...Any man who keeps working is not a failure. He may not be a great writer, but if he applies the old-fashioned virtues of hard, constant labor, he’ll eventually make some kind of career for himself as writer. This reminds of Haley Diaz, a young, but expressive author of her own works inside of a first grade classroom. She has the smarts, and the ability to reel you in with the words she applies with the use of pen and paper. Haley knows how to construct her papers from start to finish using conventions provided by her teacher. She connects you with imaginative thinking, real life events, and things she has seen. Her use of imagery, English-Language Arts conventions, and detailed illustrations will leave you in awe, and with a big smile. When reading through the first grader’s writing named Haley Diaz, the literary element imagery comes to mind. She allows for you to go with her on her journey from being an amateur writer to an advanced writer. She paints this picture of herself, the things she likes, her family, and what’s most important to her. She captures every single detail, unless it’s something that she doesn’t care about. She pays very close attention to detail to everyday life events, and replicates it in her storytelling. Her illustrations are vivid and provide us with much detail of things that have occurred regardless of the interest level. I see a developing learner with plenty of potential when I read the words she writes on such thick lined paper. This is a learner...

...Line Art Tutorial Recommended for Intermediate Level Photoshop Users First up I’d like to ease your mind and let you know that you don’t need to know how to draw to complete this tutorial. It’s basically tracing, except that tracing is alot easier in Adobe Photoshop. Creating line art with this technique will take several hours to do a good job…if you want a tutorial that just applies a couple of filters, then this tutorial is not for you! You will need to know how to use the PEN TOOL for this tutorial. (If you don’t know how to use the pen tool complete the fast tutorial found HERE first). I suggest you read through the entire tutorial first, before you begin. 1. Preparing the Layers Open your photo in Photoshop. Rename the layer “original”. If your picture is quite dark you will need to lighten it a little. The reason for this is that we will be tracing over the photo in black so we need to be able to see the lines we are creating clearly. Adjust the Brighness of the photo Image >> Adjustments >> Brightness/Contrast… Duplicate the “original” layer. Rename this new layer “top”. Create two more new layers. Place them under the “top” layer. Fill the layer closest to the “original” layer white and rename it “background”. Leave the other layer transparent and rename it “line art” Turn the visibility OFF for the “background” and “top” layers.< Visibility ON for the “line art” and “original” layers and the “line art” layer is active.

...early master of pen and ink, but he was much more. He was an American artist and illustrator who gain reputation during the first part of the twentieth century. He worked in media ranging from fine art painting to cartooning but he is mostly known for his political posters. Flagg was married twice. His 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...

...Abstract: This study was conducted over an 8- week period with 20 first graders in an urban school setting. Students simply wrote on self-selected topics without drawing. During the first week students were limited to writing in a 30 minute time frame. Two weeks later students were timed for 30 minutes again and they were asked to draw and then write. Results showed that when students draw and then write their stories, their writing performance increased. Changes to their writing center occurred during this 8-week period. Hence, their feelings toward writing also increased at the end of this study as measured with a survey and informal observations. Introduction: It seems that the Visual Arts is often a neglected aspect of the elementary school curriculum and frequently at the top of the elimination list. According to Norris (1997) teachers are often reluctant to bring art into the classrooms because they are faced with pressure to improve their students’ standardized test scores. Norris (1997) also points out that some teachers don’t view themselves as being artistic, complicated by seldom having the benefit of an art teacher. Unfortunately, as I’ve seen it, art becomes an add on activity “saved” only for Friday afternoons or bad weather days when the students can’t go outside for recess. In addition, if “art” is used, it is used in coordination with writing as an “after-the-fact” activity, as decoration, or illustration when stories are completed. As a first...

...Community art As I walk around my town and neighboring town, I find myself looking at all the older style buildings that are in great shape after all these years. I have come across a very large Victorian style house that has caught my eye numerous times while driving by. There is a stone outside with the house’s history stamped on it. This house was built in 1888 by the founder of Alma, MI. His name was Almy Wright. This was a mansion that he had built for his family. This 2 story wood structure is blue in color now and obviously has been repainted over the years. It has maroon colored trim around the window and eves. Picture, if you will, a huge mansion that sits in the center of town. This mansion has a big covered front porch on the front and has a Victorian classic feel. Windows are still the old wood sash style. I think the owner’s medium was that of what was available in those days. We have the Pine River that flows through the area that brought logs from Saginaw to Alma. Due to the other houses around this one being about the same, others built theirs in his likeness, or media. This house was one of the first built in the city and served as a home for the Wright Family. It was constructed by Detroit Architecture Firm and is still a very important house for the community. This house struck my eye for a few reasons. It’s a very large structure that is one of the oldest houses in Alma and that I am very interested in the Victorian style houses. ...

...Direct Care Experience Lead-Based Paint Poisoning This writer met with a neighborhood friend who has a 3-month old little boy named, Joshua Edward. This mother, Nicole, is a 19 year old, Caucasian, single mother who works full time at a grocery store as a clerk and attends a local community college with the intent of becoming a teacher. She will be entering her junior year of college this coming fall. Nicole was very interested in the information presented in the pamphlet regarding lead-based paint poisoning. She became very concerned due to the fact she is renting half of an older house and is unsure about how old this home is and if lead-based pain has been utilized. Nicole stated she would be making contact with her landlord the next day to further determine if her concerns are warranted. She explained that when she moved to her current residence, her and her family cleaned the home thoroughly from top to bottom and was told then that the walls had been freshly painted prior to her moving in. She did not recall any chipped paint and was relieved to recall that Joshua’s crib was purchased new for her prior to his birth from her parents. Nicole provided feedback after reading the pamphlet that included understanding and insight into how this type of poisoning occurs, how to prevent, and resources to further explore the subject. This writer allowed Nicole to utilize her IPad to review the websites and resources mentioned in the pamphlet to allow her to...

...Paper Chromatography Purose- the purpose is you will use paper chromatography to separate colors from ink. If the ink is soluble in water, it will travel up the paper with the water. Solubility is related to the type of intermolecular forces between the substances; substances with similar IMF’s will be soluble. As the solvent rises on the paper and evaporates, it leaves the colors in its path. Background info- I know that water is a polar solvent and that rubbing alcohol is a nonpolar solvent. Materials- 1. Chromatorgraphy paper 2. 2 Petri Dishes 3. Black felt tips pens 4. Water 5. Felt tip pens of other colors 6. Alcohol Procedure- 1. Obtain two pieces of chromatography paper. Trace a quarter in pencil, in the center of the paper 2. Poke a small hole in the center of the circle 3. Select 3 felt tip pens of different colors (one must be black). Make one dot with each en on each piece of chromatography paper along the line traced around the center, as illustrated on the board. 4.
