Hi everyone, As you already know, since the beginning of this semester, I have been learning how to drum. Although I came from Africa (Cameroon) where drumming and singing is more common, I never had the opportunity to learn that. … Continue reading

AutoDraw: Making your doodles into delicate paintings
This week I tried another web-based software AutoDraw and did some artwork. AutoDraw belongs to Google and is known for integrating artificial intelligence into digital drawings. It can guess users’ sketches and pair users’ drafts with prepared …

This week I kept exploring the color wheel. The learning outcome is that I not only named 6 tertiary colors but also came up with a teaching PowerPoint for interested teachers. I will first talk about definitions of tertiary colors. … Continue re…

I always try to make painting accessible, especially during inflation. In my EPSY 322 course, I learned the web-based app Sumo. It is said to be an alternative to Photoshop, which requires an expensive subscription fee. Sumo has many functions: ……

Hola a todos! Since my mini-bag is in process. For this week of recess, I decided to learn something entertaining and “half” new: swimming with my head submerged. And no, it’s not that I don’t know how, but it’s tough for me to swim with my head down (very strange). It all started because I live with two girls from Mexico (Mar and Marisol, I love them) who are lifeguards, and both worked in camps with children. So, they invited…

It’s time to be brutally honest with you all. These past few weeks of attempting embroidery have been very difficult for me, and I’ve really lost a lot of my drive to finish my projects. One issue I was having was that following the patterns was getting very boring for me, and I felt like I wasn’t able to be creative. I’ve always had a hard time staying focused on projects for a long time, and this was becoming a…

This week I explored DMC, a website recommended for me to check out by a class pal, @AvaViczko: “you guys should check out some of the patterns on DMC if you’re looking for cute little projects for your learning projects!” … Continue reading

Closing in on the completion on the bed frame I made. Todays task was to cut the plywood for the top of the frame. This will provide a flat surface for the mattress to lay on and provide extra structural support for the frame. The shape of the van made for challenges as the front […]

Doing this project has been a great learning experience and I’m more than grateful for it. While doing this project, I learned a ton about stop motion and all of the little things and movements that go into it. The … Continue reading
Continue readingUkrainian Colours and a Little History
This week I wanted to learn the colours but while I was searching for a video to learn from I came across a video by Olly Richards titled “The Ukrainian Language: The Heroic Story of a Language That Just Won’t Quit. The video did a deep dive about the Ukrainian language and also talked about some basic facts. I wish I watched this video at the beginning to have had a better understanding of the language but now is better than never. It is a long video but worth the watch. After the video I found what I was originally looking for. Names of Colours in Ukrainian by Ukrainian Lessons. I have used this site before but I really like it because there is pictures, pronunciations, the option to be read slower, and overall just super great for learning. I really struggled this week with my learning. I have been beyond sick for two weeks now. I’m not sure if my brain is cloudy from the sickness or if this is a sign I should be practicing more. I am going to review all the old stuff I learned and go over the alphabet again to help spark my thinking for next week.
