My project is doing a fund raiser for JDRF by selling tie-dye t-shirts. I think the JDRF is a good foundation because it is helping to improve the lives of type 1 diabetics and eventually find a cure for diabetes. This foundation is also personal because I have type 1 diabetes and I want to raise money for the foundation and also spread awareness about it.

The purpose of my genius hour project is to create a children's book that teaches the process of a bill becoming a law to children. The essential question that i hope to answer is " How will children respond to the teaching of the bill process broken down in a simpler form?". The reason that I chose to do this project was because I am very interested in the law/ politics field and I hope to go in to a career of law, so this project will help me better understand the process and possibly help children in the process. The book will be told through a third person perspective that narrates "Bina's" journey through the bill process on Capital Hill. The story will go into detail of the major steps of the bill process and teach each step.

The purpose of this blog is to see how well I can do on different art techniques and styles. Throughout the nine weeks that are given to me during the genius hour project I will be trying different styles of art each week. There are many types of art, there is graffiti, realistic, cartoon, anime, and even landscapes. To do each of the styles they require different techniques in order to master each one. Techniques are the strokes of the pencil whether you are doing lines, shapes, shading, or watching the way the light hits the photograph. Although some art like realistic, it requires you to see what is truly there. It makes you go against your brain and see what is truly in front of you, which is not a triangle for a nose. By the end of the nine weeks I hope to have enhanced my brain past their limits that I have set, and go for beyond my boundaries to venture out and explore art in a whole new way. Throughout the period of time things that I have gathered to help me or things that my mentors have given me help on to make things easier, I will share and I hope to help those gather interest in art, for it is a way people to express themselves non-verbally

The Purpose of my project (Sam Dunk) Is essentially self explanatory for my project i will try to challenge my self to learn how to dunk . From a more moral standpoint the point i am making is that height is no obstacle for anyone.anyone. Basketball legends such as Spud Webb And Muggsy Bogues we some of the shortest people in the NBA yet the were one of the greatest at what they did from the clutch game winners to the monster Slam Dunks. This project is a very intresting because of the challenge it will bring to one of my favorite hobbies.
