Still life

This week in art, I learned how to "still-life draw". I learned that to draw a still-life drawing, you can use non-connecting lines. In my first still-life drawing I drew an apple with a lemon to it's left with an orange and a pear slightly behind it. Although I do not have an image of the fruit picture, I decided to apply my un-connected line skills to make my own drawing. Click HERE to see the picture I drew of "72" the model alien.

Part 3: The Editing

(March 23/24)

Today we started editing our interviews. We realized that some of our interviews were too long so we had to crop them. This meant that we had to crop the interviewers asking the questions and we also had to crop out the student or teacher saying their name, school and occupation. By doing this we lost about 4 minutes total. However, while we were checking the time requirement for the whole story, we found that all 4 interviews would be too much. Finally, we cut 2 of the interviews. Now all we have to do is finish the editing process.

Part 2: The First Interviews

Part 2;

(March 9)
Today in class, we interviewed 2 students. One of the students told us he wants to go to an IV league school and become a doctor, while the other student told us he would be fine with any good college as long as he could grow up to be a lawyer.

(March 13)
Today we realized that there was too much background  noise in our interviews, so we decided to redo the interviews in the closet to make them a lot more sound-proof. However, one of the students from our previous interviews was absent, so we had to seek out a new one. And so we did, but we also got even better results from this newer student interview. This student told us he will stop his education at a high school diploma. His philosophy of college is basically that he thinks that its a waste of time.

Part 1: Research and questions

This is the research that has been done by me and my group members about our news story

(Should people go to college or not).

Interviews:

Administrators: ask them what convinced them to go to college and why

Students: ask them what they are going to do later in life and if they are going to go to college or not

People  who have succeeded in life without going to college

People who have gone  to college but hasn’t succeeded

People  who are in college right now

Mr. Roberto () <== We don't know his college

Rishabh (Harvard or Yale/Doctor) and William (Michigan State/Sports Related Job) @

Mr. Stanton () <== We don't know his college  

@ = interview ready

    

Adult questions:          

What college did you go to?

What convinced you to go to college?

Did you have a plan when in college?

How did college affect your success?

Should all students go to higher education?

Student questions:

Are you planning on going to college?

Why?

What job are you planning on doing?

Why?

What level of schooling did your parents complete?

These questions will be asked to these people during and prior to the interview. We will give interviewees time to think about their answers by giving them the questions beforehand.
