For this final artifact we wanted to set the table as we had it on the real stage outside. We added this larger poster and several soldiers around to create more impact with this image since it was the theme of our project. It was very interesting to see and share this in the class and I feel that the result was very successful. This project allowed us to see it in different ways, we could have the reaction and answers of unknown people and also show it in a closed place and create our own space which allowed us to explore and play with creativity.

For this demonstration of our project in a public place, we decided to do it in a didactic way, at the same time obtaining results from a survey based on our phrase. For this we decided to ask people if they thought there was more panic in an eclipse or more trauma in a war. When the person answered, we put a little soldier next to his answer and gave him a flyer with our main image. Choosing the place, setup and the way to approach people at the beginning was not so easy but it was something that we got better at and which we had fun doing. Likewise, we also realized how technically all the people voted that there is more trauma in a war since it is something that is experienced more often and so on, which was very interesting to analyze.

For this process, the first thing we did was print everything that same day that the idea was approved. Then all together we began to put all the materials together. We cut the phrases and symbols since we decided to make the project more didactic. I feel that we have done a great team job since we have all helped each other and done the same amount of classes to make it equal and exactly which has made it a very good experience.

Our final proposal was to do this with the canvas and create this artword but after talking about it with the professors and doing more brainstorming with the different ideas, also thinking about how we were going to present it in a public place and the different things that could be done with this we decided change it and use the one we had for the flyers as the main image.

New:

Based on our phrase we thought about making an artwork that would demonstrate and highlight the words we chose but in a visual way. For this we include the eclipse, the war and among them showing panic or that feeling of confusion which are things that can be felt in these two scenarios. For this we saw the option of using different canvases or materials and putting them together in different pieces, creating this complete image.

With my group we decided to first put this phrase that we created on the STEM side of the campus. Since that day was the eclipse we planned to put it near the Stocker Astroscience Center which contains several tools such as the planetarium and telescopes that connect with our phrase. Then we wanted to see the reaction of some people when seeing or reading this phrase and we decided to capture some of them. It was a good experience to see the impact that a phrase can have because even if it didn't make much sense when you read it, this are words that connect in several ways.

After seeing all the articles and words that my classmates and I had chosen, we decided to create the phrase "There is panic in an eclipse and trauma in a war." The 4 words from the 4 articles are panic, eclipse, trauma, and war, and although they are words that are in different topics, they can have things in common and generate a feeling like panic and trauma. Based on this I created 5 memes that related or demonstrate something with this phrase.

There is panic in an eclipse and trauma in a war.

I decided to use the word panic since, as seen in my article, it was a key word that defined part of the article. In these types of situations the word panic is very representative since it is a common feeling in a scenario like this where people fear for their lives. It is a very important word that stands out and gives a lot of importance to this topic, which is why I chose it.

I saw different articles for this project and this was the one that caught my attention the most since it was recent and in an area where I live where I could see an inside look at the topic. This is a problem seen in many parts of the world and is considered common in the United States. It was interesting to read all the different parts of this escenario. The reaction or response of the police, the people and many more were what interested me the most.

RACE:

I had a lot of fun throughout the entire process of this project. Creating my own flag was a great experience since I really like painting and I liked inventing something on a large scale. Each symbol and detail of my flag has something based on me and I was very satisfied with the result. Doing the race was also a new experience and it was fun. With Megan we went to a park with a location that suited both of us and although she won, it was a nice experience in which each of us was carrying her own flag, thus carrying something of our own.

For this flag I am planning on adding different subjects that represent me. My flag is going to be yellow since it is my favorite color, in the center is going to have this sun and flower to make the sunflower. Sunflowers are my family favorite flower and it is special for us that is why I want to use it as my symbol. In the corners I will put some blue and red to kind of have smaller flags of my country since I am Colombian.
