My Wisdom Tales Project

Hello world! My name is Andrew and I made a wisdom tales project of a comic a few days ago for my class. Wisdom tales is a book that is full of stories with morals. They teach you things about greediness, selfishness, patience, etc. The story that I drew was called The Talkative Turtle. I mad this comic by drawing an image on paper, taking a picture of it, and then inserting it into an app called Comic Life 3 where I could add speech bubbles.

The Talkative Turtle was about a turtle who loved to talk. One day he saw two geese in the swamp that he was sitting at so he asked them if he could fly with them if he bit down on a stick while the two geese flew and bit on the stick too. It all went well until a boy called the geese clever for thinking of the plan, but since the turtle loved talking he wanted to say that it was his idea. In my opinion, the summary of this story was that it’s important to not talk sometimes.

The first drawing that I drew was the turtle sitting in a swamp talking to the two geese. This drawing took a long time and was very hard because I wanted to make the swamp look good and I’m not that good at drawing nature. It took about 1 hour in

 

My second drawing was of the geese flying with the turtle. This drawing was kind of easy but I don’t really like how the drawing turned out. The turtle drawing had barely any effort put into it and it doesn’t look like they are flying that high compared to my next drawing where he was falling through the clouds. I think that it was my worst drawing in that comic.

 

My third and last drawing was my favorite out of that comic. I kind of switched styles in my last one and made it a cartoon style. I think it turned out alright. This drawing was also kind of easy and didn’t take me that long. A thing I like about the drawing was that I put lots of clouds behind him to make it look like he’s really falling from the sky as he’s saying, “IT WAS MY IDEA!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why I Love Cello

Hello world! My name is Andrew Hu, and I love to play the cello. I used to play the piano but dropped it to play the cello. My cello is a full sized cello and bought from Triangle Strings. I have been playing the instrument for one year and a half already. The reason that I like the cello, are because the instrument is very low pitched, it’s satisfying to play a note, and because the cello has so many great pieces that I plan on learning in the future.

Firstly, I like cello because it makes a very low and deep sound. Deep sounds appeal to me a lot. Another thing is the notes. If you didn’t know, to play a string instrument, you have to put your finger in a certain place to play a note on the finger board. Thats the black part of the cello under the strings. And then you have to pull your bow across that string. For some reason, doing this is really fun to me. Even though cello is very tiring for me, I always try my best to practice everyday and get better.

Lastly, I love the cello because of the pieces. The piece that I am playing is called Bach Suite no. 1. This piece is one of my favorites and I have been waiting so long to play it ever since I started. There are so many more pieces that I want to play but are too advance for me such as Bach Suite no. 2, Chopin Nocturne in E flat, and Dvorak cello concerto.
