Week 4

Monday: We kicked off the week by going over some important guidelines for working in the school after hours—what’s allowed, what’s not, and how to stay safe and responsible. We also had a session on task management, where we learned how to organize our time and submit assignments properly. Toward the end of the day, we were introduced to a typing tool that we’ll be using throughout the week to improve our speed and accuracy. It was a productive start that helped set the tone for the days ahead.

Tuesday: The morning started with Mr. Mark and was all about exploring different shading techniques. We were introduced to a variety of methods and asked to practice them to see where our current skill level stands. It was a useful exercise that helped highlight what we need to improve. Later in the day, we had to show our teacher the progress we made on our pendulum swing animation. We also got some time to practice using another software, giving us more hands-on experience with different tools.

Wednesday: It was break from the usual routine as we had the whole day off. Even though there were no scheduled activities, I kept myself busy. I spent some time reading, catching up on a few things, and watching YouTube videos to unwind and stay entertained. It was a nice midweek pause to recharge before getting back to work.

Thursday: We were given a task focused on proper shading techniques. It was a hands-on exercise meant to help us improve our understanding of light, shadow, and depth in our work. Anyone who didn’t finish was expected to take it home and bring it back completed next week. In the afternoon, since our teacher wasn’t present, I decided to make the most of the time by continuing with my shading. It was a good opportunity to stay focused and push my work a bit further.

Friday: The day started off pretty relaxed. In the morning, we didn’t have any major tasks lined up, so I took the opportunity to experiment with the Wacom tablet and explore some of the animation software. It was a good chance to play around creatively and get more comfortable with the tools Later in the afternoon, we headed to the auditorium for an important group discussion. We covered a range of social topics, including male privilege, sexual orientation, and lessons on harassment. These conversations were insightful and necessary, helping us understand the importance of respect, inclusivity, and awareness both in our work and daily lives.

After hours, I stayed behind to work on the pen exercise, taking the extra time to focus and refine my work. I ended up leaving around 7 PM, feeling productive and satisfied with the progress I made.

Week 5

 Monday : I focused on continuing my ice cream design and spent some time adding color using the pen tool. It was a good opportunity to refine the details and make sure everything was coming together visually. Later in the afternoon, we had to present our official concept sketches for the pendulum swing to our teacher. It was helpful to get feedback and see how everyone else approached the task as well. Tuesday : We started the day by handing in last week’s shading assignment to Mr. Mark. I took the chance to add a few final touches, since I wasn’t completely satisfied with my original version and wanted to improve it a bit more. Later in the evening, we were finally briefed on our official assignments for the week. These include the pendulum swing, the pen exercise, and an ice cream design (all of which are due on Friday). It was a clear reminder that the week ahead is going to be a busy one. Wednsday : The morning started with us working on presentations on Powerpoint w...

Week 3

Monday : We stareted the day of in digital literacy with designing an ice-cream cone using a specific color template/theme as well as showing the class our early sketch on what it will look like. Later we watched a documentary Dreaming is a natural part of sleep, typically occurring during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage. According to the documentary, scientists believe dreams serve several psychological and neurological functions. Potential explanations for why we dream include helping the brain process emotions, consolidate memories, simulate threats or challenges, and even enhance problem-solving abilities. The documentary highlights that dreaming may be the brain’s way of making sense of our experiences and preparing us for waking life. As we ended the day by giving our 'dream speaches'. Tuesday : We were at the auditorium signing more forums for the whole day as well as getting officially introduced to some of the staff and some of the new students comming in for tv pro...
