Weekly Journal Log 01: Academic & Non-academic Texts

-

    This week we learned about Academic and Non-academic Texts. While it may have seemed obvious at first what should be considered academic and non-academic, there were so many more characteristics and factors to consider when identifying and differentiating these texts.

    From what I was able to absorb from our lessons, for a text to be considered an academic text, it has to be targeted at "academics" or in other words, intellectuals who are specialized or interested in the field or subject that said text is covering. They must also always use a formal language and tone of writing, following a specific and uniform format for the purpose of being used as a point of reference or study. Examples of this would be research papers, concept papers, thesis papers, etc.

    Non-academic texts on the other hand are texts that do not quite follow a specific format. Although a lot of them will share similar formats due to having similar purposes, such as cooking recipes and gossip articles. Actually, even the content of this very blog could be considered as non-academic texts. But I'm getting a bit off topic here. Non-academic texts typically cater to the general public and masses. They utilize easy-to-understand terms and phrases instead of using academic jargon that only a certain group of people can understand.

    Overall, this week's lesson was an interesting and enjoyable one. I think I can say on behalf of my class that we did indeed learn a lot from it and at the very least got a better understanding of Academic and Non-academic Texts.

Pardo Church. I'm pretty sure my first communion was held here. According to my research, Santo Tomás de Villanueva Parish The fortress-like façade of Pardo church built was built between 1880-93. The town was created by a government decree of 10 March 1863. It became an independent parish, through a diocesan decree of 10 April 1866, after being a visita of San Nicolas. Fr. Domingo Sanchez built a temporary structure while the church was still under San Nicolas. In 1866, Fr. Meliton Talegon was named parish priest and on 16 September 1877 reports to the provincial that a church of tabique pampango and nipa, built ten year previous is in ruinous condition. A document from that same year presents the project proposal of Domingo de Escondrillas, the district engineer of Cebu. Escondrillas is credited with designing other churches, notably Loon in Bohol. He proposed a church in the Latin-Byzantine Order as there was no such church in that style in the district. Bure...

Classical Art Inspired Artwork #TheArtistWithin #TwoWeeksEarly #:)))

 My drawing-- or sketch, if you will, was inspired by the late Renaissance Era, specifically by the artworks of Michelangelo, my favorite ninja turtle. After a few hours of looking up references and coming up with an idea of what I wanted to draw, it took me a little over an hour to finish the whole piece. I based the drawing off of three of Michelangelo's sketch-drawings, particularly, drawings of women.  I used his sketches as references for drawing certain parts like the eyes and the general face, I kinda merged what I got from the references, well I mean-I think that's what you're supposed to do with references. I drew a woman from the neck up. She wears her short curly hair behind a bandana or something and is kinda just, wanting to leave whatever event she's at , I think. That's the kinda vibe I was going for. The first video clip is mostly just me sketching out the shape of the face based on my references and deciding what angle it should be, then putting in ...
