01000001, 01010010, 01010100 (ART) (Log: Class 6, October 27)

Dear Readers,

 (By the way, the title refers to binary for ART.)

Yesterday we were in the computer lab,  because of the book sale. Naturally, we spent the time doing art related projects online. For those of you who want to check out some cool links, go to: http://www.jayrz.com/artstars/

News Beginning (Log: Class 4, October 15)

Dear Readers,

Which is the only of the original thirteen colonies to not touch water?

Today we began our main project. It was announced that, yes, we would be making a movie. However, unlike last time, we would be doing this alongside other things.

The movie will be a parody of the 9nightly news.

What we did today was to begin our knowledge of news parodies. We chose somethings. We might use some of the footage, we might not. Maybe we’ll just use some of the Jokes.

We split up into three teams. Each team would scan a newspaper (One team got the Providence Journal, another got USA Today, and another got the New York Times.) The team witht the New York times did a story about the people who were payed if they did well on the SATS. The team with the Projo did a story about how Jeniffer Lopez got poisoned by a spring roll, and then had blue marks all over her face. She then sued Flannery, the person who sold her the marks. My team did USA today, and we did a story on George Bush’s economic plan (spending 2 trillion on the better operation of concession stands, and then giving each merican a penny.)

It was really fun, but, although I hate to admit it, they were not perfect. However, for a first try they were ridiculously good. I think that we should definately use some of the jokes.

Happy First Day of Art Starz!!! (Log: Class 1; Sept. 29)

Dear Readers,  

Happy first day of Art Starz, everyone. To all you Art Starzians this will be more of a review. However, I would first like to show you my new system of logging.

The title itself will consist of two parts; the clever bit which contains a creative title, and the date.

The body begins with a Greeting. Then I give a Trivia Question. I then skip a line, and write how the class was on a scale of 1 to 10.

Then will come the Main entry. I write the events of the day, the succeses and failures of the day, and many anecdotes that I observed.

I will then skip a line and put the image of the class.

Next comes the quote of the class.

Then I put the link of the day.

Then I put the word of the day.

Because doctors have recomended groaning, I will put a really bad pun. When I say bad I mean really bad. It won’t be that bad.

I will then put the answer to the trivia question and be on my way. If I dared forget one of these things, or, God forbid, forget the entry in general, I will make it up the next time. Hopefully this will not happen.

If anyone else would like to post in this format as well, that would be good.

Here is today’s entry:

Dear Reader,

(What is the only animal that can turn itself inside out?)

6.5/10

Today was the first day of Art Starz. It was pretty good. We were discussing alot of ideas about what this Art Stars Session would be about. Some ideas that were tossed out there: Sculpture, SEt Design, Penguin-Related Material, A parody of the nightly news, making Halloween Decorations, Figure Drawing, Forming a Post-Punk Music band, Updating the blog (WOO!) Making a new movie, updating “Watching TV”, etc…

It sounds pretty good.

I hope this seesion will be good. I think it will be.

(www.eonline.com) I thought I would start the images off right, and how can you go wrong with the office?)

A.R.T. Announces…

This is an ART announcement:

 Aaron Kaplan is the new Prince of Fort Rochambeau Land. He has appointed himself as Duke of Post Control. He plans to do absolutely nothing with this position.

 Thank you,

 Prince of Fort Rochambeau Land, Duke of Post Control,

Aaron Kaplan

(P.S. This is totally fake)

A.R.T.

This post never happened. I never told you the following:

I am agent 007.11111111562585469877785896589665886589586663031123456789987655432115151915815475584562584886498712364555000. I am a secret agent for the A.R.T. The A.R.T. Stands for Joseph’s Real Triumph. My name is Aaron. I am the founder of the A.R.T. There is a total of three agents. Their names are as follows: Aaron, Sam and Joseph.

I work to destroy silly posts. Soon I will use a new destruction technique, but that technique is on a need to know basis.

We use D.I.S. or Destruction of Irritating Silliness as our motto. On our great seal the Latin phrase, “Oohs Disuse” appears in golden letters.

We soon will launch an attack on many posts.

Moo ha ha and Goodbye,

Agent 7(etc…)
