The Oval Flower

The Oval Flower

I made this piece with rocks and flowers that I found on the ground of my garden. I like this piece because the colors contrast on each other. I was inspired by the piece of art of Andy Goldsworthy of the leafs the are turned around to make 2 different pieces of art.

What have we been doing??

In the past few weeks we have been working on the clop art animations. A animation clip that we were doing is a video made from pictures. In my group we had Me (Joana), Jacinta and Nao. In the first week we only did the planning of the movie and we came up with the idea of making the story of a boy crossing the street. In the second, third and half of the fourth we made the little people, cars and the background. The fifth and last week we took the pictures and edited. The group worked well and I think that we have is good.

here is a video that i really like.

ART -- WHAT DID WE DO????

Today in Art my group and I finally started to do the film. We couldn’t start in the last 2 lessons because our clay people weren’t ready and our scenery wasn’t ready. So in this lesson we finished really fast the last details of the scenery and has we took the pictures we would see that we needed more people so we would also make more people has we went through. We also made a good process in our work we managed to take 100 pictures. I’m pleased with our process today.

What we need to do next lesson???

Next lesson we need to continue in taking pictures and also start and edit our photos.

Song Evaluation

The song that I chose was Drive By, by Train. The album California 37 (where the song comes from) was released January 10, 2012. The songs style is Pop Rock. The Musicians/Instruments that play the song are:

Charlie Colin: bass, guitars, background vocals; 

Rob Hotchkiss, guitars, bass, background vocals, harmonica; 

Pat Monahan: lead vocals, trumpet, saxophone, percussion; 

Jimmy Stafford: guitars, background vocals, mandolin; 

Scott Underwood: drums, programming, keyboards, and percussion.

The mood of the song is fast with a slow middle 8. The structure of the song is:

1.     Introduction (riff)

2.     Verse 1

3.     Bridge

4.     Chorus

5.     Verse 2

6.     Bridge

7.     Chorus

8.     Middle 8

9.     Verse 3

10.  Chorus

The song starts with a riff and a guitar plays it. The song is about a boy that fell in love with a girl but one night they before she woke up he left. Now he is trying to get her back in a car parade and singing the hook (Oh I swear to you, I'll be there for you, this is not a drive-by). In the song the hook is repeated 6 times (chorus). The song Drive By is a memorable song, I personally like this song because of the lyrics and the introduction. I think that the message of the song was delivered in an effective way. This song was a big hit, I recommend other people listening to this song because it a very cool song. The first time you listen to this song you will want to hear it again, and again, and again.
