The second day of the project our plans for the day were confined to one block period. Our group met at the end of the day to combine data from observations at the Town Green. We sat at a group of tables and most of us were using some form of technology.
Here we transferred our notes and observations to digital copies onto Google Drive. I read my interview notes out loud as one of my team members typed into a document with the questions written above. Meanwhile other group members color coded a map to show where there was a larger concentration of people on the Town Green.
As a group we also discussed what we saw on the Town Green. We noted that many young children liked to ride their scooters, food trucks were popular, and people usually came for the peace.
We also followed up on a plan from the end of the day of the project, our team name. There were friendly disputes over the official name of the group. Some of the names were more fun, while others pertained to the project. We all agreed the name should be catchy yet relate to the project somehow. One of the options was STEAM Team, an altered version of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) with the added subject of art, our presumed focus of the project. The other was Project ART, with the same art concept, but with an acronym in art. In the end we went with the Project ART.
Project Aesthetic Rejuvenation of the Town Green
At this point, I felt our data was leading us to a clearer picture of the problem. Although we spent a good amount of time choosing our name, the carefully chosen words of each letter of the acronym made sense. Our goal is to add to the Town Green's atmosphere, not alter it or disturb the peace. And we plan to do this in an artistic way which we decided as group is the best way to go.
