Return of the Mural People!!!

Hello all! This is one of the Mural People who is speaking on be half of the Mural Club. As of now our mural is getting close to being done and we might be able to finish it soon. We have been painting for about a month now. Battling cold days, people who awe at our work, and people who harass us. We enjoy our time painting even though it frustrates us when we can't make the picture look right. Hopefully we will be able to finish it on warmer days well I got to go. See Ya! >:3

after school party

We the Photo Club went to the NDHS Mix which is for all the after school programs to show what they have been doing. The Modeling Club showed their Christmas clothes and modeled it off. I felt like I was at a modeling show, those girls ready worked the stage! the Music Production Club showed us how they made their beats and played them. Man I swear it was like a professional was making those beats they were hot! We showed all the pictures we took of the Lower East Side and portraits. Some of the students read poetry! They really rocked the house. It was like a poetry club and everybody was snapping their fingers wow!

TRIP TO THE CLEMENTE SOTO MUSEUM

On december 6th our photography class went to Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center and we met Luis Cancel who guided us through art of the well known Lower East Side. Heres a direct link to the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center so you could check it out http://www.csvcenter.com/clemente.html We learned a lot about determined photographers who by photos showed the world what the Lower East Side was all about. The pictures were amazing and we learned about the theaters and the different races that represent the L.E.S.

this is all of us


This is Luis Cancel who guided us through the amazing pieces of work.

The Lower East Side and Mural Club

The Mural Club is good when it comes to painting, but who knew they would be great? I am part of the Photography Club. We had an assignment to go off and find the meaning of the Lower East Side. Me and a fellow photographer, Elizabeth, thought that the meaning of New York can be found with the Mural Club. Spray painting on buildings is one thing that New York is known for. So we headed off to the Tenement Museum. They started off bad, but ended up doing masterpieces. Well maybe I won't say masterpieces, but it's a start to great paintings. Everyone was having a blast and once it's finished we will let you know so you can see the great drawing of New Design High school students in the Mural Club.

Losiaida Cultural Wire

I thought that when Ben, Dennis and I were going to the radio station that it would 105.1 or something like that. But it wasn't - it was a podcast, it was broadcast. This was my first experenice being on a radio show, not to mention a live broadcast. During the progress of getting interviewed you could hear what you just said minutes before. So while I was responding to Luis R. Cancel's questions, I was hearing what I had just 30 seconds before. If you go on the website at eastvillageradio.com you hear that there is a pause I did because I was so nosy I wanted to make sure I souded GOOD. Then I realized that I was supposed to be talking. I wound up saying "Uuummm."
