Maya Garaway Week 8: Paper Flowers!

 Did I learn how to make paper flowers because I was procrastinating AP Art homework? Yes! Anyway, here's what I gained from procrastinating so you don't have to! I had a lot of colorful paper and I finally decided to put them to good use. There are many types of flowers you can make with a few simple steps! The main type of flower that I made was a rose. 

To make this rose you need two pieces of paper. One for the stem and one for the petals. The easiest part is the stem. First, you take the paper for the stem and cut it into a rectangular shape. Then, starting from the bottom corner, roll it diagonally to the opposite side. Once you finish rolling the whole paper, glue it in place and then you have your stem! The petals are a bit more difficult. First, take a piece of paper and cut about twenty small squares. From there, shape the squares into heart-like pieces. If you would like to add detail, you can also roll the top part of the heart outwards, to give the shape of the petals. Now that you have all the pieces cut out and ready, just take one of the petals and wrap it around the stem. Once it is in a place that you like, glue it down! After that, repeat the process of gluing the petals until you have a rose!


This is a really cute and adorable art project. It's easy to make and is an amazing procrastination project! I am planning to find some more videos to make more types of flowers so let me know what your favorite flower is!

    This is so cute and creative! I love it! I used to love trying to make little paper-art projects like this one, but I was never any good at it. Maybe I'll try this sometime!

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
