Psychogeography HW Project #2 (second version)

It turned out that my original Psychogeography Homework Project #2 wasn't quite right.  I gave it another try by shooting pictures of interesting angles in my house.  I was told not to take the picture, but to make the picture.  I did this by changing around the settings in my camera and by lying in different positions; on my stomach, back, side, and more.

Out of Control Spies!

     I was walking to my first period class.  Everything was fine until I came across some STACies.  Just as I said "hi," a vicious blade was between my arm and my shaking body.  The knife looked awfully real.  They said something about a picture and me being dead.  My mind blanked.  Before I knew it, my legs zoomed me down the hall as the only possibility of an escape.  "Who were those blood thirsty spies?" I wondered.  "Was I really dead or just a floating spirit?"

Every day, I am surrounded by my neighborhood.  These are some pictures of the places I see daily.

Acting!

Today in Stac, we went to the Community Center to do a bunch of acting exercises.  You can really learn a lot about yourself  from acting alone.  Luke said that we might have been surprised by the ideas that came to us. I sure was.  I had ideas from being a 150 year old under sea turtle to climbing Mount Everest!

Psychogeography Photos!

I took 35 pictures of flowers around my block, but I was told I could only pick 10 to post. Here they are!

Psychogeography HW Project!

I walked all over my block, looking for interesting and pretty flowers to take pictures of.  I was constantly changing the settings in my camera to get the best picture possible, using the rule of thirds.  My parents and I think the close-ups came out the best.  I hope you will all like my pictures and I can't wait to see what some of you have come up with!

Meow!

I enjoyed the tracing and painting project so much that I went to the craft store and bought the materials to make more of them at my house!  Later today, right before dinner, I made of picture of my very special kitty, Callie, who passed away when I was ten.  Everyone who saw it really liked it, so I will bring it in to school on Monday to see what feed back I get.  I also bought the sketch book and ordered The Empty Space.  I wasn't sure which sketch book to get.  I could have gotten the recycled paper one or the regular paper one.  I chose the one with recycled paper.  Did I choose the right sketch book or did it not matter? If it isn't the one I should have chosen, I can always return it.  I <3 receipts!  They can be so convenient!
Today in STAC we traced and painted pictures of people using print outs, water color paper, water color, ball-point pens, pencils, and our creativity! I made three pictures. How many did everybody else make? We also saw a piece of the James Bond movie, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. It was pretty good day in STAC!
