Instead of a pod or bob of seals, we should call them a bouncing of seals. @eng304cripps @ds106dc #tdc2725 #seals pic.twitter.com/jLGNTJgLjn — Katherine Smith (@Katheri85988147) June 28, 2019 This assignment was pretty fun to do, in my opinion. We were told to come up with a new name for a group of animals. For instance, you’ve heard of a flock of geese or a school of fish. I decided for this create to show the seals some love, since I’ve…
Fun piece of art I did. I'm swimming with scissors and the fishes. @eng304cripps @ds106dc #tdc2719 pic.twitter.com/BBO7nIQ4DL — Katherine Smith (@Katheri85988147) June 23, 2019 This daily create was one of the few ones I did that didn’t involve much technological use. We were tasked with creating a piece of art using only scissors and some paper. I knew I wanted to do something somewhat simple since it’s hard to cut good details with the regular scissors I had. After thinking…
I recently learned that cuttlefish will blur parts of their vision to see specific colors, since they only have one type of photoreceptor (we have 3, btw). This allows them to better be able to change into magnificent colors!@eng304cripps @ds106dc #tdc2716 pic.twitter.com/opuVPVItlQ — Katherine Smith (@Katheri85988147) June 20, 2019 The daily create asked us to reflect on something we’ve recently learned or wondered about. A while ago, I learned that cuttlefish were effectively colorblind since they only have 1 photoreceptor,…
While making a regular gif can be easy, making a gif that goes in reverse, or a FIG, is a challenge in and of itself. I rose to that challenge in this assignment and think I pulled it off pretty well. I started off by sorting through my videos to see if there were any I thought would look cool in reverse. That’s where I came across this clip, which is from my study abroad trip to Morocco. Our class…
Social media and the internet have been said to be as influential as the creation of writing and the printing press when it comes to human communication. With social media becoming a recent phenomenon (almost as old as I am!), it’s interesting to look at prominent historical figures and wonder how they would have used it. For this assignment, I decided to look at Alan Turing and how he might have used social media. Alan Turing was a mathematician who…
When I was younger, I had a dream that involved fish swimming in the air throughout my house. Maybe that was a sign to become a Marine Biologist.@eng304cripps @ds106dc #tdc2711 pic.twitter.com/nor81WJ6iY — Katherine Smith (@Katheri85988147) June 15, 2019 For today’s Daily Create, they had us recount a dream, which could either be a literal dream or a wish we had for the future. I was immediately brought back to a dream I had around grade school or younger. I don’t…
In this assignment, we were asked to take a home video and turn it into a GIF. My family and I tend to take more pictures than videos, so it was hard to find something for this assignment. Eventually, I found this video from about a year or two ago that was of my friend eating some Harry Potter jelly beans. For those of you who don’t know, this particular brand of jelly beans has a wide variety of flavors,…
Not too creative, don't work out, lose track of time without doubt… @eng304cripps @ds106dc #tdc2706 https://t.co/nUL0i09sU9 — Katherine Smith (@Katheri85988147) June 11, 2019 Today’s daily create had us say what our theme song is, which I felt was simple enough. Normally, I would have a lot of difficulty listing off my favorite song when asked, usually because it changes from time to time. Plus, most of the music I like tends to be a mix of different genres. However, when…
In this assignment, we were asked to take a picture from The Big Picture and caption it with something that changes how one views the scenario. Below is the original image I edited from a set of the best photos in May 2019 that involved a college graduation ceremony. I originally thought of the idea for the caption because it reminded me of a documentary I saw about a Flat Earther convention a while back. The people attending the convention…
This assignment was an interesting one. They asked us to choose a color, take a 20 min walk, and take a few pictures with that color included. However, instead of taking a walk through nature, as seen in the example, I thought I’d take a walk through a nearby convention. I choose the color blue, since I love blue, and thought that it would be a unique color for this assignment. My first photo was of this girl wearing a…
