Blog 10: Senior Blog Update

1. What are you currently doing in your independent component?
- I am currently volunteering at the Latino Art Museum. There we have been setting up for upcoming exhibits. I have also been drawing my own pieces of art then my mentor will evaluate or determine where I can improve.

2. What is a recent piece of research (article, interview, or audio-visual) that have you reviewed you would have was significant in helping you understand where to go next in your senior project? The piece of research should be something you reviewed in November. Please explain what you learned and where are you going next because of this piece of research.
- My recent piece of research was an Interview who's profession is making Paper Mache. With this interview I understood how exactly paper mache is made in Mexico. He showed me step by step what I need to do. and how to do it. This helped me understand where to go next with my senior project because the way that he was making it really fascinated me. Compared to all the other folk crafts there are in Mexico this on is my favorite. So by watching this video I think I will be focusing more on paper mache.

3. Provide evidence from your independent component or the piece of research as something you recently did. For example, a photo of something your working on for you independent component or your notes from the video you watched.
