Stop Motion Distracted Driving Video
My class and I created a stop motion 30 second video about Distracted Driving. The scenario is 6 kids in a car doing things no one should do while driving. Six of my classmates, Jordyn, Coley, Mackenzie, Maitland, Michaela, and I are in Jordyn's car and we are not paying attention to the road. We are blasting music, not wearing seat belts, texting, yelling song lyrics, and taking selfies; but then all of the sudden we "hit" a person, who is also my classmate Eric. The part where we "hit" him is stop motion, made with a toy car and a male Bratz doll. The video is below. If that video does not work it is also uploaded to YouTube just search "Maitland Burke Distracted Driving".
Lichtenstein Benday Dots
During this project we had to create a Lichtenstein Benday Dot art work. We had to re-create a photo of ourselves, I traced my photo using the pen tool with different strokes, different colors, and on different layers. After the photo was re-created I made five dots with the ellipse tool, used the rectangle tool to make a transparent square going through the center points of each dot, then sent the square to the back, copied it and then pasted it to the front of the squares and then added the color to the square. I then grouped it, saved it, then sent it to swatches. I clicked on swatches and dragged it to the place where I wanted the benday dots to cover.
