IR Assignment
This is the character portrait for The Outsiders. The reason why I chose this character is because he is the protagonist in the story, leading use through what happens, speaking his thoughts, and also giveing ideas of what he might do next. When I chose this character I thought that he might be a good person to do a character portrait and description of because he is the one who will be leading the story thoughout the book. This picture I did a little better than the one below because for this portrait all we had to due is draw the person the best we could, and this is the best I could do for Ponyboy from The Ousiders.
This is a movie poster that I made for the book Peter and The Shadow Theives I chose this book because like I said before Peter Pan is my favorite. When I was drawing this I thought that it would look good but instead it came out horribly due to me not being able to draw and drawing things with litle detail and to a smaller scale. This "poster" is something i'm not so proud of because just look at it, it is terrible, and I thought it would look better than it did in this picture so know I need to just live with this picture being here.
Happiness Writing
The purpose of the happiness project was to measure and see how and what made people happy when they felt the need to be happy and also what causes happiness to occur in other people. The thing that I want to accopmplish for this project is one finishing the project, two finding out wha makes other people happy in there lives and also the things that make me happy or other emotions that are good or bad. The emotions that I felt during this exhibition were both happiness and anger because with the time that we had I didn't think that I wouldn't finish, but when I did I was so happy because it looked good.
This is a picture of my mask for the FDS exhibition. When we first started this project I thought what am I going to do and I paniced because I didn't know what I should do for my mask but then I thought that maybe I could put the emotions tha I feel and put them in a spirel showing that at one point everythings fine then later on everything becomes a mess. The orange color, actually red, is supposed to be anger, blue is sadness, purple is love, and green is happiness. The reason for red and blue being on the top is because those two are the ones that are always on my mind almost 24/7 and the other two colors are the ones that I don't think as much about.
These are the scripts we worked on for our assigned groups. scripts
This is a journal page that we did in class fo the happiness documentary where we got our ideas to do the different exhibitions in class and we also went to The Museum of Contemperary Art and that was fun because we got to see things that gave us ideas to interact with people. When we watched the documentary I thought of the things that made me happy and when I thought of those things that helped me come up with an idea for a FDS exhibition. I also got to learn things about people and the areas around them, like in Japan, working yourself to death is called Hisroshi, and that in Southern Japan they don't work themselves to death, insead they work just enough to be content for a while, and they are spiritual.
Reflection
For this profect I feel like I did well on it because when it was my turn to be the person tha explained what our project was with people I think I did well despit the fact that I might have changed what I said betwen each person but other than that I did good. During our exhibition I was able to talk to people that I didn't know and I thought that was cool because I was able to ask they were able to ask me questions like like how we started the exhibition and what we used to brainstorm the ideas that we came up with. When it was my shift inside the class room to explain the project almost nobody came up to me and asked but there were times when I had to muster enough courage to ask people if the wanted to know about the project.
Romeo and Juliet Reflections
When we started this project or lesson I knew it would be interesting as long as Ms. Britt is teaching the class so when I heard that we were starting Romeo and Juliet I thought things are about to get interesting and they did fairly quickly actually. My hope for this lesson was to actually try and understand Romeo and Juliet, or just Shakespear in general because I was always interested in the way he presented his characters in a way that made them seem as though the events actually happened. When we finished our Romeo and Juliet reading I felt as if I understand Shakespear alittle bit more than what I used to know before which was just basically not all Romeo and Juliet, all I knew was "Romeo, O Romeo, where for at thou Romeo" and that was my basic knowledge of Shakespear.
This is the hat that I made for Romeo and Juliet. It is the Chef Watchman.
This is the top view of the Chef Watchman's hat.
PROJECTS
Team Banner Project
The team banner project was to be able to let people know who we are, The team banner idea was made by our teachers and all we had to do was come up with a design and to build the banner(under the watch of our teachers of course) and we had to work together to be able to get our banner done. I wish to be able to let people know that I am part of The Crew.

Dia De Los Muertos Exhibition
Our Dia De Los Muertos Exhibition was a project that I will remember for all four years here at High Tech High Chula Vista and I think that I'm going to like all of the exhibitions that we do here at my "Second Home". The exhibition was about writing a poem in the mirror of death and we had to write about what we would do in the mirror of death.
