Rise of the Frankenstuffies

Have you ever heard of a Frankenstuffie? It’s a cool project where you take different parts of different stuffed animals and sew them together to make a cool combo of animals.

Recently we had to create a Frankenstuffie for humanities. We are learning about transitions and this was a way to show it.

We started by collecting some old stuffies. I grabbed a snow leopard and a parrot fish. Then, with a neefle I got to work sewing the different parts together.

Once my stuffie was complete, we were asked to come up with a story to go along with it. I decided that my Frankenstuffie was a princess named sparkle scales of the Mercats.

Once we had finished that I decided that animating a video would be the best way to bring it to life. After a long and hard process I finally finished my video.

This was a really fun project and I really got to improve my creativity and artistic skills.

If you have any questions for the video there’s a QR code bellow!

 

The Medium Is the Message

this is our most recent project. In this project we learnt a lot about advertising and mass media. I think that “the medium is the message” is our biggest project yet, and probably the longest.

For the first keystone we had to interview our parents about certain parts of advertising and what they think of it. It was cool to see how my parents’ perspectives were different about media.

For the second keystone we had to make a chart listing about different types of advertisements and how they present themselves in ads. We learnt stuff about Pathos, Ethos and Logos and other stuff like that. We had to choose a bunch of different types of ads, Ex: video ads or web ads. And we had to talk about who their target audience was and a bunch of other things.

For the last keystone we made ads for a business that we interviewed in Oregon. We had to incorporate their logo and the color that our business groups decided on.

We also had to make a bunch of drafts for our ads.

My first draft:

On my first draft I received a lot of feedback from my peers and my teachers. I was told that the wolf didn’t seem to be the main focus of my ad and that it needed to be bigger. Also that the ad needed to have more shades of color.

My second draft:

On my second draft I didn’t receive as much feedback but I was told that I should change around the colours a bit.

My last draft:

I think that my last draft was pretty good but I think it looks more like a poster then an ad and it wasn’t exactly what I wanted it to be.

In all we got to learn a lot about how advertisements are created and all the thought and logic behind them.

My triptych

The triptych made by me
Ideas form Europe and Asia changed the world by influencing how we act and look today. Goal: explain the historical background of your tryptich to the world. I saw that the newer reinesance innovations had more colour and elegance. Colours were more drab and less bold, average people wherent fancy. People dress more simple some still have a certain elegance. Tryptic’s where an medieval style of paintings that had three panels. It told a story through three pannels and often the middle one was the largest. In our assignment we had to create a tryptic that represent diffrent times and three innovations. We had to show how the’ve eveolved over time. Here’s the description of my three pannels! My left panel was representing new ideas in the renaissance. I wanted to show how women, beauty and capturing portraits have change. (Also kinda the use of colour) I showed that in the left panel by using quite a lot colour and the lady in it had a bold coloured dress. I also made sure to look decently regal and proud since women where expected to look more beautiful. I also wanted to show that even poorer people still dressed fancy unlike the Middle Ages. For the capturing portraits of people, I wanted to show that in the renaissance painting where more detailed and boldly coloured. My right pannel is showing traditional ideas in the renaissance. It’s also showing all the same innovations as the right pannel. In this one I was dressed in bland colours and had a scarf over my head to show that women in the Middle Ages where more reserved especially the poorer part of them had more shabby clothes then the rich but in the renaissance poorer people had colourful and flashy stuff. In the beauty part I wanted to show that even people in higher ranks had more reserved clothing then the newer renaissance. For capturing portraits I still did painting as the for but I wanted to show that they had a little less detailed painting. My middle pannel is representing the new ideas from the renaissance affected my world today. I wanted to show how women, beauty and capturing portraits have change. In recent times women’s styles vary from simple to fancy and normally based on your wealth so technically women’s styles are closer to the Middle Ages in classes of beauty. But if we’re talking about ho much beauty matters has gone down. Even though we still have evolved more we still sometimes have outrageous beauty standerds. I think that that is quite insane. We still judge people on how they look? Crazy. Anyways in the photo I’m taking a photo in front of two paintings. In fact those paintings are the paintings that in the other photos where getting painted. Taking a photo is showing the capturing portraits part. Nowadays people are still being painted but the more common option is taking a photo. So that’s my triptych! I think that it’s important to see how we’ve been influenced by the past and how we still run on hundred year old traditions. Through these times that I showed they are all quite similar but you can still see the differences through the ages. I’m happy I got to learn about all these cool times and innovations. Thank you for reading!

 

Here is what I’m going explain more about my learning in this projet

1. How was it made? I made this over two days. I made it because i think that these photos fit

2. Was the learning hard? Yes and no. A lot of the stuff i already knew but i still  learnt a lot!

3. Overall what did you takeaway from this project? I learnt a lot about the renaissance and keeping up with things. I also learned a lot about the diffrent styles and thinking of people back then and how it affects us today.

The driving question was how did ideas from Europe and Asia changed the world. I think I’ve answered it.

What do you think?
