Picture in Myth Visual Assignment

You in Collage Form. Make it about the character that was created last week.

This is a preview of my character that I created in last weeks assignments.

Week 4 Visual Assignment

2 Stars Places of Piece       

Create a collage of photos with all of your favorite spots where you feel relaxed or at peace. This should include at least four photos and can be places on-campus, at home, or maybe a spot you found while traveling. Then post the college to twitter.

The beach and the mountains are my favorite places to go and unwind and recharge. Unfortunately I did not make it to the beach this summer. The mountains are peaceful and relaxing. It is usually cooler in the mountains than it is at my home.

 

2 Stars Your Favorite Photo   

It’s simple. Choose your favorite photo you’ve taken and tell everyone why you love it so much.

This is my cat, Smokey. I got him when he was about 3 days old. He had to be bottle fed every 2-3 hours, just like a newborn baby. In this picture he is a couple of month old. Every time I would get out of this chair, he would jump in the chair and go to sleep.

 

4 Stars   Create a silly Movie Poster    

Take an existing movie poster and make it look silly.

I used the Grinch Movie poster and added a hanging bat, hanging spider, an oragne balloon and soem silly squggles.

 

 

2 Stars   You in Collage Form

This comes with simple instructions. Make a collage with images and words that describe you or mean something to you. This can either be done with actual materials like paper and magazine clips or by taking images, memes, and fonts from the Internet. Be careful to focus on the design of the collage, not just putting things together in a big glob. Have fun and be creative!

I love my family! They are my biggest supporters and they give my strength when I need it and encourage me to be the best that I can be. Snowman in the Christmas scene describes me very well. I can watch Christmas movies year around and I love snowmen. Christmas is my favorite season, its magical. Snowflakes, I am like a child when the first snowflakes fall every year. I love snow!! Can Am Motorcycle- this is a hobby that my husband and I share. I have been all over the state of Virginia and West Virginia. Quilt picture- I love to quilt, unfortunately I do not have the time to quilt with my college schedule. I do quilt and sew during holiday breaks and between semesters. This is me.

 

The Moments I Can’t Put Into Words

Below attached is my description of the various photos I have taken in which represent important moments in my life. Below is the hyperlink for my website where you will find a whole explanation on this assignment and exactly what I took from it!

My “Places of Peace”

I made my collage of my “places of peace” with some photos I took of places near my old homes and my current one.  The top one is from the woods near my current home, the middle is from the street of the house I lived in before my current one (this street always gave me a sense of peace because the trees were just so pretty), and the last was a photo taken from the beach at my old home in North Carolina. Each one gives me a different feeling of peace, but they all mean the same thing to me: home.

Hanging out with others like me, puts me at peace!!!!

So I chose this two star assignment because I wanted to show the environments and people who put me at peace.  Now that I have this big craving for flesh and blood it seems that these people are the only ones that want to hang out with me, without trying to shoot me.

So I chose this two star assignment because I wanted to show the environments and people who put me at peace.  Now that I have this big craving for flesh and blood it seems that these people are the only ones that want to hang out with me, without trying to shoot me.   So the pictures from left to right top to bottom are all things during the apocalypse that put me at peace others like me.  I like to go drinking with my other zombie friends after a long day of chasing the unaffected, it really takes a toll on the knees and hanging with them puts me at peace.  When I’m not chasing the humans this is by far my favorite seat to sit in and relax, really puts me in the mindset of what life is all about now.  My family got infected as well so the babies are kept in this cage due to being to slow to catch the humans at this point in their little lives.  The top right picture speaks for itself, who doesn’t like to go boating my friends I surely do.  We use boats to sneak to new locations looking for new humans to attack.  Last but not least who doesn’t like watching a good horror film with your favorit person, whats ironic is the movies we watch are about us.  So hanging out with my new group of infected friends, my chair, my sweet zombie babies, boating and watching movies all put me at peace.

Remix 1

This week, the class focused on remixes and mashups. This is my first remix. I was told to make a collage of things that help me relax while also using this as an opportunity to advertise DS106.

So,  I picked 4 pictures – one of my computer in Starbucks with DS106 website on display, one of a sunset in the mountains of Santa Barbara, CA on the Psalm 121 Overlook and helicopter pad, one of my dog, and another of Ronald Reagan’s beloved Rancho Del Cielo.

I went to the Reagan Ranch last week, had an amazing time, and felt so at peace up on the ranch, so I decided to include it. I also included something that recommends students take the course because I’ve had a great time and it was part of the remix assignment.

Remix #1

Places of peace

I have more often then not found peace in things rather than places. I like books, I like music, I like playing on my computer. If there is a place I feel at peace in it is a place in Massachusetts called Pochet Island which the bridge sketch represents.
