Melissa Alvarez Q2 Slideshow
Posted by Melissa Alvarez in Art - Senior Art - Hull - E on
During quarter two of advanced art, we had quite a variety of assignments to complete; some very different from others. After our two art history assignments, we had to complete an art collage. I enjoyed that assignment the most out of anything else this quarter because I spent so much time trying to make it perfect. I created a solid green bottle, with a variety of purple background. I also made sure to cast light on the bottle, so some parts were noticeably lighter than others. It was where I chose to be most creative. I also practiced my shadowing techniques when I drew a fabric, I created my own representation of the princess and the frog, and I practiced my photography skills when I went to New York. I think having a variety of assignments like this makes all the forms of the arts more accessible to us which I appreciated this quarter.
Food Project: Curry Chicken with rice
Posted by Jamira Carter in Science and Society - Best - E on
Ingredients:
1 skinless whole chicken
curry powder
salt
garlic
lemon juice
pepper (optional)
white rice
Directions:
- Cut the chicken into edible bites.
- Clean the chicken by washing it and adding some lemon juice to it. This also helps with flavor.
- Turn the stove on high and place vegetable oil in a skillet to heat up.
- Season your chicken with salt, pepper, garlic, and curry powder.
- Once seasoned and once the oil has heated, place the chicken in skillet to cook for about 30 mins
- Half way through cooking time, boil rice.
- Place the chicken over the rice and Enjoy.
Analysis:
My dish is able to me made organic or non-organic. I personally used non-organic items because they are cheaper. The whole chicken I used was processed so it was more than likely fed steroids and products to make it fat. A chicken on a proper diet prior to being butchered is considered an organic chicken. Removing salt from the chicken would also make it a healthier dish; alternatives such as accent are great substitutions for a better diet. Cooking the chicken in vegetable oil is great too.
The rice was actually rice that’s able to be cooked in a bag (cheap) , but their are healthier alternative.Using some sort of organic white rice would benefit you more. There’s a myth that brown rice is the better rice between the two , but it actually studies actually show that replacing all brown rice with white rice in your diet would lower your chances of diabetes. Sticking with the white rice is the best way to go!
Majority of the ingredients are simple seasonings and they are the main source for the taste of the food. Most should not be swapped out. They calories from the seasonings do add up, but they aren't too bad.
Overall, my dish is not unhealthy, but there are plenty of ways to make it healthier. Depending on your serving size, the meal is no more than 500 calories. I'm unsure what curry chicken would be like if it was baked, but it would not hurt to try it!
Reflection:
During this quarter, I learned a lot about the foods that I often consume. Just because it isn’t fast food, I assumed that it couldn’t be bad for you. I also gained understanding on what processed foods can do to your body over the course of years. People in their mid-years or older age tend to get problems such as heart disease from bad decisions from when they were younger.
Initially I had no plans of changing my diet but I do understand it would benefit my body. I tend to be sluggish and energy deprived, and I wondered if a better diet would change that. Over the next month, I plan on switching out foods for better alternatives to see what they do to me.
Diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and more are common killers in America. We’re known to be greedy and it shows. I don’t want to become another statistic, so I plan on changing that.
Emalyn's Q2 Senior Artwork
Posted by Emalyn Bartholomew in Art - Senior Art - Hull - E on
This quarter in art we tackled some pretty large projects. We started by delving deeper into art history, looking at art from all around the world, as well as learning about different styles of art. Then, we sketched out ferns. While working on those sketches, we learned about the Golden Triangle, which we also used to create our collages. After creating these collages, we began the process of printmaking. For my print, I decided to make a cup of steaming hot coffee, as coffee is near and dear to my heart. We had to make sketches, negative space drawings, and finally we cut it out. The printmaking process took a long time, but it was so worth it. I am so pleased with how my print came out, and I hope to use it as decoration of some sort. I think that this quarter pushed us all as art students, but I found that really enjoyable. I look forward to the next half of the year, and can't wait to try different mediums in my work.

This quarter opened many opportunities to create many interesting pieces of art. Freedom of Art played a big role in every piece in this Portfolio. The first piece in the portfolio was to create a collage of whatever the artist wanted. When making this, I chose the video games that have impacted my life and inspired me to make art and to be more creative. The next piece I created was an edit of a photo of my choice. The piece after that was a fabric drawing. With that we had to show the shadowing and creases of the object we drew. The last piece we had to create was an illustration of a piece of writing such as a poem or a novel. The poem I chose was Shel Silversteins The Diving Boardand then I illustrated it. The poem reads: "You’ve been up on that diving board
Making sure that it’s nice and straight.
You’ve made sure that it’s not too slick.
You’ve made sure it can stand the weight.
You’ve made sure that the spring is tight.
You’ve made sure that the cloth won’t slip.
You’ve made sure that it bounces right,
And that your toes can get a grip– –
And you’ve been up there since half past five
Doin’ everything … but DIVE.

Jennifer's Art Portfolio

This quarter has been great so far in art class. I enjoy my class because I get to show off my creative side and become a artistic in my own special way. I am always proud of myself for making the best out of me since art is a hobby and possibly a talent. Once, when I get my hands on a piece of paper and a pencil I start to feel relieved from stress and feel like the world doesn’t exist to me since I’m way to focus on my work. For example, when I created a new ceiling tile for the classroom, I thought about my pervious work ‘Elsa’ from Frozen. I thought it would have been a good idea to create her sister ‘Anna’ so both sisters can live in SLA art class. It was really detailed and many students had complimented me. The portrait is not the only thing that I accomplished but I had followed up the requirements and completed all assignments that Ms. Hull had made us to. I took my time and accepted the challenged, Hull was also very helpful because there were some techniques that I was stuck when creating my plate and print and her advice was really useful. At the end, I felt good about myself. I look forward to my last days in senior art class.

For quarter 2 art, we had many different art assignments and all of them were challenging in some way. I think that my art work reflects how well I worked this quarter. I enjoyed the negative space work that we had to complete the most because we actually got to create a physical piece of art and paint it as well.
