All of them chose a physical body part, and they wrote poems about them. These people described the project well, and followed the instructions to doint the project.

Printing the Photograph

When I printed my final product I saved my picture on my drive and then I put it on my pen drive. I gave the pen drive to the teacher and she opened the folder. The computer said my pen drive had a virus, but that didn't affect the actual process of printing the picture. The text on my picture was a little bit to the side, but when the picture printed all the letters showed. The picture printed on glossy paper the way I liked it.

Canvassing

I set up my photograph in a canvas on photoshop. I clicked on the tool bar and I adjusted the photograph to the description that I wanted and the description on the paper. I asked for help to the teacher because I did not know how to adjust it so the photograph was visible, because when I put it to the description I wanted, it came out too little. Later I made there be enough space for text on the canvas, and I started to type.

Taking the Photograph

Today I took my photograph. I walked into class and I took a camera from school,a tripod, and a case. I went to the butterfly garden to take my picture. I didn't take my picture where I said I would because I thought this other location would be better. I had 2 people taking my picture, with the same camera. I laid in the mud holding a flower and took my picture. My picture barely fit my description, I changed it a lot. I didn't take the picture in the place of the butterfly garden i said I was because I thought this other location fit my favorite part well, in the point of it. I also did something differently which was hold a flower and lay int he dirt because I thought that the vines I was surrounded by gave the photograph a more "sensitive" effect.

Writing the Text

Today, February 25, I wrote the essay for the picture of the best part of me. I wrote it in class and I had Alexa revise it. I listened to the comments and I wrote my final draft. I added and took away some things that didn't make sense. After that I checked it one more time, and I sent it to Ms. Chebly by CIC gmail. The document is saved on my home drive and on the CIC gmail.
I will adapt the essay to my picture. My essay has a bit more than 200 words.

Selecting a photograph and editing

Today I edited my photograph. I picked the picture that showed the best part of me,my sensitivity, (design number 11), and I opened it on Photoshop. The picture was a bit blurry so I clicked on sharpen, to make it clearer. I left a little bit of the blur on because I thought it gave it a dramatic effect. I put other types of blur in it, but I decided to take it out because it didn't do anything for the picture. Next, I rotated the canvas to make it portrait-like. I changed some things on my description. One of the things I changed was the position I'd be in taking the picture. I changed this because my friends gave me a better idea that I thought would make my picture better, so I used it. I also changes what I'd be doing and holding because my friends suggested to hold a flower instead of crying because it was easier and it showed my favorite part better, so I did it. I changed the location in the butterfly garden because I thought it would be better to take it in the plants and mud instead of where the blue flowers are because there was no space close to the flowers and me laying down would express my sensitivity more because the background is vines, which I think shows one's sensitivity well. Lastly, the other thing i did different was that I didn't use a tripod. I didn't use a tripod because it was more difficult to get the angle that I wanted with a tripod, so my friend took my picture standing up, while I was laying down on the mud.

Plan of Picture

The design that I picked was number 1. Design number 1 is the one that I think shows the best part of me because it shows my sensitiveness and i have the resources that I could easily get. The surroundings also relate to my favorite part and it helps me show it since the best part of me isn't physical.
I will come to class on Tuesday February 15 to take my picture.I will take my picture in the butterfly garden. I will set up in the area where the blue plants are.I will ask Maria Alejandra to take the picture on an angle where i will be seen. The materials I will use are a digital camera, a tripod, and a case for the camera that I will borrow from the school. I will have a variety of pictures that I will choose from. I will show them to Ms. Chebly . I will download them onto my computer and put them in my home drive. I will choose 1 from all of them.Later I will download it onto my pen drive and save it.
