UZA and UZA Synyster Syn Founder Sydoney Banks is taking ART 142 - Intro to Digital Photography with Instructor Alvin Jerry Sieve for the summer 2017 at PVCC.  The world of education is absolutely amazing.  Knowledge after you have learned it, is one thing that cannot be take away from you.  I am very thankful to finally have the opportunity to learn about the art of photography and all the equipment used to make interesting photographs and to have stunning, cooperative models as well.  Learning about photography is so cool and I have an amazing instructor.  I am learning and growing so much in these quickly passing summer months.  One of the best parts of this class is learning how the camera actually works, from the inside out.  Another important part of this class, is the photo shoot opportunities and the connections that you can make with others by having the photo shoots.  I have a blast on the photo shoots and I try to come up with creative and entertaining ideas, so that everyone involved will enjoy the experience.  My models are such terrific and special people and I love them so very much for wanting to take part in these activities.  I am so blessed to get to work with them and to get to know them individually as well as to have a lot of fun while learning.  I appreciate them so much for showing up on time and taking time from their busy schedules to help me with the photo shoots required by the class.  I am truly grateful for my models and their support of me as well as my fellow photographers and their friendship.



Thank you for your contribution to the PVCC 
Photo Shoots for summer 2017!
My Models:  Maggie Aguilera, Sophia Smith, Kendall Yazzie, and Jesús Andrés Quintero Paredes.

UZA at Mad Monster 2017!

Picture
UZA Zombies go to Mad Monster Arizona 2017.
UZA had a blast and an amazing time.
Mad Monster had UZA Zombies walking around.
We are so blessed to have had this opportunity.
UZA are big fans and supporters of Mad Monster. 
Mad Monster is an amazing event and they really do care about the people. 

Mad Monster has a loving and welcoming family vibe.
They go out of their way to put on such a great show.
  Compared to many big expensive Cons, Mad Monster delivers fun for all.

Be careful when going to any Events and Cons, learn about the event
and what you can get for your money and time.  Learn how they treat patrons, vendors, volunteers, etc., to see if you want to support them and their causes with your money.
Not all Cons are alike, so learn more so you know how your money is being used by Cons. Mad Monster is in it for the experience, fun, and fans.
Mad Monster is very good to the volunteers and staff; they treat you like family.
They really care about everything and everyone.
You can feel the love at Mad Monster.
This is one of the best Events in Arizona and UZA loves Mad Monster.
UZA had a blast walking around and meeting with all the people there.
We loved taking photos and giving high fives to those attending.

We even made new friends!

Thank you:  Mad Monster, Joe Moe, Cathie Neales-Mansfield, Seth Summers, 
the cast of "Night of The Living Dead", the Mad Monster Photographer and staff, and the 
UZA Amazing Team of Zombies and Helpers!

UZA Needs help with Makeup replenishing!

UZA aka United Zombies of America is in need of some help with makeup supplies.Your help will benefit the Arizona Community and its youth.  UZA has been doing FREE Makeup for 5 years now.  We have done makeup classes, workshops, panels, and education for youth and all other age groups.  We love educating everyone on makeup and all the amazing things it can be done for and to enhance.  We do not charge to do makeup education so that those who cannot afford it can still have the opportunity to learn.  We also come to community events dressed up usually as zombies, but also as many other characters as well.  We are running low on some of the makeup we use most often and would like to purchase more to have enough to use as needed for our upcoming events and activities.  The funds we raise will go to makeup.  We love what we do and want to continue to make a difference for others and to touch the lives of many.  Please Help us out, so we can keep moving forward and bring joy and fun to our beloved community.  We are looking at buying the makeup as soon as we can.  This help would mean the world to us and will also let us know that we are loved and supported by our local community.  We love helping and giving and we could use the help so that we can give it all back to what we love doing for others and that is all of you.  God bless you and we are so grateful for any amount or support.  Nothing is too small because a lot of small amounts adds up and it all counts!  THANK YOU!!  If you don't know whatUnited Zombies of America aka UZA is you can find out more about us at http://www.united-zombies-of-america.com/

WHY COMICS?

Some of you may be asking yourself, "Why would librarians be encouraging people to read comics? Don't they only like seriousbooks?" The truth is librarians love reading of all kinds!
Comics and graphic novels can encourage literacy and boost reading skills in many ways.

  • Images provide the context necessary to help build vocabulary for ESL & reluctant readers
  • The slow pace of analyzing images and pausing in between panels encourages time to reflect and build reading comprehension
  • Colorful graphics and exciting story lines can captivate attention span & interest
  • Reinforces Common Core standards by reinforcing visual and verbal literacy
  • There are now graphic novels & comics that are creative, enjoyable pieces of literature for all ages

Out of This World Adventure at IDEA Museum in Mesa AZ

UZA Founders Ray and Sydoney Banks went on an adventure to a galaxy far, far, away.  They went to an event called Sci-Fi Family Day at a galaxy named Mesa, Arizona on a planet called IDEA Museum.  They had a blast at IDEA Museum.  IDEA Museum inspired Ray and Sydoney along with countless others to experience their world differently through art, technology, science, creativity, and imagination.  They made masks, built robots and raced them, took photos with a green screen wall, doodled and made artwork, even had tea with the Mad Hatter, and so much more.  They even met up with some friends of theirs the Arizona Ghostbusters and had a great, fun time with them.  We believe that everyone should come and try out this wonderful planet in the Mesa, Arizona galaxy.  Come and enjoy the day by having your own adventures at planet IDEA Museum like we did.  It really is a blast for the whole family and all ages.  We hope you have your IDEA Museum adventure soon!!

Ray and Sydoney are safely back at home now and they will never forget their exciting encounter that they had on that mysterious “out-of-this-world” day.




*Hint* They might have even brought a little something or someone back with them!

UZA and Synyster Syn Founder, Sydoney A.A. Banks 
is going to school to become a cosmetologist.


This whole school thing is all very new and different to me.  I know it is not easy, but I know that not anything that is worth having is always easy to attain.  I am scared most of the time of failing and not being good at cosmetology, but I do not want to give up because I am not a quitter.  I have seen so many people just quit and give up on their life, their dreams, their goals and so much more.  I know, I do not want to be like them and always have regrets and feel like a failure in life.  School is tough and it is a lot to take in and understand especially when you have a learning disability.  When you have a learning disability, everything is a lot more difficult to grasp and understand it is not easy and I have to work very hard at it.  If you have any kind of learning disability, it does not mean that you are in anyway less intelligent than anyone else it just means that you learn differently.  I still have problems with that, because I forget that others learn easier than I do and that I learn differently than they do, so I feel less intelligent even though I may be more intelligent than others who have fewer or no problems learning things.  In school, it is hard to see others getting good grades and doing really well, and I am barely passing, but I have to remember that I am working 20 times harder because my brain processes how I do things differently.  I am happy for my fellow students and I am amazed on how well they do what they do.  I just have to remember what my goal is and how to hold on to it and keep on trucking.  I have to remember and understand that I cannot compare myself to them, I can only compare me to myself and try to keep improving and doing better than I did the last time I attempted to do whatever it is that I am now doing.  I love my current school, the fantastic staff, the students, and the class I am in, they are all amazing.  My teacher is really one of a kind, very old school yet up on how we all learn in varied ways, and I am so very thankful for her.  This is a big step on my way to my dreams and I cannot let anyone stop me, including myself.  I had a fun time with the last hair show competition it was fun and different for me.  I did the makeup and I have never done anything like that before, so it was stressful and scary, but I did it and it all came out very good.  I was not 100% happy with it, but there is always room for improvement.  The fact is I did it, I had fun, and I learned from it.  I know that by pushing yourself, it is the only way to be challenged and to improve yourself.  Try new things and be opened up to the unknown. My team was amazing and we did a terrific job. 
 I am so proud of all of us.

 "Winter Wonderland" Student Hair Show and competition

The founder and head makeup artist at United Zombies of America, Sydoney Banks, and her amazing team of three other students entered a Student Hair Show and Competition at their cosmetology school.  They did a wonderful job and everyone at UZA and Synyster Syn are so proud of them for the courage and talents they showed in their attempt to compete as new students with only two weeks of school to consider for their attempt as well as their former outside knowledge they had.  They took a big chance by entering the competition but they went for it anyway.  They put in their time, money, effort, work, worry, fear, blood, sweat and tears as well as their laughter and love for each other and fun.  They had a great time learning and experimenting as well as they gained a lot from the bonding experience formed from this opportunity. Sadly, they did not win, but in a way, they really did, just by attempting so early in their training. Good Job - Team Hallway Crew! (their team name)

Hair Show 
by Sydoney Banks
 
I am so proud of my team and we did amazing.
We were scared and nervous and we did not fit in with the other contestants, but we did it anyway.
I am so glad we did it because we did learn a lot and we had a fun time. I knew we were not going to win because the school would not get our style choice and that is okay.  A lot of underdogs and outcasts do become someone when their time is right like Tim Burton, Walt Disney and many more. To be honest Tim Burton was one of our biggest inspirations for the hair show.  I am a big Tim Burton fan.  We were picked on and made fun of by other students but you keep going and never let those bullies win.  I myself have been picked on my whole life but I do not let it stop me.  When watching my team work with me and come out and walk the runway I got so nervous and felt this warm happy feeling and I started to cry a little.  I almost never cry and I don't like to cry especially in front of people.  I was so proud, not just of myself, but mostly my team and how far we have come so far together in this. My main thing here - is to always follow your dreams and step out of your comfort zone so you can push yourself forward to become better. Never let rude and uncaring bullies stop you or get in your way, keep going on, one step at a time, and rise above them.The whole hair show thing was quite an experience and it was emotional, scary, and a rollercoaster.  I would do it all over again exactly the same.  
This whole cosmetology thing is all new for me and very scary. I know I will do fine and just have to keep at it. When I first started haunted houses and SFX makeup it was scary and new to me also. Now student and soon to be cosmetologist Sydoney A.A. Banks.

Here is what Sara says to anyone 
wanting to be a makeup artist
"if you don't have a type of makeup try using another,save up your money because some makeup can be expensive and don't get frustrated on the first time doing a type of FX makeup it takes practice,practice makes perfect and don't be so hard on yourself on how it is nothing comes out perfect."




We here at UZA love her work and how she is keeping at it! Great Job Sara Spellman Please please keep up the amazing work! Can not wait to see what she will do in the future!
