Golden Barrel by Hamza

Image
Today I researched prickly pear and golden barrel cacti. Golden Barrel Cactus has yellow flowers that dry up for part of the year.  You can tear one of the dry flowers off and you will find an old (fermented) fruit at the bottom.  You can tear this fruit apart and find seeds.  You can plant more Golden Barrel Cacti with these seeds. Prickly Pear Cactus is a plant that can sometimes grow really tall.  The Prickly Pear is entirely edible.  The fruit is very healthy.  It can help with diabetes and hangovers. Next week: My goal for next week is to make a model of these two cacti out of LEGOs.

Progress in Photoshop by Aya

Lovely Stiff Fabrics

Image
By Emi   Some stiff fabrics are used as the overlay of a gown. Good for draping, prone to water staining, and lovely for showing off the figure.   Taffeta       Taffeta is a stiff fabric that can be made of polyester or silk. Its unique stiffness and sheen  is created by weaving red thread (picture as example) and stiff metallic thread. Horse Hair  Unlike Taffeta, Horse hair fabric is used to stiffen skirts and trains. It's often used in crinolines,  fanning out when pleated and stacked. The crinoline you are most familiar with is probably the cage crinoline.    See ya'll next time! You can see the chemise that is going with my ball gown, and all of the lace I am hand stitching on! 1890's sewing techniques and everything...

Photoshop Project

Image
By, Daniel:  This week I've completed my Sci-Fi/Video Game image, which is a cross between a first-person shooter, Star Wars, an evil robot, and an escape game. Although you cannot actually play the game itself you can look at what it would be if it were an actual playable game. I completed all of the goals I've made for myself over the weeks, and I understand (most) the tools in Photoshop and how to use them in a photo, I hope you like what I've created in Photoshop.  Over time I noticed that I always had one problem when it came to inserting images from the web and making sure they fit into the image. For example, in the Luke image that is in there, I always struggled cutting out the image from the white background without leaving a white outline on my image, after a while, I figured out that I could zoom in to the image until I see pixel by pixel and delete the pixels I didn't want. Thus, creating the image, you now see.  Despite my struggles with the various tools...

A structure of a flower by Hamza

Image
I was working on a bougainvillea garden and I couldn't find a Lego that was similar to the color and shape of bougainvillea. There was a black Lego piece that sort of like a long ribbon that I used as bougainvillea. And I put different kinds of Lego pieces as different kinds of plants. What was hard was that the black ribbon wasn't flexible. It kept snapping because it is made out of little pieces that can connect and they kept snapping into different pieces. Plans for the next two weeks: Next week: Research about cacti. Two weeks: Make a model of a cacti garden.

Programming the EV3 by Salma & Amena

Today we programed EVA (EV3) to move forward. After watching a few tutorials, hours of experimenting, and EVA almost falling off the table, we finally figured it out. We first tried using the "Large motor" block, but it didn't work, so we tried a different block called the "Move Tank" block ,which allowed us to adjust both wheels to the speed we wanted. Here is the video of EVA moving forward: Our goal for next week is to program it to move forward the turn.

Photoshop By Aya ;-)

Hi everyone! I have chosen photoshop as my "speciality" and I'm having a really fun time! Today I learned how to use the "eyedrop tool". What is the eyedrop tool? It makes it so the color you click on you can use. Cool, right! My goal for next week is to use the lasso tool. bye!

Light tunnel tower by Thomas

Stays V.S Corset

Image
People often get the two mixed up, but here I will try to highlite there similaritese and differences. This, childeren, is a corset. Its main purpose is to compress the waist and suport the bust. Corsets are often villinised as a turture device, confining, and dangerous. They are all those things, but the truth is, most women did not wear tight laced corsets, instead wearing 'enhancers' to still give the wearer fashinable shape. In my encounters with a corset, the most dangerous things about it is being hot, itchy, and a little confined. Dayly wearers can adjust there movements and comfert levle to the corset. Why Bother? There are two benafits I have seen two wearing a corset. With a corset, you can wear sleevless dresses with comfert, key word, suport. The next is how you cant slouch in a corset. The boneing and busk keeps you upright! Stays, are an outside wear corset that is worn with a chemise or an overdress. They focas less on the bust and more on narrow wai...

MEL chemistry by Mayumi

Image
Hi! This semester of gameday, we are picking a project/specialty, and seeing in through the semester. Like a College major, you can change it, but we are encouraged to stick with one, so as to get the full experience of the project. I have picked chemistry experiments, and my goal is to do one experiment per week. We have lots of MEL chemistry sets and some equipment, and they are highschool level experiments, with lab. My goal for next week is to do "calcuim silicate", and I'm not yet sure what it's about, but I can't wait to get started!
