For the first one I cut up magazines into little pieces and glued it on. I thought this was more fun than the other one. I also thought it was frustrating cutting all those little pieces and then glueing them on. I stil think it looks good.
          It took me about one hour to get this one finished. At first I thought I couldn't do it and it would look really bad. But in the end I like it and it looks like a pretty good mosaic. I like it!

This one was really really really frustrating. I had to melt a bunch of crayons just for the background! After I melted the crayons it stuck to the pan and I had to scrape and scrape and scrape to get it off!! After that incident I decided to do a different method. I shaved crayons using a cheese grader!
          This was weird because it kept coming off and not working. It took a really long time for me to do it. I had to have steady hands to get the colors into the specific spot. It was really hard and frustrating but I did it and it kind of looks like Kalin!!

My attempt for picture 02: To cut up little pieces of paper and glue onto paper.

process: cut up pieces of paper into little pieces and glue them onto the right places with color.

My attempt for picture 01: To paint with melted crayons

process: put all colors into color groups according to the picture. Take off all wrappers. Melt crayons in a double boiler. paint with paintbrush.

Here are my 10 pictures!

1. The 2012 Kony video is about what Joseph Kony has done and how we need to do something to stop him. The man who did the video is talking to you about how you can help stop him and he explains to you what Joseph Kony has done. Joseph Kony has done bad things to children in Africa and is trying to get the government to help him stop Joseph Kony.
2. The film maker made this film to let people know who Joseph Kony is and what he has done. He hopes to get everybody together and put up posters all over and buy kits so that he can raise money for the program. His goal is to get everybody, all around the world, to know what Joseph Kony has done and to get the government to help them stop him.
3. I think that the way he is setting awareness is working okay. I think that maybe he could do something different and try to get on Tv or something like that. I think that is has gotten a little bit boring to see all of the same posts on facebook already. I think that the video is really important actually. That is what set off this whole Joseph Kony thing. The video. I don’t know what I would do different cause I don’t even know if I could do something like this.
4. I don’t think that this is a bad idea. I think that we need to make Joseph Kony a celebrity so everybody knows of him. We need everybody in the world to know of Joseph Kony so that everybody can help stop him. I don’t think that their are negatives about this idea.
5. I think that raising awareness is just letting everybody know that someone is going to stop something and that they need a little bit of support. I think that a call to action is more of “we need you to come and help us out!”

6. I feel strongly about getting homeless people off the streets and into a shelter of some sort, especially in Portland. I think that everyone in Portland are effected because you see them on the streets every time that you drive a car or walk or bike around. I think that you can do something about this. I don’t think that you should just give them some money or a home. We need them to work for it. If we just give them a home they will think that they don’t need to do anything they can just get a home for doing nothing. I think that people could help them get a job, and after they have had a job and have some money, and is not spending it in cigarettes or anything, you could help them get into a homeless shelter or a home. We could get attention by wearing stuff on t-shirts maybe. We could have a parade. We could just get a bunch of people together and stand on the streets with posters and stuff.

Hi my name is Ellie and I’m going to talk to you about how I see god in 2 different categories, Emotions and Community.

First I want to talk about Emotions. I believe that we can portray a lot with our emotions. I look at emotions like painting pictures. For example there might be one big picture that is all red or black with splatters of paint showing anger or whatever. We can get out so many things with our emotions. Sometimes it might not be helpful but I think that it is really important to get your emotions out and kind of share it with somebody and not hold it in. Also, I think that god will comfort your when your down, sad or frustrated or any emotion. I think that he will be their and will always understand you and what is going on in your mind.

Now I’m going to talk about community. I think that community is really important, no matter if it is your family, neighbors, friends or your church community. God will show his love for you through your community and you can show his love to others if they are non-believers or believers by serving, and just giving them someone to lean on in their community. I think that there will always be a situation where you or somebody else will need someone to talk to in community. I think God made community so that you can always talk to someone or have someone to lean on to regain your balance.

Thank you for listening!
