My favorite project this year was the grid drawing project. It was my favorite because I had a lot of fun doing it and experimenting. I worked really hard and it was a lot of fun.

My Poems
Baseball
Amazin’ Mets
Winning, Demolishing, Winning
LET’S GO METS
Champions
The forest is hushed
The wind is howling in the distance
In the eye of a storm
The snow is falling
The ice crusts over the ground
Creating a blanket
Cold to the touch
Here are three poems that I wrote. For the first one, I was inspired by the Mets. For the second and third poems I was inspired by Morocco. The first poem is a Cinquain, my second poem is a Haiku and my third poem is a short poem. If you didn’t know, a Cinquain is a poem with five lines, the format that I decided to use was based off word count. Here is the words per line breakdown; 1, 2, 3, 2, 1. The Haiku is based on syllable count. Haiku’s have three lines. The syllable count per line goes like this; 5, 7, 5. In the last two poems, you can see that I have used similes and metaphors. I really liked how all of these poems turned out. I am proud of them because I have used more descriptive language in these poems compared to what I normally write.
Fez On A Map
When I started this project, I made a grid drawing of Fez. I had a picture of him and I tried to make a hand drawn copy of it. After doing that, I transferred that drawing onto the map, making the project you see here. Something that I learned while creating the project was that it is VERY hard to draw a dog. My favorite part of my project is the shading. I like how it is dark on the left, but lighter as you go right. If I could change something about this project, I would change how much time we have because I think that I could’ve added some more to the project. It was really fun to draw Fez because when I started, he wasn’t here, and when I ended he was. It really changed my perspective when drawing him.
