Guest Speaker

The guest speaker was very entertaining and educational.It let every students learning style, weather kinesthetic,Auditory,or visual have a chance to stay focused and listen to the information given. Since I am a kinesthetic learner I liked the idea of passing around the calender to see the different art work. I also liked the Fashion design it really took my interest to another level.I want to finish this post by saying the speaker that came in really had me interested of looking into an art institute as one of my college choices.

planning out my images














Ive picked out various pictures for my Elephuman. This including human eyes, a gorgeous sea with a sunset, a baby elephant and of course the one and only Ashley. Im going to make the sea and sunset the background.The elephant is going to be the main character and my eyes are going to be morfed on the baby elephant.







The picture of me is going to be the different characteristics presented on the elephant.


























The eyes are going to be morfed onto the elephant. This is going to give it the elephant human characteristics.





The Elephant is going to be the main character. He is the one who gets to have all the different characteristics changed on him.











































The sea is going to be the background of this morfed character.This is where it lives.





The mermaid's fin is going to be morfed on the elephant as well.

Elephumans Story

Ashley Birnbaum period:2


My imaginary creature is an elephant with human eyes. His name is Elephuman. Elephuman is only 2 years old. He has always wanted to be both human and animal. So, I gave him characteristics a human would have. He mostly is found on a beach with a gorgeous sunset as a background. He is unique because he only likes human food but he hates peanuts, while his friends and family love peanuts, but Elephuman can do not only things an elephant can do but what humans can do as well. His parents are very disappointed in his appearance they as well as friends and family think he is hideous. So he has no friends or family to reach out to. He is looking for a friend or just someone he can spend time with but nobody cares. So poor Elephuman mostly spends his days alone with nobody to talk to. This makes him very sad. He even considers taking back his wish of becoming half he just wants to be normal like everyone else so maybe one day he will actually have a friend. Although he knows the wish was a one time opportunity and no matter what he does he can never change back. Elephuman never thought changing himself would result in such action like this he is very sad, lonely, and disappointed with himself.
