Art Value Chart

In art, we are making a value chart. We have to use four techniques; shading, hatching, stippling, and then we get to use whatever shape we want. Also, we have to do one of each things in a different drawing pencil- they vary from light to dark. 2H, H, HB, 2B, 4B,  and 6B. In this picture, I am in the middle of shading in 4B.

D. Lab Websites

It was fun making the websites because I learned what some codes in html mean. A hard thing about it was that I missed one class where we learned how to put an image in, but thanks to Clair and some classmates I figured it out. I hope next years class will get to do it because we had a lot of fun so they would have fun too.

4 Things I Hate About Manhattan/NYC

4 things I hate about Manhattan/NYC are:

  1. No backyard-I’d like to have my own backyard with enough space for a garden and a lot of open area.
  2. Traffic-Sometimess you need to get somewhere and if you don’t something in your life (that’s big) will change. Maybe builders can make elevated roads.
  3. Dirtyness-NYC’s so dirty that I won’t touch handrails even if I’m hurt.
  4. Rudeness-Some people in the city are so rude. Some shove and some don’t know the rules and are disrespectful.

Design

I’m designing a multi-purpose sports helmet that has mirrors and an antenna to listen to music. The sports it can be used for are: football, skateboarding, skiing/snowboarding, hockey, baseball, lacrosse, biking, and scootering. It’s in the shape of whatever sport your using it for. If it’s a winter sport like skiing/snowboarding and hockey, it has a little attachment on the inside for warmth. Inside the helmet there are speakers and buttons on the outside for adjusting. For football, it has a little attachment for the face mask. You get the idea. The mirrors are sticking out of the sides on the helmet, sort of like side mirrors on a car. It has two reflectors on the back and an antenna to listen to music. It has a brim to block the sun. It solves the problem of getting hurt because you can’t see behind you. One thing that might not be the best is that in a sport like football, you have to be aware of what’s happening. Here’s some pictures:

2 Finalists

Over all, I liked planner #10. Here’s stuff I like about planner 10:

  • It is black and white, so it doesn’t get the reader distracted
  • It has if it’s completed

Things I don’t like about it are:

  • It doesn’t have a due date
  • The boxes are a little small

Things I like about planner 5 is:

  • It has funny names for example: Wednesday=humpday

Things I don’t like about it are:

  • It has a lot of colors and it’s hard to focus
  • It has a lot of crazy pictures above
  • It doesn’t have a due date
  • There are little boxes everywhere
  • It doesn’t have a place to cheek off

Blog Post

This summer I went to Fire Island and I went to beach a lot. One thing is that there are not a lot of people, at least not the town I go to, so I’m allowed to go around town by myself. I did all the grocery shopping (and trust me there was a lot). That earned me quite a few bucks, so then I went shopping , and sometimes I would even take my brother.
