Work I Am Proud of.

Some work I feel proud of over the course of this humanities semester is the most recent project we have just completed, which is the H2O project. With this work I feel I put a lot of time and effort into not only the writing aspect of it, but the final product which is a painting of a crab I did across to different size canvases. When looking at the painting you can notice the attention I paid to detail when actually painting the crab. Adding the aerosol component was just as difficult even though it only covers less than a quarter of the painting. Having the extreme steady hand to be able to guide the pressure from the can to lay of the perfect layer of paint to imitate dirty water and sand fly across the canvas. Along with the artist statement going through at least 5 drafts taking the level of my writing to the highest quality it could possibly reach.

A rough draft of the final product for the H2O project in Humanities class.

The other project I am proud of from this past semester is the American icon project. The final result was a picture and artist statement. I liked this project because I had to use a program am I am semi similar with which is Photoshop CS2. in the picture I had to mock a picture of the icon which I chose. It just happened to be banksy so I found a picture of him next to a wall seemingly spraying his trademark stencil. The only aspect of the picture that was not Photo shopped was me. The background and stencil were all modified on Photoshop to match the picture. Without examining the paper completely you would not be able to see I edited the photo. Within the artist statement I went through three drafts, not quit as many as other projects but enough to accomplish writing that is at the level of an 11^th grade student.

Who is Right?

when reading the article about Paul Watson and Neptune's navy i started agreeing with him. because if whaling for the sake of study is not banned than its OK. but as i says in the article on page 2 paragraph one the Tokyo research group has virtually produced zero results. seeing how they killed thousands, wouldn't you get at least one new fact.

the most important thing i feel that is coming from this is how strong one man is in his beliefs. standing up and protecting the sea's when an organization who is supposed to do that doesn't. the international whaling commission (I.W.C) doesn't seem to find it a big deal and with Watson looking over the mammals of the ocean since it is a lawless and there really isn't any laws if he doesn't do it no one will.

especially when the picture looks like this


which i might add isnt a pretty sight.

Enlgish Language Evolving...

Responding to the first question is it time for a language to move on. I my thoughts contradict each other quiet frequently on this topic because when you think of the terms people use today it doesn’t phase them as much as it would have if we were living in a time when people were fighting for rights to equality. we all know these terms so I do not need to mention any.

when talking about classifying some one with a single race usually being the majority of what they are. i feel this is easier when it comes to feeling out a survey or doing the S.A.T. because if you included every race known to man kind it would be at least two pages of paper that could have been saved.

the side i agree with how ever though would have to be using terms. this is because you could randomly be walking down the street and over hear someone calling someone a "dirty Mexican" which is wrong but to a group of friends who talk like that it is normal. Since the issue of biracial came up it just becomes a phrase that someone uses just like, "seeing a man about a horse." it loses its real meaning. and changes over time.

If language never progressed then people would be speaking Old English and I personally think that would be weird. the point of human nature is to "change," like Obama says. over time this happens and when it does we get new inventions and new ideas to help the less fortunate.

just like advancements in every other area of life, language should follow as well. just like it has been. so terms that were created to inuslt or make some one smile can change and take on a hole new meaning. this is sometimes good and bad. it is up to you to decide.
