Jane's life

      For my piece I chose to do a sand dollar as a way to represent the big beautiful beach house that I am going to live in. In the actual content of my piece I talk about becoming happy, successful, and independent. I feel the happiest at the beach and specifically in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I think the sand dollar is a good representation of the beach because it is a piece of decor in every beach house and I always think of coastal life when I see one. I've always told my sister that I will know I've made it in life when I can buy myself a Cape house so this is important to me.     The sand dollar in my work is the only one in the picture, yet they tend to crowd together in one area. In my work I talk about how I don't care if I get married or not. I know I will be happy and happiness does not come from a single person except for yourself. I am setting myself up for success. I hope that the sand dollar will serve as a sign of my goals and every time I ...

However I am not very good at using the anchors, handles, and paths, so that is going to be harder for me to figure out. I do think manipulating the anchor will be easy though because you are just stretching out the shape. I also think it will be difficult to use the color panels and change colors, gradients, and outlines. After figuring out the shapes to use I think it will be easy to align it with other shapes. You could use these tools for a lot of different things such as creating posters, flyers, or social media posts. Something interesting about the video / tools he's using is that there are so many different tools for different functions. There are basically endless possibilities so it is interesting how the user knows how to navigate everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GzumUieDPY      This video starts out with navigating panels and l...

      The internet is something that is able to connect people around the globe. By definition the internet is a global computer network providing a variety of information. It allows us to have access to anything in an instant. Computer scientists Vinton Cerf as well as Bob Khan are the two scientists that created the internet. They created communication protocols and the system used for the internet. It was created in 1969 for the purpose of transferring data between two computer systems at UCLA. Today it serves a much larger purpose. We use it today to talk to friends and family, watch videos, and have any information we want. We can pretty much do anything we want for entertainment on the internet.      The Oxford dictionary definition of the World Wide Web is an information system on the internet which allows documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links. Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist invented the  World Wide Web. He was wo...

 

       Hi! I'm Jane and I am from Boston, Massachusetts. I love living in a city, but I also love the warm weather, so that is why I came here to Tampa. Living in Boston has taught me how to be more independent. I learned at a young age how to take the train by myself in order to get where I need to go. I even took the train to school everyday for six years. I did cheerleading in high school so I enjoy doing flips which is a fun fact about myself. I am a freshman and I enjoy walking, going to the beach, meeting new people, and painting. I have a sister that graduated from UTampa in the spring and we are very close with each other. An accomplishment for me is traveling 1,300 miles from home to go to school here by myself, because it is very outside my comfort zone, but I have enjoyed my time here so far. I absolutely love the beach, shopping, and trying new foods as well. My favorite food is sushi, my favorite color is bright pink, and my favorite genre of music is co...
