Project Description:
“What is a community?” San Diego is a city of neighborhoods, each with their own distinct qualities. This project we intend to travel throughout the many neighborhoods of San Diego observing the cultural differences and their aesthetics. We will be paying attention to sights, sounds, tastes, and aesthetics of these neighborhoods. With these explorations of San Diego, we will develop a “Mood Truck” in partners that addresses the social differences.
Before we actually started the project, we have to research our families. After looking on ancestory.com, we put together our family trees that represented our families. We also tied in a symbol that was part of our family into our tree.
Reflection:
I really like this art part of the project because it was really cool to make the truck. I really liked designing the inside and outside of the truck. I also liked how we did the family tree part. I thought this was cool because even though I've already done a family tree project, every time I learn more about my family.

For my symbol, I chose a red cross to indicate the medicine in my family. A lot of my family members either were or are in the medical industry, such as nurses, doctors, and even chiefs of the hospitals. For these reasons, my symbol was again, the red cross. The red, green, and white shape is Italy, and has all of the names on my mom's side. I did this because her family originates from Italy. On the right side, the blue and white flag is Scotland, and this is where my dad's side originates from.

Truck Reflection:
I chose the type of truck that I did because I wanted it to be realistic, and something that could actually solve my problem, even in the future. This truck is important to me because it's something that I worked really hard to achieve. Even though I didn't get many votes, I was still happy with the idea and unique work that my partner and I did. The inspiration behind this truck for me was my sister. A few years ago, she did something similar to help out the homeless. I stemmed from that idea to come up with this one, and I couldn't have done it without her inspiration.
