We began the week by looking at landscape shots from the Super Bloom. We discussed more about the composition of landscape photos and had challenges for examples of converging lines and foreground depth. We worked with photoshop to enhance the photos we captured. We had the opportunity to visit a photo gallery full of Ivan Farca's landscape art. In Chemistry, we watched a Crash Course video to help us understand what is light. We also watched Andrew do a demonstration of burning different types of elements to create different colors of fire. We started working on our independent experiments for our Chemistry credit for the week. We have the choice to pick what we want to work on for the week. I decided to experiment with watercolors and painting galaxies! In Humanities, we watched a video of the journey of people hiking the Pacific Coast from Mexico to Canada. We discussed the role of outdoor experiences in learning and the precautions of going on a similar hiking trip. At the end of the week, our teachers came up with the idea to make project specialty groups that will take the lead on different aspect of the project. My project team is working on how we will present all of our different landscapes together. These are my before and after photoshop process from our landscape challenge to take a photo with foreground depth and converging lines. I cropped the photo, added some vibrancy, balanced the colors, added contrast, etc. to enhance the photo. HumanitiesWe reread Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men introduction to give us inspiration for more writing about locations. Our assignment was to: Think of a place that has an affect on you...tell us about it. ChemistrySince we did not get the opportunity to do our independent experiment, I decided to experiment with coloring galaxies. I learned more about controlling watercolors and what was happening in the Milky Way galaxy. I used different examples pictures and videos, to help guide me through the watercoloring process! Of course my paintings did not turn out as realistic as the demonstrations, but as I tried each time, I felt that I had improved.
