5/25 AAPI




 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.

AAPI in America day 1

 Today, I woke up at 9 and began working on my senior project. I first started by curating a series of individual questions and important topics that I want to touch upon with each person that I will be interviewing. Since everyone I will be talking to faces different challenges based on race/ethnicity I tried to have the questions be more personal and targeted to their specific issues. Following that, I also reached out to people who I was interested about hearing their experiences from. I also created a schedule which helps me keep track with the people I will be talking with. As well as made a list of all the people who I will try to meet with throughout my project. I am eager to work on my project again tomorrow and begin talking to individuals.

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.

I plan on also doing brush painting to contribute to my art part

AAPI in America Day 2 5/11

 Yesterday was very successful for me, I began wrapping up my questions and sending them out to the participants for my project. I have 5 different Asian countries represented as of now. Im hoping that number will potentially increase by a couple more in the next few days. As of now the countries I have being represented are; China, Hong Kong (which is somewhat part of china but independent), the Philippines South Korea and Taiwan (Somewhat part of China, but independent). I got two interviews done yesterday, both also had recorded answers so I can use the footage for my express fest film. Yesterday I also started planning out my art aspect of the project. And beginning to narrow down how I wanted to capture the art in each country. Today I will start my art aspect as well as get the needed supplies.
