Phase Four UpdateThis week was productive for my phase four project. I was able to get most of the materials I need to complete it, and was able to plan where, when, and what my photo is going to be. This week my goal was to gather all of the materials I needed and to go out and take my picture, I feel that I accomplished this pretty well seeing as I did everything I wanted to do. This weekend I am going out to take a picture for my final, I am planning on drawing on top of multiple shots, and this weekend I am taking a naturey green shot, and on the 7th of June I am supposed to go snorkeling to take a second.

(My group is looking for our photo, but it was lost on the computer it was put on, I will put it on this post as soon as we find it)
Link to Phase 4 Proposal Meeting Reflection: To the meeting I came with an idea that had not quite been formed to the fullest. There were still a lot of details missing and I wasn’t 100% sure whether I wanted to go through with that particular idea or not. But I had my proposal done and so I brought it to get much needed feedback. And am I glad I did, I was given a lot of good feedback and was asked questions that made me think about how I was going to approach the final phase of the project. I had the idea to write a poem that is based off of my final product, with it I intend to add detail and make sure to incorporate the use of the five senses into my writing versus just how it looks. I also wanted to read a nonfiction book about art, mostly the renaissance. I have not found the book that I want to read yet, but my teachers said they’d help me. In my final photo, I wanted to incorporate different art forms and different printing mediums. My meeting helped me decide and finalize what I wanted to do. My final decision was to take a picture, and then draw on top of it to create a scene within the picture. I have four different ideas for the pictures so far, two of them are pictures I took while in Italy, one is a fairly blank canvas, there is a big empty space in front of a church and a bright red car in front of the church. The second one is the top of some buildings and the top half a blue sky. The third and fourth are pictures that I would have to take. The first I want a clearing in the middle of a nature surrounded place, and the second, a close up of someone’s face. On the camping trip my group, Zoe, Maddie, and I were taking landscape pictures. We captured the milky way with many different landscapes. We had it over the lake, with trees in front, and mountains. Taking the picture was quite tiring, we ended up pulling an all nighter, but I'll get into that story later. We started taking pictures at 11 pm across the lake and returned to the campsite an hour later because we couldn't see the milky way that well yet, but little did we know, we were facing the wrong way. At 1 am we headed back out to the lake and started again thinking that it just hadn't risen enough, but after a few pictures, we were confused. I had a star app that we looked up the location of the constellation Cygnus, which is in the middle of the milky way, but the pictures weren't turning out how we wanted. Then just on a gut feeling I turned the camera behind us to take a picture, and there it was! I then told everyone we were with because we weren't the only ones struggling to find the milky way. After we tired of the landscape we had, we moved down the path further and further, until we ended on the other side of the walk way, opposite of our campsites. We then spent a good hour or so taking final pictures until we decided to retire.
Now the story of our all nighter. We were up playing uno and other card games and just talking and telling stories until it was time to take pictures, 11 o'clock. We take pictures for an hour or so and head back to our campsite. From there we decide to go back at 1 and take pictures until 3. So when 1 rolls around we stop what were doing and go take pictures. Instead of just taking pictures until 3, we end up taking pictures until more like 4:30. By then were all tired and want to go to sleep, but we come back to the campsite and some one says, "I want to stay up until sunrise", and being teenagers we are all for it and bet against each other on who will fall asleep. And so we're all talking and having fun, fighting to stay awake and freezing. Then we all move to go lay on the dock. Now granted this dock moves and is pretty wobbly, so being the tired people we were, we were rocking it back and forth as hard as we could without falling off. Eventually we end up all laying down looking at the stars, and we stay like that for a good half hour. We start to move, struggling to stay awake, trying to get comfortable. When finally the sky starts turning orange and red, and purple and pink. The sky kept getting lighter and lighter, but no sun. When we finally realize. We can't see the sun from where we're sitting. We then proceed to raise our voices a little at the person. But then we go over to where we can see the sun and watch it for a little bit, and walking makes us realize we aren't tired anymore, so we went fishing until 9:00 am. After that we went to sleep. |
