The Gossiping Clams EFP 10

In my story ”The Gossiping Clams” there were some trouble-making Clams that sparked up unneeded arguments and negativity between the other animals due to their gossiping mouths. One day Revan finally got so tired of the gossiping of the clams he called in a council meeting with all the animals in attendance. In this council meeting, Revan discussed his frustration against the gossiping clams and with all the animals being like-minded to Revan they all decided a serious change needed to be done to put an end to this problem. By the end of the council meeting, the Beaver was selected to be the animal that figures out the solution to this problem. Beaver spent weeks upon weeks trying to come up with the perfect plan to get rid of the gossiping clams once in for all and he finally had an idea. His plan was to gather up all the clams and take them to the beach where he would bury them deep inside the sand. So he did just that, he took all the clams to the beach with his bare hands and buried them deep in the sand. Beaver’s plan ended up to be a success after the failed gossiping attempts by the clams who would try gossip but would instead get sand and water to rush into their mouths. 

I believe all heritages must have Oral Storytelling as a way to teach and maintain their culture. Without Oral Storytelling cultures and heritages would be bland or even go extinct. I know in my life growing up in Iran majority of life lessons taught to the youth were done through Oral Storytelling to help children build a core memory of the lessons preached to them. Some examples include ”consequences to actions” and ”thinking twice before speaking”. Although stories can be interesting and entertaining to people of all ages. Each culture has its own twist to the stories making it more compatible with where they come from and their norms but at the end of the day, they all help get a certain message across to people of all ages.

3D Arts Inquiry Project

My project’s goal is to reproduce one of Picasso’s outstanding abstract works of art. With this job, I will need to use a lot of creativity to create something completely original employing a wonderful combination of vibrant colors and unique shapes. Picasso’s desire for people to view life in contrast and not merely in a modern sense is a fantastic way to understand his art. To make this piece of art, I had to tap into my creative side and come up with a face with various shapes. To make my artwork look more fascinating and catch your attention, I’ll need to ensure that nothing is symmetrical.

Life Below Water

 

The decline of coral reef habitat, pollution, and significant temperature changes are major risks to starfish.

Some solutions to reef habitation can be…

  • Diving responsibly when you visit coral reefs. …
  • Wearing a reef-friendly sunscreen. …
  • Eating sustainable seafood.

The solutions to pollution and temperature change are mostly like a domino effect. If one is resolved it could help out the other drastically. We can help out by…

  • Walk or ride a bike when possible.
  • Take public transportation.

Sgrafitto Tile Project

Sgrafitto Tile

So my group and I decided to do a Fauna Sgrafitto Tile. My group consists of Steph, Madison, Em, and me.Image

So the vision me and my group had for the Sgrafitto Tile Project was to make a web and have all the different strings on it connect with each other to create a bigger picture. In each tile, the font of the web, the animal, and the world changes and it opens up a bigger door for imagination. Each different web is from a different dimension but when put together all links up to create a cool image.

Each persons process of making the tile was different. Mine wasn’t too smooth. I encountered some roadblocks like clay drying problems and putting on too much underglaze on my tile. To fix my first issue I got a sponge to wet my clay so it could be  smoother in the tile-making process. To fix my second roadblock with putting on too much underglaze, I had to scrape and dust off excess underglaze once fully dried, and do some more touch-ups to the corners.
