Poetry with Mr.Ott

        Today in English, we had the privilege of having Mr.Ott as a substitute teacher. During our class time with him, he began to teach us about poetry. He taught us what poetry was and discussed what he liked about it. He also demonstrated the incredible feat of memorizing a seven and a half page long poem. I believe that I learned a lot by him coming to our class. It was a very interesting experience.

Attack of the Randomness

I don't like it. That's what I thought the entire time I watched the video. Usually when watching something, I tend to keep an open mind, but this video was just too crazt. On a scale of randomness from 1 to 10 this video got 1,000. It was hard to comprehend what was going on and the beat of the music did not help at all. The only way you'll like this is if you like D.J. robotic cowboys and female ninjas.

Fedex!

This is probably the best video I've seen in English yet. It had all the elements of a good video like action and humor. The people who made this video must have been very creative to think of a story like this of galactic mailmen who battle each other in order to deliver a package. This video is definetily worth watching if you enjoy intergalactic battles.It kind of reminded me of Futurama with the space delivery part. Too bad Bender wasn't in it.

Creepy Vid

I think that this video is truly awesome. Even though many of my classmates had mixed feelings about it, I still think it was genius. Everything in this video seems to go well together like the music and the animation. The music sounded demented and creepy which I thought was better than the previous video Sing Sang Sung. The animation in the video showed a lot of unusual things  like heads being swallowed up and geese being shot. All and all, this video is worth watching if your into unusual and creepy stuff. If not then you'll probably have nightmares.

Banksy

In English class I had the pleasure of seeing one of Banksy's most iconic pictures. This picutre showed a man about to throw a banquet of flowers instead of a grendade or other projectile. I think that this picture has a lot of symbolism in it, such as the man being colored balck and white while the flowers were bright and colorful. This might represent that people should try to spread peace instead of war and violence. Remember that thats my interpretation of it and that there are many others.

Sorry I'm Late

I think that this video is really cool. It must have taken a huge amount of time to film because it is a stop motion video. I believe that it is possible for me to make one, but it would take me forever and I would soon become impatiencent. That is probably the main reason why I wouldn't want to make something like it. I also noticed that it looks like it took many people to pull this video off and it would be hard for me to find anybody willing to do it.

Mask Designs

Designing and painting my mask was a real pain in the butt. First, I had to think of the design which took forever. The next thing I did was paint my mask entirely blue ,but the problem with that is it looked really bad because the paint smeared. Later after thinking of what I could do, I decided to paint my mask over again with white paint. The next thing I did was try to paint it green because I had the idea to make it look like the Brazilian flag. Another problem ocurred when the geen paint couldn't stick to my mask because the white paint I used at school contained latex. The next thing I did was go to the store to buy gesso which helped make my mask paintable again. Lastly, I began painting again and was able to finish my mask. I am VERY happy that it turned out ok.
