My Bead Work Design

My first try at using the bead work software.

Native Beadwork assignment

 Native American bead work is loved and well known for its beauty.A key concept involved in the Native American's bead work is mathematics like geometry for example. The designs shown in the bead work  show four fold symmetry. A lot of times, you will be able to find reflection symmetry in these designs too. In four fold symmetry, the images that were displayed all had rotational symmetry as well and included colorful geometric shapes. The left side was also identical to the right side. The next page of the site, tells us more about reflection symmetry. Reflection symmetry is when you can divide a picture down the middle either horizontally or vertically, and see two mirror images on both sides of the middle. Four base counting is something used in the Native American culture. An example is how a tee pee is made with four base poles. Navajo sand painting also display many types of symmetry. Yupik parka decoration uses reflection symmetry. The Eskimos use their belly button point as an origin and have the same images on each side. One last example of how they used symmetry was in their bead looming which is much like the Cartesian coordinate system. Bead work was created before the Europeans arrived in America. Bead work was used to show history and depict images of events. They can also record messages. Lots of hard work goes into creating bead work and other things with symmetry. 

My Communications

Throughout my day I communicate with others electronically quite often. The most frequent way that I communicate with others is by texting. Texting for me is easy and quick especially when I only need a quick response. I do prefer calling and talking to people, but texting is very easy. My friend unlike me is always using snapchat to talk to other people. I use snapchat once in a while, but not as much as her.

Scavenger Hunt Reflection

I liked this activity. I thought it was easy and got me thinking on how to get the information I needed in the fastest way possible. I'm good at only searching for key words to get a refined search. I could improve on trying to use other search engines and ways of finding things instead of googling everything. I could also improve on refining my searches even better to be directed right to my answer.

Me

My name is Julia Pustizzi and I am currently a Sophomore at Reading High. I am on the cheer leading team and also on a cheer leading team that is year round outside of Reading. I love spending time with my friends and family. I also like to watch movies. My favorite movie is Bridesmaids. I also enjoy reading good books. My favorite book is Catching Fire. In school my favorite subject is history because I find it more interesting than any of my other classes. My favorite season is the fall because my birthday is in fall, the weather is just right, and I love Halloween and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because I get to spend time with all of my cousins and eat good food. I love to travel so when I am older I hope I get to travel the world and become a photographer.

Computer Buying Project Parnter Review

 Working with my partners on the computer buying project is easy. We each divide the work into equal parts and have no problems. Everything has been great so far.
