Art - The following are the instructions for our current Art assignment. You will have one more class to work on this assignment before it is due...
Task
- You will create a personal “logo” for yourself.
- The logo can be whatever you want it to be, but it should communicate something that you stand for. (i.e., a mountain or large slope could represent that you take every journey that allows you to go the extra mile, because that’s a destination that is never crowded).
- You could also have a slogan to go along with your logo (i.e., “Go the extra mile. It’s never crowded.”)
- Apply at least 2 of the following elements of design in your logo…
Health- Please complete the task below. You will have one more period on Monday to work on this, and then it will be due on Tuesday.
For those who I spoke with, the question I have asked you to answer the question, "How can stress be a good thing". If I have not spoken to you about this, then you are doing the task explained below. (Due Monday)
- We have done extensive study of the brain, stress & anxiety. Your task is to now self-assess how well you deal with stress. You can do this in any way you would like, but some options may be…
- An artistic picture
- A whiteboard presentation
- A concept web
- A journal entry
- Point form notes
- Any other method you find will help you reflect.
- Once you have reflected, create some point form notes which represent what you believe are meaningful next steps to help you improve at dealing with stress.
Health - We have been learning about the brain.
