Wild afro: Put a scarf around it so it can look fashionable like Erykah Badu No edges: Use the black hair spray on the part were there is no hair and put an bow on the side of your head Short hair: flat iron it and then put on some leave in conditioner to make it curly and look fuller. Long hair getting in your face: put it in a ponytail but leave a piece of hair out so you can make a bang and add a ribbon to the ponytail. Uneven hair : flat iron the short side.

Animation with IT Women Animation is a cool thing for technology. What my group did was illustrate where our character would be landing in the cartoon. We decided that our character would land in a colorful rainbow of mud. Also, the sky will be full of colors like blue, green, purple and pink. It will be windy with rocks rolling and grass swaying. That’s a little something that we put together. I also learned that animation can take a very long time to create. What I am going to do is learn more about 3D animation. This is going to interesting. I really enjoyed learning about animation.

SNAPS: POETIC EXPRESSIONS Lonely
Hiding Behind Eyes
Lonely life no friends
Behind the eyes where people can’t see
I feel I have to change the way I am I feel no one likes me! By Hanna Perry
You’ll find me I’m invisible Look at my face and I’ll give a smile However people don’t think They don’t see what’s right in front of them
Bullying Kids that are bullied should standup
I go everywhere But people are blind to what they can’t see Which is me
And say something
Because I hide behind eyes
By Myha-Simone Hall
By Kyerstein Ferreira
Follower
I Am Invisible
Pretending to be someone I’m not
Am I the bear who no one likes?
Desperate to follow the crowd So I won’t be left alone Trying to be a leader But
Do they see me? I’m so self-conscious about what they thought I cut my head with a pair of scissors Now everyone’s sad
No one wants to follow a
Maybe I wasn’t invisible after all
NOBODY
