Metra Project in progress!

Hello there, this is Matt and today I'll be sharing some information
about what's going on in this awesome class of awesomeness! ^_^

Today, the students are putting a lot of effort into their Metra project. So far, this class have wonderful ideas and they are looking good. Still, some of the students are doing a little bit of photo research in order to bring their idea to life or whatever. I can't say much about today because today is running slow and it's stupid Monday and no one likes Monday. If you like Monday you have a problem!! Anyways, there's small talk here and there, but the project will be done before the deadline!!

"Look, Listen, Live"




Hello everyone,

It’s our time to update the blog once again. This week, our class focused on the Metra Train safety poster contest. It’s a surprise to know that many lose their life each year just because they didn’t take simple precautions. We were asked to show the importance of railway safety through our images, and the principal of emphasize, combined them with the slogan “look, listen, live”. With any project, we started sketching, and researching things like common accidents, and railway safety tips. Our deadline is February 24th, 2010, and winners will be selected form each grade level. Usually, we would supply a picture of work of our own with our posts, but since we’re so hard at work, we’re just going to leave you with the phrase, “look, listen, live”.

Sireze Booker


Jared Bailey

Hello Everyone! Sireze & Jared here to bring you another update!!!

This past week we have been working on another project which was about Gun Violence. We learned about the five different types of Gun Violence which were suicide, unintentional, crime-related, unplanned deliberate, and planned deliberate gun violence. Over all, this was an interesting project & we enjoyed doing it. Please take time to view our final projects on the left side of this post, which of course were done almost completely in Illustrator, occasionally Photoshop. The top one was done by Sireze while the one on the bottom was done by Jared.

Also, this week was the deadline for the All City Art fair. Students willing to participate have submitted 12 pieces of art done either in our class or outside of it.
