Andrew's CAS

In the months leading up to MMUN conference, I help students learn about the United Nations and the program as well as prepare the needed materials. I do this with one of my friends and we both aid the teacher coordinators. While I enjoy being able to share my own personal knowledge with those who have yet to experience the program or would like some help, I have found this mentoring to be beneficial for both myself and the students as I am also learning better ways to communicate with students and teach certain concepts.

Working off the aerial inspiration from before, I tried to utilize and practice the techniques I learned in photography club to capture photos of the colorful sunset and the clouds. I found framing to be an important aspect as the positioning of the horizon had a large impact on the composition of the photo. This is due to the sky above the horizon featuring a largely blank and bare surface, while below it is complex with clouds and the ground below. Balancing this simplicity and complexity was interesting as I experimented with the utilization of negative space.
