Independent Study / Round 5

This round is more of independent. We need to make our own decision with our work. My teacher was creating a schedule for all of the student to put down their work and any work that related to writing. I think, I like this round the most because most of the work that I have during this class are mostly the work that left over from the last class and I could finish the homework on time. Including in that, my teacher also add some of the reading article and having us reading book and at the end, we will do our book review to our classmate.

My teacher call it a Novel Study. We read the novel and we study the novel by their vocabulary, their component, the format and the main idea of the book. I read a book call “The bad Beginning or Orphans! Written by Lemony Snicket. When I first saw this book, I feel like it really interesting with the cover and the title, but when I read the description, I don’t really want to read it. The description said “ Read something else! If you are like happy ending. This book is not only have sad ending, but it has no happy beginning or in the middle. The book have a little bit of happy scene. The book was amazing. I kind of like this book, but it’s not my favorite book. After finish the book, I am doing the book review with my other friend who read the same book as me and do a short presentation to my classmates.

Beside this reading things, my teacher also have a writing session and it’s about “How to Be happy”. This is about how to be happy when you get something bad or you have a bad situation. I wrote about How to stay positive when battle depression. I have spend almost ten weeks to finish this essay which include, research, correct grammar, finding quotes, inspiration, what is depression and new words using. Until now, I get one amazing essay which written by me!

Goal 1 – No Poverty! / Canada

In the goal number one, it is about No Poverty. I choose to research Canada country because it is my favorite country. I found out that the poverty rate in Canada is 4.8 million people in Canada or 13.9% live in poverty or 1 in 7. What cause the poverty in Canada? Because of the income that each of the Canadian get, it will cause the problem and lead to poverty. The average income in Canada overall in 2005 is $ 63,457 and in 2015 it increase to $ 70,336. In percent it increase 10.8 %. GDP per ca-pita mean your salary per year. In Canada, GDP per ca-pita is $ 42,348.9 in 2016 and $ 45, 032.1 in 2017. Because of of the income is too low, in average 11 Canadians dying per day. However, Canadian government trying to help fight the poverty and they spend billions of dollar annually on poverty.

Have you ever watch the movies or film? Was it good? Do you like it? What is your favorite movie? What kind of genre do you like? What is your favorite movie country? Okay, Let’s stop asking question now. This is the last round and the last exploration for my third year. I was one of the lucky students who get to choose to learn with two Hollywood star. They are Aviv and Lianne. Through seven weeks, we have divide into two team. There are acting class and editing class. We have learn different skill for five weeks and for the last two weeks we have made an amazing film together.

Let’s talk about me 🙂 For this amazing film, we have different roles and I am Production Designer! I am the head of the production designer. My role is to dress up the actor and have all the props ready for them. This role is kind of hard because I need to ask for all the props and clothes for the actor. I enjoy my role and I think, I’ll pay my best effort on doing my role.

What I have learn from this exploration is so much to talk. It’s including the technique of shooting the video, how the different role do their job, types of film, story or explanation behind the story, the evolution of the story and the technique of editing the video. I can say that, after I learn about all those things, every time I watch the movies, I always look at the angle that they shoot, the tone, the design and other things. During the seven weeks that we have learn, our teacher do screening a lot of movies. My favorite movie among all of them is The Matrix.

Ready to film!

Independent Project / Round 5

 

This is the fifth round of technology/multimedia, but I still find it hard as always. I have learned a lot of things in this class which include, Adobe programs, coding and some strategies for researching. Coding seems to be very hard for me because I’m not really interested in coding and it’s really difficult for me. I always keep myself focused on my teacher, so I do not fall asleep and don’t understand anything. But, what’s special for this round is my teacher let us choose what topics that we have learned so far this year to learn more. I decided to choose photoshop and work on it, but I have so many problems. The point is I don’t know how to use photoshop :(. I want to edit a lot of cool picture like on the internet, but I can’t because I have no skill at all. In the end, I decided to use digital drawing to draw and outline some of the pictures in the photoshop.I  want to learn how to use Digital drawing because I see many people create their own cartoon with digital drawing. I’m obsessed with cartoon pictures. I want to draw and create my own cartoon pictures, so I decided to choose and learn more about Digital Drawing skills. I learned this skill by using a website call Wacom.com and I’ve seen some seniors and juniors using that and I try to learn with them. On Wednesday, there is a schedule that I have chosen to learn with my senior. It’s call Visual art project. They teach me how to use it. First, I only learn how to outline the picture and color them with simple picture. At first, I don’t really know how to use Photoshop. In Photoshop, they have so many layers and the layers  need to be in order, so that we can arrange our drawing path. The other thing is, we need to click on the layer that we want to draw, so that we can draw. In this part, I met so many problems with clicking the wrong layer and I don’t arrange it. I solved my problem by asking my friend and discovering things by myself. One thing I hate about discovering things by myself is sometimes my work goes crazy and it disappears. It was not fun to lose my work, but I really enjoyed outlining and coloring the picture. In the future, I think I want to try to draw my own picture and see what is the difference between my work and other people’s work, then I can improve them later. After I learned how to use the digital drawing, I really enjoyed it and I want to continue using it forever. Even though, I’m changing from editing some cool pictures into drawing things in Photoshop, but I have try some of the tools in Photoshop too! Here are some of my photos that I have edited.  

 

These are my drawing that I am using other people photo to outline and do some color.

These are my final products!

Wrap up all lessons/ Round 5

This is the last round of my third years. Woohoo! I can’t believe it this fast. So far this year, I have learn a lot of things such as Calculations with numbers, fractions, decimals, surface area, ratios, measures and volume, percentage, angles, data analysis, rate and speed, and an introduction to algebra. In all of those things that I learn in this year, I think, I do best on fraction, decimals and surface area. I seem to be very focus with these topics. For me, they are the most easy topics to learn in math. The hardest topic for me in math is algebra. This topic is really difficult for me TT. The word that they are using is really tricky and sometime it really hard to understand since English is not my first language. For this round, we are most focus on data analysis and rate and speed. In my opinion, these two topics is not really hard or easy, they are medium level for me. Some words problem of this topics is easy to solve, but as I say, the sentence or question are tricky that is why it make it’s hard for me.

The conclusion, this round I enjoy learning math class because it’s not really difficult and it’s an important topic or lesson for me when I’m growing up or take a test for university 🙂

Humans Of Cambodia – Year 2

Cambodia is a wide country in Southeast Asia. Cambodia have a lot of culture and their own traditional. All of their traditional and culture are all interesting and great. One of the culture in Cambodia is people. Cambodia people are the people that are giving happiness to other and always giving their smile to the other people. They are friendly to other people especially their own people and foreigner.

One of my favorite explorations this year is Humans of Cambodia. Humans of Cambodia is an exploration that talks about human life in Cambodia and get to know more about humans in Cambodia. It inspired by humans of new york. Humans of New York is a website that make by Brandon Stanton. After learning about this exploration for seven weeks, I feel like I get to know more about human life in Cambodia. In the first week I have learned about how to interview people and how to take photo. How we interview people is that we put our note in front of us and ask them question that we write in our note. After I learn how to interview people, I have understand a lot. Learning about people life is really interesting and fun. We went to a lot of different places in Cambodia to interview the people in that place. First we went to russian market. I have learned a lot from Russian market because some people they are busy and they don’t want to talk with us because they don’t want to miss their customer. Some people they are free and they are friendly. So we interview them easily. Some people they are busy, but they are friendly and they kind. So they let us talk with them. This is the first trip that I go and I can improve when I go to other place and I can know whether they are busy or not. Then we went to the place near our school like market, pagoda, school and people houses. The longest trip is Chiso mountain in Takeo. We went to Chiso mountain because we think that on the mountain will have more interesting than our place that we have been go. We went in the morning and come back in the evening. We climbed the mountain and interviewed people on the mountain. The last trip is takhmao riverside in Kandal. We interviewed people a lot and we got to see people ride the boat.

I have learned a lot in this exploration. After I learn this I know how people feel when we interview them, how to talk to people so they don’t get afraid. I can share my experience and share my knowledge to the next generation. I learn from Humans of Cambodia exploration a lot and what I learn from that exploration I want to share to kids and other people. I want them to know their own culture and their own human story.

Wildlife Concern/ Protecting Cambodian Elephant and animals – Year 1

 

This is my first year at Liger. Learning in Liger is really great and I have know a lot of things. I never know and have a feeling that I want to change Cambodia, until I come to Liger.

What’s animals? Animals are the specie that are mostly living and feeding by themselves. What is animals important for human? Well, animals are important for human because human need protein and all the protein are mostly come from animals. Animals also give people entertainment. Animals help to plant more tree and tree help people to live. This year, me and my school going out to see the animal in the zoo and learn about animals. After we learn all of that, we have create a story that related to the problem that they have and find the solutions. In my team, we have six members and we are all have difference role. We have drawer, writer, editor, and coloring the pictures. We are all did great on our jobs and we finish our task. Here are the picture and story that we have made.

 

In the first year, we have a mini exploration and my team was doing about Protecting elephant in Cambodia. People in Cambodia are killing the elephant and get their trunk. Elephants place in in the forest that full of trees. If people cut down the tree, the elephants will have no place to live. We create this exploration for people to know more about protecting animals that we have.

In this concept, I want to share to all of the children in Cambodia to get to know all heritage that they have like animals. Some country does not even have this kind of animals, so we should protect them. If I can, in the future I’ll campaign all of this ideas to the country and to the world. Then I’ll make an event for people to join and get to know of what I have learn.
