100 word essay
My connection to Cesar Chavez is that he cares for mexicans and I do too.What Cesar Chavez cared the most for was for imagrents rights,and I think that it was good that he did that.If Cesar Chavez woulden't have lead in so many strikes to help raise the mexican wages then imagrants would probably would still be in the same place.The poem talks about Cesar Chavez and George Benedicts life at some hard times, or when they were helping some people out and setting rights.The poem also has information about the people and what they did to be resilience.

100(plus a little) word description
My artistic piece represents George Benedict (my grandpa), a holocaust survivor, and Cesar Chavez, a civil rights activist. The window, to me, represents looking back on history and remembering to keep the bad from happening again. In each of the four sections of the window I have drawn a scene from history. The first two scenes show kids before and during the holocaust. Before the holocaust the kids are having fun playing soccer (as Benedict did as a child). During the holocaust, the children were fighting to stay alive. The next two scenes show field workers in the fields and people living in a big house. These represent a group of people being mistreated and others benefiting from their hard work.

Connection to Art Piece
The connection to my art piece isthrough my Grandpa and soccer. One of our resilient characters is my granpa my connection to him, is that he happens to be my moms, dad. Another connection that I have is, in the picture that represents the period of time before the holocaust, it shows kids playing soccer. Both me and my Grandpa have played and watched a lot of soccer. My Grandpa has talked about being a free kid and playing soccer outside for hours at a time.
-Do you have any shared interest as a grandparent (old relative)?
-Do you know anything about what you parents were like, or what they did for fun as kids?

Art piece connection
The person that I think that most relatates to me from George Benedict and Cesar CHavez is Cesar chavez because he was strong all the way through his life. Cesar Chavez is a very important person to me because he helped alot of mexicans out coming to the U.S. and getting a better life.

Reflection

My partner has done the paintings in the project. My plan for the this coming up week is to work more on our project and hope that the project will be nice.
Poem
on my poem I am going to talk about Goerge Benedict and Cesar Chavez. I am going to compare and contrast both of them. I will mention how they both sufferd during a difficult time. I get inspired by Cesar Chavez because he helped Mexicans get better wages when they had to work the fields.

Blueprint
I plan to get pictures off theinternet and then project them onto the scree. Then I will trace the pictures on 18" x 24" canvas. I will them paint the pictures and place them in their spots in the wood window frame.
I only got a little feed back on my blueprint but i did get a few good ideas. A main suggestion that I got was to try to paint the pictures in a Folk Art style. I think this will give my project an "older" more "dirty" look, as well as give me an excuse for having not particularly good looking paintings.
