Timeline Assignment-Period 6

Response: For my timeline assignment, I worked with Mark and Jeffrey, they were good partners because they always were working hard. For our timeline, we decided to revolve the theme of our work around the history of cameras, we had to go on the internet to find various information on the cameras that were established, from the pinhole cameras to digital cameras and doing so we were amazed by the rapid evolution of the cameras, it was astonishing. For our information, we had to use rice paper because it was good enough to be rolled up and moved, afterward we were able to use transparent ink to distribute our information onto the rice paper. That process was amazing as the transparent ink worked effectively and looked like it was printing onto the paper. The difficult task that my group and I encountered was making the pinhole camera. First, we had to make a blueprint of the camera which wasn't that hard. Afterward, we made a smaller version of what our camera would look like. And after that was done, the difficulty began. We used black cardboard to make the interior and exterior of the camera and it was stressful as we had to accurately measure all of the sides to make it look like a legitimate camera. We then used tape to attach the parts together, afterward we used made holes on the top and bottom of the camera to put in pencils that would roll the rice paper so you would be able to see the information. After that process was done, we got foil and poked a small hole in front of the camera with a pencil and placed the foil inside so it would look like a pinhole camera. Even though it wasn't as accurate as we planned, the assignment overall was interesting and gave me new skills to work as a group. Hopefully in the future, I'll get to do another assignment like this.
