ASF update again

http://www.coe.edu/academics/art

Here is a link to where I have been getting my information on the art department. On this site you will see the many different aspects of art there are what type of people major in art.

ASF update

For the ASF update I am planning on writing about what the Art department is doing during the summer. I sent the department chair an email and he responded with not much is really going on with the department. So now I have decided to focus more on what artwork professors will be working on during the summer and try to write a story on that.

Field Station Update

Hey everyone got a new assignment. The new assignment is an ASF ( alternative story form), this is when we veer away from the traditional inverted pyramid. I am going to be writing it on the wilderness field station that Coe runs. Right now I have a plan to interview either Harlow Hadow or David Hayes. Both are instructors at the station and I cant wait to hear there views on the story. I am planning on getting the basic background information from them. But are limit is 300 hundred words so I am going to be pressed for space. I will keep you posted as more information comes available.

If you want to look up on the field station here is there website

Summer Time

This summer I will doing an internship at Northwestern Mutual. Basically I am going to try to make a lot of money and get my internship out of the way for graduation. I also have a couple trips to Chicago planned and also may be going to North Carolina. A lot of the trips are up in the air right now but one thing I do know is I will be working at my internship. I really don't have a clue what happens at Coe in the summer. I'm sure there are a lot of meetings between staff members.

Slide Show

I am doing my slide show with Garret. We decided to do it about the weight room at Coe and show how students use the facility. While taking pictures I have learned that it is difficult to find good ways to use the rule of thirds. Whether I could get a better picture holding the camera vertical or horizontal. Another difficulty in the weight room is getting girls that are willling to let you take a picture. Guys haven't really had a problem with the pictures. Girls have been less than willing to let us take a picture.

Slideshow preview

For my slide show I am going to be taking pictures of Coe's golf team. I chose this because I am an avid golfer and what is better than taking pictures of something you love. This picture is of Brent miller doing an impression of a pro golfer. I like this one because it shows how much fun they have on the golf course while playing, because they say if you are not having fun you are not truly playing.

My summer

This summer I will be working for the physics department here at Coe. But i will not be working for the whole summer. I plan on doing summer research for half of it than the other half I will be traveling to places such as Arkansas and Texas. But while at Coe i plan to be playing a massive amount of xbox and also going out on the lake top wakeboard and wakeskate. My friends that will be joining me are Jacob Deaton Kris Hopkins and Garret Smith. I am really excited to be at Coe for the summer and I hope that it will be fun.

Photos in Class

This is just one of my practice photos that I took in class when we where practicing for our slide show. I like this photo because it really is a picture of a picture. I took this by taking a photo of someone taking a picture of Jacob Deaton. There are other ones that I took but i could not post. If you would like to see the other ones leave me a comment and I will post the rest.

Slideshow sneak peak

This is just one of the pictures you will be looking at when I post the finalized slide show. Right now we are working on our slide shows, putting them together and adding cut lines. My slide show will focus on the Coe golf team and how they get ready for a tournament. I have some really good images and I hope you will be as excited as me to see them.

News Peg

I finished writing my news peg story. It took a lot of work and research. I interviewed my friend and his recruiter for the marines. I also researched the story a lot because there was a lot of details my friend left out about the mission because he wasn't too willing to talk about the trip. I was pretty dissapointed in the grade Jane gave me because I felt like I put a lot of work into the paper. Overall I think I wrote a good paper, and everyone else that I have had read it really liked what I wrote.

Finally done

I just rewrote my final story for the news peg. I think I did a really good job getting different views on it. I liked the topic I chose because I love to golf and it really showed in this piece of work. I went to the writing center to get extra help with my sentence structure and writing format. They really helped me out down there I would recommend you to go to them if you are having trouble with a a paper. Over all the news peg feature was an interesting piece but also hard to write. It was hard because when you wanted to talk about something else in the topic you really couldn't. You had to stay on topic the whole paper and try not to say something that was not really part of the main story. I believe that mine stayed on topic well and was to the point.

Slideshow

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4999736/

I like this slideshow because it isnt just limited to one topic. This week in pictures recaps all the news events or interesting things that happened in the week. It is also interesting to go back and look at past weeks on here. Not being limited to one topic really helps this slideshow because it makes the viewer look through all the photos because they are not really knowing what to expect with the next photo.

Class Pics

I like this picture because it gives a view of the class as a whole. You get Carrington really engaged in what Jane is saying. Then you have Tim half asleep up front. I think you are really able to get a good idea of the different ways people spend their class time. The reason I like this picture is because there is the majority of the class in it so there is not just one person to focus, you look at this picture for a couple minutes to see everything.

2009 Masters

Hey everyone these are the pictures from the 2009 Masters golf tournament. I was looking at these hoping to see some more amazing shots this year. I hope everyone enjoys.

Contact for interviews

I finally made contact with my friend to get an interview for my news peg. He also gave me the contact information to his recruiter, which I can use as my expert. He brought up a lot of really good points when I was interviewing him. Sometimes I think I get stressed out as a student but talking to him almost makes me embarrassed, hes getting ready to go to war! He also told me how he has to go through process of getting his possessions taken care of while hes gone like his truck. Makes me appreciate the efforts of our soldiers even more.
