Quick Write: Scariest Sounds Ever

My mother when she gets mad. A thunderstorm.

Quick Write: My Room

My room is my place to escape from the world and be myself. My room is where i can get away from stress, pain,  and sorrow to finally be happy. I like the way i have everything organized. I like how i can  create and make it what ever i want and express myself. My room is a great music and good homework and create a new world that i am wanting to live in.

Quick Write: Dealing with Stress

Stress is everywhere, everyday, all day and sometimes you just have to go around it. I use music to escape my problems. I say do something you love to escape the real world and just be you. Stress is hard to deal with and sometimes we want to give up and quite but we have to remember that after every storm comes a rainbow. The opposite of dark days is light days. You just have to find a way to make peace with it and not let it affect you.

Happy Halloween

My ideal Halloween is going to the house torment, going with my family to trick or treat, chill with my friends and go crazy, party, scary movies, being ratchet, shopping, etc.

Mural Project

1. I would want the mural to talk about the schools history and the future. It should be on the success of the student and all the extra activities the students do. It should talk about the world and all of society. It should also be something that when someone sees they have to stop and think and inspires them deep down.

2. The theme is worth devoting time and everything for to make a better change for society

3. It does great picture but does not capture the real thing

4. Same with a regular camera

5. I think both because you can capture both

Nick Brandt Information

A. Born in 1966 and raised in London, England, Brandt studied Painting, and then Film at Saint Martin's School of Art.He moved to the United States in 1992 and directed many award-winning music videos for the likes of Michael Jackson (Earth Song, Stranger in Moscow). 
B. In 2000, Brandt embarked upon his ambitious photographic project: a trilogy of books to memorialize the vanishing natural grandeur of East Africa. His photography bears little relation to the colour documentary-style wildlife photography that is the norm. He photographs on medium-format black and white film without telephoto or zoom lenses. (He uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses.)
C. His work is a combination of epic panoramas of animals within dramatic landscapes (for example, Hippos on the Mara River, Masai Mara, 2006; Cheetah & Cubs Lying on Rock, Serengeti 2007), and graphic portraits more akin to studio portraiture of human subjects from the early 20th Century, as if these animals were already long dead (Elephant Drinking, Amboseli, 2007)
D. Brandt does not use telephoto lenses because he believes that being close to the animals make a huge difference in his ability to reveal their personality. He writes: "You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close."
E. As American photography critic Vicki Goldberg writes: "Many pictures convey a rare sense of intimacy, as if Brandt knew the animals, had invited them to sit for his camera, and had a prime portraitist's intuition of character...as elegant as any arranged by Arnold Newman for his human high achievers". Photographs like (Cheetah & Cubs, Masai Mara, 2003; Lion Before Storm – Sitting Profile, Masai Mara 2006) are good examples of this.
F. In his afterword in On This Earth, Brandt explains the reasons for the methods he uses:
G. I'm not interested in creating work that is simply documentary or filled with action and drama, which has been the norm in the photography of animals in the wild. What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of Being. In the state of Being before they are no longer are. Before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist. This world is under terrible threat, all of it caused by us. To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera. The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes.

My reaction to these photos were that they were amazing and really show the animals in their natural habitat.

This picture really inspires me because the wind through the lions hair and him just chilling and just everything really makes me think

Elements of art and Principles of Design part 2

Balance is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art.  There are three different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. The human figure is symmetrically balanced; the same on the left and right side. The tree is asymmetrically balanced; its branches are not distributed equally on each side, but their total weight is balanced left and right. The sun is an example of radial balance; all its rays are equal in length from the center.

Contrast is created by using elements that conflict with one another. Often, contrast is created using complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. Contrast creates interest in a piece and often draws the eye to certain areas. It is used to make a painting look interesting.

Emphasis in the focal area of an artwork gives it importance.  An artist may stress some elements of the design over others. The eye of the viewer will focus on the area of emphasis or center of interest first, then take in the rest of the composition.

 Movement in an artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area.  Movement is a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and position.  Directional movement can be created with a value pattern. It is with the placement of dark and light areas that you can move your attention through the format.

Patterns are made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.  Pattern uses the elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of paintings or sculptures.

Rhythm is the repetition of shapes, lines, and forms.  Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly.  Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.

Unity means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony.  Unity brings together a composition with similar units.  For example, if your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in even one geometric shape.

Elements of Art and Principles of Design in Photography

Lines are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.

Shapes are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.

Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.

Value, or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between.  Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.

Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.

Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless.  Texture refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.

 Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or  negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

Quick Write ( What do we follow??)

I follow twitter, instagram, Facebook,

This 6 weeks

This 6 weeks i would like to take more pictures and become a better photographer with my photo. I also would like the teacher to bring food and candy and drinks because being the last period in the day we children get hungry.

Selfie Quick Write

I like this photo because it shows that even though the little girl was suppose to be praying she was taking a picture of herself. This shows rule of thirds, colors, lines, and she is outside the box.

Academics and Community Service

I like this photo because is shows young minds learning something new and an amazing science reaction. This picture shows lines, rule of thirds, geometric shapes, etc.

Academics Shoot Preview

I think this photo is the best story for action because it shows science and emotions and a pretty amazing explosion.

I think this photo is the best story over all because it is showing people that care for the earth and want to help keep it clean. Donating their time to give a little love to mother earth.

This story is the best for emotions because it is showing people donate time to others in need and they are really helping them and making a difference in their lives

I think this story shows lots or interesting things with tools and science. Creating something inspiring

















I am planning to go to Ms. Morrel, Fayad, and other inspiring teachers that make a huge difference in the school and to students
