Sidewalk Chalk Blog



For e9 our first project we got put in groups of four. We each had to choose our own symbols. Mine was a music note because music is a big part of my life but then later we decided to change it to an alto clef since I used to play the viola and I also sing alto. The other symbols were point shoes/ballet shoes, wings and a potato. All of our symbols changed a lot though. Especial one of the girls in my group. First it was a cat then a star then black lipstick then she finally chose a potato. So that made it hard to figure out an idea that all of our symbols can make one big picture.

After we finished our sketches we went outside and drew our big picture. Our big picture was a potato with wings wearing ballet shoes with an alto clef on it. First we drew our own symbol then if someone needed some help like for example the potato was the biggest thing in the picture so we asked some people if they had the same color and we helped her finish coloring in the potato.

I think we had some problems communicating because one of the girls wouldn't even consider our ideas she would always counteract with her ideas and she wouldn't let us use our own ideas and that kind of got me mad and my other group members mad too. But then we were just like who cares its not that big of a deal anyway. To improve this I would have tried to communicate better and try to let my ideas be expresses more.

House Project

The Project So for this project we used sketchup and we had to make a model of a house we found on houseplans.com. This let us learn sketchup more and how to use different techiques in sketchup. The Process First we had to find a house then we had to look at the measurements of the house. I first just made a big block then I shaped it to look like my house. Then once I just got the shape of my house I added a porch and stairs. Then I started adding windows, doors and stuff like that. Then finally I looked back at my house and just tried to compared them and I added extra details that I forgot to do. Then after that I made an animation of giving a tour of my house.  I used this texture for my porch I used this texture for my house. What I Learned I learned how to use sketchup and different tools and techniques within sketchup. Like the push and pull tool to make a shape different heights. Then I learned how to use the orbital tool to move the camera an...

How To Print Out A Doc. At ONW

width="560"> Pre-Production Our creative process was to name all the steps first on how to create a document and print it out then we looked at all the shots and put them on our story board to see which type of shot would make sense for each scene.Then we each used the iPad to just take pictures of each shot. Then we decided that I would be the actor for the video and Jaidyn would be the director and film.  Filming Like I said before my role was just the actor and I learned that you have to act like the camera isn't there and not pay attention to other things around you. I also helped like place the iPad in the right places and i learned how to make your shots level and use the 3 thirds rule. Editing I also edited the video. I learned how to use premiere pro and how to put the videos together and make sure they make sense so the audience doesn't get confused or it does not look weird. I also learned how to add words onto the video and how to ad...

Graphic Design Final

My Favorite Projects Typography Graphic My 3rd favorite project was the typography projects. We found some of our favorite quotes that were meaningful to us and then made a graphic design out of it. The project took about 2 weeks. Some challenges I faced were just trying to find the right color schemes for each of my graphics. Some new skills I learned were how to use different types of pens to create different styles of strokes and textures. I took feedback on my color schemes. I changed the style of the spider because it did not work well when I filled it in with color. I think overall it turned out pretty well I think there is some room for improvement though.  Concert Advertising  My 2nd favorite project was the concert advertisement. What we had to do was pick an artist or musical artist and create a poster, tickets, and poster. This project took about 3 weeks. The challenges I faced were just trying to figure out how to put ever single piece of information ...
