed this process we toke a long time and traced our design on to our final paper. We had to chose a color scheme that also went with our songs and fit on of the color schemes on the color wheel. I ended up choosing an analogous color scheme. I really enjoyed this project because I love to color and its fun to have something that you have designed all by yourself and see your whole piece come to life.

Self Portrait

In the first semester of my Junior year I am in an Art class, Intro to Visual Arts. In this class we explore all kinds of art, from ceramics to still life and all that is in between. For our most recent project we did a self portrait using fountain ink pens. The first thing we did for this project was go through books, magazines, hymnals, etc. When we went through these we looked for different words that we could personally express through a facial expression. The word I chose was  ‘Joyful’. Once we had our picture we printed it off in full saturation and all black and white. We then traced two of our pictures onto our hymn page using a light box. With the ink we then inked all the black spots on the page so we could see our facial features and all that was in the picture. One thing we did though was box out our word that was in the black so the word pops in order to connect to the emotion we are expressing in the picture. The hardest thing about this project was to trust the process. There were many times I thought it looked terrible because all I had on the page was one eye. At the end I am very proud of the outcome of this project even though it was very time consuming.

The Orlando Experience

For my last Multi Media project I made a video about my trips to Disney. Disney is one of my families favorite places to go and we try to go every year. In my video I show our most recent trip to Disney and also Universal Studios. I really enjoyed this last project and was by far my favorite project this year. I hope you enjoy the video!

LONDON TIMES
Snake Attack
Reporter Addy Blahauvietz
London Zoo

This week on Wednesday at 12:00pm a traumatic incident happened at the London Zoo. It involved Harry Potter and the Dursley family. Witnesses report Harry spoke to a snake.

Piers celebrated Dudley’s birthday. They went to the zoo. They first went to the reptile exhibit. Like all other kids they liked tapping on the window. The snake ignored all of them.

Everyone thinks the snake is boring. But Harry stayed to watch the snake.

Then, Harry started talking to the snake. He didn’t know why, it just sort of happened.

“All I could hear was hissing from the snake. But I could hear the boy talking. And it looked like they could understand each other, it was kinda weird.” Commented a witness.

All the sudden Piers heard Harry talking to someone. “DUDLEY!! MR.DURSLEY! COME LOOK AT THE SNAKE! YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT IT’S DOING!” Yelled Piers to the Dursley family.

They all came over and started to see what Harry was doing. They wonder if he could actually talk to a snake. Dudley was standing right by the window to marvel at snake when all of the sudden, the glass disappeared.

Dudley was laying on the floor of the snake habitat, traumatized as the snake slithered away. You could hear the building fill with screams as the snake escaped.

Vernon Dursley said to local news reporters “Whenever that boy is with us something goes wrong and it’s always his fault! I told him not to do anything this time.”

In conclusion, we are almost positive that Harry Potter can talk to snakes. We do not have an update on where the snake could be now. According to Harry, the snake is off to Brazil! We all can assume Dudley has some problems now, maybe a phobia of snakes.

My first post on my new website

I’m going to use my website to put my accomplishments. Like sports, school. Maybe even a trip. I’m gong to Turicks and Caicos so I might put that on my website. I think it’s exciting to have a website.

I think I will use this a lot, it can help with future careers, internships, and college. I want a good reputation. People will hopefully see that I’m a good person when they look at my website.

Thank you for visiting my website.
