Goals

My goals for the next two weeks since we have a week off are

1. To draw the story bord

2. Draw the character in that will be in the flash

3. Brain storm some new idea

UhOh!

For the past few weeks I have not posted any goals for my projects. I couldn't really think up anything goals I would be able to do in a week. I also did get any goals up because I'm not sure if I'm going to sick to my topic.

Self-assessment

1 The best place for me to learn is at school

2 If I had to study I'd do it in my room

3 My creative work is usually done at my computer desk

4 Working with others depends on who I work with but working with others isn't a strong point for me

5 A combination of listening,looking, and doing is the best way I can learn

6 I don't really have any talent in it but I do like to draw

7 I'm interested in art and video game,some other thing as well but these are the maid two

8 There are very little places in my life where I see my self as being accuracy and precision

9 I'm not usually persistent in my projects but I'm going to try and change that for this project

Material

1. The most important thing I need for this porject is a computer with the flash program

2. I'll need a sketch book, so I can draw out the character in the animation

3. There's not much more I'll need, but I well need to research on the election

Project Essay

As you know if you readed my earlier posts I'm going to create a flash animation for my project. One of the reason I chose to make a flash animation is because I like to draw. I also visit newgrounds.com a lot and on that website they have a lot of cool ainmations, so that's another reason why I chose to do flash.
I know my earlier post was not very clear on what the animation is going to be about. When I first got to Bill's class I was fresh out of you and the media with Ms.Roth, so the first idea in my head was something to do with stereotypes. My project was going to be about the stereotypes that people think of when they see a person of a diffierent nationality.
But I wasn't the only kid who had just which from Ms.Roth, so this idea was not as unique as I thought. Bill said he was tired of hearing about stereotypes. After that I was a little discouraged. I really though that my iead was original and I already had the whole thing plan out.
I soon came to grips with the fact that I had to find a new project idea. It took me a few days to think of something that would be important and reflect the Habits of Mind. My latest idea for the project is a animation of the election thats going on right now. I'm not one hundred precent, but for now my animation is going to be Obama vs Clinton.

The Plan

1. The first step I need to take is to learn how to create a flash animation.

2. I have to come up with a subject for the animation.

3. I also need to draw out the characters that will be staring in the animation by hand.

4. My next step is to learn so animation trick and tips.

5. My final step for the porject is to have it ready for my end of the year portfolio
