Abstract:

For our capstone, we chose to utilize our city around us. Where we grew up and continue to live is very important to use, as it is a large city which many people aspire to visit one day. We wanted to utilize our city to create our lasting legacy at Science Leadership Academy at Beeber. Our final project was a website which high school students, adults, and visitors can use to find places to learn about the history of our city. Included in each page on the website is a source of the actual place so they can do additional research. As well as doing our own research we created an ideal walking tour which the visitors of the website can use as they please. This was actually an interesting experience for us because not only were we learning more and more about places in the city and the history around us; we began to feel like travel agents planning a families vacation in a city that we are used to. As well as creating the website and conducting research, we created brochures that could be handed out around the school and neighborhoods. We hope that you enjoy our efforts to spread the love for our city and its extremely interesting history!

This article was very helpful for my project. It tells us how to develop a walking tour, which is exactly what we’re doing. To summarize the article it states that you must chose a topic or theme, plan a route and research the stories, places and people you want to talk about on the way. It is also important to note the length of the tour and choosing specific points of interest.

My grandma’s dining room

My grandmother dining room is the most crowded place in her house.It is the second room I see in my grandma’s house in usually has candy on the table because she buy a lot for me and my siblings. It also has a large rug in the middle of the room. Also my grandmother's picture frames with my pictures.

Klya sat in her bedroom on the couch by the window.  She had just moved into this big house and she had picked this room because it was her favorite one in the house.  Even though it wasn't too big she loved the big windows that gave her a nice wiew of the backyard, the wooden floor, and the fact that it had a bathroom connected to it.  So far her room was pretty bare.  She hadn’t really given the chance to fill it up with too much stuff.  She had some of her furniture from home like her bed, couch, her shelve with some of her old stuff, and desk with a chair, and a rug.  She also had her favorite teddy bear which her mother had given her when she was little and she and she had kept it ever since, her rug which had been made by her best friend as a going away present. She couldn’t wait to fill it up with more stuff. A few things had been left by the previous owners who had lived there before like the painting of the ocean hanging on the wall and a few books.

​Thought these past few months of determining what I would like to do for my senior capstone considering I had a lot of options. But I finally settled on one, my career as a fashion designer. It has been a really tough struggle getting to the point where I am now. In the beginning, getting started was very complex for me. Learning how to sew and also picking out which designs I’d like to start off with.I bought my first sewing machine in late august but did not begin to actually use it until december and I had issues with it as well where I had to stop sewing at home and even come in early to school to use the school's machine. My first Fashion show where i was a designer and not a model took place this year at Columbia University in New York city. I was scouted through social media to participate in their show and I was truly honored especially as a new designer, This was huge for me. I met a lot of great people and designers that attended the most prestigious of Fashion design schools, ( Parsons, The New School and Fashion Institute of Technology ) I winded up going to that show alone, with no one to accompany me and see my dreams come to life but it was still a great experience even though I had to bask in it by myself.

“ Everything I learned about getting dressed, I learned from pop music. I grew up in the 80s, at the pinnacle of pop’s pomp and pageantry. It’s hard to imagine oneself back to those days, before “pop” became the pejorative term it is – shorthand for the interchangeably banal warbling that is a pretext for Saturday-night TV. In the 80s, pop was the main attraction – it was a genre so broad and vibrant, musically and aesthetically, a sparkling explosion of hooks and looks in the age of the music video, of unreality TV. Pop stars seemed to be from another planet and dressed to demonstrate as much. Madonna, Kate Bush” this useful for that quotes entire statement. I trust this because this is coming first hand from someone who lived through that generation and also was influence the same way I was.

Was other people inspired by music of the fashion industry.

• Article Title : The Relationship Between Culture and Fashion

• Date Accessed : February 03, 2017

This is useful to me because I incorporate my fashion with culture and I feel as though the culture of different ethnicities is what made the fashion industry what it is now. “ Fashion— undoubtedly— reflects culture. All major trends and styles of the past, in one way or another, came to be by way of cultural influence. Throughout history, this is particularly noticeable in the realm of women’s fashion. Only at the turn of the 20th century, when women were beginning to more strongly fight for equal rights, were women first seen wearing pants.” I trust this source because it backs up each fact and has resources. Has culture appropriation been depriving the fashion industry?

• Date Published: September 21, 2015

“ Fashion is in love with art like never before. From clothing design to catwalk show art direction, major labels to boutique houses, the word of fashion is falling over itself to involve important names from a diverse range of the visual arts. It’s hardy surprising — after all what is fashion if not wearable art — and these collaborations between the disciplines are certainly mutually beneficial. Fashion, often unfairly judged as one of the more frivolous applied arts, gains serious cachet by association, while the artist reaches a wider, more populist audience.”

This is useful well because of that quote. Fashion is wearable art. I trust this source because I feel as though I can relate to what they are saying because it is true. NONE.

I opened my bedroom door, brisk, cold air hit my face. I walked in and looked around, remembering the days where the walls were blank. Where the room was empty, void of life and memories.

My bed was neatly made up, with the books I’ve recently and previously bought. I sat on it and picked up my computer, the late birthday from my mother. It was identical to the one she has. I opened it and started to watch some videos on Youtube. After watching hours of Youtube videos, I got up from my bed and looked at my posters, posters I’ve bought from Amazon that resembled for love for anime and meaningful quotes.

I walked over to my dresser. My mother had a friend to built and paint it. It was a rich blue color and was filled with my clothes. The dresser also had some more of my books on top of it and a writing certificate on the wall. I reached over and grabbed a book. I walked over to my bed and started to read.

Also she has this dog that her older brother had gotten for her when she was a baby, but he passed away and so the only reminder she has of him.

The little kid that lives in this house is 16 years old. He moved out from his parents house at such a young age because of how independent he has become. His house is very modern and sleek, with a vintage table and an amazing rosewood floor, his house is true beauty. In his living room, it’s extremely neat and filed. In the living room he has a burgundy couch and ahead of it lies his 45 inch tv he earned from getting straight A’s for his entire life. From his parents house he brought along his brown stuffed bear that he has had from childhood, he got the bear from the carnival. He also got a ink pen that was handed down from his great grandfather. Lastly, he got a pot that was from China, it is extremely intricate and beautiful.  

Venice recounts the hours spent that she would get ready for her first days of high-school. Reflecting on her encounters, her interactions, and the ways that her days would end.

Now, within the present, sitting on her mattress inside of her bedroom, she gazes at the envelope labeled from Yale University. This was the ticket to her future; it was now or never. She anxiously settles her stare onto a painting that was given her as a graduation gift; a picture she had taken of a rose turned photograph. “This is everything. This is everything that I’ve waited for. If I don’t open it now... I will never know,” she murmurs to herself.

Before opening the letter, she inhales a deep breath, exhaling an adequate amount of air. She gazes at the table across the room, a chair tucked beneath it. “Here we go,” she says, beginning to rip it open.
