Blog 14- Interview 3 Preparation

For this interview, you will prepare 10 open-ended questions that focus on your newly approved EQ (in fact, your first question can be your EQ).  Remember, all interviews must be done in person unless they are specifically approved by your house teacher.  Additionally, one person may be interviewed a maximum of two times.

1.  Who do you plan to interview?  What is this person's area of expertise?

I haven't really found anyone I can interview yet however I plan on talking to my mentor and asking her if she knows anyone I should contact or if she has any contacts herself like with her former teachers.
The area of expertise is Hair design and Makeup

2.  Verify that you have called your interviewee to schedule an interview.  What is the date and time of the interview? 
I don't have anyone to interview yet so I can't schedule anything yet.


3.  Phrase an open-ended question that will help you find research resources that would help to answer the EQ.

How do you think we can change the publics perception of viewing makeup as something negative?

4.  Phrase an open-ended question that will help you think about other useful activities you might do to help you answer the EQ (IC2, possible experts to talk to, etc).

Is there a significant difference between those who do and do not wear makeup?  What is it? 

5.  Phrase two open-ended questions that help you to understand your interviewee's perspective on an aspect of your EQ. 

Makeup has been around for centuries, it was something Men used too,  why has it just been limited to one Gender and not acceptable to the other?

At what age do you feel is appropriate to introduce Makeup to a girl and do you think it's important to explain that Makeup isn't hiding insecurities?

Blog 11- Lesson 1 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why?
Nothing really, I felt like I could've done something else to have made it a lot better but I would say it was hard to not use a PowerPoint because I had to present according to what I remember rather then what I wanted and needed to talk about.

2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.
AP- I did an okay job and also this blog is late so it makes sense to give me an AP.


















3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson?  How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2?
Just be more organized about what points I wanted to hit for my presentation and for how long I should talk about them.

Blog 10- Interview 2 Reflection

1. Please explain how you are spending your mentorship time (Is it at a workplace or somewhere else?  Are you shadowing?  Are you able to do tasks that are meaningfully related to the topic?  If so, what?  Are there other people who are experts in the location?  Etc...)

In my mentorship I am just helping my mentor with some of her clients and also act as a hair and makeup model when she wants to demonstrate something. Some days she shoes me some makeup tricks and skills swell.

2.  How did you find your mentor?  How did you convince this person to help you?  

My mentor is a family friend and I found out she was going to Ruby Makeup Academy and decided to ask if she could be my mentor.

3. How would you rate your comfort level with your mentor at this point in your relationship?  How does this relate to the time you've spent so far at mentorship/with this person

My comfort level with my mentor is a 11/10. I have no problem being around her and she teaches me in a way that is understanding and helpful.

4. What went well in this interview?  Why do you think so?  What do you still need to improve?  How do you know?  How will you go about it?

Everything went well in my opinion, towards the end of the interview she gave great advice about marketing yourself

Blog 13 10 Hour Mentorship Check-In

 1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?
My mentor does bridal makeup on the weekends sometimes and I go with her to help and watch her do bridesmaids makeup. Some occasions my mentor uses me as a makeup model to clients.

 2.   Who is your contact?  What makes this person an expert?
My mentor is Esmeralda Lopez and she is a certified makeup artist that graduated from Ruby Makeup Academy.

 3.   How many  hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).
So far during the school year I've done 25 hours.

 4.   Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.
Refer to question 1 for answer.
My mentor and I get along well and I see no problem getting my remaining hours finished by the end of the year.

 *You need 50 hours plus the original 10 in the summer by May.   The original 10 from the summer do not count toward the 50.  By the end of the year, you will have 60 hours counting that original 10.

Blog 12 Holiday Project Update

It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

A few weeks before we went on break I has completed my Independent Component so while we were on break I started to put the finishing touches on it as far as choosing the pictures I want to use etc. 

What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

The most important thing that I learned was that makeup (whether its everyday or stage makeup) doesn't have to be the same. So it was fun to be able to play around with it and get different reactions from what I do.


Your third interview will be a 10 question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?


To be honest, I'm not sure who I will interview next. I might ask my mentor if she has any friends that she still keeps in contact with from the makeup school she went to. But the questions I plan to ask will be more geared towards how makeup is viewed to the public (positive or negative ways).
