My First Fan Art - Lithography Plate
Bulldaegal from No Brain!!tomorrow in class we print so fingers crossed !
Change
I've decided to put the education part of my degree on hold for a bit. I'm not sure if it's what I really want to do. Public speaking freaks me out. So does being in charge of a semi large group of kids taller than me. Lots of changes going on and I'm not sure where I'm headed at the moment so for now I'm just going focus on art.
As for this site, I'm going to convert it to a project blog. Posting stuff I'm working on.

Photography - Back in the darkroom
This is the first week of Summer Session II and the start to my photography 2 class. It's been like over 6 years since I've been in the dark room. I had taken photography 1, 2 and advanced darkroom at Queensborough as electives towards my AA degree. Unfortunatly they didn't transfer over as matching credited courses >_<. So I have to retake photo 2. For our first assignment, we made pin-hole camera neg/prints made from old photo paper boxes. It was oky.
I don't know how I'm liking the class or not. It's a mixed class, meaning it's mostly photography 1 students with a few 2 and 3's. It's great to be back in the darkroom I missed it lots. I also signed up to be a lab monitor so I have access when I need it (which is a great thing cause the class is quite crowded).
This time round I'm using a fully manual SLR (thankees Donald for letting me borrow it). My other SLR is a Minolta Maxxum, which has auto settings along with Manual, shutter priority and aperture priority, which I tended to use way too much ;).

My First Work Sheets.
One of the assignments for my Development of Language and Literacy class, is to write a Authors Study paper based on a children book author and then create two work stations with activities that focus on word study and comprehension. Below are two work sheets I made based on the book Zen Shorts by Jon J. Muth.

Template for Pop Up Book
In class today, my Professor asked me to create a "pop up book page" for the class to see. She gave me a hand out with a basic overview on how to make the page.
On my way home from class I was brainstorming ideas and came up with a simple panda in a tree and pop up panda and baby. Since this is for a language development class I added some lines for a student to make up a story of what is going on in the picture.

Almost complete. I didn't know I had construction paper, so I started re-doing it collage style.
- Fold a piece of paper.
- Cut a "tab" in the middle on the fold.
- Fold "tab" in opposite direction
- Glue on tab a character.
