My Project
For my project. I wanted to draw portraits of people from
Kalama heights. I wanted to impact the community somehow
and also impact people’s lives.
Driving Question
Can I connect with people on a deeper level with my art?
I chose this to be my driving question because I feel like these
days with social media it can be hard to really connect with
people. Though I’ve noticed people connect on such a deeper
level when you can relate to one another’s art. Whether that art
me cooking, drawing, painting, singing, music. So I wanted to
see if my project can make me able to connect with the
participants in this project better.
People Involved
When I first started this project I met with a person who
worked at Kalama heights named Karen. She is the director of
activities over there so she’s who I pitched my idea to. She
loved my idea from the minute I proposed it and from there I
started to work on making posters.
Persuasive Essay
My primary claim in my persuasive essay is that we as people;
teenagers especially, spend too much time on their phones. I
spoke about cell phone addiction and how the youth today have
trouble connecting with each other because of it.
I’d also thank my co-workers Ben and Dawn for helping me out
and agreeing to participate in my project
