My goal is draw what I saw. The thing that most surprise me is that how the color combine themselves reflecting on the pot, the color is really hard to find and resolve with each other by drawing. My drawing is about reflecting. The most difficult challenge I have to face is the shadow for the bowling balls and how to show that green ball is behind the orange one and not flying in the air. If I can redo, I will have to change the carpet under the pot and the balls, it doesn't look like a carpet in my drawing, I will have to make the strips thinner and thinner, so it will shown to be under. I think the best I did are the shadows on the two bowling balls.Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01513176419050660218noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774611357758347481.post-58272662608520232602016-12-19T20:14:00.000-08:002016-12-19T20:14:03.233-08:00Artists Pages<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My goal is to imitate Janet Fish by using oil pastils. Janet Fish is a realistic artist, so it's hard to imitate. The thing that most surprise me is that she can draw it so similar, so realistic by using oil pants. The most difficult thing I have to face is that, I have to draw such a small part from a very big picture, and the rate is hard to find. If you draw bigger or the wrong part, the whole picture is done, because there are no place to change to move. If I can redo I will measure the size more carefully. I think the best I did is that I mixed the right color from the colors that I had.Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01513176419050660218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774611357758347481.post-4185218645060089622016-11-27T06:25:00.001-08:002016-11-27T06:25:18.785-08:00Challenge #6<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I use the same type of drawing as the pumpkin drawing. I was surprised that the shadow can be this big. This drawing is mostly about shadows and lights. The most challenge is the light on the Chinese food box. I just try my best to draw what I see. I learn that it's better if you do one drawings at one time, don't draw separately. Because I can't find the right angle for the second time. If I had a do-over I would try to find a more interesting shadow and also I would draw the outline first so I don't have to worried about can't find the right angle next time. I like my shadow best in the drawing.</div>

We used charcoals and eraser to accomplished this. The most difficult challenge is to draw the shadows. We used tissue and made the whole drawing dark, then used charcoals to draw the outline, finally get the shadow in side, and also have to be careful that there might be light and dark shadow. I can use the composition to separate the shadows on the back.Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01513176419050660218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774611357758347481.post-6477412128585246692016-10-31T19:31:00.000-07:002016-10-31T19:31:13.882-07:00Chinese decorate<br />

I am just trying to draw the shadows and the decorate. I use 2B F HB draw this. The most surprised me the most is that the frog on the top is very had to draw. This is about shadows and composition. The most difficult challenge is that the details on the decorate. I watch them very carefully and draw them bigger so it's easier to draw details. I learned that there can be a lighter shadow on the outside of the big dark shadow. </div>

My goal is to focus on the shadows on the pumpkin and also the light. I have to darken the part that have deep shadows and erase the part that have light. The things that most surprised me is that how much different I need to make the shadow and the light. My drawing is about shading, shadows, and light. The most difficult challenge I have to face is that my hands are all black when I am drawing this. I just keep on doing it without touching anything. I learnt that the shadow have deep and light, so don't get all shadow very dark. If I can can redo I will change the shadow in the middle of the pumpkin a little bit. I think the best thing is the lights on the pumpkins and the deeper shadow on the end. I like Ivy's drawing, I like how the two sides of the pumpkin have different color.Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01513176419050660218noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774611357758347481.post-75863006445766713202016-10-24T19:51:00.000-07:002016-10-24T19:51:01.340-07:00Challenge #5<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My goal for this drawing is to draw the light and shadow, I look at the word that I made and find the best way that can show the shadows and lights and draw them. My drawing is mainly about composition and shadows. The challenge that I have for this drawing is that I made the word a little bit right on the paper and when I was finding the shadows the best way is to get the shadow slide right, but I can't see the shadow for the part that is out of the paper. I use another paper and put on the side to see the outline and then draw it and then put the paper on the side again and again. I learned that don't use 2H or H pencils to fill in the dark shadow first, because it's going to be hard for 8B, 6B, 4B, 2B to go on top.</div>

101 in. by 74 in.<br />
<br />
evolving values... humanism<br />
deep interest in what people have already achieved, as well as what they are capable of achieving in the future<br />
worldly(secular) values were essential<br />
<br />
"Renaissance Man," "Renaissance Women"<br />

ideas and attitudes about the Renaissance moved from Italy northward<br />
Up north, the classical (Greek and Roman) learning and the humanistic approach was combined with religious ideas<br />
learning spread rapidly, mostly due to one major invention<br />
<br />
The Printing Press (feat. Movable Type!)<br />
the Chinese had invented the printing press centuries before, but Johannes Gutenberg revolutionized it in Germany in 1439<br />
one of the most important and impactful inventions in historyCarolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01513176419050660218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774611357758347481.post-35089356886948564222016-04-28T13:29:00.000-07:002016-04-28T13:29:35.330-07:00Notes on at the CrusadesHoly Roman Empire - Age of Faith<br />

over 500 massive Gothic cathedrals are built 1170-1270<br />
Muslisms is a new religion starts around 100 years ago<br />

Western Wall (Judaism)<br />
<br />
1093 Emperor Alexius Comnenus wrote letter to Pope Urban 2<br />

no trading, cities are crab out<br />
people don't social with each other because other people might hurt you<br />
just tell stories don't know how to read and write<br />
Roman: language that are similar (French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian)<br />
only people know how to read are the rich and priest<br />
no school for children to learn<br />
little houses around the walls are for the little army<br />
rich have farmers, warriors... all people that have different skilled to do everything they need to use.<br />
no Empire, no king just little community<br />
first pretty house - lords house (rich)<br />
second pretty house - Church<br />

- Age of Faith<br />
- Holy Roman Empire is the strongest kingdom in Europe<br />
<br />
Jerusalem<br />
- late eleventh century, Jerusalem was controlled by the Muslims<br />
- Islam's 3rd holiest City<br />
- Holy City to Jews<br />
<br />
The "Holy War"<br />
- Pope Urban 2 put the call for Christians to recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim Turks<br />
- Thus began 200 years of religiously sanctioned military campaigns, from 1095 to 1291<br />
- crusade means "taking of the cross"<br />
<br />
Crusades (almost) Entirely Supported Throughout Holy Roman Empire<br />
- "soldiers of the Church" took vows to take back the Holy Land<br />
- Pope promised those who died in the endeavor would receive immediate remission for their sins<br />

- many Germanic kingdoms that succeeded the Roman Empire were reunited under Charlemagne's empire<br />
- Charlemagne spread Christian civilization<br />
<br />
Setting the Stage<br />
- Middle Ages = medieval period<br />
- AD 476 - AD 1453<br />
<br />
This is a new society<br />
- has roots in<br />
- classical heritage of Rome<br />
- beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church<br />
- customs of various Germanic tribes<br />
<br />
5th Century Germanic invaders<br />
- overrun half of Roman Empire<br />
- causing:<br />
- disruption of trade<br />
- downfall of cities<br />
- population shifts to rural areas<br />
<br />
Effects of Invasion<br />
- decline<br />
- tribes could't read Greek or Latin<br />
- French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian<br />
- few besides priest were literate<br />
<br />
Germanic Kingdoms emerge: AD 400-600<br />
- warriors' loyalty is to the lord of the manor<br />
- he provides them food, weapons, treasure<br />
- result<br />
- no orderly government for large area<br />
- small communities rule<br />
<br />
even so ... Clovis rules the Franks<br />
- Clovis rules Gaul, know as Franks<br />
- 496, battlefield conversion, he and 3000 warriors become Christian<br />
- 511, Franks are united into one kingdom, Clovis and Church<br />
<br />
Spread of Christianity<br />
- Church + Frankish rulers = rise in Christianity<br />
- 520, Benedict writes rules for monks<br />
- vows of poverty<br />
- chastity<br />
- obedience<br />
- sister Scholastica, writes similar rules for nuns<br />
- operate schools, maintain libraries, copy books<br />
<br />
Pope Gregory and Papal Power Play<br />
- Pope Gregory 1 goes secular<br />
- Church revenues are used to help the poor, build roads, and raise armies<br />
- theocracy<br />
- Christendom extends from Italy to England, from Spain to Germany<br />
<br />
Who's Running Europe<br />
- Clovis rules the Franks in Gaul until his death 511<br />
- rest of Europe smaller kingdoms<br />
- descendants include Charles Martel, Charles the Hammer<br />
- Hammer defeats a Muslim raiding party fromSpain at the Battle of Tour in 732<br />
<br />
How do you follow the Hammer<br />
- Charles Martel's son is Pepin the Short<br />
- ling by the grace of God<br />
- Pepin the Short dies in 768<br />
- 1 son Carolina dies in 771<br />
- 2 son Charles, Charlemagne<br />
- six feet four inches of rocking ruling warriors greatness<br />

- Jesus<br />
- comes from the Gospels<br />
- "Gospel" means "good news"<br />
<br />
- Jesus was a Jewish itinerant preacher<br />
- set himself apart from other "Messiahs"<br />
- Jesus taught God's personal relationship to each human being<br />
<br />
- Jesus believe there will be "Messiah"<br />
- Jesus was a threat to Roman rule<br />
<br />
Start spreading the news<br />
- Paul of Tarsus was a Jew who became a follower of Jesus<br />
- Well-travelled, helped found Churches in many places<br />
<br />
- Jews & Christian monotheistic<br />
refuse to worship Roman gods<br />
Problem<br />
- when things began to go wrong for the Roman Empire, Jews and Christians persecuted by Roman authorities<br />
<br />
The appeal of Christianity<br />
- Because<br />
- Embrace all people<br />
- Men AND Women<br />
- enslaved people<br />
- the poor<br />
- gave hope to powerless<br />
<br />
Conversion of Constantine (AD 312)<br />
- Roman emperor has a vision<br />
- sees an image in the sky of a cross and the words<br />
<br />
Edict of Milan in AD 313<br />
- Christianity becomes a religion which is recognized/approved<br />
- By 380, becomes empire's official religion<br />
<br />
Decline of the Roman Empire<br />
- Christianity strengthen, Rome weakened<br />
- Military: too weak to defend huge area<br />
- Economy: takes too high; widening gap between rich & poor<br />
- Social: disloyalty, population decrease<br />
- Political: division of the empire<br />
<br />

- Feudalism, a political and economic system based on land-holding and protective alliances, emerges in Europe.<br />
<br />
Setting the Stage:<br />
- After the Treaty of Verdum, Charlemagne's three feuding grandsons broke up the kingdom even further. Part of this territory also became a battleground as new waves of invaders attacked Europe.<br />
<br />
Invaders Attack Western Europe<br />
800-1000, invasions destroyed the Carolingian Empire. Muslim invaders from the south seized Sicily and raided Italy. 846, they sacked Rome Magyar invaders struck from the east.<br />
- The Vikings Invade from the North<br />
- Vikings set sail from Scandinavia, a wintry, wooded region in Northern Europe.<br />
- Vikings were a Germanic people<br />
- they carried out their raids with terrifying speed.<br />
- they were not only warriors but also readers, farmers and explorers<br />
- Magyars and Muslims Attack from the East and South<br />
- as Viking invasions declined, Europe became the target of new assaults<br />
- the Magyars, a group of nomadic people, attacked from the east, which is now Hungary<br />
- Muslims struck from the south<br />
<br />
A New Social Order: Feudalism<br />
911, two former enemies faced each other in a peace ceremony. Roll was the head of a Viking army. Rollo and his men had been plundering the rich Seine River valley for years. Charles the Simple was the king of France but held little power.<br />
- Feudalism Structures Society<br />
- worst years of the invaders' attacks 850-950<br />
- the system of governing and landholding, called feudalism<br />
- the feudal system was based on rights and obligations, in exchange for military protection and other services, a lord, or landowner, granted land called a fief. The person receiving a fief was called a vassal<br />
- The Feudal Pyramid<br />
- the structure of feudal society was much like a pyramid.<br />
- at the peak reigned the king<br />
- next the most powerful vassals - wealthy landowners<br />
- serving beneath these vassals were knight, knight were counted horsemen who pledged to defend their lords' lands in exchange for fiefs<br />
- Social Classes Are Well Define<br />
- statues determined a person's prestige and power<br />
- three group<br />
- who fought (nobles and knights)<br />
- who prayed (men and women of the Church)<br />
- who worked (the peasants)<br />
- In Europe in the Middle Ages, the vast majority of people were peasants.<br />
- most peasants were serfs, serfs were people who could not lawfully leave the place where they were born<br />
<br />
Manor: The Economic Side of Feudalism<br />
The manor was the land's estate. during the Middle Ages, the manor system was the basic economic arrangement. The Manor system rested on a set of rights and obligations between a lord and his serfs.<br />
- A Serf-Contained World<br />
- peasants rarely traveled more than 25 miles from their own manor<br />
- the manor was largely a self-sufficient community<br />

A lot of them said don't because they don't want to take the test or they want to study for the test. Some of them were going out and Kevin said we've been here for 15 minutes so LET'S GO!! I am just studying for the test and don't care about them, but at lease they called the main office and Mr. Schick were finally back. I thought I can't use my phone to check words during the test but it end up we can use it. There is a word I don't know I was thinking should I asked for the meaning but I just guess the meaning because I thought it's a test I should't do that.Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01513176419050660218noreply@blogger.com0
