This project for me was not very challenging. Starting off I knew I wanted to do someone famous who had passed away. I tried to think of some actors and movies that I really liked. I am very into cars and some of my favorite movies are the Fast and Furious movies. Soon after I remembered that I remembered that one of the key actors in this movie had passed away. Paul Walker one of the key characters that made these movies so great. As soon as I realized this I knew I wanted to make an ofrenda for him.
I knew I wanted to include images of him, his favorite food, and also one of his favorite cars. I found this information through google and then continued to look for info. I found out his favorite food was lasagna and one of his favorite cars was the Porsche Carrera GT. This was also the car he crashed and died in. I went home and managed to find a Hot Wheels Porsche which looked identical. It was also in the same color Red. Overall I believed my ofrenda looked good and came out nice.
The part I enjoyed the most of the cultural connections project was learning about the Aztecs. Learning about the Aztecs for me was very interesting. Everything from the way they dressed to how they lived and what they eat. This all to me was very interesting because it showed how we as humans have greatly evolved over time. It also makes me think about how we will evolve to be in the future.
After our first exhibition we had a chance to revise our ofrendas. My ofrenda has all the requirements but I knew I could make it better. I asked for some feedback from my class mates said it looked kind of empty. I decided to add a couple more things and also reposition things that were already on there. After I did this I asked them again and they said it looked a lot better. The changes I made made my ofrenda look fuller and also better overall. This feedback helped me because I knew I could make it better but I just needed a bit of advice on how I could make it better.
I believe I deserve a 3.5. My ofrenda to me turned out great. It met all the requirements and I tried to make it look as good as possible. But it was not the best ofrenda out of everybody. Possibly more creativity on a different way to present it could have made it better.
If I could change something about this project I would not change anything. Everything was planned well and all the timelines were a good length. The overall concept of this project was good and I enjoyed it.
