1-Watch Documentary

2 - Write a 3-4 paragraph blog post answering these questions, (include pictures/screenshots). 

•  In your own words, describe an image from the documentary or  “The People’s Portfolio”  that brought you close to your own emotions? 

In Burma, the HIV/AIDS medication supply is so limited that only one in four people requiring treatment receives it. These children, who are HIV positive, were orphaned or sent by their parents to Social Action for Women’s safe house, the Children’s

As a soccer coach for young kids, I felt compelled to choose this image to reflect on, as the faces of children that I typically see are happy ones. Being a soccer coach, it is my job to ensure the safety, happiness, and imagination of the children I coach. That being said, seeing sad children who ban together, as shown in the image above, I was instantly drawn to the photo and alarmed. I wanted to learn more on this photo and understand what was going on to make these children look so unhappy. No child deserves to be unhappy, so this image was close to my own emotions as I work with children (age 2 to six) every week. For the soccer program that I coach, each child receives a stamp on their hand at the end of the day to show a job well done. In this photo, the children also receive a mark, though theirs are marks on their face for protection, not joy/congratulations. 

•  Take a selfie, or have someone take a photo of you where you would visually express connection to world around you or to other human beings.


These three selfies above, are some of the groups of kids that I coach. I thought these images would be beneficial to include because of what I discussed in the previous question. This is my expression relating to the world around me, and to other humans around me, as I am working to teach these children valuable life lessons such as honestly, kindness, sharing, through the game of soccer. In the image from the People's Portfolio, the image I chose to reflect above relates as those children are not focused on having fun. The children I coach may not realized how blessed they are but I understand how privileged I am to get to teach them, as some of the  other children do not have teachers. 

•  Post that image in your blog. 
•  Describe / explain your image.

Blog #4 - Letter to Future Self

Dear Future Self,  Wow, where to even begin. I honestly struggled to write this out. You won't remember but there is so much chaos going on in life right now. Between family, soccer shots, photography, money, getting caught up on school, social life, boyfriend, and friends, I don’t know where to start with this letter. On a positive note, in 2 days you have a facetime interview with the Talent Acquisition Manager with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a possible internship opportunity (thank you cousin Rick). I am currently sitting here trying to type this letter while waiting for the Career Services lady to call my name for my meeting with someone who works in the professional sports world.  Life is moving so insanely fast right now, with three million things happening at once, and everyone telling you their opinions and how you should be doing certain things. I guess that is just life? What do you think now after living through it? You probably won't even remember how stressed yo...

 Ava Farrelly  Find 3 tutorial videos that are about Frame by Frame animation in Photoshop for beginners.  Watch the videos. It is optional if you follow along.  Write down any questions you may have so we can discuss in class. In your Blog:   - imbed the videos with included link - under each video write 1-2 paragraphs if you think which tool/tools will be easy or hard to use, how you might use it and what you find interesting about the video. 1. Photoshop Animation Tutorial: Frame by Frame Character Walkwww.youtube.com › watch The move tool with auto select will be the best to use when drawing across animations, as we can see originally what was there and still be able to proceed with what needs to be drawn.  Motion has to have a change in imagery according to this video, so I think it will be difficult to remember how to click/drag contact groups in order to duplicate across layers. I watched this portion of the video more than once, as hearing/watching ...
