French Revolution Journal

Froge, a boy that endured the French Revolution, was the main character in this journal. He was 15 years old during the Storming of the Bastille. He was a radical Jacobin and slowly became a steady man who opposed the revolution. He met a friend named Dave during the Storming of the Bastille and stayed safe together during the entire revolution.

 

Was the French Revolution worth it? In my opinion, the French Revolution was worth it. First, things had drastically changed in France during these 10 years. From the Tennis Court Oath, new ideas of Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality inspired from the American revolution flooded France. The three key ideas changed our modern world a lot, also providing us the precious Declaration of Rights of Man. In many modern laws and constitutions, the legacy of Declaration of Rights of Man still guide the authors. The most horrifying cost of the revolution was the hundreds of thousands of deaths in the Reign of Terror and Great Fear.

Andrew Luo’s Light Box Reflection

 

 

Andrew Luo’s light box:

 

General information:

  • 4 layers
  • bright type LED
  • 95 x 55 cm inside
  • Great wall themed

Why I made this:

This great wall idea actually isn’t my first idea, I initially wanted to make the light box of the moon, but that’s too impossible. My theme of the great wall is neutral, not that sad, not that happy. It’s a nice combination of green grass, blue sky, white clouds, and gray wall.

Overall, I think  my light box is pretty good because I made what I wanted and I successfully followed my plans to make and paint my light box. Thought, my worst part is painting. Same as my prediction, painting is very hard. I tried hard on painting not that thick, and I also tried hard on not painting on the other colors. But my light box is good because my best part is the laser cutting. I made my light box on an app called adobe illustrator. I’m also a fast worker. I’m always one of the first to complete a task.

I learned a lot form this light box project. Number one, obviously, I learned to use adobe illustrator. Another thing I learned is how to use painting tape. If do this again, I’ll use the tape differently and make the painting better.  My advice from my best friend is to put the LED wire down and become covered by the layers.  My project can make people that have special memories of the great wall or me feel good.
