​ My element was Born. It's atomic number is 5. Boron got it's name from Borax. Boron was created by heating Borax with potassium heat. Boron is need for a plants cell walls and it's also used for rocket fuel igniter. I got my idea by doing research. When I did my research I found out that Boron is in padlocks and keys , so I based my print off of that.
To make my print I first drew the padlock and key into my artbook. Then, I traced in onto traceable paper and then I traced it onto foam. I then took the foam and I painted overtop of it and placed the painted side on printer paper and smoothed over it with a wooden spoon.
If I did this a second time I would want to find something more interesting that Boron is in so my print could've looked more appealing. The part I liked the most was when were painting the foam print template and transferring it to the printer paper. I liked it because we got to use paint, and i'm a fan of painting.

Positive/Negative Space Cut-out

Posted by Shawn Golden in Art - Freshman on
Negative space is the space around an image. I found negative space by cutting around the main image which left me with the negative space. It helps an artist to see negative space because it adds a cool type of element to the art. Yes, negative space enhances drawings because it helps the image pop!

Remix Slide

Tech Slide #2

    The critique of my slide was to mess around with it more and to change the text so it

could match the shows font. So I took the advice and found better images that I could do more with. I also found a font that matches the shows logo so it could resemble each other. My critique taught me that there was much more that I could’ve done with my slide. I also learned that the things you choose to put in your slide matters.


  I made the changes I did to my slide because once I got the critique I saw problems

with my slide. I realized that the picture I choose was blurry so Iooked for pictures that were better. I also changed the color and the font of my text so it could contrast more since my old slide was bland. Then I found a picture to bleed. That's why I made the changes I did to my slide.


 Research helped me make a better slide because it made me realize that contrast

is important. It also made me realize the font is important. Research also made me realize that bleeding tings is important. I used Presentation Zen as a source. I also used Slide Design for Developers.



Tech Slide

 My slides theme was anime. Anime is something I feel very deeply about and I love!

At one point in my life I had a hard time being happy because a lot of  things were going on in my life  and a friend recommend for me to watch anime because it could be a way to make me happy. For this slide I wanted to give it a clean look. So to achieve this  I went with the empty space type of look. I wanted the corners diagonally across  from each other to be empty. Then to keep the style consistent I put text in the corners that were diagonally across from each other too. I then took a picture of me and my favorite anime character (Obito Uchiha) and erased the background so it could blend in with the background and look clean. Lastly, I made the background white because it brought everything together and gave it a clean finish. I knew  that  color was important to bringing everything together and giving it a clean look so  I choose black for the text and white for the background since my pictures were somewhat colorful.
