My Thoughts about how aspv teaches us about technology

Aspv does a good job on teaching students about technology. I cant really see if the way they do it is good or bad, I just really dont care. I think it is okay how Mr. Picketts shows us how to use some applications in the computer. He is a really good teacher. Without him, I wouldnt know how to even use blogger, or powerschool.

Another good thing that our teacher do is to explain us how to prevent cyberbullies. Thi is good to know, because if you give them your attention you will end up being sad. Anyways, this is something that is really sad and true. As I was saying, the teachers do very good.

In conclusion, ASPV give us good knowledge about technology. The only thing that sucks that they make us do is typing test. I think is kind of wierd, because we do blog posts, and that improves our writing skills. So, I don see the point of doing the typing test, its just a waste of time.

Julian's Medium

Im going to use pencil for my stop motion. I was going to bring plasticine, but then I realized I was going to take too long. Anyways, Im going to convert a top into a hand grenade by drawing and erasing everytime I take a picture. I chose this medium because I dindt had anything else in mind. I was considering doing a cherry turning to a grenade but I found it really hard. I think copying the drawings with a slightly difference each time, is going to be my biggest challenge.

Stop motion

I loved all stop motion videos. If someone asks me what stop motion means, I think I would answer that they're videos that are made of cointinous pictures , and then put in together to form a video. These films that I saw give a certain feeling, depending on the video. In my opinion, the paper day video, was kind of sad. I think people like to create videos in stop motion, because its more admirable because takes more time. Also, because its the only way to make something move without using your hand, if you are not a professional.

William Kentridge by: Julian

William is an excellent artist that expresses things by drawing stuff. I got really amazed how he uses charcoal to make his films. Some of his work makes me feel a little sad, since he draws kind of sad faces. In his artwork, the mine, his drawings are very unhappy, or at least thats the feeling that I had. One of his films that really caught my attention was Five Themes. That paint, has a meaning although is hard to know what it is. Anyways, I think that was my favourite of all three .

I really dont know how could I explain his art work to someone that was blind. All I can say, is that he uses charcoal, sometimes pastel and colored pencils to draw his stop motions. They are random, and kind of scary, but it explains somehow, how real life is. It also tells the feelings he has. I think his arts are almost like poetry.

Mash-ups

A Mashup is a song or composition that use two or more songs that already existed to create a new one. They are different tyoes of mashups. A good mashup is made with tempo and edited good so that the voice of the singers can be heard clearly. Anyways, a bad mashup normally will not have good combination of songs or it would just be a mess. I think people who make mashups are really musicians. It isn't easy to create these somgs. It needs lots of practice and good taste of music. Mashup are really cool whe they are created correctly
