Motor Vehicle injury

Posted by Leyitha Achoute in Anatomy and Physiology · Aziz · E on Tuesday, May 30, 2017 at 8:35 am

​-Our video is about motor vehicle accidents, in the video, we covered the statistics behind those crashes, the aftermath of those crashes and how it is a public health issue. Teenagers like ourselves are one of the most affected demographic due to motor vehicle accidents. This topic is very important because it's something that is ongoing and often not looked upon. This video will be a catalyst for this topic to be taken into consideration. 
-We worked in a group of 3 people, including myself. I was responsible for doing the interview with Mr. Jean Mitchell because I am the one who referred him for the position. I was also responsible for the opening of the PSA. Those were my two major assignments in the group, besides that, I work along with my group members in other components to complete the project. 
- I think the interview was well done, the questions were meaningful and Mr.Jean Mitchell answered them well and stayed on topic. I think the video could be better, could have been if we had pictures but we don't because my group members didn't agree with that idea.
-The most meaningful part of completing this project happened during the interview.  Besides all the research we did on statistics behind motor vehicle accidents, the interview provided us with a more human interaction and I valued that.

Leyitha Achoute's Capstone.

Posted by Leyitha Achoute in Capstone on Thursday, May 18, 2017 at 1:35 pm
The values and what I envisioned for my capstone was similar to what I have put in place for the school club I founded; African Root Connection. My capstone presentation is the highlights and objectives of that school club for this year. The reason behind creating this school club is centered around my interest in African studies and I wanted to provide a space for Black students like myself to learn together about our roots.

Colorful Vèvè

PicsArt_1433506068211.jpg

In this year all my pieces were different. This one help me to have a sense of self identity. Because knowing who you really are is sometimes a path that is challenging and need to be impressed. I title this piece Colorful Vèvè because it’s colorful and the lines that I drew were inspired by Vèvè drawing I've seen. While completing this project I learned self acceptance and did some research on my culture. Also I learned new art techniques, for example painting and not go over the lines. The hardest part about competing this project was me not giving up. To continue even when I felt like what I was doing wasn't right. Even when facing some challenges, while completing this piece I had fun and was very excited. I really enjoy painting, so I was a little hype. If I would do this project over again, I would probably draw a real Vèvè and then make it colorful and sparkly.

Describe your project Golden flower. It’s a chalk draw of a yellow flower in a garden. There’s vines and little flowers accompanying the yellow in the middle. What knowledge did you already have about the project before you started? I had the knowledge how to draw flowers and vines. What new skill did you want to learn coming into the project? I learn how to work with messy thing like chalk. It can get on your clothes easily. Did you accomplish this goal? Yes I did accomplished the goal I’ve set in the beginning. How do you know you accomplished the goal? If you didn’t accomplish the goal, why do you think that is? I know I accomplished the goal because I wanted to create something that’s meaningful to me and a presentation of my value and it did. Also I think it look cute and I like it. What other skill(s) did you learn along the way? I learn that when you mess up just try to make something out of it. What are you most proud of in this project? I’m proud of how the piece came out, not perfect but still like it. What would you do differently if you had to do the project over again? I would have not put the black on the background of the flower.

Research: Flower

Posted by Leyitha Achoute in ART ADV - Hertz - b2 on Friday, March 20, 2015 at 8:40 am
I've tried something simple to see how it feel working with soft pastels. There are some pros and cons working with soft pastels. The pros are, you don't really have to use to much force to have a bolder color. The other pro is soft pastel have vibrant colors. There are cons, for example it's very messy because it's like chalk it get on your clothes easily. Another con is it spread are don't really stay on the canvas. So to solve those problem applying a spray to prevent from going everywhere.

My project is a MUG.  I design the MUG with symbol and words that only I can fully understand. I knew what was clay. I knew when you apply water it becomes more manageable. I wanted to learn how to make a MUG. I wanted to learn how to work with clay. I think I accomplished that goal. Firstly because I made a MUG not a perfect one but not an awful one either. I understand clay way better now. I think I accomplished the goal because I was able to make the MUG and learn new things about clay. I learn a lot of skills on how to work with clay. The pinching technique and the coil method. And I also learn when you let the clay to dry you can not add another part to it, because it will shattered. I’m most proud of the fact I didn’t give up even when it was challenging to work with clay. If I had this project over again I would have try to put the handle before the body of the MUG was dried.

I am making a MUG as my quarter 2 project. By doing this I am starting to practice how to work with clay. Also I’m having an idea how to design my MUG. I don’t think I like to work with clay. I have many concerns using clay, for example the clay get stuck to the plater. Since I’m not use to clay so I’m willing to try to work with it and learn new things.

This was more than an assignment, this was one way for me to meditate. Art is meditation. What exactly is art? Art is what I love, it’s music, dance, drawing, painting, cooking, seeing something that’s breathtakingly beautiful in my own pupils. This piece of art like any other arts is beautiful. Meditation for me and maybe you is to find peace within yourself. I did find peace while working on this piece. I can say that because while doing the painting I found myself in a quiet and calm peace of mind. I can also say that it was challenging completing this painting. But I overcame those challenges. I learned many things and I’m please with my project.

"it seem like it was a series of assassinations"

Posted by Leyitha Achoute in African American History - Roy - C on Sunday, May 25, 2014 at 2:21 pm

Abstract:

This interview is between a librarian, Ms. Jean and I. During the time of the Civil rights movement Ms. Jean was between 13-15 yrs old. She lived with her family in Philadelphia in a pretty much segregated neighborhood. Her 3 older sisters was attending high school, Cardinal Dougherty High school were they was some incident between the white and the black students. She talks about Malcolm X and how he was look upon by the adults at the time. She also mention how she saw things as a child at the time.


Research:

One of the Civil Rights Movement’s figure was Malcolm X. He was born May 19,1925 and died February 21. 1965. Malcolm X had a big influence with the Muslimamics. He wasn’t look upon favorable to adults base on what the person I interview said. I can understand that because from my research on Malcolm X, I found that he was applying the opposite of Martin Luther King beliefs. One of Malcolm X famous quote, “ by any means necessary” this encourage African American to use violence in order to have equal rights with white people. He was also involve in a group that used violence in the protest for the Civil Rights movement.

Interview Transcript.

Interviewer: Me (Leyitha Princesse Achoute)

Interviewee: Ms. Jean ( the librarian)

Interview setting: At the free library of philadelphia.

Affiliation with interviewee: She’s a librarian that’s at the library I usually goes to.


( Start of interview)

Me: May I ask what your name please?

Ms. J: My name is Jean

Me: (voice fading in background) You work at the library

Ms.J: I work at the library.

Me: So ma’am what do you recall about the Civil Rights Movement?

Ms.J: Ok umh the one umh memory that comes to mind is after umh Martin Luther King was assassinated umh I think I was in the seven grades. And I was pretty much in a non integrated neighborhood it was pretty much a white neighborhood that I grew up in. Umh and then there was a period where they were some unrasted (???) seem like people were upset and I do remember maybe an occasion my sisters were in high school so they were in a more integrated school and they were problems between the white and black students. … It didn’t seem to me, it was minor problems. I mean they might have been the occasion where they talk about rocks got throwing at the bus or that kind of thing. But it seem to me that they didn’t feel afraid and they and I never feel afraid. It seem like my parents and the adults in my life were very scared. But as it , I didn’t see it as a...uhm as a scary time but it seems like the adults made it seem more serious.

Me: Do you remember about what school your sisters went?

Ms. J: It was Cardinal Dougherty High school it was, it’s close now but it umh it was like at second and Olney.

Me: ( fading in the background) Is in Pennsylvania

Ms.J: Yes it was in Philadelphia

Me: Do you recall any big events that might put umh, any big events that happened?

Ms.J:  I don’t that’s what I mean I just remember, I just remember it seem like it was a series of assassinations it was umh John F. Kennedy, than it was his brother and I know that they were somehow involved in the Civil Rights Movement but as a child I didn’t realized the significance of umh what they were doing  and how that was effecting in the Civil Right Movement. Umh and I do remember with like Martin Luther King he seem like a positive figure and uhm again it was like a tragedy when he was assassinated. But then I do remember than I think Malcolm X was also assassinated around the time or he was killed not sure but that seem more he didn’t seem to be looked upon as favorably uhm by the adults uhm he didn’t seem to be as much of a moder say as like John (pres. John F. Kennedy), and Robert (pres. John F. Kennedy’s brother) and Martin ( Martin Luther King) like they seem like they were kinda moders (???) for the cause were as with Malcolm X although I think he was also part of the Civil rights movement but probably like a more radical way but that didn’t seem to be as much of a tragedy when that happened.

Me: Why did you think Malcolm X wasn’t that wasn’t favorable to the adults?

Ms.J:  I didn’t know as a child but as an adult uhm when I read his autobiography and I know that the umh had umh started out a umh he broke the law and he was in prison for a time and that’s actually when he found his religion and umh but I think because he was he was probably associated with with  umh radical probably a more radical group and probably the fact with the muslim religion they probably were uncomfortable with that because I was raised Catholic.

(Movement in the background)

Me: Thank you for your time, thank you very much.

Artistic Statement, why I choose this sculpture? I choose this frame because it represent me. It represent me because the frame itself represent the frame of my life. The frame is made out of wood, it’s simple but modern. The passage inside of the frame, which is related to me. “ Cherish yesterday Live today Dream tomorrow.’’ This quote is important because everyone can try to relate to this quote.
