Hello! In this class called Global Peace. We have been talking about activism, and ways we are able to better our community! So for this Action Project, we were given the opportunity to make that happen by selecting an issue we have noticed around our city, and figure out a way we are able to fix it. I chose to tackle the conflict of gentrification.

Over this unit of Population, we have been learning about the interactions and relationships organisms grow over time to survive or if they don't benefit depending on different interactions with different organisms. There's a lot of different kind of interactions that organisms develop such as, amensalism, commensalism, predator, mutualism, neutralism, competition, and parasitism but for this action project, we are looking at how humans affect a certain type of organism. For this action project, I chose the Titi Monkey and how human might affect their species as a whole. I will be looking at the interactions humans and the Titi Monkeys have with one another, and the population of the organisms over these past years. SR.TitiMonkeys.2018 I will be telling you facts about the organisms and showing you how humans affect the Titi Monkeys and if they changed over time because of the human interactions with them or if they don't even have an effect in them. When finding the p...
For this independent study, I was able to spend some time on something that I’ve been wanting to do for the longest time, which is being able to finally sell my art. My first goal was to be able to share my art and work as a young artist, which is what I would usually see artists do a lot on social media, online shops, etc. But as I was able to finally start with an art shop business. I wanted it not to be only me just selling my artwork. When going into this I hadn’t even thought about that aspect, and opinions on doing something like this.

I want to be able to share my work that will inspire creators of all ages to start creating! I personally consider the word creator as a totally diverse and universal term that everyone has the ...
In this independent study, I chose to grasp my focus on different art professions that I was interested in. I decided to this because I have always loved art, and want to choose one of these professions as a career. As I have gotten older I noticed that I don’t exactly know about the different art careers that are out there, so that is what I have been doing for this independent study. At first, I started to take a look at different careers that involve art to get a better understanding of what I am actually into, and what I want to focus on. Throughout this independent study, my goal was to pick a profession that I wanted to focus on since I didn’t really know what I was specifically interested in. My plan was that when I picked the professions I wanted I would speak to different people who are in that field. Throughout, this independent study it was actually very difficult to find working artists who were willing to speak to me about what they do. As I started to take a look at ...
