Summary: This week in humanities we watched a documentary about these two guys who hiked the entirety of the Pacific Crest Trail. It was really inspiring and made me want to hike it (not the whole thing though.) We had a writing assignment about one of favorite places inspired by John Steinbeck. In chemistry we had a photoshop workshop on landscape photos and we also did a light workshop where we learned more in depth about what light is. We even lit some elements on fire do see what color certain elements were when they burned. We also did had free work time in both classes. Humanities: This week we wrote and quick little write up describing our favorite place. The catch was that we had to write in the style of John Steinbeck and his intro to Of Mice and Men. I wrote about the softball fields because it is my home away from home. Click the button below to read my Steinbeck inspired writing. Chemistry: This week we had a photoshop workshop on landscape photos where we went out took some photos and then came back to class and processed them in photoshop. Below is my before and after landscape picture. Project Specialty: This week we also signed up for a project specialty. My specialty is B+W Silkscreen Printing. Our job is to develop our understanding of emulsion for screen printing and screen printing technique by creating photographic images on a variety of medium.

We watched a video about light and there was one quote that really stuck out to me. "Different atoms emit different colors of light, if we can measure that light, in principle we can determine what an object is made of, even if we can't touch it." So that is exactly what we did. We took eight different elements put them in contact with a controlled flame and observed what color light it emit. Below are the elements we used and the color that they emit.
