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.

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. 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

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.
