Fundamentals of digital media was the first class that I have taken online. At first, I wasn't sure what to expect from an online art class. This course was very helpful, yet one of my favorite classes because it was fun to see what kind of online application we were using each week and if I could use this program outside of class. I gained knowledge using different online editing programs such as photo editing and sharing basics (Pixlr, Flickr and Animoto); making a mix down of digital audio (soundation); creating generative art (Scribbler, Scribbler Too and Flame); Typology becher grid (Pixlr); text-based art (Glass Giant ASCii, Tagxedo, Textorizer and Excoffizer); Vector Graphics- designing logos (SVG-edit); 3D model (Autodesk 123D); an artist website (Google sites) and proficiency with online backup software and a back up system to maintain and keep my computer up to date. I wouldn't have even known all these programs were available to me for free if I hadn't taken this course. During this semester I've learned of many resources I can use in the future.
I plan on pursuing a career in Biology with a minor in business. Also, I planned on opening a business of my own someday and I can use the programs I became familiar with over the course like creating a blog, creating a website, vector graphics (SVG-edit), tagxedo, proficiency using photo editing software like Pixlr, sharing software programs (Animoto and Flickr), along with problem-solving skills. The skills I've learned throughout this semesters course are to budget my time in order to make deadlines, although, there were some assignments I've submitted past the midnight deadline but that was because I wanted to make work that was pleasant to my viewers and that I was satisfied with. Also, I need to continue working on my ability to give some substantial feedback to my peers. I'm just not that talkative unless I'm comfortable which takes time, which may also be why I wasn't that talkative. I am learning to give and get constructive criticism which I think opens your mind to think about how other artists perceive things. I really enjoyed this course and along with the help of our professor Phoebe from time to time I believe I was successful.

TwoSilly Girls
Above is a Flickr Slideshow of pictures of my two favorite girls in the world, my nieces.
The older one name is Makennah she's 13 and the little ones name is Arianna she's 6. Makennah is very caring and helpful, she too loves art. The little one Miss Arianna is smart and very talkative... she never stops talking but very good at holding conversations even with adults. I loved these photos of them because they both made the same facial expressions and I decided to dedicate this post to them. I love you girls!

Guardian Angel
Samuel Billegas
January 30, 1961 - May 3, 2012
The picture above is one I cherish the most, its my uncle and I on the day of my high school graduation. My uncle now deceased, was stricken with cancer and he died at the age of 51. Although, he was my uncle, he was more of a dad to me. He was and still is very special to me. Not a day goes by I don't think of him so I thought I dedicate a post to him. I love you and one day I'll see you again MY GUARDIAN ANGEL!
Come to me
God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be.
So He closed his arms around you
and whispered, "Come to me.
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a wonderful treasure to always hold in your heart forever & always.
MOM
Pictured above is my mom, who I appreciate and love very much.
Mom, for all the times I didn’t thank you either because I was too young to too busy or just didn’t find the words, today I thank you for all you’ve done for me. Now that I’m older, I realize more and more everything you did, everything you gave, and most important, everything you stand for and I love you and thank you with all of my grateful heart.

A human body can bear only up to 45 Del (unit of pain). But at the time of giving birth, a woman feels up to 57 Del of pain. This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at a time!!!!

Sad or Smart dog?
So I have a chihuahua named Tiny and he was laying with me on my bed. After a while, he wanted to lay in the most weirdest places- between my legs, on top of my head and hair. After a while I became hot and irritated so I told him to go to his bed. When I decided to go check on him, this is how he looked.
I know this photo is a little dark because it was night time but I found this so hilarious I had to share it. So when I seen him with his face toward the wall because I told him to go to his bed. After taking this photo I felt so bad that I put him back on the bed with me so what do you think was he sad or just smart enough to know this would make me feel bad. Unless in the future they have some technology so that humans and dogs can communicate, I'll never know.

TATTOO IDEAS?!?
A tattoo is a colored mark or figure that is permanently etched into the skin. There are records of
people getting tattoos since before recorded history—the oldest record of a tattoo dates back about 5,300 years ago from a mummified man who had multiple tattoos over his body.
GORiLLAS
Each year nearly one million people come to The Toledo Zoo to experience the wonders of the natural world, stroll our beautiful grounds and explore our historic WPA-era buildings. As you do, you’ll encounter animals ranging from mammoth African elephants and majestic bald eagles to tiny toads and and even insects and spiders.
