Visual Diary: Visual ElementsFor this assignment, you will be creating one Visual Diary and a supporting summary of what you found.
Your collection of photos must be visual representations of specific formal elements of art.
Your summary must identify the medium for each object/image and the formal element for each object/image. Follow the instructions below for the introduction and step by step instructions.
The goal for this assignment is to carefully view the world around you, and to identify visual elements and mediums, in your personal daily life. I guarantee you, they are everywhere! Once you see it, it will be hard to unsee it!Line, light & value, texture & pattern, shape & volume/form, chance, color, time, movement exist all around us in nature and in the things that humans make and build. Look to your surroundings: from the computer you’re working on, to the leaves on the trees! These are all described as Formal Elements of Art, sometimes called the Visual Elements.
For this assignment, please refer to the Canvas Content pages specifically: Analyzing Art: Different Approaches (Chapter 1 Supplemental Materials)Analyzing Art: Different Approaches (Chapter 1 Supplemental Materials) & Analyzing Art: Formal Elements (Chapter 2 Supplemental Material) and/or Chapters 1 and from our required textbook: Exploring Art A Global Thematic Approach.Before you begin, look to the examples from the module and/or textbook, and as you are reading about analyzing art and the formal elements of art look to your surroundings in your home (this project does not require leaving home).
Are you able to identify examples of as the relate to our collective Visual Culture: (Fine Art, Popular Culture, Craft, and or Specific Disciplines like drawing, photography, or sculpture)? I bet you can: A silkscreened print, a drawing, or a painting?-that’s fine art
School pictures of your kids?- that’s photography.
Action figures?- that’s popular culture.
A mask you made?- that’s sculpture.
A car you’ve been working on restoring?-that’s popular culture and sculpture.
Fabrics, a crocheted clothing item, a pot, a handmade basket, or jewelry?- sounds like craft.
Look to your personal items, manufactured items and handmade items.1. Now that you have analyzed these objects in your life, and identified how they relate to our collective Visual Culture (based on the list above and this module), start taking photos of just one formal element (line, light & value, texture & pattern, shape & volume/form, chance, color, time, movement) of your collection using the principles of design/composition (balance, rhythm, proportion & scale, unity).2. After you have collected 9-12 examples of your selected element, make a visual diary of all you have found. You will be creating a collection of photos (see examples below for format & arrangement only). Follow these steps: (1) You will have to take your own photos, (2) arrange them just as you see below. (note: the arrangement can vary in format, square/rectangle/fancy borders) 3. Explain (in text or video) how your images in the collection are examples of the visual element/sthat you are describing and what parts of our visual culture these images belong to. In other words; if you are showing us images with the visual element of line, make sure to describe how each image/object creates line, etc. Do the same for medias; be very clear and obvious in your descriptions :)Note: each collection does not have to include only only one formal element. Ideally, we do want just one type of formal element; however, what you can do, is create a a collection all the same type of art and different formal elements (line, light & value, texture & pattern, shape & volume/form, chance, color, time, movement), OR create a collection of various types of art (Fine Art, Popular Culture, Craft, and or Specific Disciplines like drawing, photography, or sculpture) and the same formal element. This will provide a “do-able” challenge!
Example: Below is an example with a few photos (collaged as a single file) all showing examples of the visual element: LINE. You may select any visual element, just as long as all of the images are showing the same visual element. A collection with just one element can appear more cohesive and provide a deeper look into the individual characteristics of the one element.
Guidelines for Submitting this ProjectPlease use this numbered format in your summary. Thank you for this :)Your projects (all 3 points below) may exist in a word doc, jpg, or pdf . You have creative freedom of how this is presented. You can upload your visual presentation and description/self analysis as single or separate documents. (See Submitting Individual Project Assignments for more details).Upload your visual diary based on a visual elements. Don’t have a smartphone or an app that will create a instant layout? That’s ok, use this pc/ Mac friendly website: https://www.photocollage.comLinks to an external site.. It’s incredibly easy! From there, you can paste your jpeg image file into a word doc or upload- depending on how you prefer to send in the work.
List which formal element your diaries display (they have to be based on this week’s module and/or textbook content).
A brief and clear description and self-analysis of how the images you are sharing all fit into our visual culture based on that formal element. This may be typed or video/audio recorded.
How do I record a video using the Rich Content Editor?Links to an external site.Thank you! I hope that through this scavenger hunt, you begin to see the formal elements all around you and that you are able to see the many medias we are surrounded by!

Welcome to class! I am your Professor, Cindy Morrin! I have been teaching and counseling for over 25 years. In addition to Cuyamaca, I have taught at high schools and graduate level universities. I got involved in online teaching early in my career and feel it is an excellent way in learning. As a natural introvert, I find online learning a great way for me to learn and teach. However, I believe extroverts love online learning as well.
My career pathway is similar to many but unique to me as well. I come from a low-income family and had a lot of family trouble and trauma occur during my lifetime. My parents were teenage parents and then my step-parents were even closer to my age – more like older siblings. I had to raise myself as all the adults in my life suffered from their own intergenerational trauma and continued to pass it on. I’ve had family members go to prison and others die from drugs and alcohol. What helped me get through my rough childhood experiences was education and resilience and a fight to get out of a system of abuse. I love teaching this class because this is a class I needed as a teenager and young adult starting life and college. I hope you will reflect and journal on your life in this class as you embark on your college and career journey. I hope this class will help you overcome hardships and obstacles you might be facing or may face along your pathway.
I went to SDSU as an undecided major. I first pursued Business and even got a job at a bank. The banking job was a good job while in school and I enjoyed it, but it also made me realize business was not the major for me after all. After taking a leave of absence to try and figure out what I really wanted to do, I ended up changing my major to English and eventually I pursued a teaching credential. I became an English Teacher and then later got my Master’s degree at Point Loma Nazarene University in Counseling. After working in alternative education, the first Charter School in San Diego and as a high school counselor, I eventually found my pathway to Cuyamaca College to work with students like you. I have been at Cuyamaca full-time since 2006 and love the community college system.
I have held jobs since the age of 16 and every single job has helped lead me in my career and a place where I have gained valuable skills. In addition, my jobs are what helped me survive the family dysfunction and get myself in school. This is also an important part of your career journey and I will be recommending and referring you to our career center to explore work-related opportunities such as internships while you are in school.
Above all, I am a mom! I have two amazing adult sons. My oldest is a Music Professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston and my youngest is pursuing his PhD in Mathematics at UC Irvine. Both went to Ivy League schools for undergrad. My youngest actually went to Grossmont Middle College and I got to be his Counselor as he earned his certificate in math/physics/engineering before starting his college. Cuyamaca and Grossmont rock if you are in high school and taking this class!
I am back in school myself! I am pursuing a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology – San Diego campus. I am doing my research on adverse childhood experiences (ACE’s), parental narcissism, and CPTSD. It is pretty heavy stuff! Whew! But, I love it! I’m very excited to use the skills in the class I teach to continue my learning with all of you!
For fun, I spend lots of time with supportive, healthy friends and colleagues. We love to hike all of San Diego county and eat good food together. I also love yoga, meditation, gardening, creative arts and writing projects. Lastly, I am constantly outdoors, enjoying sunshine and nature!
Instructions
Now, I want to hear about all of you….
Tell us about yourself… What brought you to my class today? What are your career aspirations and future educational goals? What have you done so far? High School? Education? Internships? Hobbies? Do you work? What is your major or area of interest so far? What do you do for fun? Tell us about your family. Feel free to record a video and upload it and send photos. I welcome creativity and options!

Sources must be from the APUS library. let me know asap if i need to help get the sources.
This week, you will submit an annotated bibliography for two (2) of your sources for the final project paper. Both sources should be scholarly (peer-reviewed) and from the APUS Library. Read the instructions for upcoming assignments so you will have a good idea of sources you might need.
Each source (listed in alphabetical order) should have a complete Works Cited or References entry for the citation style you are using, as well as an annotation, which should be a paragraph or two summarizing and evaluating the article. Information about the author’s credentials and publisher’s credibility may be included. Value of the sources to the final project paper should be part of the annotation. (Summaries/evaluations under one hundred words each will be considered under-developed.)
Write in third person only. It’s a good idea to include a signal phrase, direct quote or paraphrase, and a parenthetical citation within each summary.
To format your Works Cited or References entries, you may use the library cite button discussed in the week four Lessons. Include the article’s web link (the https address—not just the doi) at the end of your Works Cited entry. Just copy and paste it from your web browser, if it is not already included. Examples are shown in the attached Template (which you will download) and Sample (which is attached to show you an example of what a good submission looks like).
Submit your assignment as a Word document attached to the assignment link so it can be automatically processed through Turnitin. Use the template provided. You can save the template with a title like this: Your Name_Annotated Bib.
Here is my topic choice.
My topic of choice is going to be: Hybrid Cloud Data Governance. Being the focus on the integration of public and private data centers, it is necessary that the company data management should be secure, compliant, and efficient. These days, the importance of both private and public cloud solutions has expanded and businesses are looking for a middle ground for flexibility in decisions, and security as well. In the case of data governance issues in such scenarios, my paper will identify useful solutions.

As we saw on the instructions for Unit One – Textual Analysis, you will be asked to select a “big question” for the semester. Chapter 30 of the OER says that “[W]hen you perform research, you are essentially trying to solve a mystery—you want to know how something works or why something happened. In other words, you want to answer a question that you (and other people) have about the world. This is one of the most basic reasons for performing research.”

Part One:

Why do you care about this topic?
What are your current concerns, viewpoints, and/or attitudes toward it?
What might you want to express to others about it?

What search engines did you use?
How many hits did you receive?
Skim a few pages of your Internet hits, and estimate how many of these results are relevant, timely, and credible?
Give the biblographic information on one relevant and credible listing, formatted to MLA style.
Topic can be difference views of politics or something related
