Jade Harris, Saphira Paul-Fils, Hadja Diallo Capstone Project

Posted by Jade Harris in Senior Capstone · Schaar · ILP/TFI/CAP on Friday, May 18, 2018 at 9:33 am

What is beauty? We based our capstone project on beauty because it is such a powerful word in today's generation. There are many definitions of beauty, but people still have the mindset that beauty is based upon physical appearance i.e. eurocentric beauty standards and not who you are as person. We wanted to give a visual representation of what beauty means. We interviewed 5 people from different countries from Science leadership Academy at Beeber to show the beauty standards around the world. We wanted to learn what the definition of beauty meant in different countries, and how people from different countries expressed beauty and what made them feel beautiful.  We came up with 5 questions about beauty to ask. These questions were, “Where are you from?, What’s your definition of beauty? What’s your countries idea of beauty? What is the difference between your country’s beauty and America’s? Which standard of beauty do you find yourself conforming to?” We then asked them to bring clothing or jewelry that defined beauty from their country. To broaden our point of view, we asked two gentlemen to give their perspective on beauty. Given the fact that beauty isn’t just within a person, it can also be a place or thing, we also explored the Art Museum of Philadelphia. Each one of the five people say the word Beauty in their language. For the final project, we created a video that we wanted to share with the world.

Queren Villegas Capstone/ Making Music

Posted by Queren Villegas in Senior Capstone · Schaar · ILP/TFI/CAP on Thursday, May 17, 2018 at 8:07 pm

My passion for the art of music has always been a part of me, however, it was not until I was fourteen that I truly composed my first lyrics and kept writing up to now. This year I really wanted to challenge myself and combine skills I have and are not necessarily my forte in the area of music. Although singing and writing lyrics have always been a thing of my own, composing an instrumental is not easy for me. It took me making three soundtracks before coming to the one that felt right. However, the feeling of producing my own sound was beyond words. Having to put so much effort, along so much frustration it was a proud day.
The lyrics themselves changed too as recording took multiple days. I had my area set up in which I worked. A small microphone, my laptop open and my lyrics on paper taped to my desk. It was my safe place, in which I spent hours and hours on end. Completing the song was a tough one, but definitely worth. Every hour, every minute was me doing something I love. Seeing the proud face of those close to me when they heard it made me blush a pink stronger than that of a strawberry. Making a song all on my own has been a vision of mine since middle school and finally accepting that I am good at what I do is forever a process I will never forget and cherish
