Fae and Me is a comic about a transgender man named Eddy trying to escape the clutches of his abusive ex girlfriend. I made all of the comic pages in photoshop, and hope to continue it so it looks more like the first and last slides and less of the fifth. It is currently 46 pages long, and I am not even finished with the plot! 

Our video is a collection of various interviews, conducted by us, of students and faculty members answering personal questions about human rights. This process consisted of numerous steps. The first step was coming up with a number of thought provoking questions that challenged the interviewee to personally reflect on them. Next, we came up with a diverse list of students and faculty that we thought would have interesting perspectives to present in the video. After planning a meeting time in the video production lab, we carefully set up the video camera, microphone, background, and lighting in a way that created the specific tone that we wished to evoke in our video. After this, we filmed the interviews, downloaded them to an editing software, picked the best answers to each question, and edited the video. Finally, we added the component of our project that makes it innovative and more interesting than a regular documentary: the delivery. This video can be presented using a regular screening format or our new, creative method of streaming. This method consists of two screens streaming the video, one displaying the different scenes around our school, and the other showing interviews. By presenting our video in this format, it allows the viewer to become more engaged in the content by forcing their brain to actively adjust its attention to various points of focus. Therefore, the viewer will be able to deeply absorb and process the information discussed. We are hoping that our video generates an empathetic response from the viewers and gives them a better understanding of the importance of human rights and social equality in our community as a whole. 

Black Sheep is an art installation that shows different people's perspective on Generation Z (those born from the late-1990s to mid 2000s). When preparing for the project, I began to reflect on my own views of the generation to come up with my concept. I was inspired by the philosophy of artist Robert Rauschenberg, who aimed to create cohesive art pieces with the most outrageous components. This made me think of the "black sheep" idiom. The idea of the black sheep used to be used as an insult; used to describe an outcast of the group or the one who doesn't belong. However, this idea of being different and standing out has evolved over the past decade or so, and has become somewhat of a goal to my generation. Everyone strives to be unique. To some this could be seen as a positive evolution. Yet, based on Rauschenberg's philosophy, if everyone in a group is trying to stand out, once outstanding characteristics become diluted.  With this dual view idea, I was inspired to create a piece that showed two opposing views of Gen Z simultaneously. 

I started brainstorming concepts  for the actual piece. I first looked into creating a dual projection screen.  However, this idea didn't seem to work. So, I went back to the drawing board. After much thinking, the second idea that came to mind was, oddly, inspired by cereal boxes. I remembered, from the early 2000s, how cereal companies  would occasionally print red reveal mazes, messages,  and puzzles on the back and sides of their product boxes, then seal a "magical reveal lens" inside the packaging to reveal hidden objects. I began researching red reveal messages, and began studying additive and subtractive light theory to create this effect. With this knowledge, I was able to figure out the technical side of my project. 

After I had this idea, I started designing the physical pieces of my project. I was greatly inspired by the The Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band  (1967)  album. I felt both the cover and the music  contributed to the message I was trying to get across, and I decided to base my visual components off of the album's cover. 

After I had these components, I attempted to piece them together. I decided to create the dual view in my piece by surveying the teachers and students of the high school, and compare and contrast the data I collected. Then, I would paste the pairs of messages in the head of each singular sheep, and give the viewers a red or blue reveal  lens to see the two different views separately.  I did not have time to build the entire piece, but I created a loose sketch of what it will look like when I continue this project in the future. For presentation day, I created an example for the message reveal effect, and the reveal glasses with the red and blue reveal lenses.
