Community

Most people in this world belong in a community, it is a main part of life. Being in a community helps the people inside that community a chance to be themselves. A community can be any kind of group or community that people join. Like, sport groups, community service groups, after school activities, and even social medias.

ROLES IN COMMUNITIES: In a community, there are roles that each person in the group has to have. Here are some of those roles:

  • Leader – listens to the people in the group, and make sure they stay on task
  • Initiator – person who helps come up with the ideas
  • Elaborate – the person/people that elaborates on the ideas and find extra information to help with that idea
  • “Engineer” – the person/people that makes the product or action happen
  • “Recorder” – person that records all that is happening in that group/community

These are the main roles in a group but of cause there are the other people, the members that join and make all of it happen.

HOW TO DECIDE WHAT COMMUNITIES TO JOIN: It is not very difficult to find a community to join. What you have to do first if find something you are interested in. After you have found a passion or hobby, try to find a group that focuses on that idea. Then check out that group and if you see that you are starting to like it, then you have found your community.

WHAT COMMUNITIES AM I PART OF OR WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF: I would like to join more community service group that will help out countries community. I was thinking of maybe helping out in an orphanage every week. In school, I have already joined the Big Brother Big Sister after after school activity. This makes me be part of a community because we get to help and lead children to try and become better in school, this will help them get a better academic future. In future years I would like to join more sport communities, like volleyball or basketball. This will not only help me get better at sports, but also I will meet new people and make new friends.

 

THIS IS WHAT I THINK A COMMUNITY IS ALL ABOUT

WaterColor

In school for my first trimester I chose to do art class. More precise I decided to do a painting and drawing class. It has been very fun these past few months. It was a class were you had the change to be creative, and open-minded. Most of all, it has become one of my favorite classes because of out recent unit. WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS.

I really love this unit, it was something I always wanted to do. It is not only a way to be creative, but it also has a lot of different techniques that you can use, to make your piece unique. Another reason why I like this unit so much is because of the way your piece can look so much different from the other students. Even if we are doing the same image, the way you do it, makes it special in your own way.

In this unit, we had a mini project where we had to make out own flower out of watercolor, with different shades of same color, to show value. I used blue as my color, and made the flower monochromatic, each petal of the flower going from dark blue to light turquoise blue. I am very proud of the way my flower is turning out.

For my final project I am still deciding on what to do, I want to do something that I have not done before. I don’t want to so a seascape, sunset, or flower because I have done those before. I found this very beautiful idea online and I think I would really like to do that as my final project.

I would like to do something like this because I like it when there are a lot of colors under a very dark silhouette. Also, I will starts to make a lot more Watercolor paintings, because I am starting to really love it.

If you think the drawing above it pretty good, it is not very difficult to make. If you are someone who likes to make artistic pieces, and you have never tried Watercolor, I would really recommend it. Also if you have seen a nice watercolor piece before, send me an image, I would really like some new ideas, for when I make a next piece.

Flipboard Magazine Blog Comments

Hey guys,

For today’s challenge I played Game 2. I found many interesting blogs, but I only commented on three. One of them was about how you should be proud of who you are no matter where you come from. The second one was about an anime show, I liked this one because ti was the first blog post I read about an anime, and I thought it was a little outside the box. The last one I read was about surfing. The thing I loved the most about this one was the title. I found it a very catchy hook to the story.

I am sure that there were many other great posts but I think that the ones I read were very well too.

Come check out the blogs too at:
