As designers and creators we have endless methods to create art, we can express ourself in any way we want. With interior design you will always find yourself creating new environments, so is a common thought to imagine that a client may ask you to design his/her new living room with a contemporary style, of course, for this design you need to add objects such as furniture in order for the client to have a clear vision of how this space is going to look like. But sometimes objects drawn in one…

It is just another day at school, but actually it is one of the numerous days where children all around the world are sitting down to take the ISAT (in Illinois) nation mandated standardized test. Number two pencils are being sharpened, erasers collected, teachers are passing out booklets and answer keys, anxiety is a built up emotion that surges throughout the air.

about why John’s skin is fairer than Kumar or why Wong Mei Choo has slanted eyes, they know better not to let those issues come in the way of the adventures of playing hide and seek and giving each other silly nicknames and of course, battling in the eraser…

Student Work Samples The first piece of work I have gathered from Kayson’s classroom teacher is a morning phonics worksheet. Each morning when the students arrive at the classroom they are instructed to complete their morning work while they are eating their breakfast. During this time, the classroom paraprofessional assists the students and the teacher tries to complete individual reading/spelling assessments. This phonics worksheet was given in late April as a review worksheet. On this…

A is for Art The pencil screeched as I drew on the canvas. Carefully examining my work, I wiped the eraser shavings off the paper. The many styles and mediums of art allow for change and variety while making art, rather than consistently working on similar project. Art has been enjoyable in my life, since it gives me a chance to express and design what I think and feel on paper. Being able to draw is handy in life, whether to draw a sketch of something, making a project for school, or showing…

Learn, Discover, Think, and Try Here comes the end of this semester, and I really would like to reflect on my journey during the writing class. In the past three months, I feel like I have accomplished a lot not only as a student but also as a writer. From the textbooks, meta texts, assignments, readings, and multimodal texts provided this semester, I had the chance to read and learn a great variety of essay genres. These materials are so useful that helped improve my writing skills a lot. In…

skin colored mound on my toe. It didn’t hurt when I walked on it or if I touched it. When it first grew I didn’t know it was a wart I just thought it was a random spot on my foot. Over a couple weeks it got bigger. It got to the size of about an eraser on a pencil. I was laying on the couch and my mom noticed it on my toe. So the next day we went to the doctors to check it out. We learned that I had a wart on my toe. The doctor wanted to schedule an appointment soon because it was a wart that…

For my site of research I have chosen a daycare center, for which I was given permission by the director. The name of the daycare is Alpha Fundamental Pre-School. The entity that I am interested in is there after school program, for which I have ask for the eldest group available. The older after-school children were actually kept in the lower part of the school: a beautiful decorated wall of colored colorings of student’s works, drawings, a finished and glued (what looks like 5,000 piece)…

supermarket can you get me a few things?”. “Sure,” he said. I then gave him a long list saying thanks a lot. Please get a new shaving gel, a pair of scissors and today's newspaper for my father. A soft drink and some fries for my mother. A pen, a pencil, an eraser for my brother, and a notebook for me. I told him that I'd pay him after he gets me the things. Jimmy said, “Ok, I'll get you the things within half an hour.” As he was leaving, I smiled looking at him knowing very well that he'd…
