Final Project- Laughter

Student Website Review

Period 1 (Lavanya Rajan)
The best photo is the one with the creek that has trees and tons of rocks. I think this is the best photo because this photographer captures the beauty of nature. You can see the reflection of the trees in the water.

Period 2 (Ryen Teo)
The best photos are the ones with the photographer's dog Juno. The dog is just too adorable. The photographer captured moments of the dog growing up.

Period 3 (Jason Wu)
The best photos are the ones with the strawberries. I couldn't choose one photo because all of them was great. The photos of the strawberries that the photographer took looks very appetizing.

MCW Photo Story

During Multicultural Day, we sold Banana Cream Pie, and Chocolate Cream Pie. We first cut them

 into slices and sold them to our customers.

My Art Club president, Angela Hu, was in charge of cutting the pie.

While Angela was cutting the pie, the other people in the club were in charge of holding signs and yell out what we were selling.

Everyone was excited about the pies, and when they took their first bite, they had a smile on their face.

Story with a Photo- Best Yogurt in the World

My cousins and I went to a yogurt shop and bought a medium cup yogurt. We ordered two flavors: Chocolate and white chocolate cookies and cream. The yogurt was creamy and very smooth, it was the best yogurt we have ever eaten.

MSJMCW Story

       Multicultural Week this year was fun and interesting. My club(Art Club) set up a stall and sold slices of cream pies for 2 tickets. We originally sold the pies for three tickets, but barely anyone came so we dropped the price to two tickets. There was two kinds of different pies: chocolate cream pie and banana cream pie. They were sweet but was still pretty good. We bought the four pies( two chocolate cream pie and two banana cream pie) at a famous bakery. On Monday, we sold 33 slices of pies. On Tuesday, we sold 45 slices of pies. It was fun but also tiring.

        While working at my stall, I noticed Multicultural Week is the week where students from different grade and nationality comes together to share their happiness. Its also where students tries different types of food and drinks. It creates a happy atmosphere, watching students from different ages interact with each other with a smile.

Shutter Speed and Everything After

My partner's name is Neha Abshar.

1. Fast, because that way you can capture more action.
2.  Leaving space-The photographer took the picture with the foggy cloud because you can see that it      is windy and what caused the accident. Neha-Composition of symmetry- it shows that the                    photographer parked his car in at the edge of the rail and took the pictures.
3. Element of art-Line- the photo shows line because of the road lines and the rail.
4. Principles of Design- Movement- you can visualize the truck getting knocked over and the two           trucks driving as you see this picture.

Shutter speed:1/250

Documenting the Blues in the Mississippi Delta- Element Variety

We chose picture #2  because it shows a variety of principles or elements of designs and art we learned in class such as lines, shapes, form, space, and texture. The trunk of the tree shows lines and texture. You can see that there is a variety of things happening in the picture. You would first see the fishermen holding a net and your eyes will be diverted to the fish they are catching. The viewers eye then notices the trees and surroundings where the fishermen are at.
