Sidewalk Chalk

To kick off the 2017-2018 school year, for our first assignment, we did a project that involved multiple skills including tream work. We where put into groups of four and where told to creat a symbol that represented us. We then put the symbols together and made various rough drafts that combined all of us as one. In this project, as freshmen, we made new friends. At this point we barely know each other, but who knows, at the end of senior year we will make unbreakable bonds with those we had least expected. Welcome to Ecomm.

Walking into ecomm on the first full day of school, it was an unknown environment. Some where eager to make friends, others not so much. We did multiple get to know you activities and we met new people. We walked into the "Ravens nest" where the seniors eat lunch to do our activity. We numbered off into 14 groups of 4. Not knowing anyone in my group, I immediately started to feel comfortable, knowing that they shared some of the same interests as me. One of the ecomm teachers told our instructions and handed out a list of symbols and there meanings. We all drew down what we thought represented us. He told us to combine our symbols, so we made multiple rough drafts. A girl sitting across from me had a great idea, so we went with that.

We headed to the courtyard with a box of chalk. All four of us grabbed a yellow, while one outlined half, the other darkend and perfected the symbol. At the end when we where finished, the whole concrete square was filled with color. We put in effort and teamwork, making us have the best symbol. Even through it may not have looked the best, we knew that what we made that day would represent us as one, and not individually. Just one project convinced me that this would be a great year, and just one project made me feel like I belonged right where I was.

Senior final

      M y past four years with the eCommunications academy was overall an amazing and unique experience. freshman year I remember having a big interest in video and graphic design, but I wasn't so into animation and web. I made some great friends freshman year and that followed into my sophomore year. obviously, I chose video and graphic design. I had a lot of fun following tutorials and creating art I could be proud of in graphic design and I loved making music video remakes and doing mini cover stories. at the end of the sophomore year, I decided to go into convergence journalism. I didn't really connect with the people in that class and within a week I switched to entertainment video. I loved the people in my new class but a part of me always kind of wished I stayed in journalism because that has been something I've been into since middle school. however, I did find something I loved in entertainment and that was my role as a documentarian in that year's feature film...

Personality type

        Personality tests:                 Test #1: In Ecomm we did something called a personality test. After taking this test with about sixty questions, it would then examine my answers and tell me weather I was an extravert or an introvert. An extrovert is an outgoing person who is good in social situations. An introvert is someone who would rather read a book then hang. The test that I took told me that I was an extrovert. It asked me questions like if I liked being in crowds, or just sit and read a book. Of course I said I like being in crowds, because I am a people person. Being a people person makes me an extrovert, and according to my test, I was basically the opposite of an introvert.                 Test #2:The second test that I took put me into one of four categories. After taking the test, the animal that I got was an otter, which means i am playful and I like to be aro...

pressure and ink

Relief process In this process you use somthing called a baron to transfer the picture. u place the paper over the carved wood that has ink on it and you use the Barron to rub in the ink. the Barron is a wooden circle that makes the ink more visible for a better transfer. to make the print u use wood that is carved by hand and u use negative and positive space to show where and where not there will be ink to form the picture. intaglio process For this process you use copper and scratch it with the tool to make a picture. but first you have to buff and shine the copper so the un intended scratches won't effect the print. then you put it in a liquid to make it stronger and its a really important step. u make the copper jet black and u slightly scratch just so you can see the copper. lithography process this processs uses stone and it uses the technique of grease and water. they will draw with a greasy material onto a lithographic stone and then they use chemicals to treat the ...
