November Post

Well this month there was this Korean show at the gallery. It was really interesting because the woman in the picture actually was dancing to this music that was being played by a guitarist but it was just a guitarist. It was really interesting, sadly it didn't really pull a lot of people that we wanted but we did sell pieces. Plus the food was very interesting. The good thing about this show we didn't have to clean as much as we usually do.

Blog 9 EQ

2.  
 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
- Well this EQ doesn't really hit the criteria because you are suppose to explain different factors from the research and there is multiple ways to lose weight.

 b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
- The wording is well for this EQ it is missing some details. For instance, what kind of crime investigation? Murder? Robbery? Kidnapping? Also depends on the area to like LA. This is okay it just needs to be more specific on its actually focusing on.

 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
-This EQ is well worded its on point but it needs to expand more. I feel like this topic wouldn't have enough research and possibly to add more to the question and to get more answers.

 d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
- The question is to specific, possibly loses more information than actually gaining it

3.  Based on your review of the rule of 3 and your experience with assessing four EQs, please write another draft EQ for your senior project.

October posts


 Well this past month SPACE had this big opening event for Jon Measures and another photographer he was very low key about him self you can say. But the whole place was a success a lot of people came in the gallery and the music was great. People had a good time but it was difficult to handle especially when people wanted something to drink and clean up after them but either way a lot of Jon Measures pieces was sold.

This picture is from the other photographer from the backspace  area and the backspace had music artists and this artists was from the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs 

 This was crowd right when it opened and so you can say it was hand full but it was fun and I had the chance to meet the photographers and new people.

Blog 8 Research and Working EQ

1.  What is your working EQ?
- What is the best way to organize and advertise a photographer in an art gallery?

2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format.  Examples:

- The best way to organize and advertise a photographer in an art gallery is by promoting and sharing information about the photographer in a main event.
- Encourage the audience to see the event and have pan flits ready for them and curate everything before hand to make everything easier. 

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?
-This book my mentor let me borrow, she said it helped her with her job on running the gallery because she didn't major in art management. It explains who runs what and what kind of workers you need in an art gallery and how to set up the place when a huge event comes up or when a new artist comes in town.
4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

-My mentor is Christina Franco and she is the owner of art gallery that mainly shows photography and any kind of photography.

Quick events through September

Well through out September not a lot of things have happened just usually small events like an acoustic events. Those events usually start until 6 then ends till like 10 or 11. My mentor had to talk to people that just wanted to play for the people and no money which is very difficult because a lot of bands or solo artists can be very greedy so its not easy to book. From that we had design our little stage and mark our on equipment for no body would steal it. These events are very small but they can be very busy. My mentor ship sounds lame and boring I know, but in October there is going to be a huge event which i'm looking forward too and its going to be fun meeting the photographers that are selling there pictures.

Blog 5: Pentagon

The Pentagon: 
(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?
- What i have completed so far is actually getting comfortable with the other interns and getting use to going to the gallery. Its really fun especially when you get to meet other artists and figure how they started their career. The great thing about this is that I actually get to set up things and be involved with everybody and not feel left out.

(2) EQ Content:  Pick a piece of research or your interview.  How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?
- Well one of my research was actually given to me by my mentor which has a lot of information of how to run a gallery or organize it, whatever you want to be in the art business. Its very helpful and explains what to do and how to do it.
(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
- Well things have been going good with almost every thing and with my hours are working well because now that I also have ROP photography it works out even more. At the gallery it helps with what people have to do and how to get to represent an artist and what their all about. Its interesting and the events are great with new talent and other photographers.
(4) What hasn't worked so far?  
- Not a lot of people go through out the week so its very slow. It has specific days when its full but its rare, its mainly full on the weekends or specific days. Usually through out the week we just organize then do nothing at the end.
(5) Finding Value:  
  •  What is a potential question you would like to study this year?  (working EQ)
- What is the best way to organize and advertise a photography art gallery?

Who do you plan to interview? Why?
- I plan to interview my mentor Christina Franco the owner of SPACE. Her and some other interns opened SPACE but she was stuck with it the other interns left to other cities even states cause they are doing so well with careers as Christina is. She also went to San Francisco which is where i want to go to when I graduate so it would be probably easy for me to talk to her because we get a long great and really look forward to it. Are you going to ask other open ended questions besides the five? What are they?
- How was it like in SF campus and the city like?
- Do you have specific major in photography? (ex photojournalism)
-What popped in your head to create SPACE?

Blog 3: Topic Choice & Semester 1 ESLR Goals

1.Topic: Photography (Music)

2. What do you plan to do this year to show growth in each of the ESLR's? Be specific and use an example. Examples can come from senior project, model assembly, core and or participation in senior class ASB or other organization on campus.

-Ipoly Citizen- This year as the last year as being an Ipoly Citizen i'm planning to try my hardest and not goof as much. Also not to be to late for school and get rid of my test anxiety. 
-Executive Leaner- This year I definitely just want the year to be over with and have my test anxiety gone and prove people that Ipoly isn't impossible just very difficult (lol). To use time wisely and procrastinate as always and just have every thing before hand.
-Effective User Of Technology- I was hoping to have a good topic and right enough information or just a large amount of it. Nothing that has commentaries which is almost everything. I just want to have a legit presentation.
-Effective Communicator- Asking a lot of questions. With Christina the owner of SPACE I ask questions on how things work and whatever else she does to get the good idea on my project. Which im pretty excited for my interview with her. Anyways I just to need to ask the right ask questions about anything with this topic and it can help with my research by expanding it.

4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
Well i just been there 2 days but how I see Christina work you have to have patience and be very organized with others. It can be very slow at the gallery but then with out the patience then it wouldn't work out. With the new people i've met its fun and it gets better when actually spread the news. 

Applied

Hopefully one of these days or in the future i could be the one inspiring others.
