My research has taken a slight turn from the original plan that I had discussed in my presentation over the winter session. I was looking into the bus schedules and found major resistance and road blocks. With that said, I have decided to still travel the roads, but I will do every road within the radius of both School 12 and School 28; taking note where murals and graffiti are located. The radius will be based off data that I collect from http://www.cityofrochester.gov. I have been looking into the city’s main website to get guidelines on neighborhood zoning. I have also been looking into which zones my schools embody; thus, keeping in mind that we have a lottery system in the district. I will then proceed to show the images to local shop and community members. I was going to give them printed images with questions. I will ask that they respond to the questions via paper or internet (assuming not everyone has internet access). Or if I can personally record responses if they do not have time to write. I will also incorporate student responses. I will show them the images, and then I will record the responses via written or recorded documentation. If I do recording, it will not be video but just audio. I have begun the HREB process. The application is very intimidating. I fear being concise might be an issue, since I feel as though my research is having many “hiccups” already at this point. Overall, I am excited for the art part of the research. I think it is actually starting to bring a little clarity to the process. The writing seems to cause me to slow down with my thoughts and rethink things. I am trying to do both at the same time.
