The Taming of Lucentio

Welcome to my blog. This term, our class is called Drama. In this term, we are going to learn about plays and acting. This unit, we have been reading a play by Shakespeare, "The Taming Of The Strew." This was the first unit that we had to do over video using Zoom due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been interesting but we have found a way to make it work. For this Action Project, we were assigned with creating our own sonnet using iambic pentameter. Iambic pentameter is a type of rhythm in the sonnet that follows a "duh-dum" type of beat with ten syllables in each line. In this sonnet, we made it based around a character of our choice from The Taming Of The Shrew. We have also taken a video of ourselves reading this sonnet that we have created. The man that I am talking about in this sonnet, is named Lucentio. He is a man that won the heart of Bianca in Bianca. There were other suitors chasing Bianca but Lucentio won the chase. He is my favorite character in the play because his character is simple yet unique. So, here it is.

Oh Lucentio you handsome sly man
You got Bianca just from hiding
You made Hortensio ditch his great plan
And you won her heart while they were trying.

You are very goodly with your money
You tricked Baptista and you tricked the rest
Compared to you, all others are crummy
Lucentio you are the very best

Petruchio struggled to get his girl
While you caroused with Tranio all night
The rest of the guys got into a fight
Lucentio you are truly the pith

“But in the other’s silence do I see
Maid’s mild behavior and sobriety.”

Cardboard Camera?

This is an Action Project for my core class Light, Sound, and Time. During this Unit, we learned all about light and how it works. We also learned about how light is a part of the visible spectrum. This is a spectrum that shows the types of waves/rays that are on earth. The visible spectrum is also how we see colors. This has also helped us better understand what light is and how we use it to take pictures. For example, when you take a picture using a camera, light is used to leave a image captured onto a surface. For this project, I was tasked with making a camera from a tissue box. The camera I made is called a Camera Obscura. This camera takes light and through a little hole pastes the image onto a piece of parchment paper inside of the camera. As you can see below, those photos were taken from inside the camera when held up to a light. It also shows what the camera looks like and how it turned how after creating it.

What is a Hysterectomy?

Welcome to my blog. This is an Action Project for my core class Cure. In this unit, we have been at home talking about cells, what they are, and what they are made up of. We have also taken the time to look at different types of surgeries. Also, we had two special FE guests join us through Zoom and teach us about themselves and what they know to help us get a clearer understanding. The two guests who joined us were Dr. Neeraj Jain and Kellee Athens. For this assignment, we were tasked with interviewing someone who has had any surgery performed on them. For the interview, I chose to interview someone about the surgery they had done. The surgery that was performed was a Hysterectomy which is the removal of the uterus. I have put together a slideshow below explaining all of the risk factors, side effects, and much more detail on how the surgery is performed. "No dietary restrictions. I was super groggy and just slept a lot. I was in the hospital for 1 or 2 days. It took me a week to ...

Drawing Lines

In this Action Project, we have been studying public art and how it connects to its community. We have also been making trying to define public art. I would define public art as anything that has two things. The first thing is that it has to have a story that is behind the art. The second is that it has to be in the right place to connect the community through art. In the art piece below, my classmates and I have been working on a mural for the side of a building in Lincoln Park. We have been waling around Lincoln Park and trying to figure out how we can connect the mural we are making to the neighborhood. We even went to different places like Whole Foods and interviewed different workers to see what they think is missing and what they think about the area. CJH.
