Day Three


May 1st, 2019

Today was a nice relaxing day compared to the past two days. We enjoyed a nice breakfast and discussed how we went to go about our art project. We plan to separate the clean trash we pick up by color and and plan on where we went each piece of trash. We also used pinterest to create more ideas for our project. Next, we went to slocume and started to paint prototypes to get a picture of how we want our designing to look. We created something called a mood board, it’s to create a picture collage to help generate ideas. Often interior designers will use a mood board to show a buyer the different types of outcomes. We decided to use the same method to show different ideas on how we want to get our message across to our viewers. Lastly, we discussed our plan for our big day trip for tomorrow. We spent an hour generating ideas, looking on pinterest, and creating our mood board. Then we spent two hours in slocume creating the prototypes. It was a great day in preparation for our upcoming busy days in the future.

Day One

April 29th, 2019 For our first day Chloe and I sat down at breakfast where we overlooked our plans for the upcoming weeks.We came up with our plan for which beaches we will be visiting along with making a list of art supplies. We then drove to Michaels in West Lebanon to get art supplies for the visual portion of our project. On the trip to Michaels we called our mentor, Clarissa, and discussed our plans for cleaning up beaches three times each week. Then we figured out the logistics in regards to how we will form our art pieces. Finally she gave us advice on how to keep our audience engaged during express fest. We also made a plan with Clarissa where we will FaceTime with her during the week to update her and show her our progress.It was overall a successful day of preparation for the upcoming weeks. Chloe and I worked for a total of four hours today.

April 30th 2019- Today was another successful day, Chloe and I woke up around 8:30 and got to Highland Lake beach around 9. We parked got out rubber gloves on and got to work. When we got there we were shocked by the amount of trash that was all over the grass, beach, and woods. We had two different bags that we separated from trash and recycling/ what we need for our art project. We were overwhelmed with the amount of beer cans and cigarette butts we found all over the beach. There was trash so deep in the woods, but Chloe and I managed to get as much as we could out. Sadly, we hit a rough patch when we had come across a lot of heroin needles. Luckily , we were extremely cautious and handled them with care. Next we came back to campus to clean off the trash for our project. I almost had a heart attack when a massive spider crawled out from one of Chloe's cans. From then on we took extreme precautions and making sure there were no more bugs in the cans. After talking to our mentor...

May 6th, 2019 19 years ago a one of my best friends was born. As part of her birthday present I let her choose our course of action today. She need to decide whether we were going to go to a beach or clean and cut the trash from out last excursion. The weather was bright and shining so chloe had decided she wanted to do art outside on the turf. In addition to our art project I drove to colonial pharmacy to buy a better pair of scissors then I have been using and came across these bracelets called 4ocans. It is a company made by two surfers that are extremely passionate about cleaning the oceans. They created bracelets made from recycled material and made all proceeds to cleaning up trash in the ocean. By purchasing one bracelet 4ocean will remove one pound of trash. I made the decision to buy one of the bracelets for Chloe’s birthday because it only seems fitting. Chloe and I worked a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes. Tomorrow we will be traveling to another breach for a fun filled d...
