HIERARCHY

Hierarchy is basically the first thing you see in a picture or an image. It’s usually a bright color or the biggest picture in it. When you look at a photo the first thing you usually see is the center or the design so the hierarchy is usually located in the middle. This is an example of a hierarchy.

Balance

14oakgrove14 — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:07:16 +0000

Balance is a very important tool in everyday life. we need balance in our life or else we wouldnt know what was good and bad. We need balance in what we eat and what we do. If we always have too much fun then we wouldnt appreciate it near as much. The same goes for everything we do. It goes with school, we shouldnt have too much or to little school bc then our lives would be a little unbalanced. just like in newtons laws of motion it says that every action has an equal but opposite reaction. If you take the time to think about everything that takes balance to run its amazing.

collaboration

Collaboration is all about working together and coming up with idea’s. We use this everyday in simple things we dont even think about. Coming up with something to cook is collaboration and deciding when you want to go to bed is also. Collaboration is a great tool to use when you are working for a company who has to come up with new things to do or any idea’s that need to be thought up.

critique

14oakgrove14 — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:41:55 +0000

For the next few days im going to be talking about critiquing others. The thing that i would be most comfortable critiquing someone in would be how to be a baseball pitcher. All my life i have been tought how pitch and all the little technical rules. So because my Dad was a pitcher growing up i have the abilities to be a great pitcher. I have gone to all different kinds of pitching coaches, so i would notice if they messed up even a little step.

confidence

There are a few different things I am confident in. most being socializing and sports. I’ve played sports my whole life, ever since i could walk and talk. A sport I’ve always played was basketball. Although my favorite sport is baseball I still love basketball. Confidence doesnt just have to be things you do. It can be expressed in so many ways. It is expressed in the way you dress, in what you eat, and in the way you act.

Aesthetic

When i think of the word “aesthetic” i think of something beautiful. Such as a flower or a rainbow, or something even as simple as the outdoors on a suny day. I am going to draw a picture of i pink flower that i made to describe the meaning of aesthetic

desktop publishing.

14oakgrove14 — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:37:52 +0000

For the last few weeks I’ve been taking desktop publishing. At first i didnt really want to be in this class bc I didnt know a whole lot about computers and i would have rather get other required calsses over with, but as the year has gone on I’ve learned to like it. I have learned alot about computers and other technical stuff and im glad i took it.

I think everyone should be required to take the coarse, beacause it teaches us how to use the computer better. The only thing that i dont think we need to do is the book work. I dont think the book work is a good idea because we do that in everyother class and since we have the compouters in here i think we should use thema little more.

The fact that we’re even writing this says alot. This class is more than just learning about computers it helps with other classes like english, art, and other classes that have to do with technology. This class is also a great stress releiver. Although this is a graded coarse it isnt at stressful as subjects such as math and english and biology.

music.

14oakgrove14 — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:35:57 +0000

Music is a big part of my life, along with many other teenagers. Teenagers listen to all kinds of music. Over the next few weeks ill be talking about different types of music and how it effects your lifestyle.

The type of music i listen to all depends on what mood im in. If im excited or happy then i’ll listen to uplifting music. If im grumpy and in a bad mood then i’ll listen to music that reflects that. This can also be reversed so that you can listen to somethind and take in the mood of the song.

Music can take your mind away from wordly items and thoughts. It allows you to think and ponder your mistakes and what you need to do to be a better person or just to improve. Music is a great way to pump up yourself or get you in the mood for a big game.

Although music is a great thing it doesnt need to be listened to ALL the time. If you do listen to it the music needs to be clean and not cuss. Because what you listen to is what your going to say. This is what i personaly think on the subject of music and what teans listen to.

safe driving

14oakgrove14 — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:42:20 +0000

When your driving you must be very careful. There are serious injuries that can come from being reck lace and not caring. When driving always buckle up. Over the next few days ill be talking about driving and what to do and what not to do.

When driving, try to avoid any use of your cellphone. cell phones are really dangerous they take your focus away from the road. This can cause serious injury for you and anyone you hit or wreck with. It isnt safe to drink or eat while your driving either. So pretty much give the road and yall of your surrounding your full attention.

When your driving its east to get focused on something else like the radio or passengers. The radio does not need to be very loud it causes your mind to wonder. This causes you to lose focus on what your doing. Passengers, especially kids, can be very distracting.

These are a few things about being a safe driver. A smart driver would always pay attention there surrounding and obey the law. If the speed limit is 40 only go about 35 it is much safer and its better to be safe than sorry.
