For this project, someone from our table had to grab a paper written with inside a box to choose what place they got to make a collage for. We ended up getting the community Downtown/Gaslamp/Little Italy. Our table had to work on making sure we got important pictures to fill in the building that we got. Also later on we had to make a poem that went along with our collage. While we did research we found out about some famous places that would go with the collage. After the whole thing that happened we worked on finding unique images to collage,which after we had collages to pass the final so we could glue them down then later throughout we were able to do the final piece which came out nice.

Udeema Shakya, Benny Jimenez, Nick Coates, Cindy Ocotitla Humanities-½ 24 Oct. 2014 Bright Lights That Never Go Out I am from starting my morning to the buzz of city traffic. From navigating around one way roads And having a skateboard for transportation. I am from going home in an elevator And hearing planes fly overhead carrying people from faraway places. I am from shopping at Horton Plaza and the boutiques and popular stores in Gaslamp. From buying nice clothes and bows for my hair from a night out in the town And sipping lattes in comfy warm coffee shops. I am from intriguing diversity inside every store and restaurant I enter. I am from compact yet cozy apartments. From modern and old homes And delicious fresh peaches from the local farmer’s market. I am from a rich history and the Haunted Hotel. I am from dusty old books sitting in a new modern paradise. From the parties down under that children can not enter And the forgotten homeless who are never far out of sight but seem to disappear, Bypassed by far too many people. I am from walking down the street and hearing the words “Spare Change” at every other corner. I am from the beautiful chalk art and the crowded film festival. From Cos-play grown-ups at Comic-Con And the Gaslamp sign that glows every night. I am from the ships that have been docked in the harbor for years With secrets that hide away waiting to be found. I am from Downtown. From the bright lights that never go out. |
