For this assignment, I will be making a brochure that raises awareness about the healthcare inequalities that happen in America. I feel that a brochure will reach the intended audience of my project, which are people who are financially burdened from healthcare costs. I aim to also try and provide resources to help these people. I feel that a brochure is really the best genre because it shows the healthcare disparities in multiple diverse communities and highlights how our system is severely broken. A brochure is also visual and quick, which gets the message across without forcing someone to commit. You also see brochures a lot in medical offices.
The written portion of this assignment will be an artist statement. I want people to understand my reasoning for doing what I do and why I did it. Having an artist statement attached shows my audience that this is something I genuinely care about and am actively trying to help.

Class Meetings & Times: in person Mondays and Wednesdays, 2:30 – 3:45 PM in Namm 523A
Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
At this point, I know it’s a late assignment. I guess things are going horribly wrong. This week my entire family had gotten COVID-19 besides myself and my daughter. When I’m at school my parents usually help babysit my daughter, but they were both compromised from the virus. I didn’t want to be in a position where I had to choose between education and family, but sadly I did. I chose family, and would do so again without thought.
That being said, I am extremely behind this unit assignment, but I am optimistic that things can still be done to earn a good grade. I feel that this project was a good assignment but due to outside circumstances I was greatly hindered creatively and time management wise.
That being said I will still try to get everything done and turned in.
TLDR: COVID ruins everything, I am down but not out.
