Art and Technology

For the Xerox project, I only used what was on my face to make my project. I made about 7 copies of my face from the Xerox machine and then I decided what to do after I made the copies. At first, I had a completely different idea and was going to use my face and hands with something. Then I saw that we were doing it on art movements so I started to research some. The most interesting one that I found was cubism or cubist. The most famous artist that used this type of technique in his art was Picasso. After I went through some of his artwork I picked out my favorite pieces and tried to be inspired by that. So with my project, I ended up cutting out pieces of my eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth. After that, I taped it over one of the copied pictures that didn't turn out very well. As you can see from the pictures above you can kind of see how I did things. I actually liked doing this project I thought that it was very interesting and fun. I kind of wish I would've

  For my grid project, I decided to make a rainbow. I was having a conversation with my friends and someone mentioned that there was going to be a pride parade in Tampa next weekend. This is what gave me the idea to make a rainbow. So for my project, the supplies I got was a poster board, paint, a magazine, froot loops, and cotton balls. The first thing that I did for this project is cut my poster board so it wasn't too big. Then I painted the background blue. After seeing the background I thought that it was too boring and wanted to add more to it. So, I got a magazine and anything that was blue in it, I cut it out. I broke the pictures into smaller pieces and taped it over the paint. I liked how this looked a lot better after. Next, I separated the froot loops into the different colors and glued those down in the ROYGBV order. Lastly, I added cotton balls for the clouds.

The flip book I created was about the ocean. I decided to do different things that had to do with ocean and ocean life. I added in sea life, boats, and fishing. I decided to do my flip book on the ocean because of my past trip during Spring Break. For spring break I went to Mexico and I spent a lot of my time hanging out at the beach so I decided that the ocean/beach would be a fun topic to do my flip book on.

21st Century Technology: Self-driving trucks    As a lot of us know, automation will be taking over the world in the future. For those that don’t know what automation is, it’s technology by which a process or procedure is performed without human assistance. The type of automation I wanted to focus my paper on is self-driving cars. More specifically, self-driving tesla semi trucks. The reason why I wanted to talk about this is because this is a big idea that people have started creating and I think it will be the future of our cars with this new technology. There are both pros and cons to having self-driving cars. A pro is that it can give more jobs to people. As technology in our world becomes better it is able to give people more jobs in the engineering field for example. Something that Tesla caught was that there’s a driver shortage with truck drivers. That way they can fill those spots with the self-driving trucks. Also, trucking is a very brutal job. People have to stay away
