Exhibition

     In the spring exhibition, me and Mackenzie made a presentation about “Constructing Creative Communication”. We did this project in November and December, it is about communicating by taking photos and drawing pictures. We present our works and understanding of the project. We have 6 pages about what we have done in the project, they are perspective, mood, apps, doodling, using colors, and shading. I need to present the perspective, mood, and shading.

     Perspective is a skill which makes drawing more complex and interesting. My drawing is a picture of my school.

 

     Mood is to express a mood in photos. I took a photo of a chair in the park and tried to express Tense tendu.

 

     Shading uses different shapes and shadows to make the drawing more realistic. I have drawn two caps with shading skill.

 

     In conclusion, I think I did a good job of being confident in speaking to the audience. I hope I can do better in the future.

New Beginnings

     In the unit New Beginnings, I learned about the history of New France and advertising skills, and I made an ad for the fur trade. The driving question is “What did the establishment of New France mean for all people involved?” My answer for the driving question is that the French established fur trade relations with the First Nations. The French got benefit from this, but many First Nations died because of trade with the French (because of disease). This is my answer, because the topic I chose is the fur trade. 

Revised Seycove Ad Challenge:

     It is the first project I did in New Beginning. I didn’t really learn anything about New France in it, but I reviewed the advertising because the final project in New Beginnings is about making an ad for New France. I made an ad about propaganda seycove together with my teammates, we have two drafts of the ad. I write about the many advantages in seycove and the address and contact information of seycove. I don’t have the first one on my iPad, but this is our final draft

Nature Photography Practice:

     I take photographs in the woods for the base of my visuals. I take many pictures, but I think this is the best one.

Learning Reflections

    A reflection of what people have learned in a week, like knowledge about advertising and New France. I have written 3 of them.

Trade Simulation

    The students were divided into three groups: the English group, the French group and two Indian groups. I was in one of the Indian groups. We simulated the new French fur trade and wrote tables about our group. The simulation is really fun, and it is my favorite project in new beginnings.

Visuals pitch

   In the first draft of the visuals, I made two pictures about the fur trade. First is trading, another is after trade.

New Beginnings Two Visuals

It is a thing that explains the evidence of the visuals.

Final images

It is a final draft of the visuals.

In the unit New Beginnings, I learned a lot of knowledge about Canadian history, they will be useful in the future .
