Hello, my name is Alondra Obispo. Welcome to my capstone website!
About Me
I am a rising senior at UIC. I am an Interdisciplinary Education in the Arts (IDEA) major. This is my first semester of the IDEA 410 capstone course.
For my capstone project, I decided to focus on the dangerous working conditions in the manufacturing industry. In the summer of 2018, I had the chance to work in a bread factory under extreme conditions. It was very gruesome and not pleasant. After that experience, I realized that I needed to inform the general public about this. With that said, my goal is to create an illustrated book that includes my experiences as well as some helpful tips for my audience to consider.
As someone who loves to draw on a daily basis, I knew that a children’s book would be perfect for my project.
A new skill that I mastered this spring semester was the application Procreate.
