Blog: 4 EQ

The Pentagon:
(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?
- On positive thing that has occurred so far was that by doing my research on my topic I was able to find different types of art that had not heard of. Allowing me to know more about it and expand my research.


(2) EQ Content: Pick a piece of research or your interview. How has it helped you improve your understanding of you topic?
- Yes, my interview has helped me improve my understanding of my topic by teaching me more about the history and the origins of it. My interviewee taught me about the different types of artist and styles, but also the variety of topics I can focus on.

(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
- I have a lot of different arts to choose from allowing me to research more about the so that I'm able to focus on one specific topic.

(4) What hasn't worked so far?
- It has been hard to find research because it is very limiting making it hard to find what is required. Finding a mentor has been a little bit difficult because I think I want to focus more on the folk art instead of just Mexican art in general.

(5) Finding the Value: Based on your experience so far,

• What possible question or questions come to mind regarding what you would like to study this year (don't list questions about the instructions relating to the senior project)?

- What techniques are there in creating the different types of folk art? What roles did the artist play in the society? What sets an art piece apart from other pieces?

• What is your end goal this year with your senior project (don't say get a good grade or gain knowledge, put specific things you want to accomplish in you senior project this year)?

- My end goal this year is to become a better artist and expand my network. I would like to go to Mexico and officially learn how to make the different types of folk art and by doing my senior project on Mexican Art  I am able to learn the history and the basics of folk art.

• Who would you like to talk to next? Why?

- I would like to talk to someone who works in a Museum of Mexican art so that I'm to learn from them and introduce me to the different artist that exhibit their paintings there.
