One of our PBL (Project based learning) projects this year was titled: Guernica: One Love, Growing through Conflict. Our project wass centered around Picasso's artwork Guernica. We used this artwork in different classes to do different projects that came together in the end to create a final project. See more info below!

In Spanish, we researched different types of trafficking. I partnered with Ayo McGregor and we researched drug trafficking. Our article was about the drug trafficking crisis in Honduras. This problem is important to learn about because it can help people find resources if they or someone they know is dealing with this issue.

In World Literature, we wrote argumentative essays on a topic of choice. I decided to write about the mental health of African American men. We also created propaganda posters with the skills we learned in World History to create a visual representation of the topic we wrote about in our essays. Finally, I worked with Axum Nicekrson, Zylah Grier, Alice Davis, and Brayden Harris to create a PSA video related to the theme of the artwork we created in Visual Art.

For my poster, I created the phrase “Black Men Cry Too”. In society, black boys are raised to be masculine and force down their feelings. Arah Iloabugichukwu stated, “..they internalized the idea that to be strong was to endure your suffering in silence.” This proves that black men are told from a young age to force feelings down and to just be ‘strong’. I chose to do this phrase because I think it is important to let others know that everyone has feelings and those feelings are important. I also used the color blue because it symbolizes sadness. I incorporated phrases that society may have told these men at a young age, such as: “Be a man.”, “What are you crying for?”, and “You’ll get over it”. I used the image of a man crying because it can symbolize actual crying and also how detrimental these harmful words can be to one’s mental health in the future. Lastly, I added fingers pointing at the man in the middle because it shows the potential “embarrassment” that comes with crying.

In chemistry, I worked with the same group that I worked with for art (Axum Nickerson, Vincent Kray, Brayden Harris). We collaborated to research types of pigment and created to create a shade of forest green paint for our section of the Guernica artwork. See our slideshow below!
