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.

Listening in the park

Field experience reflection We went to Millennium park as a school to listen to the Sonic Pavilion Festival. These were soundscapes in the Pritzker Pavilion. We ate lunch and then walked over to listen. It was our first field experience of this school year. I was very interested in what we heard. We were thinking about what makes a classroom and how we use the space and senses around us. I was very inspired by this field experience. I listened to two different soundscapes. The first one was Fulcrum by Kitundu. Before reading the program, I thought the soundscape he produced sounded like birds flapping their wings. This was really interesting to me because I have two pet birds. It also sounded like cars going by on a busy street and going over potholes. After I read the program I learned that Kitundu was inspired by birds. It was nice to know that I perceived what he intended. His execution reflected his inspiration. We were instructed to draw what the sounds made us feel. Since the so...
