                                                                   DREAM SPEECH This assignment was inspired by Martin Luther King JR's  legendary dream speech. In  his speech in a sum-what poetic sense he describes his dreams for america especial the black community.  For my dream speech I decided to elaborate on my dreams of being a creative in various forms such as animation music art and food. I think this exercise was important because it really solidifies the aspirations I have for the future. What are your dreams and what will you do to achieve them?

This film explores the stereotypes of masculinity and femininity, though advertising. There is a deep dive into the various poses that men and woman do in advertising and what these poses tell us about our society and what we view as normal for each gender. When the roles are reversed it may seem odd. For example if  where to pose in a "feminine"  way than they would be considered less than a man, or a homosexual. The documentary also mention...

                                                            Multiple Intelligence's Each person has a certain intelligence that they gravitate to from youth. However , I do believe that it is possible someone to learn an intelligence that they may not have natural ability in. It will however take a lot of dedication and determination.  The 8 different intelligence's  are as follows:                                                                                                              Naturalistic- This refers those who observe and analyze nature and have...

        Time Management. Time is a precious commodity, once lost it can never be retrieved. It is for this  reason that managing time is essential. Charles Buxton once said and I quote:"You will never find the time for any thing. If you want time you must make it." This quote stood out to me because this is one of my pitfalls. Managing my time has been a challenge for a while. In this boot-camp here I have learned valuable ways to manage my time better. I have acknowledged an improvement in time management once I reevaluated how I use my time and then developed a schedule to to make better use of the time I have.  In all honesty it was challenging to adapt to the schedule at first. I noticed that I work well with reminders because I forget a lot. Also id say that making a list has helped me not to feel overwhelmed by tasks because now i can break the task into smaller manageable tasks with time allocated for each one. Change does not happen over night , how...

                                                           WHAT IS ANIMATION? In my opinion animation is an art-form that gives creatives a platform to tell the most compelling stories without being limited the physical limits of this world. You are able to bring still drawings and ideas to life. Animation has fascinated me for as long as I can remember.      Now I have the chance to learn more about it. It's been about 2 weeks already and I learned a lot more about it. For example i did not know that writing in cursive apparently makes you a faster and more proficient animator. I also didn't realize how much work is actually expected from an animator. I'm up for the challenge.                                        ...
