WHO WAS THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?
I'm sure that George Washington was your best guess. But think back to your history books — The United States declared its independence in 1776, yet Washington did not take office until April 30, 1789.
So who was running the country during these initial years of this young country?
It was the first eight U.S. Presidents.
In fact, the first President of the United States was one John Hanson.
The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation. This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15,1777. Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country.
John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress. The Articles of Confederation only allowed a President to serve a one year term during any three year period.
Seven other presidents were elected after him — Elias Boudinot (1782-83), Thomas Mifflin (1783-84), Richard Henry Lee (1784-85), John Hancock (1785-86), Nathan Gorman (1786-87), Arthur St. Clair (1787-88), and Cyrus Griffin (1788-89) — all prior to Washington taking office
Why don't we hear about the first eight presidents?
It's quite simple — The Articles of Confederation didn't work well. The individual states had too much power and nothing could be agreed upon. A new doctrine needed to be written — something we know as the Constitution.
George Washington was definitely not the first President of the United States. He was the first President of the United States under the Constitution we follow today. And the first eight Presidents are forgotten in history.

Project 2
ART213 Fall 2021
Virtual Record Shop
description:
For
this project you will appropriate images you find online through the
process outlined below. The images and text you appropriate will be make
up the bands name, album name and the base image used to create a CD
cover for a fake band for the music genre of your choice. This project
is an exploration of appropriation, manipulation, research & layout
and design. We will consider the meaning attached to images through
context and our own expectations created through societal influence.
When downloading images for this project, Make sure you download the full size image!
Make
sure to save your work often. Use the 'Save As' option to save a
duplicate of your file (just change the file name). When you are
finished with your image go to File --- Export --- Save for Web
(Legacy), and save your image as a JPEG, 80% quality. Do not check any
other boxes. Save your images using this naming convention:
yourname_01.jpg, yourname_02.jpg. (ie... jvonstengel_01.jpg)
* to be successful with this project it will be important for you to do
Google searches for examples of album covers for the genre you decide to
bas your CD cover on.
The Process
1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit Random...
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to "Random quotations"
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 - Go to flickr and click on explore
To
get the photo, multiply the number of the CD cover by 2 and count until
you get tot the photo. This is your album cover image.
4
- Pick a music genre that you think would go well with the album name,
band name and/or image you got. Research the aesthetics used in album
covers for that music genre using a Google search
5 - Create a template for a CD cover and save it as a PSD
6 - Use Photoshop to assemble the text and image on the template.
7 - Manipulate the text and images to create a visual that follows the
aesthetic use of visual elements for the genre of music you chose
8 - Save your designs as explained above
9 - Create 8 different Album Covers
10 - Hand them in to Joe on your USB thumb drive
