This project was to find a face on the internet and then draw it. I found a crazy person and then I drew it. It was one of my favorites because I enjoyed drawing the facial parts of the teeth, the mouth, the eyes, eyebrows, etc.. The teeth and eyes were the most expressive and fun to draw because I had to exaggerate them.
This project we had to make an advertisement for our fake store. My advertisement was about selling sport things like clothing, balls etc. I liked this project because it was fun to think about what store I wanted to make and what I wanted to sell in that store. I choose a sports store because sports are my hobby and I spend a lot of time playing them.
This is me playing intramural basketball. I was playing the maroon team and that was me scoring a basket. I really enjoy playing because it is not that competitive and it is with all my friends.
When I played chess, something that I did well was when I was in a sticky situation, which happened a few times, I could get out of it. For example, when I was playing Landon, he was about to win, but I got his rook and then I got him into check. However, I realize now that I was kind of just moving pieces just to move pieces, and I sometimes just got lucky. Something that I could work on is having more specific strategies. It is important to have strategies because if your opponent does something, then you have to know exactly what you want to do, and not just for that turn, but you have to think ahead about the next few moves. Overall, though, I think I did really well, and I look forward to getting better.
Chess is similar to war because you need strategy to win chess and you need strategy to win a war. Pawns are the foot soldiers because they are pretty slow and can’t move very far. They’re also the front lines, so many of them die. The king is similar because he does not move, he just gives commands, which is the same in chess. The knights can jump over people and get to a place faster, so they are the cavalry. The rook was like the person who stood above everybody on the castle, and they could see if there was any trouble. The bishop is the head of some churches, and in medieval times, the church and war are the two most powerful things. The queen can move anywhere and is always moving around; this connects to the Middle Ages because queens would often move around traveling to other castles.
Something that I learned is that medieval wars were very slow. There were a lot of waiting around for someone to make the first move. Another thing that I learned is that this is like chess. Something that I would like to change is that I would not attack so much and I would sit back and shoot with my archers for longer. I think that is a better strategy because you will get more people dead and you will lose less people. Something that I thought I did well in was that I sent my Cavalry last when the other team was trying to flee which helped and I killed a lot more people.
I would like to name this piece of art Self Portraits. I created this work of art by using different materials. I used colored pencils, foam plate printing and oil pastel. Some of the things that I learned while creating it was that I learned new materials that I have never used before. My favorite part was when I made the foam plate printing portrait. I liked it because their was a lot of different parts and I liked how it turned out. If I could change something about it, it would be using one more different material, instead of using colored pencil which I know how to use already. While making it I was surprised that it turned out to be really cool. Something else that I want to share about this artwork is that I really enjoyed making all of the portraits and making this project. This was a really fun project.
This was a very good Spanish test and I am very proud of it. 
This is my math test. I am very proud of it. I worked really hard and some parts I persevered through it.
