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.

AAPI Weekly Reflection

  Weekly reflection   This week was very tough for me, getting a start on my project was somewhat rough. Since I don’t have my tri fold yet that has set me back a bit for planning. I ran into some minor issues with video editing but overall I’m committed to still working through it and getting my video completed. My favorite part of this week was reaching out to individuals and having them have such a positive reaction to answering my questions. As a whole this project gave many of the individuals a feeling of importance which their opinion was wanted. I’m excited for next week and wrapping up my video as well as getting my trifold and start to focus more on the art part of my project. My hope is that more of my supplies comes in by the middle of the week and I can then finish my video by Tuesday (assuming I work overtime)

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

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.
