Future Artifact

My artifact from the future took me a very long time to do. First, I took a screen shot of slingshot's web page and set it as background. Then, I looked for a picture of aluminum in Google and paste it on top. After that I made a outline of the wakeboard and copied that shape from the aluminum image. After that, I copied the aluminum outline on top of the wake. This is when I started to add detales. I added the word "aluminum" to the wake's name and changes 2011 to 2014. I also added a "buy" clicker. Everything looked good, but the board needed a design and I had to add a second tutorial. So, I made an outlne of some other wakeboard designs and drawings and pasted them on the board. They had a white border around them, so I used the "tattoo" tutorial to eliminate the white things. All Done... I liked it a lot because an aluminum wakeboard would be very durable and strong, but it would still be very light. I didn't like the quality of the picture, it was a little blurry, but I did the best I could. I think I would change the following: I would make the screen shot be on a laptop's screen. That way it would look like it's already happening on the real life.

I liked this project because it is very creative and looks like a hard working project.

Artifact From the Future

My artifact from the future will be a floating chrome plated surf board. I chose this because I wanted to do something about surfing and it has to be from the future: a chrome surf board that is able to float sounds from the future. I will probably make the reflect of the board as a dude flashing a peace sign. My final project will The Surfer Magazine with a picture on front of a chrome surf board. It will have a big wave behind it and a "new" sign too. I think this is going to be challenging. At the end it's going to have been worth it anyway.

Family Tree

What you see in the left is my wonderful family tree. Some of my family member's faces aren't there because I could not find any, in the computer or real... One time, all of the people you see and my family went to Cuernavaca for Christmas. My family stayed with my mother's side grandparents. It was so cool! We were all so happy and joyful!

Family Tree

I picked this tree because is the album cover of my favorite artist and songwriter... He is Jack Johnson and I admire him very very much. The album is In Between Dreams and it's one of my favorites.

Map Testing... Again

Once again, we had Map Testing last week. This time I didn't get good scores... Well, I did, but we were suppose to beat 2 of our 3 high scores in order to get a spirit day. The 3 of my scores were lower by 3 points. I didn't think any of them were hard. My grade wasn't bad, but I could have done better. The Map Testing we had on October were hard while I did them, but my grades were better. I hope next year I do better and get a spirit day.

PowerPoint Presentations

Over the years, before coming to high school, we had to make book talks on PowerPoint every year. I remember that we were all nervous before presenting, but I also remember that we were very lame. We all talked funny and no one could understand us. Our teacher pretended to and gave us a good grade but I could see on her face that she was so bored. I remember watching some students do a very bad job, like misspelling every single word, saying ''Um...'' in between each word, inserting dumb pictures that din´t even make sense and were so blurry that you couldn't see them! Now that we're in high school we have become much better. We talk clearly and don't get nervous. I feel like after each presentation I make, I become better than last time.
