What's Happening in ACSS

Aaron Nelson-Moody

Aaron Nelson-Moody
Aka "Splash" Visited ACSS high-school to demonstrate art and crafting to some students in our carpentry class. Aaron was also asked to demonstrate his skill and talk a little about himself and aboriginal history. He started his interest as a young boy when his grandfather and other family would carve, and teach him too carve. he has spent 12 years at schools all across Canada and some parts of Scotland and japan teaching others and telling his stories and the stories of his ancestors.


the tools

Aaron told us a little about the tools he used, he said he used three basic tools. 
The straight blade, the Hook blade, and Bent blade 



If he were to carve for example a totem pole, he would use the same tools just bigger.
Depending on where you live depends on the tools you use and how you use them. Aaron said he went to New York to learn their style of cutting and the man their learn from Aaron

Composition In Digital Photography Part A

Composition Photography is like showing a picture in your own way and not just some regular way but a creative way. In photography you must have creativity in your photo's and not just a regular picture of fish or something but something "out of this world." (Hehehe out of this world)

Rule of Thirds: the rule of thirds is "the rule of thumb" or guidelines which apply to showing visual images such as designs, films, painting, and photographs.

Points of Power: The points that guide you while taking a photo ( this is a guess because i couldn't find info about it)                  
The Golden Rule:

Vertical and Horizontal Lines: To draw the eyes up or down to draw the attention to the photo.

Oblique Lines: Makes the photo's more dynamic, and is a diagonal line.

Curved Lines: This shows the beauty and charm of the photo, and draws attention to the photo.

Terry Fox Run

Terry and Isadore
The Terry Fox run is held in many regions around the world in commemoration of Canadian cancer activist Terry Fox, and the Marathon of Hope, and to raise money for cancer research. The Terry Fox run was founded by Isadore Sharp, Isadore Sharp had lost a son to cancer in 1979 and Isadore contacted Terry and asked if he could host a run dedicating to the marathon of Hope, the Terry Fox Run was held every year, the first was in 1981. The Terry Fox Foundation has raised over $600 Million dollars, The Terry Fox Foundation was founded in 1988 after it split from the Canadian Cancer Society. Participating is the most important in this run, during terry's cross-Canada run he turned down every support for he felt that it would reduce the value of his goal of creating public awareness. When the event happens people can go as creative as they want to raise money for Terry's Cancer Research such as shave their heads, dye hair, leg wax, and ask friends or families to shave their heads.

Terry Fox Foundation

Terry Fox
 Terry Fox had cancer through out his knee and ended up with a artificial leg, Terry Fox was an athlete,humanitarian, and a cancer research activist. With one leg cut off in 1980, he went across Canada to raise money and awareness for cancer research. But after 143 days and 5, 373 kilometers, Terry's Cancer had spread through his lungs, and he had to be driven to the hospital and his marathon ended at Thunder Bay. He raised up to $600 Million dollars to cancer research. He was the youngest ever named a Companion of Order of Canada. Terry wanted to raise 1 million, then 10 million, and then $1 for every Canadian. When Terry Fox was younger he was into basketball but wasn't that good at it, and his coach recommended marathon running but he wasn't into it but to please his coach he did, but he was determined to play basketball even if he's just a substitute. Later on he got into a car accident and that's when he felt a pain in his knee but ignored it, and i think he just shook it off, and later on it got worse and worse, and then he got cancer in his knee and his leg had to be amputated. With the help of his artificial leg he began walking, and playing golf with his dad, doctors were impressed by Terry's progress, and it was a positive outlook, Terry had endured 16 months of chemotherapy and found that when he was spending time in Britain it was hard to watch his fellow cancer patients, after Fox's treatment ended he wanted to find the courage in everyone.
