Sidewalk Chalk Art

         Over the past three days we worked as a group to create a symbol that represented us. The First day we were randomly assigned groups, once we were put into groups we were told to think of a symbol that represents our selves. The teachers taught us about ancient art and symbols. For example if you played soccer your cold do a soccer ball to represent you. then they said how colors can represent something to, like in a flag the colors could represent peace or war.

       My groups members were Annabelle, Kate, and Andrew. Overall as a group we worked very well together. The first thing we did was work together to try to think of out symbols. Mine was a pointe shoe to represent dance, Annabelle's were pom poms to represent cheer, Kate' was a painting brush because she likes art, and Andrew's was a baseball and bat because he plays baseball. Then once we had our symbols we decided to put them in a code of arms.

        On the final day we went outside to draw our design in the courtyard which went very well. First Kate drew the code of arms and divided it into four sections. Then we all drew our own symbols.  We finished with plenty of extra time and our design turned out very good. Overall I think as a group we worked very well and got along great.

Printing Processes

Relief Printing:  Relief Printing is a  printing process where the surface faces of the paint block are inked; empty areas are ink free. Printing the image is a simple task in inking the face of the block, making it contrast more with the paper. 1.) Prep your block, you can tone it using Indian wash or jet black film ink. 2.) Place carbon paper transfer on tip of the block. 3.) Once the paper is transferred, you have the choice of what kind of composition you want to have which will have a impact on what tool you decide to press with. 4.) Roll in over the surface of the block, then place it on the press where it is past through transferring ink to paper.  Intaglio Printing: Intaglio printing is any print making process when the image area is below the flat surface of the printing plate. The design is cut, scratched, or etched into the plate.  1.) Prepare the plate by polishing and cleaning it so that there are no scratches or marks that coul...

Color Wheel

The Project: This week in e-Comm we made color wheel! We did this project to learn the basics of adobe illustrator and color schemes. We learned about the primary and secondary colors. First we learned about good color schemes and the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Then we were taught how to use adobe illustrator. What I learned; First we earned about color schemes. There are many different color schemes, including warm and cool colors, monochromatic, color triads, analogous colors, and complementary colors. Then we learned how to use adobe illustrator. First we created a new file using he web setting which was 800x600 pixels. Then we started making our color wheel. Then we learned about all the tools on the side and the short cuts for those tools. How it went: Overall I think making the color wheel went really well. It was very fun to learn about color and different color schemes. Also I have never used adobe before, it was hard at first but got a lot easier.

1 in 2000 feature story

The last few weeks in e-Comm we work on writing and creating our first feature story. We started by watching videos and learning about what it take to write a feature story. Then we picked directors and got into our groups. When we got into our groups we were instructed to pick a subject that did something interesting in our class. Since Jaden, Maleah, and I both participated in this years marching band we decided the Drew would be a perfect topic. Then we wrote 21 questions for Drew and 21 questions for his percussion teacher Mr.Carter. Then we got into filming. First we filmed interviews with both people and then worked for about a week trying to find and film b-roll. The final step in this project was editing which was hard than usual because there was more steps in editing feature story’s than just normal entertainment videos. We had to write and record voiceovers and decide sequencing and many other steps. Overall this project was very different than anything we have done before...
