Hello and welcome back to Rocio’s Story. Today we’re going to talk about working on my final product, for capstone.

For my final product I decided to do a ted talk. I decided to do this because I thought it would work best, because i’m trying to prove a point and because it was my favorite one out of the 3 choices. First I wrote my script. Writing m script was hard for me because I had to be able to answer all of my questions, without saying this is my SQ or this is my MIQ. I also struggled with transitioning from each question to another question. In my script I said one of my SQ and then answered it. For example this is is me answering one of my SQ, in my script, “Why do graffiti artist paint graffiti? The main reason they paint graffiti is to share their voices. Graffiti artists need somewhere to let out their feelings, just like every artist. Graffiti artists also show their personality through their tag. A tag is a graffiti artist’s signature, it is personalized for the graffiti artist. A tag is used to help a graffiti artist stay anonymous and it is used as a signature. In all, graffiti artists show who they are through their art.” I did this for all of SQ, but for my MIQ I kept the idea of it throughout my whole presentation. After my script was done I had to show it to Mrs Robert. She changed somethings. Then I printed it.

After my script was printed I had to start making my slides and memorizing my script. First I made my slides because it would help me memorize because the pictures would tell me what I was talking about, on that slide. Memorizing my script wasn’t hard for me. I worked on my script for so long that most of the parts I kinda knew. For the parts I didn’t I read it 3 times out loud and then I tried to say it without my script. that’s how I memorized most of my script. After I had most of my script memorized and my slides done I started preforming in front of some people. I preformed in front of a lot of my friends and Gabi.

I think i’m in good shape for capstone and that i will do very well on my presentation.

Hello and welcome to Rocio’s Story. Today we’re going to talk about my capstone site visit.

For my site visit I went to the Bushwick graffiti neighborhood. I went to my site visit on 5/26/19. I was very excited for my site visit, but also I kinda didn’t want to go because it was an hour away (in the city). When I got to the Bushwick neighborhood, my dad and I couldn’t find the graffiti. A person that was there asked if we needed help, so my dad asked him where all the graffiti was.

When we finally found the graffiti I liked some a lot and thought they were done very well. I honestly didn’t understand how graffiti artist could have made that. One that I liked a lot were like purple pumas. Here’s a picture.

I liked this one a lot because I thought it was really good and precise. One thing I was wondering is how could the graffiti artist do this so quickly, but so precise. I noticed that the graffiti artist had to work around the window, but still made it look realistic.

Another graffiti piece I really liked was like green with blue circles. It’s hard to explain. Here’s a picture.

I liked this one a lot because it was abstract. You don’t usually see abstract graffiti, which made in unique. I also liked this one because of the design. I thought the design was very interesting and very cool.

My site visit added to my learning by letting me see graffiti in person. It also added to my learning by showing me examples of things I was reading in articles, like styles of graffiti and tags. My site visit helped me kinda answer my sub question: What are the pros and Cons of graffiti. It helped me answer it cause I got to see the good and bad graffiti.
