Sidewalk Chalk

This team building experience involving the use of colors and symbolism allowed us to express something greater than what the drawing shows. To give you a visual, this is what we drew:


In essence, our banner/flag represents the ability to engage in teamwork as we look into what certain collaboration skills we need in order to succeed. The palm branches surrounding the animals represent victory, confirming that working together has its wonderful benefits.

 Each animal also has their own meaning that we each chose apart from the video game controller that is being passed around which symbolizes a goal. I drew the corgi dog and hedgehog. I love animals and have a strong connection with them, the dog specifically symbolizes protection and a playful spirit which I can relate with. A corgi? Well, I just want one some day. The hedgehog symbolizes intuition, which is something I like to think I have.
The process of coming up with ideas to getting up and drawing it on the cement!

It took awhile to come up with this design, but we eventually agreed on animals helping each other. We didn't really think of why but it was a good idea to start out with. We started sketching our own designs to see what everyone was thinking and then mixed them together.

The colors were pretty easy to determine, there wasn't a theme or anything but we didn't want to use too much color so we picked out 5 colors.

Overall, this collaboration effort opened us up a little bit more. Just a little bit of interaction with people we barely know and go to work with them can make us more confident and social beings than we already are.

Red Ball Projects

This project was to use Photoshop to make frame by frame animations with a red ball bouncing. To get used to the software, we just did one bounce in place. For the next one, we did a few bounces in an arch shape. We learned how to use several principals of animation in our projects such as staging by creating a grass-like environment and a realistic red ball, we used exaggeration by bringing emphasis when the ball hits the ground, and we used ease in and ease out in our last version with the ball leaving the scene in any way we wanted it to. Process It's a very simple project, and what's good is that we can do almost anything with cell animations using Photoshop. You have to be extremely aware of everything that's happening when making these type of animations, that I believe is something I'll get from experience and later be able to develop more complex animations along the way. How I Think It Is I definitely think my animation is more...

SketchUp House

The project was to use a real house plan and use SketchUp to create the house.  Original House Plan:  https://goo.gl/Ti4trZ What I Learned I've never used SketchUp before, however, I have used Roblox Studio which surprisingly is very similar. They each have the same tools and you are able to create anything. The difference with SketchUp is that it involves a lot more thinking. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to move something... so many steps. These are the textures I took from the internet:

Web Final Project

This project's goal was to create a website displaying our self promotional elevator pitch as well as two of our favorite projects. We followed several videos step by step, listening to 8 videos from Mr. Olson.  What I Learned / How I Did I learned the basics of Adobe Dreamweaver from the many videos, I also learned how to utilize the different headings and subheadings which I can use on many different softwares other than Dreamweaver. I believe my website is up to par with what is expected, maybe even more then what is expected.
