my favorite thing in each subject

 Elective:

My favorite elective has always been art. This year we learned about famous artist. Once we watched a documentary on their life and did more research about them; we had to paint them. Ever since I was a little girl I’ve been fascinated be Fri Decalos work. Living in El Paso Texas, which is in between Texas and New Mexico, you could see her work everywhere. I learned about her love for art, the accident that impacted her life, her struggling relationship with her husband and much more. I believe portrait that I painted in the picture below came out beautifully, but then again, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Sociales:

In sociales you touch very important topics. Not only about Colombian history but what is happening to Colombia today. Something that touches my heart very deeply are the soldiers who risk their lives fighting for their country. Now-a-day, Colombia has an ongoing war with the terrorist groups (also known as the FARC). These groups specialize in kidnap, terrorist attacks, drug dealing and much more. The only way we maintain our security is because of these soldiers.  So Mr. Amaya came up with an idea of sending them canned food. I learned the living conditions of the army, what they go through every day, and how to give back.

At the begging of the year we were assigned a project about the book we read over the summer. That’s summer I read three books, but my favorite was Beach Blondes. We were assigned to make a video. I told Ms. Shawn about my passion of photography. So instead of video clips I put pictures I had taken. I got to show, not only my teacher, but also my classmates my love of photography. I learned how to thourally work with iphoto and imovie.
