My first step was to make 4 ideas on one page because I needed somewhere to start off.  Then, I needed to try out different medias to see which one I wanted to use. Next, I chose one of the ideations I made, and made them into a full sized rough draft so I could try out different medias, and trace the design onto my final draft. Then, I traced my rough draft onto a blank sheet of paper over a light table, chose my final colors and medias, and made my final draft! The best part of this assignment for me was to make the dripping part of my name because I learned about beads, and how shaking the paper would make the bead into a drop, forming a drip. I also learned that I could manipulate the paint in a way so I could make the drips end in the middle, looking like this is happening in front of you. The most challenging part about this assignment was recovering from my mistakes because there was a red splotch that happened by accident, and I had to ma...

What is 3/4 divided by 1/8? You need to know how to read every question before you start any math problem because that is where you start off your math thinking, and understanding. You can read this question as "How many groups of 1/8 go into 3/4?". An easy way to solve this is by converting 3/4 to 6/8, then you know that 1/8 goes into 6/8 6 times. The way you solve this problem using reciprocals is to turn the second number upside down meaning you would turn 1/8 to 8/1 and then change the division to a multiplication sign and do the problem like a fraction multiplication problem. Multiply the numerators, then the denominators, and change the improper fraction (if it is) back to a proper fraction or mixed number.  → This model shows how many times 1.8 goes into 3/4 of a whole. The bar is broken up into quarters and eighths. Then I counted the amount of 1/8 in 3/4 of a whole.  ↓
