          For this assignment, my group members and I chose to create our video about where you shouldn't eat during Power 50.  After someone randomly pitched an idea to walk into carpet, hit an invisible barrier, and their food flew everywhere while they fell over. We worked around that idea, and our video continued to reflect the idea throughout the project.       While storyboarding, we planned from the start to film in the events entrance. We built our idea around the area where the tile turns into carpet, and having our subject step over the line. I was the director, and I learned that a project isn't always going to run smoothly. Our major setback was the fact that some of our actors couldn't return for reshoots, leading to continuity errors so we re-filmed the entire video.       Editing went well and I actually finished in one class period. The time constraints were a bit difficult to work around so I couldn't add all of the shots in that I wanted to.

Relief Printing Relief printing is the ability to print using raised images to transfer ink onto paper. To print, artists tone the block using a wash of jet black film ink. Then they used iron oxide or carbon transfer paper to transfer the image. Using cutting tools such as wood, linoleum or metal, cut the image. Then, carefully apply and spread the ink onto the image. Lastly, use a brayer to apply pressure, then remove the print. Intaglio Intaglio is a process of an image being carved under a flat surface. In order to do Intalgio, your plate must be clean and polished. Then smoke the plate so  that it is jet black. After, stratch the ground of the plate to reveal metal, which the etching later rids of. Then apply ink to the plate. Lastly, set a damp piece of paper on the plate and run it through the press. Lithography Lithography uses ink, water, and grease to print an image. First you use a greasy tool like oil or fat to draw your image on the stone. C

Summer Travels       It's June 19th, the day we planned to leave for our annual trip to Michigan, the first stop on our summer of traveling. It was a long and bumpy car ride and it smelled like wheat fields for the majority of the journey north. When we arrived to our destination, Ludington, Michigan, I was welcomed by the familiar sight of tall green trees and the lake that looks like an ocean. My sister and I race to the beach and I'm the first to feel the warm sand on my feet. The rest of our family begins to arrive as the days go by, and sooner than we know it, it's our last day. Epworth Heights, Ludington, Michigan               Our next stop was Orlando, Florida. On July sixth, we departed from Grand Rapids, Michigan. The plane ride was exactly like the car ride, it seemed to take forever because of excitement building up and the turbulence was the worst I've experienced. The next day, we woke up early and took an Uber with the best free chocolate t
