This is the picture that we used as inpiration for the project. It is the whole San Diego skyline and the tall buildings is what we used to collage our areas. Each of the tall buildings will be collaged for different places in San Diego.
This is are entire building when you put it together.
We wrote a poem on our community that we incorporated into our final collage. We wrote the poem based on what we had in our area like restaurants, events, etc.
Barrio Logan and East Village
I am from culture filled streets.
From tall buildings, reaching towards sunny blue skies.
And construction on every block, watching the world develop into the 21st century.
I am from the murals and poetry of the park
that capture the history and the heart of the Chicano people.
I am from community centers where people meet to play games.
From youth groups, filled with smiling children everyday after school.
And boxing matches against friends.
I am from baseball games and skateboarding.
I am from Las Quatro Milpas.
From the Social Club
And the Simon Levi Company.
I am from booming nightclubs and restaurants with delicious food.
I am from Saturday nights spent at Petco Park, and Sunday nights
at home, cheering for the Chargers with family and friends.
From competitive sand castle building
And zombies crawling through the streets.
I am from the Barrio Logan Filmfest and an urban neighborhood.
I am from Barrio Logan: the community of murals
beneath a freeway overpass.
I am also from East Village: the barrio turned “up and coming”
Now good enough to be considered a slice of the urban world
