What Are Layers In Digital Art For?

Imagine drawing on top of several transparent sheets of paper, having the ability to merge all of them in a single click, amidst other options.

Layers give you these abilities and the choice to draw over or under them. It is a very convenient function and plays a role in the process of creating art itself. They have multiple settings and features within each one like blending modes that can enhance your final project and can be locked, clipped and merged.

This is a basic feature in any modern photo manipulation and or art software/program and is a very helpful tool in achieving specific results.

What Do I Value The Most?

I struggle through many things. Most of them stem from very personal events and some of them are from basic solvable problems. I experience knee-scraping injuries and I experience traumatic scars. It is very hard for me to pick myself up when I find myself on the hard concrete. 

I value the people who understand and treat me like a normal person. People who overlook my background and my disabilities. People who are sensitive enough to avoid my triggers and are honest with their intentions towards me and other people. I value them the most.

R&W Reflection

Thoughts On The “No Homework” Policy

The “No Homework” policy states that educators cannot hand out homework to students on weekends so that the students can have time for themselves on those specific days. 

The problem with this policy is the situation of the lack of supplemental materials in the educational process. To combat this, the policy should state that teachers can still give homework but only do so sparingly so that the students can have the required learnings but still have time for themselves. The causes of this solution would be the same school routine but will have less restrictions caused by the take-home materials. As an effect, both the teacher and the student will come to a fair compromise.

Have People Become Overly Dependent On Technology?

In this modern-day and age, humanity, especially the youth are addicted to technology and gets significantly worse as time progresses. This results in many problems that seriously impact our daily living. Even though technology is made to better our everyday living, it can and will pull us down if we become too dependent on it. Some issues that can come from this are physical ailments such as eyesight problems and obesity.

Social media plays a huge role and relays a massive impact in the world of business and common day to day living. These businesses thrive off social media to promote and or completely run their line of work. Just like so, the impact on the consumers has a similar effect. These businesses can range from food dealers to a means of transportation, reaching a very diverse audience that use technology to be able to have any sort of interaction. The consumers are the fuel to their success and this context enforces the constant use of technology, the dependency is shown as a prevalent situation.

Hazy Shade Of Fondness

Being a child is the most precious part of any human being’s life. This is the stage wherein habits, values, culture, and memories are developed.

My best childhood memory is sitting in one specific corner of my grandmother’s shop with a stack of papers, a pencil, and a watercolor set. She would often take me there and leave me in my favorite corner as she worked. Often times she would ask me to cut the printed labels and it would make me feel happy to be able to help. It may not sound much to others but I loved the feeling of solitude, being left alone with my thoughts, creating characters and worlds for them to live in.
