Victoria Jiang, Capstone
As a senior, I inquired about how I could brighten up the SLA community through the use of my knowledge of art, love for creativity, and sense of safety and community. Speaking with Ms. Angeles, my mentor, and my peers helped me brainstorm ways I could put forth my inquiry question to which I came up with hosting art workshops! These workshops would allow the latter, a safe space for teens of all identities, and something to look forward to each week to take a break from schoolwork and life in general. Then, I researched the materials I needed, especially important to ask for Braskem funding, along with creating detailed plans of preparation to smoothly host each of my workshops.
For my 2026 capstone, I hosted three workshops throughout the month of March through the creation of the SLA Art Lounge. The first workshop on March 10th was button making. Students had the opportunity to create as many buttons of their own design and creativity as they wanted. The second workshop on March 17th was bedazzling. Students brought their own personal items to bedazzle whether it was sunglasses, school chromebooks, lipstick, and much more! The third and final workshop hosted on March 24th was decoden! Students had access to charms, decoden cream, and objects that could be decorated on such as jars, trinket boxes, and picture frames! At the end of my workshops, every student kept their personalized and decorated items home to adorn their rooms, phones, and backpacks!
