Wednesday 27th May 2020 Mind map: Choose one issue you feel passionate about as your final issue and explain why that is: I chose the effects of depression as my final issue.

I have also done the projects as PowerPoints or posters and would like to do a project about depression in a more visual manner. How does your final issue link with the global context or statement of inquiry?

Sunday 12th April 2020 For my art challenge, I decided to paint the logo of one of my favourite superheroes, Black Widow. I chose her because I love her back story, her strength, and her abilities.
