MLK gun violence
Me and my family talked about how the laws changed. If you bought guns in gun shows you didn’t need a back round check, but now you do need one. It is the same with some other types of things like gun shows. The 4th amendment says that you have the right to bare arms because people thought you should be able to protect themselves. Some people don’t use them just for hunting or to protect themselves.
Some dangerous guns like machine guns you don’t need for hunting or to protect yourself. People say that they are aloud to carry around dangerous guns like machine guns because of the 4th amendment. But you do not actually need dangerous guns for other things but people have them anyway. I think that the new laws are good but some people think that the government is trying to take guns away from them. That is what me and my family talked about.
My texture paper collage
This is my texture paper collage. We started by picking a color scheme. You can choose secondary, primary or analogous. then we made six different texture papers. We made different textures like smooth, bumpy, swirly, fluffy. Then we drew still lives of everyday objects like a stuffed animal, a vase, and a bouncy ball. Then we cut up our texture papers and put them on our pictures. It made an awesome collage! I learned what an analogous color scheme is, it is three colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. I think that I did my best work!
Zoetrope
This is my Zoetrope. It is an animation where you draw a bunch of little pictures.You spin it really fast and it makes the animation. It spins in a cylinder that has holes in it so when look through the holes, and the cylinder is spinning it looks like a animation. I learned useful ways to fill in the space, like drawing little circles. I think this is an example of my best work, I worked really hard on it.
