Challenges

The whole class made a mash up with different sounds in audacity. We mixed a some different sounds like animals, hurricanes, people talking and much more. Some of the mash ups sounded very weird but others sounded really good such as Elena's. On the other hand, I had some challenges doing this amazing project. One of my challenges was to make all the sounds rhyme and finding specific sounds that I liked. Also, another challenge was to make all the mash-up last one minute because at the beginning I just had few sounds and was very short. More over, if I could change something if I could, I would change most everything because I did it till the last minute. So if I could change something it will be to organize my self and give time to finish my project. At last, I will give me more time to find better sounds for my mash-up because most of my sounds were really bad. In brief, in my opinion I could done it better because I did it really bad.

Mash-up

A mash-up is a composition created by two or more songs.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYQJ_SIVUVE&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzvaWD7K1Iw&feature=related. A good mash-up is the one that contains different types of songs (two or more) which can create the mash-up entirely unique and fun. A good mash-up has to contain songs that can be totally different but could make a good mix with them. Also, a good mash-up has to tell kind of like a story through the whole composition. On the other hand, what makes a bad mash-up is : not having at least two songs and those ones being boring. A good mash-up needs to be entertaining and fun ,so it'll be able to be played at events or parties and the people who hear it get satisfied with it.
I found a site that helps me how to improve my mash-up or how to make a mash-up. http://hubpages.com/hub/5-Tips-for-Creating-Mash-Up-Music.
In my opinion mash-up artists are true musicians. They made music from different songs that were created by true musicians and that's why it makes mash-up artists into real musicians. Their music is technically modernized as it was before. Also, they are true musicians because eventhough the songs have the same lyrics , the mash-up artists job is to get all those songs in a different order , get them mixed and finally, created a entirely different song. There were some of mash-up artists that I had been hearing to like, OriginalDjCK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08D9eZ63pQ8&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_7rBBltZ8Y&feature=fvw.

Artifact of the Future Robotic Snake

artifact of the Future 3 paragraphs

The process I went through on the Future Artifact project was kind of hard, but it was worth. First , I had to search in google for a cool snake, although it was kind of difficult because I already had one in mind. Then, I had to search for mechanical objects in order to make the robotic snake. It took me hours to find the objects that could fit in my snake. Right after that, I learned to make the images smaller and duplicate them; that made my life easier and less harder. In addition, I finished putting the mechanical parts into the snake so it would like a robotic snake. At last, I did the finally touches and added some explanation in it, so the people would know how would it be needed in a future.

In my opinion , I thought this artifact was really good and original. I had never seen a water animal in my life. It was creative and well done. The thing I like about this project was that she followed the tutorials and make it look like if that animal was made of water. The photoshop skill that she made in this project was brushing the image.

I really like this artifact. I don't think this project would be invented in a future , because it is something natural so , it might be created in a future naturally. If it exists in a future I would definetely think about buying it. It's awesome. I don't think it would change the person's life who created this artifact.

Artifact from the future

Im going to be creating a Robotic Snake. I chose to create that artifact because it would be really usuable in a future. Also, this robotic snake would be create with different skills, such as : interacting with different people, it will talk , and much more. My vision for this invention is that this robotic snake would be interacting with its owner, running from side to side and getting to perform different things.

Family Reunion

A year ago, my family planned to have a family reunion. My whole family was there. It was the first time we gather all my family counting my mom's and dad's family. We gathered to celebrate christmas. We all had a wonderful time and shared lots of adventures that they had been through long time ago. It was really fun because I had the opportunity to meet some of my family members that I didn't know yet. It was so much fun because all my family members were having such a great time.

Family frames

I choose 4 different types of frames. I classified the frames by generation. I choose a brown one for the first generation which is my two sisters & I because it seem really fancy and elegant. Then , I choose a flower one for the next generation because it was one of my favorites and it was really easy to put the heads on. In addition, I choose a black one for the third generation because there were fewer members of my family and so I didn't have an specific idea of how I wanted the frames to be. Finally , I choose a yellow one for the fourth generation because the frames were similar to the first generation.
