The latest project that i did in humanities was on the renaissance. The renaissance was a time in Europe that brought about great changes to society, how things worked and how war was waged. The main goal of this project was to learn about the renaissance, its important people, works of art and inventions. Once we had learned about these things we had to write a paragraph on the change that came out of the renaissance that we thought was the most important and we had to make a tryptic comparing how things and inventions work now compared to how they worked back in the time of the renaissance.

The thing that i chose to write m paragraph on was the musket, you can see that below this paragraph. The main points that i talked about in my paragraph were how the musket was important in the renaissance, how it brought about change and how it is important nowadays. I think that the musket is the most important thing to come out of the renaissance because it changed and affected the lives of so many, i think that make it the most historically significant things to come out of the renaissance. For a more detailed account of this check out the actual paragraph, which is below here.

The other things that we had to do in this class was make a tryptic. But what is a tryptic? A tryptic is a image with three panels, and we used the different panes to represent different times. So in my tryptic which you can view here i used photos to demonstrate the differences between now and the renaissance and how it changed how we do things now, one example if this is i put a picture of Copernicus and Neil deGrass Tyson to represent how things have changed between now and the renaissance. If you want a better idea of how i did this, look at the tryptic here.

But what was the point of all of this? Well the point was to learn how to demonstrate historical significance, what is historically significant and why it was important. The other reason was to learn how make a tryptic, how to use the app SuperimposeX to make and edit the images. That was the point of this project.

So here is the ebook that i did for the loon lake learning advance. It contains some information about the learning advance here is the book:

So what is the working with word project that we did and how does it relate to the ebook post that talks about poems that i published earlier? Well this post will explain that and what this project was about.

So this project was about poetry. What is the definition of poetry though? Well the definition of poetry is: literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature.   So what that mean is poetry is not a thing it is just word that people give meaning to. And please don;t just go down in to the comments below and tell me that that all books are the exact same way because this is different ok? Anyways so now that i have voiced my opions i can get on to talking about this project. So during this project ingoring the fact that poetry is not a thing i was told by my teachers to read poems and digest them.

One of the more important parts of the blog post in my opinion was our terms document. So what we did was we were given terms and examples by our teachers to write down and we would then study them because we had a poetry test. Where we were tested on our knolidge of poetry terms and how well we could anylise poetry.

The final thing that we did was we wrote all of the poems that we were told to write and then put them in an ebook that we published online. Then we had to add some media to the ebook. So we could add a drawing photo of video that we thought complemented the poem Nicely once we had done that we were to add a little sound clip next to the poem explaining what we had in mind when we wrote it.

After it finally came time for the for the coffee house presentation. In class before the night of the presentation we were put in to groups where we were assigned a type of poem. Once we had a made a poem we had too wait till it was time in the night for us to present. When it was time we live streamed in a zoom call and then we presented and the project was done except for this blog post that you are reading.

want to see my ebook well click the link below.

So you might be wondering why i am doing this blog post because it is not on theme with the other blog post in this geek out blog challenge and that is because our teachers decided that we had to combine our last geek out post with this destination imagination post. So now that i have gotten that out of the way with i can start the blog post. So this is the last post in the geek out blog challenge and this one is on destination imagination, but from now on i will just call it D.I.

But what is D.I.? Well D.I. Is and activity that is meant to encrourage teamwork. In D.I. You also have instant challenges which are meant to test how well your team can cooperate together and use eachother’s skills to succeed in the challenge that you are given to compleet. There are more that one diffrerent type of instant challenge and i will name a few. So there is building instant challenges and acting challenges of the top off my head.

So there is also diffrerent elements to a teams solution in D.I. So the team has a problem that they need to solve (oh and i have the scientific challenge so it might be different for an other challenge) so the different elements to the scientific challenge are: team choice elements, and a visual elements. 

So that i s what D.I. Is about

So here is my book that I made out of the poems that I wrote in class. I made the book using the app book creator by apple. Here is my book!

So this is the second part of two blog posts about what we have done and learned about in this maker class. Carr was about learning about the Apple Pencil and Sketches Pro. We also learned about different ways to draw the different tools that sketches pro has. Some of the different strategies that we learned about were using pressure, doodling (yes this can be a skill), shading, perspective and using colour (yes also a skill).

Now because i want this blog post to be like my other blog post for this project i will talk about the artist that this is named after, and that is Emily Carr (wow you guessed it good for you). So Emily Carr was born in Victoria British Colombia in 1871 she was a Canadian artist and writer inspired by the indigenous people of the Canadian north west. Emily Carr did not get recognition for most of her life. She died in 1945. Now one of her paintings could sell for more than 2 million dollars. She is known for her use of colour and how some of her art looked surreal.

So some of the art that i did in this subclass were: creating block letters, creating a doodle library, and drawing our own emojis, drawing a robot and creating a design brief to name a few. I think that the best skill that we learned was sketch noting. So you use visual art to take notes on what you are doing. You use arrows and other thing to point where to look and to tell the story of what you are taking notes on. I do not find this useful but. Know some artistic people like it.

When we’re doing these thing we learned how we could use the different skills. Some of the tools in sketches pro that i used the most were the pen marker ruler and the water Colour. I think that my favourite tool is the pen because the colour does not get darker when it overlapped. I will include most of the drawings at the bottom of the blog post. One cool thing that we got to do in this project was talking to a graphic designer. I won’t say her name because idk if i can but it was interesting to hear her point of view and how you can use art in a practical way to make a living. In conclusion i think this project was about learning how we can use the Apple Pencil to make art and how we can use the different tools that we have at our access in the plp program.
