Hockney Style Joiners

Hello! So back in GT class we have another project *drumroll* ... PHOTOMONTAGES!!
Okay so Mr. Sanderl talked a lot about this famous artist David Hockney and he is our inspiration to our photomontages. Our photomontages are different from David Hockney because his are a lot more difficult than ours because we're only just starting out.

Images, pictures, photos. They're all the same, so many words for the same meaning. Pictures can send lots of different messages, positive and negative. There's so many different ways a picture could be taken, you really have to think about your audience before you post because it could either make a  person feel really good or it could effect them as being something bad and insulting.

My final photomontage is a sequence of photos taken of one scenery, the scenery is of a street that shows a mountain in the background, its a sunny day that really brought me joy. Sunny, clear days make me happy! They make me want to go outside and adventure, so I thought that this day really captured that feeling of happiness and joy. I would really like to send the message that there's always room to be happy and that you should never take a day for granted because you never know if you'll get tomorrow.

2016 Aspirations

Heyyy y'all! I just came back from the mid-west! ah yes winter break is over, unfortunately. So Merry New Year and Happy Christmas, five goals I hope to attain is to stop procrastinating, strive higher to reach my goals, stay positive, get my grades up and to stop overthinking little things. Some of these goals I have a hard time keeping up with, and some I just feel like I need to work on.

My most important goal would have to be a mix of getting my grades up and to stop procrastinating, because I struggle with procrastination which effects my grades. I would really like to get into a good college and in order to do so I need to get good grades. Procrastination is a hard thing to work on but I know that I need to change my habits and get it together. I have a few C's and need to get those up so that I can have a successful high school and college career.

To stop procrastinating I will force myself to do my work and everything else on time and when I need to do it. I will motivate myself to strive higher to achieve my goals, not let the negative things bring me down to stay positive and I will focus harder on my school work to get my grades up. I will stop overthinking small things my clearing my mind and realizing that it's not the end of the world. My plan to getting good grades is to put down my phone and electronics and to really focus on my assignments. I am going to take this seriously so that I can feel better about myself when this year is over:) I hope to accomplish these goals by the end of the school year so that I can start fresh in high school!
