BMW M3 prototypes in our exclusive spy video have ditched their heavy camouflage in favor of a few well-placed pieces of tape.
Up front, you can now clearly see the more aggressive airdam and power dome hood. We’re pretty sure the M3′s trademark quarter-panel vents are hiding under the taped-on covers, too. Bulging fender flares are another M3 specialty, along with the set of quad pipes out back.5842 miles - car

Simplifying Your Subject Sketching
A couple weeks ago, after reading just a few pages from the book Sketching by Alwyn Crawshaw, I found great improvements in my pencil techniques and types of lines. This time I decided to read a different section called "Simplifying Your Subject." I thought this passage would be interesting because I realized that often I get hung up on the little details when I sketch, erasing my lines over and over again. As I learned from Elviras blog post, sketching is like making a draft of what you want to draw; a sketch doesnt need to have so many details.
Some main points I learned from this section are:
Crawshaw tells the reader that "Three-minute exercises are fun to do and very important for teaching you to simplify" (48). He also suggests, "Birds are a wonderful subject for a three-minute sketch. Start by copying my sketches..." (48).
My first three-minute exercise turned out pretty well, as I copied Crawshaws sketches of birds. I was unable to get proper sketching pencils before this post, so I stuck to my normal #2 pencil.
The next step was to try sketching from a photograph of a bird instead of copying the sketches in the book. I tried to squint at the photograph, and it really helped me see only the dark and light values in the photo. I did, however, get carried away; I finished my sketch after a little more than three minutes.
The final result was not amazing, but as Alwyn Crawshaw writes, "There is no secret formula...except of course, practice, which gives experience" (46). Ill keep practicing three-minute exercises so that I can get better at simplifying my subject.
I found three-minute sketches to be very enjoyable, and I definitely simplified my sketches a lot more than before. By only sketching for three minutes, I didnt worry so much about the detail but focused on the main form and shape of the subject. I am pretty impressed with this method. You definitely can learn a lot in three minutes!
Have you ever tried doing a three-minute sketch? In general, what are your favorite things to sketch or draw?

Some main points I learned from this section are:
- "Simplifying is something you learn to do as you look at the subject...an artist sees only what is important to his or her sketch" (41).
- A good way to practice simplifying is by doing three-minute exercises. They are a bit challenging, but will really help you only draw the essentials (41).
- Squinting your eyes when you look at your subject (the object you are drawing) will help you see only the darkest and lightest areas, eliminating the areas with a lot of detail (41).

Piano Techniques Pedaling CANON IN D
For the last topic in the book Improve Your Piano Playing, Dr. John Meffen concludes his talk about piano techniques. The last technique he discusses is pedaling.
The pedals are located at the bottom on the piano and are controlled by your feet to enhance the sound of your playing. Pianos usually have two pedals, each with a different function. (Meffen 108). The one farthest to the left is called the soft pedal, and the one farthest to the right is called the damper pedal.
The soft pedals function is exactly what it sounds like, it makes all the notes sound softer. It does this by moving all the hammers that strike the strings slightly to the right so the hammers that usually hit three strings only hit two and the hammers that usually hit two strings only hit one (Meffen 109). By hitting less strings, less sound is produced therefore creating a softer sound. Here is a video of me holding the soft pedal down to make the first section of Canon in D lot quieter.
The damper pedal on the far right is used more commonly than the soft pedal. Its function is to "raise all the dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely" (Meffen 109). Dampers are the things that touch the strings to stop the sound, so when you hold the pedal down, these dampers do not touch the strings and the sound is sustained. This is a very important pedal because it allows notes to connect to each other. Without it, piano would sound very choppy and abrupt all the time. Here is a video of me using the damper pedal for the rest of Canon in D to connect the notes and make them sound smooth. Sorry its in two videos. Blogger couldnt upload one big video because it was too long. And sorry that they are upside down too.

Follow up
Hey.... Its been a while since Ive done one of these. I havent done much since my last post, but Ive been busy with a lot of stuff. So, Ill make a quick follow up post. Ive had quite a lot of fun with my little book and robot, but this is only the beginning. As I look forward in life, Im looking at colleges/universities that have computer science, robotics, and/or mechanics for cars and stuff. Ive gotten emails from a lot of colleges ever since PSAT scores went out and Ive been looking at some of their degree choices. Blah blah blah, real life stuff. But its important to look towards the future. Not all of us will get straight As or get into UW; look towards the future and be grateful for the things in life. Always look for the good in the bad. Even in times when Ive given up hope (aka, the first half of the NFC championship game) I always looked forward, saying, "Whoever wins the AFC championship game will kick the crap out of the Packers."
No pictures except for this random one. Im studying for finals.
Anyway, onto robotics. Look, without a doubt, if you want to start off in robotics, get yourself one of these kits. Theyre pretty expensive, but they have a lot inside from pieces to actual hardware. Get the book, too. The book "Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 For Teens" by Jerry Lee Ford Jr. is also a nice pick up while you try and find builds to do. Itll teach you everything from the basic pieces to building a freaking car! (Super paraphrased quote, Ford) But seriously, if youre at all interested in robotics, get yourself one of these kits and get robotificating!
What are your thoughts on robotics? If youve ever been to the Kent Tech Expo, what kind of robot would you want to see?
