...On typical school days, a person may or may not have a good resource that creates a positive classroom environment to make the school day increasingly productive and vigorous. However, some days are not considered to be a “good day.” There are many components that make a great day. I have come to understand that the following components a good school day must consist of is a good teacher, a great deal of food served, and positive classroom behavior. Throughout my high school years, I often had poor school days not always as good as they seemed because the lack of a caring teacher, however, when my previous supportive, loving teacher came in my presence it made my day better. For example, I remember a typical day at school when I was struggling with solving a math problem. I did not have any idea or thought on what steps I should take in order to get an accurate answer. As I sat there for about five minutes, searching for examples to gain an understanding of the concept, I still had no answer to the problem. However, when my teacher, Ms. Lau had acknowledged the problem I encountered, she took the initiative to assist me not only with that particular problem, but in general. Ever since that incident, my teacher has been an outstanding support system for me. She has helped me in ways that aid me to figure out how to solve problems effectively when I approached them. During the next couple of days, when I was given an assignment, I was able to use strategies she had taught me previously...

...My Friend We make friends through different phases in our life. Although true friendships can begin very quickly, they do take time to build into lasting and valuable relationships. I met a true friend in my workplace. We spend lot of great time together and our friendship had endured through many years. My friend is a rare person to be with because he is funny, friendly, and faithful. First of all, one of my friend’s exceptional traits is being funny. My friend has a very good sense of humor and always has a way of saying something funny about anything. For instance, when we were together in a church service and we have this pastor who was more than 6-foot tall and weighs about 400 pounds. He asked me what would people say if he enters a room for the first time. In a low voice, he told me: “Oh, my God!’ Also, my friend is keeping a list of jokes he learned in a pocket notebook. So whatever the occasion and whatever the topic, my friend always have the joke of the moment. Once, we were discussing with a friend about rounding off numbers. He told us about a farmer who counted 196 cows in the pasture but when he rounded them off to his yard, he had 200. My friend also has the ability to mimic in a fun way the personality of many known people. For example, he can mimic the dancing steps of Michael Jackson, the facial expressions of Jim Carrey, how Donald Trump talks, and many others. In addition to being funny, my friend is also very friendly. It’s amazing to note...

...My Incompetent Boss Over the years I have worked with many people. Most of these people were pleasant to work with, real team players. However some of the people I worked with made my blood boil, constantly making the job difficult. But there was one person I will never forget, Jeff Lander. Jeff Lander was the most incompetent person I have ever worked with. Jeff made me lose money, constantly complained and would try to get people he did not like fired. Jeff Lander made me lose money on a daily basis. To being with, I was a cleaner for Shawnee Villas resort in the Poconos, Jeff was my inspector. Because Jeff would not arrive on time, I was forced to wait for him. Jeff was responsible for telling me what houses I had to clean. I waited 10 minutes, 20 minutes and hour, still no Jeff. This was extremely frustrating since I got paid by the amount of villas I completed in eight hours. When Jeff finally arrived, he did not have the proper paper work. I asked what happened to it and he proceeded to tell me some long story about how his girl friend threw it out the window while they were arguing. I did not care, I just wanted to start working already. But I was forced to wait even longer while he went to the main office to get new paper work. Once we were finally ready to go, Jeff drove all of the cleaners to the villa’s, at least I thought he was. He wanted to making a quick stop to the deli and get coffee, the stop was not quick. As I walked in the store I heard Jeff demanding...

...feelings and ideas that are generated from reviewing the piece of work. I am visually drawn to pencil drawings. Kolliwtz’s drawing’s of Hand to Forehead is an example of one of my visual attractions. You begin to wonder what she is feeling, and then as you analyze those ideas you begin to have an emotional response to the artwork. In this drawing I think she is illustrating a state of frustration. Then Kolliwtz’s Mother with Child in Arms, has the same visual attraction but a different emotional response. You have a happy playful emotional response that is generated from the content in the drawing. Color patterns that are bold or soothing also attract me. Mucha’s The Moon, the Evening Star, the Polstar, and the Morning Star, is an illustration of a color pattern that catches my attention. Unknown what each of the girls are expressing or the difference in the stars, I am drawn to the painting and feel light on my feet while experiencing it. I can appreciate bold expressions and messages in art as well. The content of Bottle Nude, by Margritte, isn’t for everyone to see and appreciate. The uniqueness in expression creates an interest in what you are supposed to see. She could be showing that a woman’s body is shaped like a bottle. Or there could be an underlying message that has a much different meaning. Open for each of our interpretations. The walls and mirrored image keep me interested in what else is the artist is saying. I don’t have an emotional response to this piece...

...Weller describes a zine as “a DIY magazine,” a cheaply made publication printed using a photocopier and construction paper. Weller’s zines contained a compilation of photos and journal entries of Weller’s time with bands he accompanied on tour. On March 31, Weller created a blog post, announcing that those zines he produced were mere warm-ups and that the Vinyl Warhol would be producing quarterly art zines featuring essays, photo galleries and poetry. The first issue, titled “Today,” is issue one of a four-part series centered on the themes of “Today,” “Tomorrow,” “Yesterday” and a fourth issue that’s currently untitled. “The idea is combining things that transcend time. Things that are everyday like sunsets or breakfasts, they’re today, they’re tomorrow, they’re yesterday for hundreds of years into the future and hundreds of years into the past. Then there are also going to be some things that are going to be more telling as to what time period we’re really talking about," said Katt Mabe, the zine’s...

...it discusses the importance for visual learning of the concept of pictorial genres, instructional pros and cons of using realism in visual representation, problems that specialised visual representations can pose for students, factors influencing the pathways that learners use to explore a complex picture and picture interpretation as a constructive, knowledge-driven process that is related to this drawing exercise. 2. Summary of the personal experience during the drawing activity When I first looked at the plan, the first thing that came to my mind was how I could draw the front house view with a plan. The reason is the plan is a flat 2D view from the top of the house rather than from the front of the house. It shows not all the illustrations are the same even they represent the same subject matter. Due to the level of viewing, I started to look at the plan from the left to the right which can be entirely different when someone else looked at the same plan. However, not all the parts of the plan caught the same amount of the attention. The reason is the exercise is to draw the front view of the house. As a result, I spent a lot more time on the rooms and areas in the front. In contrast, I spent very little time on those areas like kitchen, alfresco etc in the rear as I did not believe they were required for this exercise. During the process of understanding the plan, I was constructing the relationships of all the graphic objects in my mind. For example, I was focus on the...

...first wife was Nellie McCormack who survived till 24 years and ended when she died. Dorothy Wadman was his second wife and did not have any children. He had a complicated relationship with his parents. He was enthusiastic about drawing from his young age James Montgomery Flagg is generally regarded by art historians as an extraordinary talented child, because at the young age of twelve, he sold his first illustration to a well known magazine. From 1898-1900 he studied fine art in London and Paris with his friend, he believed that artists were born with talents, not trained, and counted his formal art training as a waste of time. After that he came back to the United States where he created countless illustrations for books, magazine covers, political and humorous cartoons, advertising, and spot drawings. After a few short years later, Flagg was already an employee of illustrator for two main humor magazines. Although he created some achievement early in his career as a painter, illustration was his true passion. His earliest books illustrations, such as Yankee Girls Abroad (1900) and An Orchard Princess (1905), were done in paint. He had started to illustrate with pen and ink in 1906, a distinction that he would be defined by in the years to come in works such as Simon the Jester...

...1. BINGO! BINGO! is a kind of get-to-know icebreaker for the beginning of a class. You need pens or pencils and photocopies of BINGO! tables for each student. On the paper teacher should draw a table of at least 5x5 with some clues on each. These could be describing “color of eyes”, “an experience of a foreign journey” or “a dangerous experience” and etc. Distributing the papers among students, they are requested to move around, asking each other questions which hovers around the topics in each box. If the information in the box matches the person, they write down the name of the person. The game takes about 10 minutes and the first pupil who completes the table in across, down or cross is the winner. At the end, each student talks about his or her classmates and the information gathered. If no one achieves the BINGO!, students sit back and tell the class about the tips they jotted down. Students should be fostered to use a variety of tenses and vocabulary which evaluates both grammar and lexical resources.

...Unit 69: Exploring concept art for computer games What is concept art? Concept art is a form of illustration used to convey an idea for use in video games and animation before it is put into the final production. Concept art can also be referred to as visual development or concept design. Uses of concept art in games development There are many different types of levels in the production process: • Initial concept art initial concept art can be started from verbally or visually the artist will sometimes receive a rough concept design and told to refine and develop the concept further. A concept artist is an individual who generates a visual design for an item, characters, or area for game levels i am going to focus on thumbnails but there are more like storyboards and quick illustrations Thumbnails With thumbnails you start by thinking about a character that you would like to produce. like what weapon, body shape and poses that you would like your charter to have. Once that has been decided you can start with some ruff sketches. Image 1 This part of the process is the main creative part as you have what you charter will look like. These images do not have to be clean just a loose guide to show you what they will eventually look like. Chances are that you will probably only like about 2 out off maybe 10 that you make. but you try to illustrate with black lines what direction that the body will take shape. Image 2 You can use pretty much any element of character...

...1) Tell us about yourself – what are your interests, hobbies, what do you study at school, volunteer/community involvement, etc. As stated in my resume, I am an Illustration student at OCAD U. Art is an integral part of my life and I worked hard and dedicated all of my time to being accepted as a student at OCAD. In terms of my specific program, Illustration can be hard to define to people who are not very familiar with the field. I always simply define it as taking a problem and solving it with visual imagery. Something I believe that is essential to many everyday tasks and possibly at YMCA Day Camp. In terms of interests and hobbies, besides the obvious passion for visual arts, I am an avid cook and baker. I have completed several orders of cakes and pastries for clients. In a way, I always myself in roles that require the completion of time-based tasks, and I always make sure I am able to by planning and organization. With volunteer and community involvement, I always try my best to involve my...

...Writing Analysis Essay Throughout my childhood and until the present day, I have always been told by my parents, teachers, coaches and others that practice makes perfect. As my knowledge broadened, I thought to myself, perfect is impossible to be because humans are engineered to have flaws. No matter how many times one does something over and over again, whether it is shooting free throws until all are made, or writing fifteen outlines until points are stronger, one can only make progress. There will always be space for improvement in any category in life. Writing is no exception, and compared to my writing when I first started college, my work has definitely improved. Although I know I need more work, my organization, development, syntax, mechanics and cognition of my writing has escalated to a level that I did not know I was capable of. Essay outlines was never a priority of mine, but once I began to take the time to write it, my topic sentences and coherence within the paragraphs made more sense to the reader and myself. On the first paper that was graded, “Is College Worth It?”, I received no credit due to the lack of organization and development. At first, I thought I would at least earn a passing grade but once I read the “NC” (no credit) on my grade sheet, I was discouraged and disappointed in myself. I knew I had to state my opinion on my topic sentence, yet I did not do it. For instance, in that same essay, my topic sentence was a fact, “…there are college graduates...
