Lecture Reflection

Eric Garcia  When I saw the lecture, it was not surprising to hear that he had to work around political prisoners when working on his drawings. It can be hard to work on paintings when so many things are politicized, even if you do what a majority of the people around you agree with because there will always be someone who goes against your views. I have views that most people around me agree with, and I work with others to see what they think. When doing so, I get to have the opinions of others, and they help me see what I can do to work with what a majority of the people around me like. When he made murals of calaveras for the Day of the Dead, it looked good to me because I knew they were important for the memories of their ancestors who got them there. Looking back on my ancestry is important to me too, so I can see why they want to do it as well. It is important to know how your ancestors got you where you are today because you otherwise will not know how you got to where you are

Haas Cars

Image
Hi, I am Andy, and I am working on a project about cars. When I watch car reviews, I look at how the features work, I think about what features are worth buying, interior space, interior comfort, practicality, and how the car drives. All of those things are worth thinking about when you are shopping for a car because there are features that are good for the car so you can see how much of each of those things would be best for you. When it comes to interior comfort, think about passenger space, cargo space, seat comfort, and shape of the cargo area and passenger area. Check to see if tall people will fit in the car, if it is accessible for everyone, how much cargo would fit in it with the rear seats in place, and how much cargo space it would have with the rear seats folded. It is also important to think about how comfortable the seats themselves are, and if they are, that means people can sit there comfortably for a long time. When it comes to the way the car drives, there are also

Badlands Environment

Image
I was in the Badlands of South Dakota in the summer of 2021, and it was a breeze. I could not believe they were called the Badlands because I liked it there even though there is no water you can drink there. I hiked across various paths, and I found interesting patterns in the mountains there. There were various hills and mountains, and they had things like cacti there. When you look at the badlands, it is quite dry, but there is plenty to look for. I hope you get to go there one day if you are interested because it is fun to hike around in places like this. I hope you get to visit places you would like to visit, including the Badlands because it is fun to be there even if they are called the Badlands. They only call the place that because there is no water you can drink there. It is a fun place to hike though, and I got to see what prairie dogs' habitats look like there. It was also nice to see what other animals' habitats looked like there too. I hope you get to visit a place

Andy's Passions

When I first started thinking about the project, I thought about making a video telling you about myself, and I wanted to describe myself in even greater detail by showing you what I can do, showing you how I do it, and showing you how passionate I am about doing it. I can teach you about my passion for cars, and I can teach you about my passion for music. I watch car reviews, I do choir, and I do one on one voice lessons. I love all of those things because they are all things that I enjoy doing because they fit in with my interests. I know which car is which model most of the time, and I can tell whether it is the current generation or a past generation. When I was walking along the sidewalk on the side of the road, I named each car that was parallel parked, and I sometimes described a few things about the cars. When I point out a car from a past generation, I look back on what it was like to have a car from that era, and I think about how times have changed, and there is a place wher

Hide and Seek

It was fun to see what I could do as far as recordings go. When it comes to being spiritual, I thought it would be cool, but we are not quite at the right time of year for a Christmas song yet, so I decided to try another song. I decided to try a scary song since Halloween is coming soon. It is a good song for October because it is about a scary person hunting for someone at the person's house. I thought it might also try adding some other sounds that fit in with certain lines of the song. I added the sound of footsteps in that part, and the sound of breaths when I sing that line. I also decided to sing it, but when I sing falsetto, it was kind of hard, even if I sing it an octave below what the artist was doing because she sang really high. When I sing that way, it is hard for me to reach the high notes, even if I can do it. Since I am used to singing low, I have an easier time with that, and it fits my range the best since I have a really low voice. People still say I sound bette

The Fox River at Night

Image
I thought it might be good to see what the Fox River looks like at night since that is when people are less likely to walk through it. Of course, it is much darker, and there are lights on in the parking lot at Eagle Point Senior Living, and you can see the lights from the building itself. I also took pictures of the river up close by the path where they did it. It is nice to see the difference between the Fox River during the day and at night because it can give you an idea of what the differences in the environment are. When you see the difference between the flash and night vision because it helps to see which one is brighter. It looks like the pictures are brighter with flash because there is a light shining on what is in front of the camera, but things are visible enough when the camera is in Night Vision Mode. The nice thing about seeing a brighter photo with the flash is it helps to see the photo better with lighting. The nice thing about seeing the photo via night vision is it

Looking Back on the Past and into the Future

Image
I thought it might be good to see how the past and future can relate to cars. Seeing the wagon pulled by horses in the rearview mirror can help as far as that goes because the rearview mirror is from a modern car while the wagon is old fashioned. There may even be more cars with a camera that can show its display in the rearview mirror soon, and maybe even have it as a standard feature in some cars. When you look back on the past, think of how much different things were back in the day versus now. There have been lots of improvements made to cars for a long time. In 1954, Subaru started making cars, and now have been doing so for nearly seventy years. In fact, they started making electric vehicles recently. There is also a page in The Medium is the Message that talks about it. There is a rearview mirror with a wagon pulled by horses, and it helps to see that when we look back, we understand the difference between the past, the present, and the future. There is also the view of other ca
