Capstone #2- Choosing a Main Inquiry Question and Sub Questions
Hello and Welcome back to Rocio’s Story. Today we’re going to talk about how I chose my main inquiry question and sub questions, for Capstone.
When I chose graffiti as my topic, I knew I wanted to study something on if graffiti is art? Is it considered art? Why or why not?,. The process of choosing my main inquiry question was hard. It was hard because I didn’t know what to write. I watched some videos that helped me get my mind going. My top 3 sub questions were Explain is graffiti is really considered art?, Explain laws for graffiti? and How has the style of graffiti changed over time?. John looked at my questions and we re-wrote my questions, to make them better. My final question was: Is Graffiti considered a form of art? Why or Why not?
To write my sub questions I also watched some videos to help me get my mind going. The sub questions were harder than the main inquiry question, to write. I think it was hard to write the sub questions for me because they had to help you answer your main inquiry question. For 1 of my sub questions I knew I wanted to do, how is art defined? My sub questions are, How is art defined?, Why do graffiti artist paint graffiti?, If graffiti is considered vandalism, can it still be considered art?, How do laws affect what people think of graffiti? and What are the pros and cons of graffiti?.
