Appendix 8 - DEFINE THE GOAL

Since my project and goal had changed a little bit throughout the holidays. I had to fill out appendix 8 over again. Here is the updated appendix 8 with my latest goal, inquiry question, project outcome's specifications and timeline.


Area of interaction focus
 The AOI provides the context of the personal project process
Which area of interaction will be my focus?
How does the inquiry cycle work within my project?


MY TOPIC and
THE MOTIVATION/INSPIRATION 
OF THE PROJECT

Health and Social Education
My topic is breast cancer awareness. Just from the name of it, you can guess that what I will do for my personal project is increase breast cancer awareness. I am motivated to to this project because I realized the awareness of breast cancer in Indonesia is very low and it’s very sad for me to see all the beautiful women, especially moms, die due to breast cancer. I got my inspiration to do this project from the people I know who suffered and died or suffered and over-come it. 

The inquiry cycle will work because this project will increase my awareness/understanding through my investigation on social issues. I will take action by presenting values and responsibilities.
     
MY GOAL
What will you do?
Who will be your targeted people/community?
How will you accomplish your goal?
What I will do is create an artwork that has sentimental values. This artwork, may it be a sculpture, painting, etc., will need to be able to portray the emotions that these women who suffered from breast cancer feel. My targeted people and community will be the women who goes to this special women hospital. I will accomplish my goal by getting to know these women who suffered from breast cancer. I will try my best to get them to trust me and tell me about their feelings. After that, I take all those feelings and design plus create an artwork that’ll portray them.


INQUIRY QUESTION: 
What pressure does women suffering from breast cancer go through and what kind of artwork is best to convey that message?
GUIDING QUESTIONS OF MY RESEARCH:
  • How does the women living with breast cancer feel about having it?
    • What are their emotional needs?
    • What change in their lives since breast cancer?
    • How does breast cancer affect their relationships?
    • How do they feel when they first heard they suffer from it?
    • What are their fears?
    • What happen after they overcome it? (for those who did)
  • What are the types of artwork I can produce to convey the message?
    • How will each artwork convey the message?
    • What tools do I need to create each artwork?
- How much time will each artwork need to be finished?
  • What are the things that usually make an attempt to increase awareness successful?
    • How each factor “speaks” to the community?
    • What factors doesn’t work on a community?
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT: 

My product will be an artwork that portrays the emotions and pressure that women with breast cancer has to go through.
PROJECT’s OUTCOME SPECIFICATIONS:    
The specifications of my project’s outcome is that (1) it has to be an artwork or at least some thing that has artistic values. I have that as one of my outcome specification because art is known to be able to convey very deep emotions compare to other things such as movies, slogans, posters, etc. An artwork will get the audience analyzing it rather than just looking at it. (2) It needs to be able to be publicized in a public place without having to do extra work to publicize it. The artwork needs to be put in a public place otherwise this whole idea is a waste. My target audience are the women in a hospital and in order for me to be allowed to “hang” my artwork in a hospital, it needs to be simple. (3) It needs to portray emotions of the women suffering from breast cancer. That is the main goal of my project, so if my artwork doesn’t portray any emotion then I don’t achieve my goal.(4) The emotions that I will try to put on the artwork needs to be truly felt by at least 3 women. To prove whether or not my artwork will create awareness, I need to really test it. I chose to have at least 3 women “feel” it because I guess 3 is the “legal” number. (5) The artwork has to be something that is everlasting, meaning it won’t break through time. If I create an artwork that will break, then this project means nothing. The artwork needs to be able to make generations of women, aware of breast cancer.
