Team Banner
The team banner project was a project where we got to come up with many different fun names to name our class of 2015-2016 we came up with The Squad, Wildcats, League of Shadows, King's and Queen's, etc; it took us one day to figure out what we were going to name ourselves, so we decided that King's and Queen's. Next, we decided what we wanted our banner to look like and what would the colors symbolize and the image would be saying about our class. After, choosing what we wanted we began to build we took a safety lesson on how to use the tools properly so no one has a possibility of getting hurt or hurting anyone around them. The final result was amazing and was something our team all agreed on, it now hangs beautifully outside of our classrooms.
The part that I am most proud of is that we did all the measurements on our own without our teachers help, and we each got to cut out and paint our chosen piece. Something I would change, would have to be taking time on gridding our wood because it seemed as if we were trying to rush through it and we ended up messing it up and having to turn our wood on its other side and staring over. Throughout this project I had a lot of craftsmanship because I believed that me and my group could finish it to our best abilities, I trusted my group knowing that they will be putting in as much effort to this group project as much as I was which they did. I am very proud of them.
Dia De Los Muertos Resonance Of Remembrance
Resonance of Remembrance was a project where we created mixtape's that included 30 second clips of song that we liked and that went along with the memoirs we wrote for our humanities class. To start of this project we first started with identifying different songs and trying to find out what different sounds we could identify, then we created our first drafts which were mixtapes of songs that had different meanings to them, or special memories that were triggered from listening to that one song. Something cool and exciting we did was learn about sound waves, the different types of sound waves, and how we have many tiny hairs inside our ears that when ever we hear a song the sound waves make the little hairs in our ears dance/ move around, them hairs be dancing. Another fascinating thing we did was go to a recording studio named studio west up in Poway and they have one of the largest collections of sound effects, they have recorded with blink-182 and have hosted many private performances inside their studio with many different artist.
