Are you ever so bored that you are just ready to die just for something to do? Well I sure am, so let me introduce you to this amazing thing called Voki. Voki is an awesome website where you can create any kind of avatar, and you can make one for a powerpoint to make a business appointment interesting.

In order to get onto Voki type into your search engine www.Voki.com. Then scroll down a little and you should see a “It’s Free” tab and click it. You should now be on the customization menu, here you may customize your avatar however you want.

When you are finished with your avatar make sure to add a voice, depending on where you are in the menu, if there is an “X” in the corner click it. You should then be taken to another menu, from that menu click on the “Publish” button in the bottom right corner. You will now be given the option to save your avatar, do so.

Now, you should be given two other options; “Sign Me Up!” Or “Login” you may sign in or make an account, if you make an account you can keep and make more avatars. I normally just click the “x” in the top right corner, I then click the button with the chain, which is a copy link option. I used this to put the link to my webpage.

Well, congratulations, you’ve made your first Voki! I hope you had fun, and be sure to check back every now and then for any new finished assignments. Remember to have fun and enjoy exploring Mrs. Wilson’s art classes work! -Gage

My self-portrait made of words that describe me, I made it when my teacher took a photo of the class and she passed the camera around the room and we all began to copy the photo of us into a folder. We then went on www.tagxedo.com and customized the picture to say thirty words about us. We got these words from a personality test, if you’d like to take the test yourself here is the link, https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test, and we all looked through it and read it and found a total of thirty words!

The reason I felt that many of the words that were given to me to describe myself is because I see myself as energetic, I have been told that I am prone to overthink many things, and yes I do sometimes procrastinate. I have been told that I can be annoyed, I know that I am definitely easily stressed, I can be childish in an aspect I enjoy children’s movies, shows, lots of children related things. I am most definitely humorous, my friends often give me the evil eye when I make a pun, puns are my favorite type of humor and one of my strong points are my puns.

I think my tagxedo photo definitely explains me the words all of them identify me. This photo is no traditional photo it’s my tagxedo. This photo defines me. -Gage

The color wheel can help you mix colors to make another color, a color wheel can also be used to shade certain things depending on how you use it. The color wheel can also let you know which colors will work best with your painting/art. The man to invent the color wheel was (believe it or not!) Sir Isaac Newton himself!

Vincent Van Gogh used the color wheel in most of his art I’m sure he used the color wheel in “Starry Night” and I’m sure in even more work of his! He probably looked between the color wheel and tested colors to see what would blend well, and what would blend well and what wouldn’t. That is probably what made such a great artist, mixing colors that normally wouldn’t mix and messed with it until he made it work.

Graffiti is an amazing type of art, that can be strange, creative, and inventive. People create graffiti to express feeling, to help release anger, sadness, or just for the plain fun of it! People can put whatever they want when they are doing graffiti, they can be creative to their hearts content.

To create a graffiti brick wall, you have to find a picture of a brick wall, then download gimp and put the brick wall as the main picture and then create your name in the graffiti website, here is the link: http://postergen.com/graffiti-creator and once after your done with it right click it. A menu should appear, click “save as” and once it is saved, go on gimp and photo shop it on there. J

The words I chose to describe me are some of the words from a personality test it was the same test as in my last post. The words describe me and they are true, I am a very, bright, happy, energetic, and bubbly, fun, person. In the personality test I took words that they used to describe me.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo was an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of objects such as fruit, vegetables, flowers, fish, and books, etc. Guiseppe, I think he decided to make art out of food, books, etc. because he wanted to make different kind of art, I think he wanted to stand out from other artists. I think Giuseppe wanted to stand out from many other artitsts, he wanted to catch the attention of others.

I honestly, was starting with my favorite foods, but I ran out of ideas and food, so I ended up doing whatever came to mind, whatever food came to mind. Again I was just honestly running out of ideas, and so I just ended up getting ideas from my friends, I’m working on honesty. So that is all for today! Thank You for visiting my page!

I am a boy named Billy, I enjoyed playing with my friends out in the woods. One day I found on the news, multiple psychopaths had escaped from the local asylum. Sure, it was strange to have a local asylum, but it was miles away there was no way the prisoners could get all the way here without getting caught by the police. I went to school that morning, walking down the sidewalk, on the way to school I had thought I’d noticed someone, someone rather unusual, just…standing there on the school yard. I heard Sarah call me, “Billy! Hey!” My attention was drawn to her for a second, I turned back to the man, only to find the man had gone! “Hey, Billy, what’re you looking at?” “N-Nothing…” I responded not sure to tell her. Sarah was a thin sort of tall girl, a little taller than me, she was kind of like my only friend. I walked up to the school with her, there was some awkward silence I decided to break the silence,

“Did you see the news this morning?”

“No, I don’t watch the news.”

“Oh.”

We went into the school into the main hallway, me and Sarah went our separate ways, heading to our classes. As each class passed on I thought more and more about the strange man, at P.E. I was watching the rock that I trip over every time I come at it, I haven’t tripped over it in almost a month. I sped up as I get closer to the rock when suddenly I saw someone at the corner of my eye and I jerk my head around to look and see him...It’s the man! From earlier! I suddenly felt my foot jerk back and I couldn’t pull it in front of my other foot! I fell, I tripped over the rock and fell onto my stomach skidding a bit on the pebble made track.

“Owww.” I groan out, in pain and get up with some blood seeping from my hands, and my knee scratched up good. It then hit me like the ground had just done. I whipped around looking for the man, confused, and a little freaked out. I finally accepted the fact he was gone, and I continued on with my day. I sat in class scrunching up my face every time my pencil touched the deep scratch on my hand, the final bell rang as I stuffed my books, and paper, into my book bag, slung it over my shoulder and, walked out the front double doors.

I sat on the bench, waiting for Sarah so I could walk back home with her. Sarah didn’t come out, so after a while I walked back home, Sarah does that sometimes, she probably got in trouble and is being scolded. I walked up to my house and opened the front door, and threw my book bag and items into the corner, their usual place. I sat and watched the television for an hour or so, when I heard a knock at the door. I sat still just hoping whoever it was would go away. They didn’t, I finally just got up and went to the door and opened it, “What?” I ask somewhat rudely.

I looked around confused, and closed the door. After another hour or so there was another knock I ran to the door quickly this time and jerked it open. “Leave me alone!” I yelled angrily out into the dark night. I stood there for a minute and as I was about to close the door I noticed something at the doorstep. I picked it up and read it, it was a note, it read “We’re coming...”

I dropped it hyperventilating, jumping back, and horrified I slammed my door shut, I looked around and began running to the each and every window and door locking them. I ran to the kitchen and quickly grabbed a kitchen knife. I ran around the house turning off all the lights and I ran upstairs and hid in my closet. I then realized…I’d locked every door, but the front door. I guess I freaked out about the head, and forgot about it. I burst out of my closet and ran down to the door and slammed it shut and locked it.

“Okay…calm down the lights are off and the windows and doors are locked. Wait, didn’t I close the front door…” I realized that the door was open when I came down here after I closed it. I ran upstairs and hid in my closet again, breathing heavily. The closet was hot, and musty, I sat there, kitchen knife in hand, and I heard it. A heavy creaking sound of the stairs, it wasn’t mom, or dad, they weren’t as heavy sounding on the stairs. I heard the sound of footsteps move to my room, the footsteps moved around in my room. I then heard talking, “Do, you think it was only the girl staying here tonight?” “Maybe, you know we’re supposed to fully check the premises.”

“Yeah, yeah.” It was a male and female, they had broken into my house. “So where do you think they keep the money?” “Let’s split up, you’ll check, up here and I’ll check downstairs.” The male responded. I took my knife in hand as I heard the footsteps leave the room, heavy ones went down the stairs and the lighter ones had moved to a separate room. I carefully opened the closet and left the room trying to keep quiet and began to walk to the room I heard her footsteps, I entered the room, and jumped her and covered her mouth to muffle her screams as she shook me off her I fell to the ground on my back.

I looked at her as she ran at me and started to crawl away, I felt her grab my ankle and she jerked me back but I fought. I kicked her in the face with my free foot, and got up, and began to run away. I heard her running at me as I dropped on my side and tripped her over me, causing her to tumble down the stairs. I began to crawl down the stairs then I heard her cry out, “Kit!” I gasped as the well-built and tall male appeared from the basement. I began to get up and hop over to the sliding glass door out to the back yard, but it wouldn’t open! I began to jerk and pull at the door, and realized it was still locked. I fumbled with the lock as Kit stood up from crouching over the female, he glared at me.

I unlocked the door and jerked it open and closed it behind me and began hopping over to the woods behind my house and I hopped into the dark and muggy forest. I heard him yell, “I just want to help!” I continued to hop away and I got tired and sat behind a tree and looked at my stabbed ankle. After a while I heard footsteps and began to hop away again. I looked behind me still traumatized and I turned back around and looked ahead of me and saw Kit with a knife in my face.

The End

(Scene 5)

(Hotaru, Myata, Ayaka, and Satomi make their way through the forest towards the castle. A group of magical beings trail behind them. Everyone is tense ready for the fight that is about to happen.)

Ayaka: I can see a couple guards ahead, but they don’t look as strong as the ones I grew up with.

Satomi: I'm pretty sure we could take them down easily.

Hotaru: No. We can’t risk one of them catching us and alerting everyone else.

Myata: Let’s try to sneak in.

Ayaka: OK fine, But these guards were trained by the best, my father.Even though he turned out to be a horrible person.

Myata: Hotaru and I will go to the right and you two go to the left.(Points at Satomi and Ayaka)

Hotaru: Ok let’s go! (Group sneaks into the castle successfully. They duck through hidden hallways and secret passages and stop near the throne room.)

Myata:Ok let’s get into the throne room. (To the other magical beings) But you stay here until we give the signal alright?

(The group agrees and the girls sneak into the throne room. They hide on the edge of the room in the shadows. A figure stands near the 4 thrones.)

Myata:(whispers to Ayaka) You said the throne room is empty at this time.

Ayaka:It’s supposed to be. It looks like-like...

Satomi:Is that……?

Ayaka: SATOSHI!!! You’re alive.

(Satomi and Ayaka run towards a boy who looks the same age as all of them. Myata and Hotaru hang back still in the shadows.)

Hotaru:(to Myata) Who?

Myata: *Shrugs* I have no clue.

Satomi:(tackles the boy) BROTHER! You’re alive.

Satoshi:AAAHHHHHHH! Uggghhh owie, that hurt.

Ayaka: WE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!

Satoshi:Do I look dead to you? Satomi:Well we just assumed you were dead after we lost you in our escape attempt.

(Myata and Hotaru walk out of the shadows stopping near Ayaka. Satomi stands up and helps up Satoshi.)

Myata: You want to tell us who this is?

Hotaru: Why did you call him brother?

Satomi: Oh yeah. Ummm. Myata, Hotaru this is my twin brother Satoshi.

Myata: You have a brother and you never told us.

Hotaru: You have a twin?

Ayaka: Yeah we never mentioned it because (Glances at Satomi then Satoshi) well we thought he had died. I didn’t want to bring up something that would make Satomi sad.

Narrator: Ok just interrupting real fast let me explain. When Ayaka was kicked out Satomi and Satoshi followed her and they were going to make a new life together. The guards were alerted when they were trying to escape. While they were trying to escape Satoshi was caught by the guards because he tripped. When he fell he told them to run away without him and Ayaka and Satomi presumed he was dead.

Satoshi: Ok before you continue this (gestures between the 4). I need to ask What the heck are you doing here? I thought you were dead. Or the guards caught you and locked you up in the dungeons. Also what the heck you know how bad it was here. This is the first time I’ve come out of my room since they dragged me back here.

Satomi: We (gestures between the four proudly) are coming to take over the monarchy.

Satoshi: (flustered) You- What- Monarchy?

Myata: Yeah but if we don’t go now we won’t be able to use the element of surprise.

Satomi: But that's okay because we have made a plan.

Satoshi: Please elaborate

Satomi: We use your powers to take mom and dad out.

Myata,and Hotaru: You have powers?

Satoshi: I only use them when people really need it because my powers can seriously injure someone.

Ayaka: But it's really cool.

Satoshi: Yeah but I said no.

Ayaka: Do you really want to fight me right now I am trying to help you.

Satomi:Let's just escape so we can finalize our plan against the king and queen. (The king appears in the throne room with the Queen just behind him)

King: I don’t think you’ll make it that far into your plans Satomi.

Queen: Stop this now Satomi and we will only ground you for two years, and that goes for you too Satoshi.

Satomi and Satoshi: That's not fair!!!!

King: Well of course because you are our children we won’t harm you like we will the others.

Satomi: I double-dog dare you to touch my friends, old man.

King: It’s nice to see you too dear it’s only been 8 years. Congratulations on evading me for these past years.

Ayaka:(whispers to Satomi) This is not getting anywhere let’s just take Satoshi and run.

King: Did you really think it would be that easy to get past my guards.

Queen: Get them before they escape. Again (Guards rush into the the throne room. One group of guards has all 5 of their fighters. The 4 are surrounded and no one notices that Satoshi is missing)

Satomi: We’re surrounded

Myata: What is this?

Satoshi:*gasp* Not again. (Satoshi is pulled by a guard to the Queen who holds a gun to his head)

Queen:I WILL SHOOT!

Myata: Not today (Myata kicks random guard in the face and sends him flying backwards) (Ayaka sees the opportunity and takes it, she makes the Queen's hair catch on fire and the the group watches as the gun falls to the floor.)

Hotaru: I got this!(Hotaru puts the Queen’s hair out)

Ayaka: Satoshi run!(Satoshi pushes his way through the guards making towards the girls)

Satomi: I’ve got it! {Satomi jumps up and shatters the ground beneath her with one punch distracting all of the guards and making the Queen and King nauseous)

Satomi: I think that’s good enough.

Ayaka: Nicely done but I think me setting the Queen's hair on fire was pretty funny.

Hotaru: Geez you guys do like to cause damage don’t you?

Satomi and Ayaka: It’s fun.

Hotaru: But you could kill someone!

Satoshi:We need to end this. (As the Queen was recovering from her hair being set on fire Satoshi threw a big boulder at her crushing her. The king slowly starts to back away)

Ayaka: The King is getting away,I'll get him.

Satomi: Wait we have to help our friends. (Satomi turns to see her other friend being taken out by guards.)

Myata: No. You won’t escape us old man. (She tries to use her powers but another guard tackles her. Ayaka engulfs the two guards into flames.)

Hotaru: Don’t worry Myata I’ll get him. (Tries to grab king with water powers but ends up drowning him)

Hotaru:.......Oops

Satomi: Who’s causing damage now?

Hotaru. Hotaru:Shut Up! It was an accident OK!Satoshi bumped my arm!(Hotaru looks at Satomi innocently)

Satoshi: Well….we just took care of the king and queen.

Myata: Aren’t you like sad? Your parents just died!

Satomi & Satoshi: Nah. (Satomi opens a crevice in the earth with her foot. Most of the guards who are still conscious fall into the pit. Satomi walk to the spot where her the Queen’s crown is. She takes the crown and snaps it in half.)

Satomi:Do you think were done with this now?

(Satoshi follows his sister and grabs the king's crown. He then proceeds to snap it as well)

Satoshi: I think it's finally over.

EPILOUGE

Two years later

Myata: How do you wear these dresses Satomi?

Satomi: With grace something you don't have.

Ayaka: This is why I decided to wear jeans not stupid girly dresses.

Hotaru: Yeah not all of us grew up as snobby as you and your brother, Satomi.(She says as she is wearing jeans)

Satoshi: Hey! I can hear you in there!

Satomi:I only know fashion. (Satoshi is impatiently waiting outside as he waits for the girls to get ready)

Satoshi:Wow you girls really do take a long time to get ready.

Ayaka: I’m ready it’s your sister who isn’t. (Satoshi was dressed by his servants. Ayaka opens the door suddenly and closes behind her. She too is dressed in jeans.)

Satoshi: It always does take you a long time to get ready Satomi. (Hotaru exits the room followed next by Myata.)

Hotaru: Seriously why can’t you just wear casual clothes?

Myata: Yeah I think I might want to go get some jeans instead. (Satomi comes out next a scowl on her face,)

Satomi:Because I have class!

Myata:(rolls eyes) Whatever Satomi, now come on we are going to be late!. ,

(All five dramatically head into the throne room full of people to be coronated) (IDK WHO CORONATES PEOPLE SO...)

Person Who coronates them: Please welcome the new Rulers of Isombard!

(All five kneel to be crowned, each one receives a crown and stands and faces the crowd.)

Ayaka:(Too her friends) Well guys, I don’t think life could get much better than this.

Myata, Hotaru, Satomi, and Satoshi:Agreed!

Narrators:And that is where our story ends. (Proudly) I basically called it remember I just knew they would save all of us magical beings. That’s right I to have powers I’m a... Anyways back to our new Queens and King. All five ruled the kingdom together and helped save all the magical beings throughout the kingdom. The 5 personally trained all of the magical being in the land. Even Koneko helped she’s in fact one of the best trainers but that is a different story. The five rulers restored the harmony throughout the land and lived in peace for their remaining years. The End

First you will need 2-4 players.

The first person to play is determined when everyone takes turns rolling the dice , and whoever gets the lowest number goes first. Then you will play counter clock wise from the first player.

Then the players will choose their game pieces, and set them on the starting space. The first player will roll the dice and the amount they roll will be the number of spaces they go forward.

The player might land on a space called a card space. So, if you land on a card space you will choose from the stack of cards. The cards will tell you how many spaces you will go back, or forward.

The objective of the game is to get to the Jumbo space and hit the center and say “Jumbo” before the other players do. The other players can hit the center to stop the player at the jumbo space from winning.

If the other player hits the center before you and says jumbo you must go back to the beginning, but if the other players messes up you win.If all the players mess up the game restarts .
