Art of STEM 2015
Show moreThis image was taken as I was trying to find interesting pictures of plants and flowers around my school. We had to get close, fill the frame and find life to capture. I found bees and flies, and was able to find this bee sitting on the flower. Print size: 8x10

Show moreThe idea for this project just popped into my head. I put a fire place and a recliner to give a look of old-time houses, like the inside of a brick house. I love those houses so I interpreted it into my piece. We studied Art Nouveau and had to incorporate patterns found under the microscope and depth of field throughout this piece. I used streptococcus cells because they were really simple cells to draw and perfect for the boy's shirt. For the chair I used onion skin cells because it looked like leather. I used stem cells to decorate the wall. They are circular and are a nice color. Lastly, I used Australian Pale Lager crystals as seen under the microscope for the floor. It's carpet, so I picked a weird, but cool pattern. Print size: 12x14

Show moreGetting close, filling the frame, moving objects from the middle was my intended focus as I took many images of plants and flowers during class and on my own. I found this image and many others at the Botanical Garden and around my home and school.

Show moreWe were studying how to manipulate the aperture on our camera and to make the depth of field short and create an image that has dramatic blur. I chose this as my best image because it took me a long time to finally get a decent picture and learn how to take the photo right. Print size: 8x10

Show moreBeing able to manipulate your shutter speed makes picture taking easier because, if you need a clearer photo you can speed up the shutter speed. If you want a blur you can slow it down. I needed a fast shutter speed to be able to capture Keyshauna in action. She looks as if she is just hanging there, in flight.

Show moreI created this image after studying about the Forensic Sciences. One of the areas of Forensics that we learned was about fingerprinting; what they look like and what they mean to us personally. This fingerprint is mine along with the story that goes with it. That's why it is personal to me and no one else. This entry won an honorable mention for the high school category.
