5/26 AAPI

 Last day today, I am really excited to present my project at express fest. I had some more thoughts that I wanted to add to my project like resources on how to ask POC questions without being disrespectful. I feel that by having that print out at my table will encourage people to read about how to not offend anyone. I also pulled together some last minute decorations, I happened to have a lantern laying around curtsey of my advisor who had given me it for graduation decoration. I then painted it red to match the overall theme of my project. I also gathered some asian snacks together for my peers to try, since it is educational and tasty! I then collected all my documents that needed to be printed out and then printed them out and stapled them. Then I met up with my advisor to look over my project before then going to set it up in the gym. My advisor and I then looked over my project and decided it was done! I set up my project today in the gym.

 Today was my day to finish last minute touches, I completed my video for express fest along with the long video documentary I created earlier. I finished all my art which is displayed above and I think this art is some of my best art today. In my art i dedicated my time to using watercolor and brush painting ( common form of asian art) for my art aspect. I then did origami to represent the asian communities struggles, I chose an elephant because like our asian elders they are strong and wise. Elephants are being poached and constantly threatened, much like our asian elders. I also typed up some last minute thoughts to then I printed out, like "what are micro  aggressions?" and wrote examples that I've received and how we can avoid micro aggressions.

Today I finished my final touches to my tri fold. As well as I have some more information typed up that I want to add to my tri fold tomorrow. Today was a mellow day where I just worked on my art, this is one piece of asian art I started working on earlier today, this is Chinese calligraphy which is an art form in china. I also worked on the Japanese art proportion of my art which included origami. I made about 5 paper cranes today which to be frank i'm not the best paper folder, so that definitely took awhile for me to complete. I fixed up a two minute video for express fest today as well as watched my 20m youtube video over again looking for any bad cuts or errors. I did some final edits on that and will be uploading to youtube tomorrow hopefully. And I then typed up my reflection today which I was able to complete.

Weekly reflection 2

 This week I wrapped up my poster, and i'm almost done with my art element. Im sad this project is coming to a close, however I've learned a lot more about my future and heritage. As well as learning about how my friends feel about these current issues. I think that my project covers a lot of important topics beyond just racism and struggles. Talking about how proud we are asian American, how we can use our race as an advantage. I hope that white peers can learn more about being a POC, for I have hope that people will listen. Ive decided for my art element that I wanted to do calligraphy but also a painting of how us asians feel about the current events. This is a last minute thought but I hope that I can achieve it in the next day or so.

AAPI 5/21

 Today was the last day that i worked on my tri fold. I hope this weekend I can make any final touches I have. I also spent a lot of time editing. Which is still taking me awhile to complete due to the length of all the responses. I hope by this weekend I can also work on this video and hopefully wrap it up this weekend too. And for my last part of my project I’ve gathered all the responses of how each individual wanted to be interpreted in art work. Hopefully this weekend I can complete my work and use Monday to do one final review.

AAPI Thurs 5/20

I think I had a very successful day today, i'm almost finished editing my final video for my project. It is around 20/30 minutes as of now, and hope that with my editing that the overall video will be a total of 30 minutes. And as for my tri fold it is done for the most part, I plan on adding finishing touches on tomorrow and then anding a few more pieces of info onto my tri fold. The last of my art supplies came, I received the ink needed for my painting as well as the origami paper. For my art I've decided that I want to do calligraphy and a word that describes the individual, calligraphy is a form of art within some asian cultures. I plan on also doing brush painting to contribute to my art part

 I forgot to post yesterday! but I continued to make progress on my tri fold, I worked outside and painted more. More of my art supplies arrived so I can get started on the art proportion. Im thinking of doing brush painting for my art interpretive part. Brush painting is a form of traditional painting within asian cultures, I took brush painting class for some time and think this would be a good opportunity to use my brush painting skills (its been awhile). Today (5/20) I think I can finish up my tri fold. Yay! and I also will be editing since another friend sent me his video response.
