Multicultural Assembly

At the end of Multicultural week, Mission San Jose high school students celebrated with an assembly representing the various diverse cultures around the world. Dances from traditional chinese arts to taekwando amazed the audience.

The bar of expectation is set by the Wushu performance

Pop-ups are difficult, but this person makes it look easy

It's hard enough to jump with two feet--he does it sitting

Delicate dancing strikes a contrast with the forceful Wushu and Taekwondo performances

Mighty kicks go higher than I can jump

Story with a photo

During the wintertime, San Francisco's scenery is remarkably beautiful and awe-inspiring--

although it's beauty only enhances throughout all four seasons.

In March, I took this photo while taking a refreshing bike ride across the Golden Gate Bridge. Throughout the ride I was afraid of falling through the bars and bolts that seemingly securely hold the gate's bridge. However, as I continued my bike ride, I focused solely on the slow waves and calm serenity of the vast scenic view.

MCW story

During Multicultural week, starting April 12th-17th, students shared new experiences for different cultures and countries. During lunchtime, different clubs and classes sold various unique foods that allowed students and faculty alike to divulge into new flavors.  Every day there's a different color theme that students dress up to that represents each continent's unique culture. Starting Monday, the majority of the class population flooded the horseshoe, where foods ranging from curly fries to milk tea were shared. On Facebook, students changed profile pictures to advertise the various food being shared to support their club or class. The different classes- 2015,2016,2017, and 2018-sold milk tea, Chipotle, In-N-Out, and Eastern Winds respectively. This year, Mission San Jose adapted a new ticket system where students preordered tickets to use as currency instead of dollar bills. This process is used to prevent club embezzlement of money. Overall, multicultural week is a fun and learning experience for students.

Shutter Speed and Everything After

Photo

1. Fast or slow - why?
Fast because the highway shows that the cars are moving really quickly.
2. Motion-The trucks are moving fairly quickly.
3. Element of Art - Color 
The colors blue and red really stand out from the background and the hazy fog surrounding the highway.
4. Principle of Design 
a. Leading Lines- The lines of the highway lead toward the center to the trucks and the eye follows the lines that the truck makes towards the end of the street.
b. Depth: There's depth because there's a railing in the foreground and the trucks are in the mid-ground to the background.
In the photo, the truck's vivid colors really contrast with the dull gray sky. This causes the viewer's attention to shift to the trucks.
