Historical Selfies

For this assignment, I chose to complete a tutorial for the Historical Selfies assignment from ds106.

First, I chose my historical figure. I chose Rosa Parks and the day in 1955 when she was asked to give up her seat on the bus.

To capture this moment, I downloaded the selfie photoshop template here.

It looks like this:

First, I decided to use Paint as the program that I would complete the photoshop in.

To use Paint, you have to understand how it works.

First, I clicked File, Open, and chose the selfie template which I downloaded from the website.

Then I found an image of Rosa Parks on Google Images:

Next, I copied and pasted the image of Rosa Parks from Google Images on top of the selfie template, like this:

Then, I chose the Crop tool to resize the image of Rosa Parks to fit the selfie template.

Once I finished, I saved my work as a jpeg image and the final product looks like this:

The Natural and The Abstract

Chelsea Bond

wind your way around the ground

playing in your shade and safety

hope no danger is around

snakes come out in warm weather

they have been around lately

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wormholes water dirt and rock

i know this place like the back of my hand

no busy no people no smog or clock

right here is where i’ll stay

bugs and bees all sorts of things

on a large rock I find a place to lay

chirping lurking sounds all around

i fall asleep to the sounds all around

when i wake i find myself

wrapped up in the world of the natural

much like my ancestors might have

and again i walk the ground

walk back home with the sounds all around

wormholes water dirt and rock

i know this place like the back of my hand

ignore the people ignore the clock

Why do I go back to the abstract world again?

Historical Selfies

In this assignment, I chose “Historical Selfies” from the list of Visual Assignments.

First, I decided which program I could easily access to complete this assignment most efficiently, and 

I chose Paint.

Once I chose to use Paint, I downloaded two pictures:

This blank selfie template was downloaded from the ds106 website:

 

Next, I chose my historical event. I decided to find an image representative of Rosa Parks and her movement for civil rights in 1955, when she refused to give up her seat on the bus. 

I searched her name on Google Images, and found this picture:

 

Next, I created a new file in Paint and opened the image of the selfie template.

Then, I pasted the Google Image of Rosa Parks on top of the blank selfie template.

I used the crop button to re-size the dimensions of the Google Image to fit inside the selfie template.

After that, I erased the “likes” and “screename” and replaced it with this text:

“4,000,000,000 likes” and “rosaparks1955” and “#civilrights” and “#freedomofspeech”

 

Finally, I saved the picture as a jpeg:

 

Then, after it saved, I had my finished project!

Monologue of a Household Tool Assignment

ds106 Assignment #1

This assignment was easy, all I did was write a monologue of what a refrigerator would say.

Monologue of a Household Tool

I see it everyday. The face of indecision, question, and desperado. What should it be today? What do we have here? It’s always the same questions. They just use me, rip me open, and take what they want. Then, they thrust my own body against myself, and they leave. Sometimes I feel so empty inside. Yet, they can fulfill me to the point where I am overflowing. I don’t know how to handle it sometimes. It’s mostly the kids, and the husband that just take, take, take. The mother is always a giver. She is like me, she gives and gives until she can restock again. I can’t help but remain cold and frigid most of the time, that is just how I am. But when I am filled up full of fresh groceries and I see the hungry children reach in for something, I remember that giving, does eventually, mean receiving.
