My name is Valentino. I’m 12 years old and I love spending time colouring in images , I have many felt pens , my favourite colour in red. I like to colour in anything especially animals. I love to be creative so I like to paint to make collages and taking photos. During lockdown colouring was fun and helpful. Art makes me happy.  I love to travel every where. I love to go to Puglia in Italy and eat mozzarella and playing around the olive trees. I like to collect pebbles at the seaside and them colour them in.

I have done silver arts award Summer film project last summer and that was my first project with HCA

I felt excited for lockdown at first as I don't have to work so hard but soon after that j realised that I have been doing more studying at home than at school. I hope to get some socialisation from HCA Virtual Gallery as it always exciting to meet new people especially at a time like this.

What I’ve Got: Architect’s Lamp

This lamp has worked wonders for my late-night studying. Due to the adjustable swiveling neck and joints, this lamp offers focused illumination from any angle unlike standing lamps. Whether I am reading, typing, drawing, or building, the adjustable, extended neck allows the lamp to fit the activity rather than the other way around. Moreover, the simple, steel design appeals for its sturdiness, seemingly communicating the idea that this lamp will hold its position once set, unlike a gooseneck lamp.

The Frye Alaska Snow Boot

Self-designated “distinctly all-American” shoe and leather brand The Frye Company made its first foray into colder climates with the aptly-named “Alaska Lace Up Shearling Boot.” "Born in the wilderness and raised in the city,” the Alaska Boot features a heavy lug rubber outsole designed to be waterproof provide stability and traction via deep indentations. Above the rubber, the boot features prominent brown leather presumably included as much for function as for fashion. Finally, the boot is lined with shearling wool which provides insulation and allows for a more molded fit. 

As indicated by the location in the name, the Alaska Lace-Up evokes images of exploration and adventure in the American Tundra. Not surprisingly, the shoe checks most standard snow boot boxes, including

a high side that keeps snow from entering

a rubber sole to keep water out (and significant waterproofing)

easy-to-clean materials

A layer of insulation underneath the waterproofed outer layer

Interestingly, however, Frye’s history lies less in outfitting pioneers than soldiers. The first Frye Boot was designed in 1888 by founder and renowned British shoemaker John A. Frye. In 1936 the company began to differentiate itself after developing the Goodyear Welt footwear construction method which combined sturdiness and breathability in a new way. A few years later, Frye’s reputation and brand awareness skyrocketed worldwide after they were chosen to provide boots for US servicemen during World War II. In fact, Frye’s history of supplying soldiers as early as the Civil War, when they supplied shoes for both union and confederate soldiers. 

This tradition continued through the Spanish American War and past WWII. Yet in the 1940s while making boots for the war effort, Frye simultaneously began to branch out. They designed their first cowboy boot, the Rancher, which started a “western trend” for the company. While their geographic customer base expanded to include pioneers who crossed the west, their desired utilitarian demographic stayed constant.

Recently, it appears this target demo has shifted. It’s worth noting that included inside of a long list of the ways in which the leather is treated, the company’s website specifically mentions that the leather is prone to scratching, which seems a bit out of place in a winter boot, and perhaps reveals belies an underlying shift in Frye’s brand direction. Similarly, despite the massive emphasis on the all-American history of the company (they even have a “Giving Hunger the Boot - Frye X Feeding America” promotion online), Frye specifically emphasizes that they use European leather designed and tanned in Italy. Maybe appreciating the shift in focus from function to fashion, Frye has changed with the time, targeting “weekend camping trips” and “morning hikes” (according to their website) as opposed to battlefields and uncolonized terrain. Either way I still like the shoes :)

tumblees: arguing over chewing water

me: *takes sip of cheeseburger*

Water has particles I would say yes, you can chew water.When you chew food you're chewing particles. Its the same thing as water. If you move your teeth up and down like a chewing motion, then you can chew it as long as long as your teeth are touching the water. Its possible

I chew water and chew air so yes I on many times have chewed water and it is a object you can somewhat touch, And if you can touch it and it is digest-able you can chew it. I also on many occasions have chewed air (yes I know WEIRD) but I do it anyway. Its just because I love food and water. Its natural

Duh. Who doesn't? Of course you have to chew water. Who swallow their water whole. Chewing is good for digestion. The digestive tract doesn't have to overwork as much. It is dangerous to swallow gulps of water without chewing. Most of the time that i don't chew it, I usually choke and the stomach is extremely irritated.

I guess I'm just weird bcuz I chew water I think it's just an automatic action for a few if us. It's not a conscious thought or action. I'm 58, And have been chewing while drinking liquids snice i was 6 or 7. I don't drink alchol so I can speak to that. One of my roommates noticed it and asked why the hell was I chewing my water? J Didn't gave/don't have an answer. Guess it's my mom's fault. . . . Chew your food at least 20 times. It must come from that. Chew no matter what and you be okay. Mom's fault. Shame on her for the 20 times thing.

Well, you kinda can Look, you can chew anything. Even air. Even water. Even solids. If you are chewing a diamond, even if you are not making any dents (except on your teeth) you are still chewing it. So, you can chew water. But should you chew water? Well, thats another question for another day.

In it's solid form, of course Water, like all chemicals, can be either a gas, a solid, or a liquid. A given sample of water can be a water vapor, liquid water, or ice. Although one's teeth cannot chew on a vapor, and the particles of the liquid form are not taken apart by chewing (which is the point). However, chewing ice (which is solidified water) does accomplish the goal of chewing. So water can be chewed.

You can not chew water. The definition of chew is "to bite and work (food) in the mouth with the teeth, Especially to make it easier to swallow. " You can not make water easier to swallow by chewing. It goes through your teeth, So nothing is changing. I understand you CAN chew ICE as chewing ice would make it easier to swallow, However, Chewing on H2O doesn't change anything.

What I’m Wearing: Heattech Scoop Neck Top

Packaged in crisp, futuristic, and silver-foiled packages, Uniqlo’s Heattech garment line has been famous for flying off the brand’s shelves everywhere. It is no wonder – who would not want to purchase garments backed by science?

 Uniqlo’s HEATTECH Scoop Neck Top in Black initially appears quite understated and standard. Yet even in its simplicity, this stretchy, fitted top hugs you in a comforting, smooth and warm manner.  Simple, practical and effective are words that come to mind to describe the top and its profound ability to keep me warm. These descriptors fall directly in line with the goals of the larger company, “simple made better.”

Yet, embedded within the fabrics of this shirt is the innovative Heattech technology that has developed by Uniqlo and Toray Industries. Uniqlo and Tory, a textiles and fibers firm, collaborated to create the Heattech line, with Tory creating and supplying the fabrics and Uniqlo spearheading the design and marketing of the products. Textiles and fibers firm Tory Industries created Heattech fabric to fulfill the goal of creating a lighter, thinner, and warmer thermal than traditional bulky thermals that existed previously. Heattech garments, made with fabric consisting of threads one-tenth the width of a human hair, did just that. Heattech uniquely absorbs body moisture to create heat evenly throughout the body. What resulted is the creation of powerful new garments that are not only stretchy, soft and anti-static, but also insulating, moisture-wicking, quick drying and non-deforming.

There is something quite elegant about the emphasis on simplicity and practicality just as technology becomes more advanced and more complicated. Uniqlo’s Heattech Scoop Neck Top shows these trends are quite compatible.

Doodledom! Mindful doodling on another level

Hi I'm Shamoli,

I live in Central London and feel blessed to have so many things on my doorstep. I love being creative and enjoy socialised, keeping active and eating! Food brings people together and I like trying different things. I've been involved with a Digital Story Telling project with HCA and my children have taken part in various projects when they were younger. Lock down is odd and has had ups and downs for me. It's been earie going out for walks and seeing a bustling city almost as a ghost town. I have appreciated the peacefulness and breathing in air that isn't heavily polluted. I miss social interactions, eating out, sitting for a coffee and just watching the world go by. I've had days where I feel I've been productive and days where I feel I have done absolutely nothing! And that's ok, I'm accepting my little achievements and hopeful that it'll all be ok. I think will be nice to have a little creative outlet and I think this project is a reminder that we all have a connection to a bigger picture!

Wearable Storytelling: Canvas Backpacks

Although a quintessential item for today’s students, the modern backpack originated in 1951 when avid outdoorsman Dick Kelty modified his supplies pack to carry weight on his hips rather than shoulders. Originally made from a wooden frame and a canvas hip-belt, backpacks received an upgrade in 1970 when Jansport founder Skip Youvell omitted the hip belt in favor of a chest strap and redesigned the pack in vinyl, leather, and nylon. Later that year, Youvell recommended the backpack as a means for carrying heavy books to a student, and by the late 1970s, Jansport backpacks had become a staple of the student’s toolkit.

Under the Herschel company, canvas backpacks with leather trimmings made a comeback as a fashion statement in the mid-2000s. Through its choice of material, the backpack recalls the rugged, outdoors aesthetic of Kelty’s original design: durable, reliable, high quality, and above all, adventurous.

Wearable Story: An Asymmetrical Tribal Patterned Sweater

Asymmetry, the lack of symmetry or equality, is often used as a method of achieving a harmony for many designs. In nature, we tend to find people with more symmetrical faces to be considered more attractive and concerned with the health of faces lacking symmetry. 

(Image, Source 5)

Though, designers often play with asymmetry to draw our attention away from imperfections, or around the design more. Asymmetry allows our eyes to travel more, creating a more attractive, playful and thought provoking design. Irregular cuts are currently trendy, seen on and off the runway during fashion week, and provide “complete freedom and break away from the rigid lines of symmetry.” (Source 1) Though an asymmetrical hemline has been popular for a long time, ancient greek statues are seen sporting these trendy styles. 

(Image, Source 6)

In addition to the asymmetry of the hemline being desirable the sweater includes a Tribal/Ethnic print. Referred to as tribal because most do not know the exact design. Upon more research, the sweater is in an Aztec Pattern or a Ganado Pattern. The Ganado pattern is seen in Navajo art and began popular “in the late 1800s, they started weaving a few particularly popular designs to trade.” (Source 2) 

This pattern is very geometric and symmetrical. This sweater is appealing to those desiring an equal balance of both symmetry and asymmetry.  Wrapping yourself in a trendy sweater that is lively and plush is a win-win for me.

My Wearable Story HEATTECH: Japanese Technology

As far as I could remember, my mom always forced me to wear merino wool inner when winer came and personally I just didn’t enjoy the texture of wool because it made me feel itchy. 

(years passed)

I did not remember clearly when I started to wear HEATTECH. But when I lived in Japan, it was nearly impossible to find a person who never heard of or wore HEATTECH. According to a survey conducted by UNIQLO, more than 9 out of 10 (96.3％) people surveyed recognized the brand and1 of 2 (55.3%) owned HEATTECH. People even mentioned HEATTECH “changed my daily life” (80.8％) because it helps them engage in a “wider variety of activities” or dress “more fashionably.” It also influenced people inwardly, helping them enjoy winter more proactively. 

So...how does HEATEACH work? What’s the technology behind it?

The concept of HEATTECH is to transform people’s stereotype of winter clothing. In the past, it was taken for granted that people need to put on multiple layers of bulky clothes to stay warm. HEATTECH, UNIQLO's winter wear, has changed such conventional wisdom for winter, providing a new level of comfort in people’s lives. HEATTECH was jointly developed by UNIQLO and world leading textile manufacturer TORAY INDUSTRIES since its launch in 2003. Heat generation and heat retention are two main functions of HEATTECH. HEATTECH absorbs your body moisture, the movement of tiny droplets actually generates heat to keep you warm. On the other hand, the air pockets in the material then store this heat in the fibers to keep the warmth on your skin. To me, the most important reason I chose HEATTECH is the fiber also reduces discomfort from static electricity, when putting on and taking off the garment. It also have a wide range of variation(37 design variations with maximum 23 colors) so you can almost wear it everyday without picking the suitable for your daily life. 

The function of HEATTECH has constantly evolved, with adding more collection using HEATTECH technology. So basically now I can wear HEATTECH from top to bottom while keeping warm without wearing too much.

Wearable Story: Woolwich Pennsylvania Tuxedo

Woolrich is an outdoor clothing company known for its timeless wool coats and blankets (Woolrich has made blankets during the Civil War and both World Wars!). The company was founded back in 1830 by John Rich who immigrated to Plum Run, Pennsylvania from England. It all started with John starting a wool mill and selling his wares out of a mule cart to different tradesmen in need of durable, warm wool products. During the Civil War, Woolrich made wool blankets for Union soldiers. By the late 1800s, Woolrich expanded to the leisure market. As more people were able to enjoy the outdoors, the market for wool products opened up as well. As more and more people could afford to spend time outside and vacation, the more people who needed warm clothes. In 1925, Woolwich introduced its Classic Hunt Coat. The black-on-red Heritage Plaid coat came with wool pants to match. The bright red material was chosen to appeal to hunters. The matching set became known as the Pennsylvania Tuxedo, becoming a staple in outdoorsmen’s closets. By the late 1980’s, Woolwich became an international brand. Today, the Pennsylvania Tuxedo is considered a historic and iconic item in American fashion.

My dad purchased his Classic Hunt Coat in the late 1970’s. He bought it to wear during his trips to Alaska - for nearly 15 years, he’d spend 6 months out of the year salmon fishing, crabbing, and hunting all throughout the Alaskan wilderness. The coat lasted him through all of his trips. We live in Florida now, and when it was time for me to move up north, he passed his Classic Hunt Coat in black-on-red Heritage Plaid on to me. The coat is now almost forty years old yet looks like I just bought it. It’s extremely durable, warm, and super cool.

My name is Aerynne and I am 13 years old. Some of my hobbies are playing violin and piano and singing and making art. I love all types of art but haven’t really ever learnt about photography or film which is one of the reasons I joined this course . I want to improve on these skills and be able to do fun art work despite not being in a classroom. I miss not going into school a lot and i miss seeing my friends everyday but I think working from home has practical uses that I’ll use int he future like being organised. I can’t wait to do more on this course!

AEO EXTREME FLEX SLIM STRAIGHT JEAN

While I never thought I’d be typing “When did jeans get stretchy” into Google, life takes you to many strange places.

Stretchy denim has been around for longer than I would have imagined, and jean-makers started incorporating Spandex (Elastene) into their products at the beginning of the 80′s, though it wasn’t until more recently that this became widely done. The very first pair was created by fashion designer Peter Golding in 1978 for his hip clothing store in England. At the start, the idea was all about the way the jeans hugged your body (read: sex appeal), and they were marketed almost exclusively to wealthy women. Now, lots of companies sell stretch jeans to their normal consumer markets, and the trend is becoming much more common.

NOTE: Stretch Jeans are not to be confused with Jeggins, which are essentially just leggings that look like jeans.
