Ten Seconds Left
(Stoni, Kosi, Derrick, Mark, Gurvin)

Lesson Plan
LOVE IS LOVE

(Becca Barron, Brian Bolanos, Sydney Menack, Scott Patchan, Kyle Cunningham, Irene Castro, Lorenzo Lingard)

Two princes were in love and got engaged.  Harry’s father did not approve of the two mens love.  He did not want Jackson and Harry to be wed.  Jackson’s mothers were thrilled with the engagement and very supportive of the two young men.  Harry could only turn to his trusted pet cow for advice on how to proceed.  At the end, the two men were married after deciding that their happiness was the most important thing.  Harry’s father did not attend the wedding, but his trusted cow would not have missed for the world.  The two men lived happily ever after.  The end. 


We would use this lesson plan for senior high school students in Acting I.  
FRIENDS
(Cydney, Danielle, Jarred, Julia, Laryssa)

Danielle, Cydney, and Julia are BFFLS. Laryssa is also in their friend group, but constantly finding herself left out. Laryssa is more into schoolwork and soccer. Danielle, Cydney and Julia like to gossip and are Instagram famous. Laryssa is nice to everyone at school and well-liked. Laryssa is best friends with Jared. They do everything together. Jared and Danielle have been dating for 3 months now. However, Julia sent Danielle a picture last Friday of Jared and Laryssa flirting. Danielle then meant to send a snapchat of the photo saying “Laryssa is a man stealer.” She meant to send the snapchat to Cydney and Julia only – but the snapchat accidentally was posted to her story for 4 hours before she noticed. Laryssa’s feelings were deeply hurt, and the girls had to apologize. Danielle did not mean to make Laryssa feel poorly – however technology can truly hurt peoples feelings if used in the wrong way.

Photography: Shape, Line, Texture, Pattern and Deasign

Image
Design: Shape  is everywhere. It is often the first thing you see when you look at a scene, whether you are consciously aware of it or not. In art (and  photography ),  shape  is one of the six classic design elements, which also includes line, form, texture, color and space. Lines  can significantly increase the impact of images.  Lines  serve to affect photographic composition in two ways. First, they serve to create a mood. Second, they lead the eye through the  photograph . Texture depends on magnification. So, zooming into a surface that appears insignificant at first can reveal unsuspected textures. Pattern  is a powerful way to bring attention to repeated shapes. If the frame is inundated with the same repeated shape one may be able to create a powerful statement.

Conceptual Art: Ana Mendieta's Merging with Nature

Image
CONCEPTUAL ART Conceptual art, sometimes simply called conceptualism, is art in which the concept or idea involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic, technical, and material concerns. In other words, it is art in  which the idea presented by the artist is considered more important than the finished product, if there is one. ANA MENDIETA ------------------------ Students' Nature Art Sushi's Day Off A domesticated animal is exploring wilderness for the first time. He chose this tree and jumped up on it, not as dog, but in the way a person would. The piece represents the way modern societies attribute human qualities to animals, specifically pets, denying them the possibility to interact with nature. (Alyssa, Cydney, Amy, Chloe, Cervinho) ----------------------------- Strength The small aerial roots - which look small but are actually strong - all serve a purpose, which is to support the greater good the tree repre
