Be kind to others. Be kind to your peers, to your teachers, to your family. Kindness is making the choice to be generous with people who deserve it, and sometimes, people who don't. If you need help, reach out to your teachers. They will absolutely help you with what you need! Don't procrastinate an (1) ·
Don't be too hard on yourself. If you don't meet your own expectations, or anyone else's, that isn't necessarily the worst thing in the world. Room for improvement is just that. You do what you can do, and you keep going. If someone else is accomplishing a lot, but you can't do as much, that doesn't (1) ·
Don't stress too much (1) ·
Stay true to you. What you love doing can be your Capstone and just trust the process. (1) ·
We’re told as seniors to get our “money up” but we’re not told don’t forget you have to feel and look good while doing it. (1)

Capdescription:
I chose my senior capstone to be about photography and my progression within that. I’ve picked up technical shooting skills and am building a portfolio. To help further my enrichment in my Capstone, I took two photography classes this year. I worked hands-on with Ms. Butcher, brushing up on my com (1) ·
In a series of paintings with TSAS subjects, I wanted to showcase many (but not all) people with different background and ethnicity. I wanted to show viewers that although we may look, speak, or act a different way from each other, it shouldn't divide us. Human beings, no matter the people we associ (1) ·
It's a website filled with my darkroom and digital photography. Visit my website [https://joylynnsmetana.wixsite.com/joylynnsphotography here]. (1) ·
This is a written work discussing personal projects and studies in horticulture, and how passionate interests can make a difference in the way we handle negative situations. It isn't all I had wanted it to be, but I think it still delivers the message I wanted to get across. (1) ·
Wooden canvases I painted with the teachers I've had throughout all the 4 years that I've been to TSAS. (1)

I described my capstone as "a series of paintings that speak for different types of people." It was exactly as I ended up with! I wanted to expose people to the concept of our differences being skin deep. Regardless of our born identities, we aren't different. Our cultures may be different, and our (1) ·
I was going to be volunteering at a local children’s museum. My capstone about this was to discuss the importance and livelihood of service to the community. (1) ·
It started as a self love project, but over time I realized that it wouldn't be possible to finish in quarantine. So, I decided to make a photography website (1) ·
Originally, I wanted to just print out pictures of the teachers I've had and get some tracing paper and trace it onto the canvas. (1) ·
The first project I had decided on was to make a book of simple pleasures, in order to create something that could have a positive impact on both me and other people. In a way I came back around to that same theme although centralized on gardening and horticulture. (1)
Capchange:
Due to lack of enrichment and work, I decided to change my capstone to photography. Luckily enough, I had already been attending a photo class. Ms. Butcher took me under her wing right away to help brainstorm and envision how to build a portfolio and give an artist statement. (1) ·
I completely started over and changed my entire project. (1) ·
I decided to change the way I sketched the paintings. I had talks with Karner and Foshee about how I could make this project better. They asked why I was tracing instead of drawing it myself. I took a couple of days to process that as well. Why was I doing that? It always felt like I was a fake ever (1) ·
Not everything went exactly as I planned it! While I didn't ever change the premise of my Capstone, I had a lot of issues with productivity and eventually, a lack of supplies. I went from aiming for 24-25 models, down to 18, and finally, 16. I think, on my part, I was trying too hard and trying to d (1) ·
Things absolutely did not go as planned, and I changed my project idea multiple times. In the end, a combination of procrastination, executive dysfunction, depression, and inability to focus left me with nothing to work with and little time to put something together. The events of the past month mad (1)
Capreflection:
I learned that it is a lot harder to do something than to say you're going to do them. I wanted to compensate for what I felt insecure about, and struggled a lot because of it. I think my takeaway, really, is to pace myself. I would go between periods of excess and then nothing at all, and felt a lo (1) ·
I learned to stay true to my style and trust the process. Also how I need to realize that I'm not going to be a professional painter/artist overnight. Also stop giving myself such a hard time. (1) ·
I was overworking myself and took on too big of a workload. (1) ·
Our generation sadly cares more about passing than learning, though I don’t know who’s fault it is. (1) ·
The project is nothing like I pictured it would be in the beginning, but I think that's okay. The purpose of capstone was to get us to do something new, and, in kind of an indirect way, I have done that. Hopefully that will be enough. Nothing about this end to my senior year is really satisfying or (1)
