Playblasts
I modeled a red ball and used the stretch and squash reformers. Animation slower in Playblast than in Maya.
I modeled a park bench and made it ghoulishly levitate.

Lesson 2 (Finished)
I found the door very easy to make and even experimented a little bit with the Insert Edge Loop Tool and Extrude to (attempt to) create a little bit of design on the door. I did not like using the curve tool as much, but I can see how it could be useful.

Lesson 1 (Finished)
Techniques:
To build this alleyway/city, I used the NURBS Primitives shapes, the move tool, the scale tool, the rotate tool, and the component select tool.
Difficulties:
I occasionally found it difficult to navigate through the dense wilderness of buttons that is Autodesk Maya, but outside of this, I had few difficulties.

I particularly fond of my lightposts and my courthouse at the end of the street, though making the entire town was pretty fun.

My Reflection Essay
2013 Reflection Paper
The classes I had this 2012-2013
school year, my junior year of high school, at AMCHS have had a great effect on
me. This year I have acclimated to life in College Station, completed a 26,000
word novella, and decided on a general career path I believe I will be happy in
pursuing.
I moved to College Station in
September from Seattle, Washington. Adjusting to a school the size of A & M
Consolidated High School was not easy (it’s like Hogwarts in here—I swear the
hallways move) and finding a new friends group proved to be challenging.
However, the kind and help community at AMCHS made my transition much easier
and I now feel at home College Station. Joining organizations like Art Club and
National Honors Society were also very helpful in adjusting to life in College
Station.
I also wrote my own novella, The Kingdom of Nothing, in November of
this year. Making the time to write and edit my work was equally challenging.
To meet my goal of writing 500-1,500 words a day, I often had to stay up late,
or write during my advocate. Regardless, my perseverance and the support of my
friends here at AMCHS helped me reach my goal.
Finally,
this year I resolved to pursue a career in Computer Science. My Graphic Design
class aided me in making this decision greatly as it was through this class that
I discovered my enjoyment of all things design. I greatly enjoyed the level of
creativity and ingenuity the class demanded. Though I am unsure if I will
pursue a career in only Graph and Web Design, Animation, or Programming, I am
excited for my future.
In summation, this school year at
AMCHS was highly influential and helped me grow as a person. I look forward to
my next and final year at AMCHS next fall.
