6th+grade+2011-2012+project+gallery

Hi! Andres here from Class 601. A few of you parents know me. I'm the new commentator/uploader in charge of the 6th grade art wiki. Welcome to the photo/video art gallery! Right now, the class is working on Project #1: Creation stories from around the world. We're learning about many creation stories, like the Mayan and Inca ones. It's pretty loud in here, since all of us are discussing our stories. In the gallery, you will see a few pics that shows us hard at work. It isn't easy finishing this project, you know... I guess that's why we've been working on this a long time! Anyway, if you would like to learn more, you could arrange an appointment with Robert Evangelista, the art director. Updates are every Thursday and Friday. Well, it's time to go to my next class. Enjoy the gallery!

Recently, I spoke with the Mayan creation story group. The team consists of Karen Sepulveda, Genesis Garcia, Andrew Garate, and Sebastian Hazoury. Here's what they had to say:

Question 1:How is the project going? Answer: Really good! The drawings are well made and our music is great.

Question 2:What are some of the difficulties faced? Answer: Well, Andrew and Sebastian get the giggles,24/7.

I was also invited to check out their music. It was, as told, great. They worked very hard on the project. I was impressed with their skill. Take it from me, Andres.

But, I was not done. I was sent to the field again to interview the Chinese creation group. This group was a large one! It consisted of five members, which are Stephanie Apolaya, Caitlin Dejesus, Paulina Cortez-Alvarez, Mateo Hernandez, and Max Cerezo. I had asked the same questions, and here's what they had in mind: Q:How is the project going? A: Good, and quite well.

Q:What are some difficulties you guys face? A: Arguments, and lots of 'em! The second question was proven right, as they started squabbling about cows in front of me. Ha! Even in the light of that,the team was consistent and worked very hard. Mateo had carefully been adding the final touches to a painting. I was very pleased at what I saw.

This time, I had the time to interview two music directors, which were Beau Garcia and Luisa Uriarte (with Stephanie Rosero). First, I interviewed Beau. Here's his answers to our questions: Q1:How is everything going? A1:Good. Just adding the finishing touches to the Inca group No.3 music.

Q2:What does the group think about the music? A2:They think it's awesome!

Now, I interviewed Luisa and Stephanie and asked them the same questions. Here's their thoughts: A1:We're making progress. Everything's good. A2:The group thinks it's really cool and that it fits the story.

Alright, so that's the interview straight from me!

Hi, Andres here. We have a minor setback today. Some groups are a bit behind in process, so the finished groups will have to pitch in and help the other groups. Today is the only update of the week, since Veterans Day is tomorrow (Yes!). The noise has finally settled, but everyone is still discussing everything loudly. The music directors were given their day off, and they helped in other causes.

It seems like everything hasn't changed much since my last update (above). Only this time, you will see pictures of Class 601 and 602 that I had taken. Here we go!

12/8/11 We are working normally and all is well. Everyone is calm, and the first December update is peaceful. Everyone is working out things. Some groups still are fused together, like the Chinese-Egyptian group. Teamwork is key!

12/15/11 Everyone is slowly getting into the final steps:the movie itself. Let's take a look at how Yoruba creation story music directors Daniel Malagon and Matthew Torres are doing. I came back from the set, and they were doing remarkable, keeping the music steady with just acoustic beats.

Well then, that's all today.

It seems I have come early for my job, and it's just normal, and everyone is still working on the projects. We are all on the final steps;finishing up the music, or making the movie. We are as well taking photos, which will be shortly uploaded. It's really great to see everyone working together! Plus, we get arguments from the past out of the way for our time given. A whole 45 minutes to express ourselves!

New Update!1/5/12 Some people have finally finished in the nick of time. It's been a year, and we're all finishing up. I just have seen a spectacular story from the other class. The other Chinese group, Raheem Traille, Jason Ficeto, Yolanda Ramos, and Marcus Marston. I think I missed someone. Anyway, they did a remarkable job and stunned me with excellent drawings and fitting music. I could not have seen better.

Thanks for reading!
