Chore Corps Service Event
I went to an event at my school where we worked with Chore Crops. Chore Corps is when volunteers help senior citizens with in-home services. This could be mowing the lawn, cleaning their kitchen, and even just talking to the senior citizens. The first lady my group worked with asked us to have her lawn cleaned up. We raked her leaves and put them in bags for her and she was a really cool person. She let her dogs out and we got a lot of love from them. The second lady asked use to clean her house. She had a very small house and I was assigned to clean her fregue... She had not cleaned that fridge in 2 years! It was very nasty. This is learning outcome 6 which is demonstrating engagement with issues of global significance. This is outcome 6 because I learned about the housing systems in houston and recognizing the impact that has on people lives.

Garrett Bradley: American Rhapsody (CAMH)

Izabella Curtis Ib Student 2021 Contemporary Arts Museum Houston Garrett Bradley: American Rhapsody Exhibit I got the opportunity to walk over to the Contemporary Art Museum (CAM). Garret Bradley is a local Houston filmmaker. Bradley made 3 films, the first was very long and I felt like the story was like the clipping of other stories but it allowed me to think in-depth about my place in society. while the other two stories surrounded themes of love and the ideology of colorism.  I placed this under Learning Outcome one,  Identify your own strengths and develop areas of growth. In this exhibition, I felt like I learned a lot from all the people and other viewers and developed a lot of growth when researching and understanding this artist.

Izabella Curtis Ib Student 2021 Exit Through The Gift Shop Documentary (?) Banksy I watched this documentary about street artist, and it was based around the famous British street artist Banksy but then it somehow became about this guy named Terri who was filming the documentary... It was really cool and funny but like I am not really sure how it switched to be about this documenter. He wasn't even a professional filmmaker! He was just some guy with a camera! Learning Outcome 2, Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process. Watching Exit Through the Gift Shop is learning outcome 2 because my challenges were actually watching this movie and trying not to laugh and the new skill I learned was more about Banksy and Mr. Brainwash (Terri) He later becomes one of the most famous street artist in America.

New Museum Building!

 Izabella Curtis  IB Student  MFAH New Contemporary Art Building  Being locked up at home for several months due to the Corona Virus, I cautiously decided that I wanted to meet up with some friends to look at the new building that opened up at the MFAH. I got to see Sierra, Jadyn, and Cricket. I haven't seen them in months! We first walked to a local coffee shop called Black Hole, then walked to the MFAH. The new art museum shows only modern and contemporary art. I have identified this activity with learning outcome 5, those outcome is sharing skills and knowledge I felt like I did this by going with my friends and sharing our thoughts about this very unique and special exhibition.
