For my assembly, I went over all the posts I have created on my website. I then decided that I would assemble my drawing in […]
Easy A
For this sketch I decided to recreate the image from the Easy A movie cover. For the picture, I borrowed my friends yellow shirt. Then I tore a piece of paper from one of my notebooks and wrote down, “The rumor-filled totally FALSE account of HOW I RUINED my flawless reputation” as similarly as I could …
256 Points: Tennis Ball
For this sketch I decided to draw an image of a tennis ball. I used the software Paint which I downloaded on the app store. Because the image was so small it was difficult to paint details from the image. For example, I couldn’t draw smaller lines such as the white lines on a tennis …
A Human Document
I found this sketch really interesting and different. Normally when reading a page from a book I am trying to understand what the narrator is trying to tell me as a reader. But, with this assignment I was seeing what I wanted to say with the words on the page. This made me look at …

For this sketch, I decided to take visual notes from a lecture from my Introduction to Media Studies class. Creating my visual notes was a very different type of process for me than the way I normally take notes. It required a lot more thinking and decision making. When I normally take notes I am …

For this episode on Media Nouveau, I was the producer, Jake was the assistant producer, and Andres was the line producer. Because I was the producer I selected the topic we would be talking about. I knew I wanted to pick a form of media that had to do with food and that a lot …
Technology Usage
For my data visualization sketch I collected data on the amount of technology I use in a day. While completing this assignment I realized that I use my computer to do school work much more than I thought I did. On Monday and Tuesday I spent over 6 hours studying on my computer. This could …
Escape
For my mixtape, I decided to make a running playlist. As much as I love running I need motivation to do it and keep me going once I start. For that reason, I decided to only pick songs which encourage and excite me. Running provides a certain escape for me that no other activity does. …
