Onward!SRQ Blog

http://onwardsrq.wordpress.com/
Thats the blog I've been working on for the project. I know I've linked to it before, but I've made some significant layout changes, and I think this one is much more aesthetically pleasing, and keeps in with the modern, clean image I want the project to have. A new post is coming soon, I promise, I am just having trouble writing it to where it sounds intelligent, yet still accessible.

OnwardSRQ connections

While working on this project, I have connected with a lot of interesting people who have been very excited about this project, and have offered a lot of help. The first person I met was an old teacher of mine, Emily Hall. She works at the Mote Marine, and had a lot of very helpful advice as to how to work on the project, as well as how to acquire the information I needed. Later, I met with Elise Lipoff, who works for the Willis A. Smith construction company, the same one that has been doing all the construction work on campus, and in addition to giving me lots of advice on how to carry out this project, she has helped me make some very crucial contacts.

Unfortunately, it has been difficult getting many other people to respond to my emails. I think the fact that the project is still in its infancy, and that its summer and everybody is either busy or away from the office, I won't be getting many replies this summer. However, that gives me more time to build up the site, and hopefully have somethign really awesome to show them when I do get in contact with them.

Children First mural is FINISHED !

Finally the mural at Children First at the MLK site is FINISHED ! whoohoo, It actually took much longer to completed than i thought when i first started painting, which i think is due to arm muscles hurting at times and also the SMH mural. However I am soooo happy with the result of the mural and it is something I am really proud of. The teachers and staff just can't stop thanking me for painting it which feels awesome! they love it and so does the kiddies. Sadly i could not complete the request for a rainbow from one of the children, but i will keep it in mind for in the future. When I was painting the words on the ground I had several kids coming up to me asking me why i was writing and then we started talking about the fruit and veggies which was the whole goal of the concept of the mural is to get the children talking about it and the food. Overall I am very happy and I am so glad I chose this to do as my individual project.
