Computer Drawing assignment 1

Article 1  This was my first editorial I choose to do about  “A Letter to Women,” published in The Collegian. The author was Brendan Rhatican, in the letter he discusses the relationship between the amount of clothing women wear in correspondence to level of respect they get from their male counterparts. He asked that women wear more modest clothing so that they would be more respected by men and develop deeper and more meaningful relationships. Everything discussed in the letter has many different points but they all come down to the way women act and dress.

Article 2 Is about selling obesity at school. It talks about the wide range of unhealthy food sold in vending machines, football games, snack bars, and a la carte food lines they give some healthy alternatives on things that could be changed and talked about how some schools have implemented to get away from it. It also tells some things you can fix to help these kids get more nutritional benefit from the food they eat.

Article 3 This is an editorial on organic farming it talks about what organic farming is and it also talks about the pros and cons of doing it. It lightly informs you about the current method of farming and with the chemicals, pesticides, and gmos but primarily sticks to the option of what it is and how it is different.

first day

This is my first day of class in Computer Drawing, and so far it has been a very productive day. I not only started my first blog, that I have created on blogger (tumbler being the other option), but I also learned of several new ways to back up my files and art designs. One way of backing it up is drop box and the other is time machine, time machine is very useful but only applies to mac users.
