Last day of the Camp

Last of the camp.The whole week i worked on my final project and today is my presentation day this will be the words i will be saying. Hello Im Evelyn Tapia, I will be a senior this comming fall and i attend to New Vista high school .The name of my App is RollerCoaster and this app help calculate the percentage of the water that will melt by plugging in a a number higher than ten and no greater than 100 and then press the button on the right this wil melt the ice . For the art i change the background i added picture of the internet does were the penguin picture and anew button .in the art part i worked on removing the white areas of the picture with the photoshop program. I also drew a wave picture.In the math part theres a calculater that will convert different units.The programming part i left it the same because i needed and the same code.

Final Details for my project

Wednesday I finish one of my project It has a lot of details sound new background, display. I also started a new lab similar to the first one but different style. I also remember about a website which i spend a lot of time in and its all about sound. Which people can go and check it out if you are ever doing an animation at:http://www.flashkit.com/

Ice melting project

Today 6/16/09
I started my project i was really exited but i knew it would not be easy for me.Its really hard to memorize all the functions in adobe program.I added a lot of new things to my lab. I added a polar bear, a star, ice cube and i changed the background. I will be adding new animations tomorrow.Today i went back to my blog of my specification of my final project to revise it and add more about my final project a little bit nervous because i have to do a presentation this coming friday but i know i will be do great.

1st day at google

Today was the first day at Google and it was my first time at Google.Really impressive place Google is not what i had in my mind.Its way better its such a cool place to be and its fun there was video games set up for people to play. That is fantastic.I had a lot of work time which i used it wisely and i completed a lot of work done.

Specification for the Final Project

Manifesto
During the course of Digital Currents, I learned a lot in the three classes the first class was art it was very similar to the programming, but both different in their own ways. One similarity that both programs had was that both used the computer and the same program the name of the program was Adobe Flash CS4 professional. The differences was that in the art class we created our animations by drawing them an in the programming class we did labs and follow vey specific directions. The next class was math, this class is an overview of the basic math I tock during the school year. Programming class was the hardest class. The reason that I think it was hard for me was because I had never in my life heard about programming and never taken classes or do any kind of work that had to do with programming. The course was a great experience I learned a lot and it was great because I got an over view about of everything. But the most important thing I did is have fun and make new friends.Well for extra work I created a second icemelting lab.

Art
Art class is basely creating your own art and learning the functions of the Adobe program using the tools .One of my work was walk cycle, this worked had a figure of a man from the late 1900s. The purpose of this figure was to make it walk and the perfect tool is the bone tool this helps you connect the different parts of the figure of the animation that you are creating. Another project that i was asked to create was called robot this project had a picture of a blue robot, in this project I had to add shading on the background of the picture add effects. During this class it was necessary to follow because you were going to be creating your own projects. Art for me interpreter of feeling and actions. Demonstrating the knowledge that you gain throughout the course. The way that I change the starter program is selecting different color of the background added new animations. This was a great program because there some people like me that can’t express themselves or not good at drawing can express themselves by doing art for example socially and politically. For my second creation I change the background to a rollercoaster, penguin, a water drawing on the bottom and more details.
Applied Math
During this camp I learned of had an overview of math. Venn diagrams, units of measure. Indexing, interest, probability, doubling times, slopes, and circuits. If in six month someone asked me “so what was the math you did about.”. my answer to these question would be, the camp I had an overview of everything that I had learned in school but it was shorter and faster and I really need that over view because I tock math in my freshman year and now that I’m about to be a senior I can’t really remember all of that information. For example I learned about probability how many chances or opportunities things had. An activity that we did with Eminem two people, had two cups had 50 Eminem in a cup and every time we had to be adding each time more Eminem to see how many Eminem reproduce. An specific way to leaned is to listen and follow along with the formulas and the teacher. The math on the packet said to multiply one day but in the lab was changed to a two days.

Programming
The program of programming was tough because, I had never done activities like these ones and especially with computer I was not good with computer at the beginning of the camp but now I feel like a pro. In my opinion the programming program was very artistic you had to have a lot of patients to be adding codes and creating different labs. The program makes math simpler because all the hard work is on the codes. The code is not just something simple because the code all ways has to have an opening and closing bracket. The code changed the values meaning because in some of the labs you had to write the height, weight and I also could change the color of the symbols of the application. A good example is this following piece of a code.
// Make sure that the given percent is valid
if (percent <> 100)
return;
This code is just asking you to add a percent for example ten percent so that the application can actually melt the ice.

Circiut Day

In the morning in Art class i was working with a robot and a knight in Abobe illustraror program connecting different part of the sketches. One of the students presented this new program to the class. People can eve check it out in this following web. During the math class the teacher presented us a new thing calle circuits and we worked on a sheet of paper that had five different points and with does points we had to find as many ways to get to the same point. In my progrraming class i created a lab of three points and to help people.Reduce their gas cost.
