Assinment 11: Halloween "what does it MEEN"

Also known as Hallowe'en, Allhallowe'en, All Hallows' Eve, All Saints' Eve. The story of Halloween has many different versions. according to Wikipedia, many scholars have decided that what we know as Halloween started as a christian feast, influenced by catholic festival and other cultures. But according to Wikipedia Other scholars believe that Halloween is only from christian roots, that Halloween is the evening before the christian holy day of all All Hallows' day. meaning they celebrate the day/evening before all the souls that haven't made it to heaven yet complete their trip to heaven. hence the, "walking dead" and "ghost" theme is so popular because it is the day before the dead rise traditionally according to the scholars that Wikipedia got their information from.

Aaron told us a little about the tools he used, he said he used three basic tools. 

The straight blade, the Hook blade, and Bent blade

If he were to carve for example a totem pole, he would use the same tools just bigger.

Depending on where you live depends on the tools you use and how you use them. Aaron said he went to New York to learn their style of cutting and the man their learn from Aaron

assignment 7. The Rule Of Thirds.

 The rule of thirds- Means that an image can be

  imagined as being separated into 9 different parts,     3X3.                                                                           <-- Example                                                    

Points of Power- Exact spot where lines  intersect in the rule of “rule of thirds”

    Example:--->

                                                                        

                                                                 Golden rule: 

                                  The single spot the image is trying to make the vibrant or noticeable,

                  where the lines intersect or meet is usually where the photographer is trying to draw the eye. 

                       Example: the giraffes eye and/or face, the building, and the center of the flower below.

Golden triangle. The picture below 

divided into 3 triangles.   

                                                                                                                                                                 Golden ratio: The four horizontal and vertical lines

                                                                                       making a perfect ratio as seen in the picture above.

Golden spiral: It is different because the line doesn't cross or intersect,

attention is drawn towards the end of the line (Center of the Flower) 

Vertical and Horizontal Lines-Horizontal and lines going across like the horizon

Vertical lines- Go up and down

Oblique Lines-Lines that aren't parallel or perpendicular

Curved Lines- Lines that bend

assignment 6. ACSS Terry Fox Run

The Terry fox run at ACSS Secondary school started with a big assembly including local schools.

At the assembly we watched an inspiring video of Terry Fox, his struggle and fight with cancer and how during this struggle he ran a marathon every day for 143 days with one leg. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First the elementary kids go to line up and get ready.                                          














Then the
 elementary
students are off!
captain america

                                           Then the not so enthusiastic                                                        secondary students get ready.

Then the secondary students start! these are the few who actually ran in the beginning.
