Endangered Animals project

The Bald Eagle 3D Model.

For this project I chose The United States of Americas Nationals Symbol. Also known as the Haliaeetus leucocephalus. It was almost extinct and declared endangered it needed the endangered species act in order to be preserved, today the Bald eagle is safe from extinction. According to the website Eagles.org there are over 9,800 male and female nesting, Its main causes of extinction were Habitat destruction, degradation and illegal shooting in fact the Bald eagle gained protection until 1940 by the congress and it was named “Bald and Golden eagle protection act” it consists of prohibiting hunting of any type towards the Bald Eagle, habitat protection to keep the Bald Eagle safe. Luckily now its species is expanding and is now safe form any danger due to the effort of the Americans.

This image was used for the inspiration of the model.

The purpose of this project was to chose a animal in danger. In order to make a 3D model of the Bald Eagle I used the following materials “Hot glue gun, Foam shapes, Acrylic craft paint, Plastic jar, carton and some feathers.” The plastic used for the jars contributes to ecological and ecosystem destruction through toxic pollutants, also it can take even thousands of years for plastic to dissolve this can cause even humans and animals to actually consume plastic in our foods without even knowing, We should find a alternative instead of using plastic products even recycling can make a big difference when it comes the environment. The foam used for this project contains polystyrene every plastic and foam product contain this material because its used for daily products such as plates and plastic cups. According to sciencing.com we don’t observe the effects because once solidified the unreacted chemicals are trapped and once thrown away it can make way into water life and compromises fungi survival. Glue can also be a harming factor to the environment. According to suretracksystems.com glue is capable of contaminating soil and groundwater, even though this adhesive has low toxicity rates in water It can still have a negative effect on the surface of big bodies of water.

This is the final product after many hours.

After completing this project it made me think about its true purpose and why we need to take care of our planet, including its animals. Over the years due to hunting, pollution and all the harm to habitats the environment has fallen apart, as humans we even depend on the ecosystem and its animals for food sources and yet we do nothing to save it. According to endangered.com there are currently over 40,000 species in danger. Furthermore wildlife balances the ecosystem and the way we live its critical to start conserving it for a major positive impact for the future.

Feedback of my magazine sketch

 Feedback session 1 After participating in the feedback session of our initial sketches from the tasks I was able to observe many mistakes and errors I made or could have been better. I made wrong use of my white spacing, text boxes and included way to many pages of content; after making these observations I prepared to plan a new layout for each page and minimized the amount of content to the correct amount maintaining my magazine sketch balanced. After all these changes I was able to feel consistency and originality coming from my magazine, I took each feedback tip with maturity to use it as experience; finally I will continue to make changes to my cover which could be better. Here is my initial idea of my fixed sketch which still has a lot of work left, I will continue to ask for feedback to make my sketch better and use these for future projects.

Mise en scène Reading

Mise en scène is considered everything related to a certain film this includes its lighting, costumes, voices, actors and décor. During this quarter of school i spent time doing further research on why Directors use  Mise en scène and how they use it, I came to understand that Film Directors make use of this in order to convoy their message to the public and deliver a feeling of curiosity to the public, this can relate to Stuarts Hall Theory because there is something the Directors want us to encode. In other words the publics perspective of the movie may depend on the setting directors have chosen. Example of Mise en scene As shown in the image above this is a clear example of Mise scene use, the props, lighting, costumes and the chosen place may give us a each a different view on what's happening. By observing the chosen vestment I can tell this was trying to resemble a scene from the past and the props also help me...
