The Met field trip

On February 19 our Web Design class went on a trip to The Metropolitian Museum. We went to look many different types of art and to be inspired and have a deeper understanding of what it really is. During the trip I learned how anything could be art even to a math problem or stacked up blocks. Also I learned about how art was used and it's history such as an inspiration and an enlightment. This knowledge contribute towards my Web Design class because it gives us different perspectives and understanding of how art could be viewed. This was an amazing experience because I learned more of art and recieved a different narrative towards art. My favorite part of this trip was the presentation of the Pixcell deer, this was representation of a deer covered by marble as way of being viewed as digital image. I would go to this museum again since there was great artwork and there is still a large amount of work that I haven't seen. There was a difference in the concept of the map for the museum digitally and physically. One of the diffrences is that the digital version provides clearer directions suchas the food court or American Wing than the physical copy.

CTE Expo Review

The CTE Expo was an event so that we could practice our communication and interviewing towards others. At first we thought that it was about the 9th Graders being introduced to the academies and learning what's about, that wasn't the main priority. There were many things going on in the classroom but there was a lack of approach and bravery towards the 9th graders. Also it seemed as if they were more interested in the computers rather than physical projects such as a poster board based on typography.
   In addition, there were a few students that didn't care about the event and isolated themselves from others. There were certain situations that went well such as the attempts to explain what is Web Design about and why they should join. Also we all dressed professionally in buisness clothes such as suits, polo shirts and button shirts. Furthermore, this unites the whole Web Design team since the 11th and 12th graders were also part of the event. As the rest of our 3 years in the CTE academy continues we will only be getting better and less shy to share our thoughts. This was a great time and a good way to improve our skills in communicating with others
