This source gave statistical information about domestic abuse against women in America. I took some of this information and included this in my brochure. I found this source useful because I wanted to have some statistics on domestic violence against women in America. Most brochures I’ve read that make people aware about an issue give statistical information. One limitation to this source is these statistics were taken in 2011. I would have preferred something more recent.

This source provides information about how to make cake pops. This source is helping me by I’m learning how to make one of the items I’m selling to fundraise for my capstone. I found this source useful because it’s helping me learn how to create cake pops in four easy steps. Also, this source shows how affordable making cake pops are, which is helpful because they won’t cost me too much to make them and sell them. I can gain great profit from selling cake pops for my capstone. One limitation of this source is it didn’t show where I can purchase the chocolate I need for the cake pops.

This source was a picture I got from online to put in my brochure. This source added some intense imagery to my brochure helping me portray my message to my community. I think my brochure looks more appealing with this picture. This image gave my brochure more of a personal touch. The only limitation to this source is I don’t know what country this picture comes from, but it’s not from America because the website is in another language.

"Food Fundraisers - Profitable Fundraising Ideas." Rewarding Fundraising Ideas. N.p., n.d. Web. 06 Feb. 2017. <http://www.rewarding-fundraising-ideas.com/food-fundraisers.html>.

This source provides me information on numerous fundraising ideas. The ideas presented in this source can help he get to the goal of my capstone faster, which is a gift of $300 to the Woman's Against Abuse. Different ideas for fundraising will help me keep my fundraising fun and profitable. I don’t want to continue to sell the same items to fundraise all the time because people won’t buy them. One limitation of this source is some of the ideas are too expensive.  

"Help for Abused and Battered Women." Help for Abused and Battered Women: Protecting Yourself and Escaping from Domestic Violence. N.p., n.d. Web. 07 Feb. 2017. <https://www.helpguide.org/articles/abuse/help-for-abused-and-battered-women.htm>.

This source topped off all my information in my brochure about the next steps in getting away from abusers. Also, it presented information on the dos and don’ts for forming an escape plan. Also, what to say and what not to say to someone getting abused, so they won’t over react. This source helped me realize the biggest mistake people make being friends of the victims of domestic violence is judging them or making them make instant decisions. I wanted to make sure this information was presented because it’s a common mistake made. The only limitation to this source is the source isn’t very recent.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. N.d. United Nations. Web. 06 Feb. 2017. <https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/bf/d4/e9/bfd4e98d0423a06554fb4958c760eab0.jpg >.

This source was another image I got to put in my brochure. It says stop domestic violence against women on a hand, which is the direct message I want to present in my brochure. I should have took picture myself, but I might take my own photography for my presentation. I found this source useful in supporting the information in my brochure.

"Statistics." Statistics. N.p., n.d. Web. 06 Feb. 2017. <http://ncadv.org/learn-more/statistics>.

This source also, added to the statistical information surrounding domestic violence against women. I discovered the percentages of women that are based is very high and people don’t realize it. This information will give my brochure more purpose and add intensity to getting the message across that domestic violence is a serious issue in society that is constantly ignored. One limitation to this source is I’m not sure even this information is very recent or has some bias in it.

This source provides me information on the signs of early domestic violence against women. This source helped me provide some of the information presented in my brochure. Also, the article discusses an unhealthy and healthy relationship. I used some this information to inform people that are unaware about domestic violence against women to make them aware. One limitation to this source is it doesn’t give information on what to do if you're the friend if someone being abused.  

Women, New Hope for. "Abuser Tricks." New Hope for Women. N.p., n.d. Web. 06 Feb. 2017. <http://www.newhopeforwomen.org/abuser-tricks>.

This source gave me information on the tricky character presented from abusers. Many people don’t notice an abuser is an actual abuser early until an incident happens. This source gives an inside to victims or people that want to know about the early signs of domestic abusers. This source helped me inform people in my brochure about to catch their abuser early. The only limitation to this source are some of the characteristics they listed of the early signs of an abuser are repeated in just different ways.

"Women Against Abuse." Help Me | Women Against Abuse. N.p., n.d. Web. 06 Feb. 2017. <http://www.womenagainstabuse.org/get-help/help-me>.

This source gave me information on how I should go about the goal for my capstone. I’m giving $300 to the organization on this website. I’m also  getting hotline cards from this website for women to call if they want to get away from their abuser. I got information about what a women should do if she is trying to plan an escape from their abuser to put inside of my brochure. One limitation to this source is I still haven’t received hotline cards and it doesn't give much statistical information.

Before I was given, this project I never knew that planting actual food was possible to do indoors. From all the Ted Talks we watched in class, I realized aeroponic gardening could be a revolution for our society. This could help people deal with the harsh effects of climate change. Tower gardening in class was so much easier and cleaner than gardening outside. Our plants started to show results within a day even though our peppers haven’t grown yet. The only downfall with Tower Gardening is affording the equipment. It’s more feasible for people to afford materials to garden outside than all the materials it takes to tower garden. Tower garden has become a new option for gardening because of the issue of sustainability in the environment. Lately, because of changing climate patterns plants have not been able to grow in sustainable environments. The continuation of burning fossil fuels have contributed to making our environment unsustainable.

Reflection

This video was created to inform Philadelphians about the CSX Crude Oil Trains that pass through Philadelphia. I chose this topic because many Philadelphians like myself were naive that trains transporting oil pass through our city. There has been no plan for evacuation created in case an explosion happens. These trains go past the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, North Philadelphia, and Center City where many people live. The fumes these trains leave behind makes our environment worse than it already is. I think all residents should be aware of what passes through their neighborhoods that could potentially harm them.

1. Describe your project
   My project was about the exploration of doodle art. Doodle Art gives a carefree and outgoing vide. IT’s a very random art that does not require a lot of thinking.
   
   

2. What knowledge did you already have about the project before you started?
   The knowledge I already had about the project before I started was I experienced with doodle art multiple times as a child and didn’t even realize it. Again, dodle do not require a lot of thoguht. It requires a moment of creativity. I never their was an actual label for this art until I researched this project and one my peers created a project about it.
   
   
   

3. What new skill did you want to learn coming into the project?
   The new skill I wanted to learn coming into the project was learning how to draw freehand instead of looking up pictures and drawing them. I wanted to learn how to just throw my ideas into my hand.
   
   
   

4. Did you accomplish this goal?
   I did accomplish this goal because I made things at random on my project. I din’t look up too many ideas from the internet. I just through my ideas on paper

5. How do you know you accomplished the goal? If you didn’t accomplish the goal, why do you think that is?

. I  finished a  well thought out demonstration of what doodle art is. I  feel like I put my all into the project and I turned the project in before the deadline.

6. What other skill(s) did you learn along the way?
   I learned how to work with the medium markers more, outlining, and experimenting with colors.
   
   
   

7. What are you most proud of in this project?

I’m most proud of how i got this project done quickly and still felt proud of it.

8. What would you do differently if you had to do the project over again?

Artist Statement

As an artist, I create art to demonstrate the meaning of self expression and freedom. I hope to achieve the gift of attracting someone to explore that art world, who doesn’t like art. My goal when creating art is to do something out of usual or express creativity. I started off thinking art was just for people who loved to draw, but art is for anyone who loves to create the unexpected like me!

Part of my process before I begin any of my art is to think about what I like and to research any type of art that fits this category. The techniques I utilize is if the art form matches a part of my identity.  

My current piece I’ve just created is “Alicia Keys Pop Art.” I created the theme of the piece by I like Alicia Keys and how pop art favors a lot of famous people. I am attempting to show how Alicia Keys can be n pop art too without using a computer program system.I used shading with various color pencils to sharpen her features. I used markers to make certain parts of stick out. I chose to sketch the picture of her from her album cover “As I Am.” The color of her lips shows how fierce she is. I wanted to make the features and colors of her face dramatic.

As an artist, I try to just gather all my current emotions into a funky idea for an art piece.

Reflection

My project was involving the concept of pop art. When I researched pop art I found that many famous people are involved in it. I chose one of my favorite R&B artist Alicia Keys to do my pop art on. I chose a picture from her “As I Am” album cover.

The knowledge I have already have about the project before I started was pop art was sort of vintage and colored oddly. Also, pop art was in a lot of comic books. Pop art targets the face of a person more than the body.

I wanted to acquire skills on shading, outlining, create all different types of pop art, and creating sketches of people.

I did accomplish this goal.

I know I accomplished this goal because I shaded, outlined, and created a great sketch of a person.  

Other skills I learned along the way was creating realistic eyes.

I’m most proud of how I actually sketched a real life person because it was hard for me throughout the project.

My current piece I’ve just created is “Fauvism and Natural Hair.” I created the theme of the piece by taking my love for watching natural hair videos on YouTube and how the art form of fauvism is so colorful. I am attempting to show how beautiful and free spirited women with natural hair all. I used various colors because fauvism is known for being full of vivid colors. I made a woman with natural curly hair on one side of my canvas and straight hair on the other. The colors also showed how fierce women with natural hair are.

Abstract:

In this interview, Barbara Grant reflects on her experience growing up as a young, female African American in Philadelphia, PA. She discusses how she suffered with racial discrimination all her childhood years living in a predominantly white neighborhood, like high school and going to public places with her parents. Barbara Grant speaks on protest and sit ins she participated in during the 1960s in Philadelphia.  She talks about famous Civil Rights Leaders and their impact on the black community. Grant also expresses her fear as a child of White Supremacy. Lastly, she presents the concept of how racism is still present in today’s time, but is just concealed.  

Research:

During the Civil Rights Movement, the White Supremacy was very present. The White Supremacy, were groups that believed they were superior to other racial backgrounds and went to violent measures to keep themselves superior. White Supremacy was also known as white power. When the Civil Rights Movement was taking place civil rights activist and segregationist were head to head like never before. Many whites thought the City Councils weren’t doing enough to keep segregation, so they took it into their own hands. In the beginning of 1963, a group by the name of Ku Klux Klan (KKK) came into play. Their goal was to keep whites in charge and to terrorize black people with violence.  The KKK harmed anyone who was black or was trying to stop segregation. The KKK used all methods of violence to enforce their authority in the South like lynchings, tar-and- feathering, and rapes. One example, of their violent acts was the bombing at 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham,  Alabama where four young girls were killed.

Transcript

Interview with BARBARA GRANT 14 MAY 2014 5:00 p.m.

Place: At Barbara Grant’s Home

Interviewer: Moesha Grant (MG)

Interviewee: Barbara Grant Age (BG), 56

MG: Today is May 14, 2014 and it is 5:00 p.m. I am interviewing Barbara Grant. So, Barbara. . . . What do you remember from your childhood between the time period of when you were born till’ 1965? What was going on during that time?

BG: Umm…. I was born in 1958 in the City of Philadelphia. Umm.. when I was born the Civil Rights Movement was going on equal rights. Umm.. when  I really could understand was in the period of 1964. In the period of 1964,my parents were telling me different places we couldn’t go why there were so much hatred. And I remember seeing marches from to Washington on the TV why they were protesting because we deserved equal rights. I remember umm.. Rosa Park umm.. sitting.

MG: What do you remember about Rosa Parks and the other leaders that were in the Civil Rights Movement?

BG: I remember when they said told Rosa Parks that she couldn’t sit in front of the bus and I asked my parents that’s not fair. Somebody is tired they should be able to sit where they want to sit, but they said because of the separation between white and black. Umm.. there were places  umm. What I remember about her when she came on the bus and protest. And I thought that wasn’t fair that she should have been able to sit where she want to sit, but understanding that…. white people had to sit in front. They came first and blacks in the back. And it’s just like they didn’t want us to umm.. eat in the same restaurants as white people. Umm.. we had to take the back entrance going places. Umm.. I also, remember umm...  Martin Luther King when he started going, walking to Washington and when they were fighting for equal rights. And when he was talking about you know that we should all be equal as one and the dream he had of one day umm.. we would all be equal. Umm…..Rosa

MG: Did you think whites considered themselves better than blacks during that time?

BG: Yes I do, umm….. yes they did. They considered they were better than us. More educated, had more job opportunities than we had. We were always the last the way at everything. You know getting jobs umm… where everybody like wasn’t equal and ways. The way they thought, they thought they were better than any other race. And as we go into 1965, it started to go from, Martin Luther King umm.. marched for peace. They were violent. They became violent people. Umm.. putting hoses on us, umm..  where they didn’t want us. The  Ku Klux Klan showing the hanging of us. The different umm.. things they would do to us if we came into their neighborhoods and the burning down of the houses and stuff. That frightened me because I thought maybe that would… I didn’t know if it was going on in Philadelphia or not. I know it was going on in the South because my parents both come from the South. My mother especially and especially it was going on near South Carolina. Umm..

MG: Did you think that, that era needed to happen in order for blacks to come up in society of how they are now?

BG: Yes, because that made us umm… better people we strived for more things. Umm.. to prove our point that we were not ignorant people because whites always said that we were ignorant people and we needed to go back to Africa. We didn’t.. all of us didn’t come from Africa. Africa maybe our heritage, but I was not born in Africa, so a white person telling me to go to Africa. Go back to Africa is not where I was born. Umm... I was born in the United States, so I didn’t think that... that was right. But as of now seeing where things have gone we have come a long ways. In which, that movement happened to push us. Even though, today in society we still have prejudice. We still have White American Corporation, but there we are still striving. We still need our young people to strive more to head off where we started a path, so Martin Luther King’s Dream has not died it’s still going forward.

MG: Have you had any experiences like you may not remember the Civil Rights Era, but in general of racism with discrimination or anything like that?

BG: Yes, umm.. I have umm.. We moved to a predominantly  white neighborhood in 1969, which my father wanted me to have a better education.  We moved to Montgomery County and which it was like 10% Black and 90% White. So umm... we had sit ins because they wanted to keep us separated from each other. They really didn’t want us in their schools or to ride their school buses, so even though it was now 1969 and I was going to high school it was... still hard during racial.. And I have experienced with sit ins, where we protested.  You know against that we should be treated. You know it was even in the lunchrooms. Umm… they didn’t like umm.. going, you know getting the same trays. You know calling us “niggers.” At one time, we did get into a fight, which we didn’t like the “n- word.”  Even to society today, they still use the “n-word” and umm... without the protest and Martin Luther King and all the other great ones that walked. That did the march and protested and fought for our rights. I don’t think black people would be where they’re at today, so were still continue on fighting.        

MG: So, do you remember… the Black Panthers during that time?

BG: Yes, I do.

MG: What do you know about them?

BG: Umm... they were umm.. motivated. Like they as I can remember they were a group of people that had they own set of rules. Umm... they wanted to take over and they became the Islamic umm… Movement. So, the Black Panthers were like a group of people that were against a lot of things that Martin Luther King was saying. They figured that we could get things better done with violence and still Martin Luther King was walking  for nonviolence. So, they fought against that you know. They figured that they can do things a lot better.

MG: So, do you think racism is still present in today’s era and time?

BG: Yes, I do(2x), They still have places in the South where  umm..black people can’t drink from water fountains or black people can’t sit. It’s more umm… in today’s society. They try to hide it, but it’s still there. It’s even in our basketball courts umm... You know it’s still here in America… still racial going on. Even  predominant whites are now mixed with blacks, but they still say that they should be with their own race and black women still say that you know that black men should be with their race. But it seems to have a change.

MG: Do you think that change was for the better?

BG: Somewhat, umm… I still think that it puts a gap between blacks and whites, where I think that umm.. As a society today, that when the basketball players, football players, etc. start making money they think that they should have a white woman in their life, instead of a black woman. I don’t think that’s fair because… we are equal. There’s no because you're making money now doesn’t mean that oh.. you can’t have a black wife you know. So, society.. they think that society looks at them better by them making money and have a white woman, instead of a black woman. You know, so that’s I don’t think that that’s right.   

MG: Thank you I’ve appreciated interviewing you.

BG: Thank you very much!

MG: I love your input!  

We chose to make this  sculpture because it represents an item in our sense of style. Jada and I both like the Chuck Taylor Brand because it represents us growing up and comfort. Chuck Taylors often remind us of the summer activities we often did when we were young. Adding the lights to the shoe shows how we want to grow out of old things and make our mark on the world. Also, we chose this sculpture because adding lights is easier than any other object we thought of with the holes on the side of the shoe.
