recyclinggg
What do these pictures represent? His pictures represent American waste and the problems in society.
What do these images convey to us? They convey an image of uselessness and need to recycle and not trash our world.
How are these images supposed to make us feel? They are supposed to disgust us and make us want to take action.
Why do you think that the artist chose to create these photographs? I think he created these pictures to make people see the problems and understand that it is not just something we can forget about to make it go away.
How hard do you think that it was to create the photos? I suppose it was pretty easy, if his cause is as important as he thinks it really is, and in some of the pictures (mainly the cell-phone ones) it is obvious that he just went to a company and asked to used them as they are all exactly the same.
Spend about 15 minutes writing about one picture, and describe the problem that you think that it represents. Recycling Yard #5, Seattle 2003 44x52"- is extremely pretty. The problem that it is trying to bring to life is the waste of paper and normal goods in our society. As far as most of his photography goes, I disagree with it, including this picture. Many of his things are very beautiful, but he goes so far to set them up, as well as taking a simple small picture and reproducing it over and over again to make a large picture (he said himself that he did this in an interview). Yes, there is a problem in our society, but many times recycling is not the way to go. It creates more air pollution and danger in many instances, as well as many things (paper) being made exclusively from trees that are grown exclusively to make paper, so he is creating problems that do not exist. Many of his pictures do not say anything at all. They are just beautiful and he just finds them- the things that he sets up are not as successful as the work he actually creates. I guess they can be just loosely related together and he can call it a collection. I respect his work and talent as an artist, I just don't think he actually has any clue what he is trying to say and used the cause of recycling and problems in the world as a vehicle to success and money. He needs to get over himself and come down off of his self-righteous throne, while realizing that he is not the savior of our society.

MLA partner discussion
Julia and I talked about our papers. We decided that they both meet MLA standards and thought it was cool that we didn't use times new roman, and still each picked different fonts (i used tahoma and she used arial). We also found that we were both a little confused about the TEKS thing at the bottom and guessed that adding that to the bottom of the bibliography probably doesn't meet MLA, but we did it anyway.
Powerpoint, Open Office Impress & IBM Symphony
Well, we attempted this project, but we couldn't find Symphony and didn't want to download Impress (we didn't know if we were allowed to, so we didn't try). What I know is that they are all types of presentation processing software that allow you to create a visual presentation including sound and pictures. Powerpoints' tools are pretty simple to learn and use, but you cannot easily switch to different projects, while in OpenOffice you can, which is nice. I do not know anything about IBM Symphony.

required blog 10/18
i think my paper might be late. i wouldn't be if i wasn't such a perfectionist and just basically elaborated on my outline, but no, i couldn't possibly do that.
what i can do is listen to every song that i have of def leppard as loud as possible because they are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm am doing my job by posting up due dates and further working on the calendar for this class. I am also working on my 2nd six weeks project presentation.
my TEKS are the completing all work in a timely fashion (or trying to...) and creating a project.

required blog 10/17 also, blog 14
yesterdays quiz counted as my 10/16 blog.
today we are not doing anything because the sophomores and juniors are taking the PSAT. all the freshman boys (the freshman football team) are at the computer next to me and i have decided that the class of 2012 has something against showering and wearing clean clothes. it makes me sad for the future.
i am working well with others (following the TEKS) today by informing the kids that they smell bad and hopefully they will listen and it will help them further on in life.

job log 02
Make sure to look at bjerke's blog. The due date for your paper is now due tomorrow and also includes a bibliography and TEKS interpretation. Today you also need to do the 10 question quiz required for this class and make sure you are doing your job.
required blog 10/15
i am getting behind on my blogs. and i missed 10/14 so, i am not going to do a blog for 10/14.
but 10/15 i just didn't have time. yesterday i worked on my paper, which i am very thankful that the due date was changed for and i worked on my job or formatting community service daily credits and describing the final responsibilities for each job. i got a lot done, but i keep running out of time. i am a little annoyed because i actually have excellent time management skills and there are too many requirements for this class that have due dates coming up all together. i just feel like in order to do well (to my standards of completeness), i have to spend so much extra time on things. i really care about and know a lot about my subject and want it to be really good. it just sucks that i have more homework for this class than any other.
i suppose that i am working on the time management TEKS.

QUIZ blog
1. What are three things that you are doing in class right now? In class we are working on our 2nd six weeks project, writing blogs everyday and doing the work associated with our job (documentation manager).
2. What is your paper about? My paper is about careers in technology, relating to the art aspect found in theatre.
3. Why do you think that we are writing these papers? (your opinion is not relevant to the response, you need to explain the cause or reason) We are writing these papers as a checkpoint for our project as well as updating the class on our subject.
4. Name five things that define MLA standards. MLA standards include double spacing between lines, 1 inch margins on all sides, 1/2 inch indentations, right hand top corner page numbers and a specific title page format.
5. Why do you think that we are using MLA standards? MLA standards are those accepted by most colleges and the way we will have to write school papers. Also, MLA is the easiest way to give credit for other sources.
6. What two parts were added to your paper yesterday? As of yesterday, our paper must now include a bibliography and a TEKS section.
7. What have you learned in the last week? I have learned how to use Zoho writer, and that to pass this class and get your job done, you must work outside of class to finish all the essays and assignments, as you must tun everything in to pass and a lot of things are either a 100 or a 0, like this quiz...
8. What is one thing (be specific) that you want to learn in the next week. Within the next week I want to gain a good understanding of the open source software that i need to learn in order to so well on my project and demonstrate to the class.
9. What one thing do you think is the most important thing to keep in mind when you begin creating a presentation to give to the class? The presentations that go along with our projects must first be well organized so that it is easy for the class to follow while still getting all of the information presented.
10. What is one thing that you did not understand in the last two weeks (be specific)? I didn't understand the purpose of writing an essay on our topic so soon when we haven't really had time to work on the project and had just turned in an outline/ summary the school day before. Other than that, I understand everything.

required blog 10/11
so, today we made 2nd 6 weeks project outline.
i learned how to email in and out from zoho reader and how to share and compile documents between the different job lists.
i worked a lot on researching my different technologies for my project and learned how to use some of the open-source software (sketch-up) that i have found technology careers in theatre. i also worked on subscribing and becoming a member of more theatre blogs - not that i needed to be a member of any more...

required blog 10/10
today i met with the group responsible for setting up the number of community service credits for each job. i worked with a lot of people that i do not usually interact with and we created an outline for how this process is going to work- like our teks outline.
i also learned that people need to leave other peoples responsibilities alone.
also, ben knaplund entered our class today.

required blog 10/9
it is really 10/10, but i dont know if my blog yesterday for this class counted. So, what i learned yesterday was teamwork - in the teks it i described as working together to achieve a common goal. i worked with my documentation manager assistants to see how we are going to log our jobs, so i think we have gotten farther on our work.
i did not work on my project outline for this six weeks, however i am pretty sure that it will have something to do with... theatre.
imagine that.

blog 11.
i didnt get home until 1.15am yesterday.
then i washed clothes and did homework and showered.
the show went well though and i am really proud of everybody, especially our non-theatre people (aron) and i know it is going to go even better tonight (we will get the lights and sound correct).
i actually managed to finish all the work for this class and most of my other classes, except that i completely bombed my latin test. i cried. i hate being so depressed about stupid crap like that.
i love tom landry and kip and everybody and tatum(feel better soon).

metamorphoses
there isnt much i can say about it that you havent already read in my blog, because i have pretty much whined about it this entire time... but, it now is amazing. there is a free student viewing tomorrow night at 8pm and then it runs for the next two weekends thurs-sat @ 8pm and sat-sun@ 2pm.
it is a show in a pool. with rain. and half-naked girls (and guys) and it is historically and mythologically based, so you might ask your history and english teachers if they will give you extra credit (they usually do for our shows).
it is going to be the best thing in your whole life up to this point.

i am tired of not getting blog points.
so, this is the link to the online document processor that i use and have never had a problem with, but someone has already shown it to Bjerke, so i wont get the points for it. it blows.
i guess i am going to find another one...

need a nap. (blog 06)
i am so tired i could crawl in a hole and die. but i wont. working on 4/5 shows at the same time is the worst idea ever, especially when you dont get a break in between finishing one and getting back to work on the pool for another two minutes later. sucks.
even the free starbucks doesnt make it better. thats sad.
it is going to be a really really good show though.
i am so behind on all of my homework, with three tests and project due today, which is so not going to happen.
"so have sex with him" is only a figure of speech. i promise.
the air conditioning is off in the whole school. it may be partly my fault. i though the smoke detectors were covered up in the theatre....
i want to go to new york.
i am so tired that none of this is even coherent. im sorry. i will try again later.
the pool is finished. hopefully.
