4.Yesterday we reviewed the New York Times Lens blog article about Magnum photographers. Today you will choose your transformative photo. What single photo have you taken this school year that changed how you view photography? Why? (include the photo and an explanation) 

It changed me on how I view photography because I realize that photography have the words that can tell show details and able to tell the story. Besides that,photography helps me to discover the world more different in their perspective and be more observant for different pieces even the smallest details and compositions to look out for. The compositions such as the elements of art and the principal of design can benefit in contributing to photography to make it look more improving and really make the object look more great to focus on.

        
5. What is the difference between shape and form? 
 The difference between shape and form are that the shape is a part of Elements of Art composition that have the geometric shapes such as circles, rectangles, and squares and they have no open line. And the form is a part of  Element of Art composition that have the exposure of the shapes that exposes  in their three-dimensional version, which shows the length, width and depth.

 Elements of Art (Form Composition Link)

6. What is the difference between pattern and repetition? 
   The difference between pattern and repetition are that the pattern is continuous repeating the objects      in areas and forms of art and repetition is the show there is the sense of activity of what is going on      in types of pattern contributing to make it look it has the sense of activity. 
Principles of Design (Pattern Composition)
Principles of Design (Repetition Composition)

7.  Define the principle of design - Movement. Use one of your photos; include an explanation. You may also link to your earlier explanation when we defined principles of design.

       

This picture is the example of showing the movement because the car is the object that driving on the road and it almost reaches to the stoplights in order to go to its destination.  Also, the road is the path that to expose the movement that the car is directed to.

8. Of the last three projects, which one was your best? Include the link to your best work and explain why you believe this is your best work. How did this project change you? How did you learn to see differently? 

•   The best project was the Final Project. 
•  Best Project
•   I believe this is my best project is because I get apply what I have learned so far and apply to the compositions to the photos. 
• This project change me taking out of my comfort zone to go to places and taking time to take some objects with I have never seen before and taking time to explore and learn what the objects contributes to and have meaning and also the details. And taking opportunities to apply the compositions and tools to edit the picture to make it more interactive.
•  I learn to see more differently is that I observe more than I did before and realize that there are many object that are unique even the smallest things can make the impact and seeing things in their own perspective and it have ways to show the bright and fascinating sides of the object. By taking the time, there are so many small things I miss, can be seen by taking the time can include the objects in the photos to make look more nicer.

Multicultural Week Story

                                                    Multicultural Week Story at  Friday Assembly

                            

The ballerina is preforming gracefully in the slow ballet dance with classical music. The ballerina smiles as she sways to music along with group mates. Some wear the pink tutus and other wear the light yellow tutus.

          The girls are making the poses as they preform their Wushu(Chinese form of kung-fu) . They fought so hard on each other and makes the crowd feel like they are in action as they watching their performance.

     The girl is performing her Chinese dance. This is the first time I ever seen a Chinese dance that are perform in multicultural assembly. I was so amazed as well. This Chinese dance is like the Chinese version of ballet. 

This is the first time that the girl did ever bring this wooden prop that she is holding. She smiles as she dances with passion. 

The student is doing their Teakwondo pose as he performs with his teammates. Teakwondo is a Korean style of kung-fu. They do some bowing in the beginning as showing the respect and they do some stunts such as breaking the boards and bricks with the hands and feet and do forms such the movements (high block, roundhouse kick, etc).

The couple partners for this bollywood dance shows a lot of movement as they show up in their matching vibrant colors of their cultural costumes and performing their rapid dancing of bollywood.

The girl is smiling as she hits the drum as like as she smiles along with her group mates. they are performing Taiko which is consists Chinese/Japanese/Vietnamese cultural drum dance which gave some banging sounds. And at the same time they combining the dance.

All in all, I enjoyed watching the performances of the variety of groups who show the school community so many types of dances. Their hard work pays off as school watch their dance. it feels like it is a dance recital.

                  At my school, there are some students dressing up in their cultural clothing such kimono (Japanese traditional clothing) and eagerly flocked to the horseshoe at lunch where there are variety of clubs are selling their food in their assigned booths. The food they serve can be a traditional or American such as Coca-cola (the American beverage), In-n-Out Burger, KFC, Pho (the Vietnamese Beef noodle Soup), cakes, and many more food options.

               It's so special that the clubs actively sell their food that can celebrate everyone cultural differences as well as getting their funds for their club and so much enjoyable that the students and especially teachers come out to try new food that they never tried before. That food-selling event at horseshoe occur during lunch and runs for hour.

            Throughout the week, we have different schedule such as one hour lunch instead of usual thirty minutes.  Monday-Thursday, we have an one-hour lunch to go to horseshoe to get some food and get tickets that the Leadership 2 class have just implanted this year as well as socializing with peers. On Friday, we have an hour assembly at the Gym where the dancers and performers waiting eagerly to show to the school community of their cultural dances such as Ballet, Hip-hop, Taiko, Bollywood, and more that they put so much time and space practicing for months.

                All in all, This event is very special because it a great way to make a school unity while celebrating everyone's' cultural differences.


         

Shutter Speed and Everything After Objective

1. In Photo number 6 in Lens Blog is using fast shutter speed because the moving trucks are so clear and easy to see.
2.The one rule of composition is applied to that photo is color.
3. The element of art is being applied to that photo is form because we can see the trucks have 3 dimensional shapes that exposes their depth rectangular form.
4. The principle of design is being applied to that photo is the movement because the viewer's eyes follow the path of the trucks are being driven on the road ( the structure of the path).
