Proyecto De LA Cocina
In this project, my partner Cady Bright and I made a video tutorial on how to make Churros. (To see her Digital Portfolio, click here). Before we filmed the tutorial, we wrote a Spanish recipe and script in the command form of Spanish (see below) based off of the website RecipeTinEats. After we did this, we filmed our video based off of the script, giving instructions on how to make the churros while briefly explaining their origin and popularity in the US. Finally, Cady and I edited and posted the video on Youtube (also see below).
Mi Frida Proyecto
The purpose of this project was to learn about and understand the life of Frida Kahlo through a short story, a movie, and research. Frida Kahlo was a famous Mexican painter who was at the height of her fame in the 40's and 50's. Currently, she is still very renowned for her artwork.
After we learned about Frida's life, we chose to write and create an art piece on someone important to us. I chose to do my project on Malcolm X, a civil rights activist. I chose to center my project around Malcolm X after I finished The Autobiography of Malcolm X. This book was so interesting and influential to my way of life and thinking that I have come to consider Malcolm X a very important person in history and in my life.
I think that my art piece turned out very well. I chose to create a collage which consisted of Malcolm X's face, an image of the place where he was assassinated, an image of a library, the sign of Islam, and a famous quote of his.
If I were to do this piece over again, I would probably paint it. The reason I chose to do a collage was because I did not know if I would have enough time to do anything else. I think painting would take more effort and hard work.
