We are judging

over 99% of women have been cat called and that isn't how the world is supposed to be. In this unit we explored changing the world with art. We visited memorials and discussed what makes something effective rhetorically.

 There hasn't been many consequences for cat callers.I want to connect coniquences with those who catcall. This topic is sort of brushed off as something that happens to every woman and is therefore normal. It should not be that way. Cat calling shouldn't be so common in today's society. Those who do it are often frowned upon but since it is often a stranger, nothing happens. I want to show men how women feel about those who do it and I want to connect societal judgement as a consequence. Women get told horrible things on the street. It can be scary and why should we let women be scared? What is stopping men from standing up for women? Why do so many just turn the other way when they see this happening? It is truly disgusting. This has been going on for so long with such little action. 13% of women are cat called by the age of 10. Over 99 percent of women have been street harassed. Over 99 percent. Almost every woman deals with it. This art work would be posted as a poster. I chose photos because it is so easy to connect to real people. Paintings can be hard to feel emotions towards.

Digging our self a better shovel

Digging our way into a better shovel Action project on tools In this Unit we learned about tools and empathy. We redesigned the shovel to make it easier to use for those who have a hard time with balance. We designed the tool for those with balance and joint issues. The elderly often have that problem. Empathy is about thinking of others' situations and trying to relate. This project really focused on those who may not have as good balance as I do. I got lucky with that and not everyone else has. It's important not to assume everyone can do what you can. This tool is a wedge and a lever. You use your hand as a fulcrum and your legs as the weight to wedge the blade into the soil.  As a class we tried planting flowers with and without tools in the garden. This allowed us to see how tools work and what they do. We interviewed a gardener so we could gather more information about tools. We went to Home Depot to look a their tools and try some out. It was very eyeopening

Sleep Away Camp

In the summer of 2019 I spent three weeks volunteering at a sleep away camp. I taught archery with a long bow and took care of 7-15 year old during the hours I wasn't teaching. I learned so much from this experience. I took responsibility and created fun activities for the kids to keep them entertained. I really grew up during my time there. Having to take care of so many kids and help them process their emotions was eye opening. The sunset there was beautiful and I made so many wonderful memories. The sunset one night before a storm. The archery range I worked at. A target I made for the kids that I named the Quacken.

Chatting with a bot

Chatting with a bot This was the last action project for my coding class. For this action project we made a chat bot. We had to have 5 questions to ask you. I wanted to be a bit funny with my questions. I learned a lot making the bot. I learned to think differently about how to ask questions and how to write in a way that a computer and a person could understand. I really liked the creativity I was able to express in this project.  I struggled with my spelling in this project. When something is written in code there isn't spell check. That made things a lot more complicated. I wasn't quite sure how to organize some of the questions and how to create sub questions. I enjoyed making the bot and being able to add some humor to the project. Often coding seems very sterile and boring but being able to make my own questions made it a lot more interesting.
