This is what I have so far for my practical work in art. I have more that is in prohgress and I am planning to restart on my pastel one. I am going to do painting some time this term aswell. All of my art works will resemble or will connect to the artists that I picked. Some of my art will also have a comic effect(ban-day dots).

Art Folio Plan Layout

This is the layout of my art, I'm still in the process of creating more designs to go on the folio itself. I also started my wet media by using acrylic paint and creating a bible with a cross. The topic that I did is Pop art based on religion. It is kinda complex to do due to the topic itself. The story behind these different series of artworks are different important points on the story of Jesus Christ's life when he was still here on earth. I explained what or how his life has been by creating comic strips with comments like I was explaining or telling a story.

Next steps: My next steps are to create more design that will go to my folio. I need to do it on two media, wet and dry media. These are the two things that we need to have on or folios to have an achieve grade. So my plan for this week is to create the first series of my ark on wet media then do the next series on dry media.

The Cather in the Rye by J.D Salinger.










“I live in New York, and I was thinking about the lagoon in Central Park, down near Central Park South. I was wondering if it would be frozen over when I got home, and if it was, where did the ducks go? I was wondering where the ducks went when the lagoon got all icy and frozen over. I wondered if some guy came in a truck and took them away to a zoo or something. Or if they just flew away.”



"As just as I expected, It was frozen, the ducks disappeared like shadows stepping into the light. I'm still wondering where could they go. As I walk past the lagoon, the cold breeze air kissed my chicks, and there was a duck sitting in a nearby tree trying to find a shelter or a warm place to rest. As I walk closer to it, it started running."

I kept walking until I reached my apartment downtown. The city is dead quiet because of the season. It is not like in the summer where we were crowded here like ants trying to gather food. I looked up into the sky, I noticed that the buildings were huge like giants looking in an ant, I was the ant of course.

Similes and Metaphors - Englsih

What is a Metaphor? A metaphor for me is explaining or giving someone a nickname that explains what that person is in real life. For example, " You're a goddess", this explains someone is like a goddess whether it's her face or his actions.

What is Simile? A simile for me is when someone describes or compares a person with either living or non-living thing. For example, "She is stunning like a rose".

Sunflower by: Post Malone and Swae Lee

Needless to say, I keep her in check
She was all bad-bad, nevertheless (yeah)
Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck (wreck)
Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck (wreck)
Needless to say, I'm keeping her in check
She was all bad-bad, nevertheless
Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck
Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck
Thinkin' in a bad way, losin' your grip
Screamin' at my face, baby, don't trip
Someone took a big L, don't know how that felt
Lookin' at you sideways, party on tilt
Ooh-ooh, some things you just can't refuse
She wanna ride me like a cruise
And I'm not tryna lose

Then you're left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're a sunflower
I think your love would be too much
Or you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
You're the sunflower

Every time I'm leavin' on ya
You don't make it easy, no, no
Wish I could be there for ya
Give me a reason to go
Every time I'm walkin' out
I can hear you tellin' me to turn around
Fightin' for my trust and you won't back down
Even if we gotta risk it all right now, oh
I know you're scared of the unknown (known)
You don't wanna be alone (alone)
I know I always come and go (and go)
But it's out of my control

And you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're a sunflower
I think your love would be too much
Or you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
You're the sunflower
Yeah

Believer by: Imagine Dragons

First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh ooh
The way that things have been, oh ooh
Second thing second
Don't you tell me what you think that I can be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh ooh
The master of my sea, oh ooh

I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Write down my poems for the few
That looked at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
(Pain, pain)
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
(Pain)
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
(Pain)
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh ooh
Your spirit up above, oh ooh

I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
'Til it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
(Pain, pain)
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
(Pain)
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
(Pain)
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh ooh
The blood in my veins, oh ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
'Til it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
(Pain, pain)
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
(Pain)
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
(Pain)
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

The Problem with Plastics (ESOL)

How does plastic tremendously affect people's lives?

Plastic tremendously affects people’s lives in different ways. Plastic impacted the world dramatically. It improved our lives in different ways; it also did damage and some issues.

It can improve people’s lives in different ways. An example of it is when we buy stuff at shops or supermarkets. It helps us by making it easier to carry the stuff we bought. Significantly, we Filipinos use our creativity and imagination to make something from plastics. We make lanterns - we call it ‘parol’ - made out of used plastics. Remarkably, plastic is accessible everywhere, it only costs 75 to 95 cents a pound which is extremely cheap.

Using plastic does have benefits and positive effects, however, there is also a hideous side about using plastics. Plastic caused so many catastrophic problems on our planet. It causes pollution, flooding and other types of natural phenomenon.

Using plastic as packaging is also a bad habit that we do. Plastic has chemicals on it that could be poisonous on our health. Indeed, it takes more than one plastic to cause issues on our health but it could be worse if we keep doing it. Plastic is affordable and cheap which is why its everywhere. However, it does still depend on how you use it and if you're responsible enough. Us humans use plastic on everything, but using plastic on food can have bad side effects on our body. Using plastic as a wrapper on food is a bad habit us humans do. We can stop using plastic for wrapping our food and instead use paper bags. Paper bags are safe for the environment and do take less time to rot out instead of plastics.

In conclusion, plastic both effects us in positive and negative ways. It does still depend on us and how we use it. It will take us determination and effort to stop plastic, however, if we use plastic on important occasions only, we could stop or use less plastic.

Social Studies- Tribe Studies

In Social studies, we began studying about a tribe called the Matses. They are an indigenous tribe that lives in the Amazon Rainforest. We are supposed to write a paragraph about them.


Who are the Matsès? Interestingly, Mastsès - or as we call ‘ Jaguar People’- are an indigenous tribe that lives in the remote areas of the Amazon Rainforest, specifically, in the Javari River.

They use a method called ‘ Slash and Burn ‘ to create small-scaled farms. Planting crops is a great benefit for them because they don’t have any contacts with outsiders. Their primary food source is fishing but they also hunt and plant crops. Example of these foods is sweet plantains, maniocs, and roots such as beetroots, and carrots. They also hunt wild animals like wild boars. These things are basically the way they survive.

So how did their life on the land change? Their lives dramatically change when they began having an interaction with the outsiders. They began trading goods like clothing, food, and materials. These improved the lives of the Matsès. They began living in larger, fixed, super-nucleated and permanent villages. They stopped traveling into different parts of the forest and decided to stay in one specific area and continue living. They also stop creating farms all over the place causing to cut trees. Importantly, the lifestyle of the Matsès changed and improved. Committed to change, the tribe agreed to improve the way of their living and began contacting with outsiders which really had a strong impact on their community.

Some of them even chose to go out and face the real world and began living in rural cities or places, but some still chose to stay in the forest and continue living the way their ancestors or their parents lived.
