La Poesía de la Comida
this project has consisted of getting a recipe from a native Spanish speaking country and then translating it to Spanish. In this project we also each wrote an ode to one of the ingredients. Also for the exhibition we cooked our recipes and served people.

Ode



Ode to Bacon
By: Joe Wilson


Bacon is so great
it fills my mind everyday
I want to eat it.

The smell is so fresh
like waterfalls of rainbows
I want to smell it.

The sight is so mint
like looking on god himself
I want to see it.

The feel is so rough
like a smoothed sandpaper
I want touch it.

The sound is so crisp
like fresh colorless iced snow
I want to hear it.

The taste is so great
like nothing you’ve had before
we need to eat it.




Oda al Tocino
Por: Joe Wilson


Tocino es tan grande
llena mi mente diario
quiero comer

el olor es tan fresco
como cascadas de arcos iris
quiero olerlo

la vista es tan menta
como Dios mirándose a sí mismo
quiero verlo

la sensación es tan áspero
como un papel de lija alisado
 quiero tocarlo

el sonido es tan nítido
como nieve helado fresco sin color
quiero escucharlo

el sabor es tan grande
como nada que has tenido antes
necesitamos comerlo


Reflection
when doing this project I honestly did not learn much at all. The only real thing that i learned during this project is a few fun facts about the country that my dish came from. For example, in Puerto Rico there are packs of wild dogs that roam the lands, but the dogs are not means, they are more like packs of friendly puppys. My dish (rice and beans) tasted really good and was fairly easy to make, which i would expect it to be because it is one of the most cooked and eaten meals of Puerto Rico. The part of the project that i am most proud of is the ode to bacon that I wrote. I am proud of this because this was that part of the project that I put the most amount time and effort into





Arte y Lengua 

This project consisted of me choosing a Spanish artist that i liked, creating a piece of art that mimicked his or her style, writing an artist statement in Spanish, and then display our art at our exhibition.


Artist Statement:


Mi mentor es Xulio Villarino. Escogí este artista porque me gusta su fotografía estilo. Mi artista, Xulio Villarino, es un fotógrafo. Moderno y extraño caracterizan las obras de mi artista. Se puede reconocer las obras de Xulio Villarino por sus fotos impresionantes. A mi me gusta Xulio Villarino’s fotos paisaje. A mi me disgusta su fotos de personas, no incluso siluetas. Mi artista uso oscuro, misterioso y luz de fondo temas porque me gusta este tipo de fotografía y estos son el tipo de temas que mi artista
Uso oscuro, y temas misterioso porque estoy imitando mi artistas estilo. Una conexión que tengo con mi mentor es el y yo fueron ambos autodidacta. Conecto a mi mentor por mirando su fotos y ver las conexiones entre mi fotos y sus fotos.
En mi obra una puesta del sol con una silueta de una colina. Uso los colores naranja, negro y oscuro. Uso temas oscuros y misteriosos. Pongo luz de fondo en mi obra porque, en mi favorita fotos por mi artista él uso luz de fondo.


This project was fun in many ways. I also took something away from this project this project really helped me with my adaptability. It did this because when i was gone for a week I came back to a lot of work and i had to adapt to this by really putting my all into it and getting it done.

Project/Del Alma Reflection

This project was a good experience for me. I really enjoyed seeing my project go from notes to an english draft to a spanish product. Taking these step felt very good. Every time i would finish a step i would feel very accomplished. This project was good in many ways, but I felt that you gave us way to much time to do these steps. In a way, thats a good thing because i felt very relaxed writing my book. But I think that we could have done it faster and would have had more time to study a new concept

The exhibition that was held at the Del Alma elementary school was my favorite exhibition this year. I really think that this exhibition was very well thought out and was a great learning experience for us at the Animas and also for the students at Del Alma. I think that in the future we should do more things with kids.
