Final iImage

My final draft of an image that was to represent an educational topic in a compelling way... I chose literacy.

Meme

Meme: element of cultural ideas, symbols or practices, that are transmitted from one mind to another



Quickfire Challenge: 20 minutes to use a random title, 4 words from a random quote, and a random photo to create an album cover for 'my band'. Using Wikipedia, QuotationsPage, and Flickr, I used to assembled it all at Photoshop.com. The final project is a little dark, but alas, I was a bit limited. It was a great challenge and was fun to see what everyone created.

Riverford Organic Farms

The MAET program took a field trip to an organic farm, just 30 minutes from Plymouth. We toured the farm, did a little taste-testing, and learned about their functioning philosophy as an organic farm. They have even started making the lunches for the local grade school. It is becoming popular in the UK to order 'boxes' from these organic farms. Each week you get a new box of fresh veggies and fruits delivered from the farm.
The trip culminated with a delicious lunch from all organic foods - great salads, grilled veggies, and I hear the salmon was great. My favorite was the dessert - shocking!
