African Proverb

" Knowledge is better than riches"

What does that African Proverb mean to you? How can it be used in your everyday life? Give an example.

What the African Proverb " Knowledge is better than riches" means to me is it's more important to have an education than it is to have a lot of money with a expensive house and unintelligent. This can be used in my everyday life by me staying in school and not having to worry about ever being broke because I can get a good paying job. For instance I want to be an Obstetrician which pays a good amount of money, but in order for me to even get that far I have to finish High School and College. Surprisingly a lot of my family who are around my age are going to be working in the same field of work so I'll be close to them.

08-09 School Year

Clearly one of my goals for this year is to be to school on time. Furthermore I would like to be prepared for my classes by having all of my school supplies, homework, and etc. I think in the beginning of last year I was more prepared for class as far as turning in homework and projects than I was towards the end of school. In fact I didn't start coming to school on time until the middle of the school year. It seems that I got to comfortable in the good grades that I received on my previous work that I didn't think not doing some work would effect my grades. As a result of Mothura Marcia telling me if I was late again I would serve Saturday detention I was on time or early every morning.

I believe the benefits of attending New Media is that you learn more challenging work unlike public schools. I think my weakest subjects was RELA and Social Studies. Although my strongest subjects was Science and Math. In fact I think that I did good in Science and Math because they both were interesting and got me thinking all the time. It's evidence to show that I had no care and interest in RELA and Social Studies. I feel that I did okay last year in DMM but I'll do exceptionally better this year.

PSSA

Ultimately on the Math part of the PSSA I feel I did above advance. For instance during the first part of the math section of the test, I feel I was running through those questions like I was on a track team. Furthermore I always get an above advance score. Therefore, instead of getting an above advance on the math section I want to get an above the above advance score.
It seems likeI especially did above the above advance score. In fact the questions that they gave me to answer was extremely easy. Even though I wasn't able to understand some of the open-ended questions, I had to remember what everyone that I know told me which was to take my time and don't let the question make me put just anything. Another view is that my brain was so normed to being excellent at accomplishing a goal that even the most toughest question couldn't take me down, actually I think that I took it down.
Perhaps those reasons are why I am able to past just about every test that I have taken. However there has been times where the test had defeated me, but I can count on my fingers how many times I have failed a test. In addition to that the pep rally that we had at the high school really got us to get the feel of how fun preparing for the PSSA's could be. In sort that just shows that one I have the scores that I wanted for both reading and math, second thing is that now I know that the teachers know how to get down (and not just with the books), and finally last but not the very least, is that not most schools make getting ready for the PSSA's so boring and drawn out which is why I believe most students just run through the answers while just filling in anything instead of taking their time.

What The Brain Sees

The brain most quickly and easily responds to FOUR major attributes of all viewed objects : color, form, depth and movement.

COLOR
Every color we see can be made with three basic, primary colors - Red Green and Blue AKA RGB.

Secondary colors in light are formed when 2 primary colors are mixed together. When mixed equally, red and blue light will make magenta. Green and red will make yellow. Blue and green will create cyan AKA CMYK.
EXTRA CREDIT: I would use CMYK for printer purposes will make more vibrant because it's more color. RGB will be used for the web so you file will be smaller because it's less color.

FORM
Another common attribute of images that the brain responds to is the recognition of form. Form defines the outside edges and internal parts of an object and has three parts: Dots, Shapes, Lines.
*DOTS: the dot is the simplest form that can be written. Hundreds of small dots grouped together can form complex pictures. Georges Seurat and small other pointillist artist in the nineteenth century used a technique called pointillism.

* LINES
When dots of the same size are drawn so closely together that there is no space between them, the result is a line. Lines whether straight, curved or in combination, evoke an emotion.
moods of lines
1. Curved lines convey a mood of playfulness and movement
2. If lines are thick and dark, their message is strong and confident.
3. if lines are thin and light with a color separation between them, their mood is delicate, perhaps a bit timid.

* SHAPES
The third type of form , shapes, is the combination of dots and lines into patterns. * The three basic shapes are parallelograms, circles and triangles.

DEPTH
If humans had only one eye and confined their visual messages to drawings on the walls of caves, there would be no need for complex illistrations.
but because we have two eyes set slightly apart, we naturally see in three rather than 2 dimensions.

MOVEMENT
Recognizing movement is one of the most important traits of survival of an animal. There are four types of movement, real, apparent, graphic, and implied.
1. real Movement: It is actual movement by a veiwer or by some other person or object.
2. Apparent Movement: Apparent, or illusionary, movement is a type of motion in which stationary objects appear to move. The most common example of this type of movement is a flip book.
3.Graphic Movement: can be the motion of the eyes as they scan an area or the way a graphic design positions elements so that the eyes move through out the layout.
4. Implied movement: is a motion that a veiwer perceives in a still, single image w/o any movement of the object, image oor eye. The most common example of this type of movement is called optical or opt art
