The best
part of this course for me was focusing on Los Angeles-based queer artists and
creating a website to enhance their visibility.
The website serves as another tool for the Los Angeles diverse community
to learn more about artists that play a significant part of shaping this city’s
community. In other words, this website
is intended to be a resource for the general public to learn about queer
artists and their work. This course gave
me the opportunity to learn about artists and their art I did not know
about. In fact, I chose an artist that I
did not know anything about and decided to do as much research as I could about
her, Alison de la Cruz. I also decided
to focus on her because I enjoy learning about performance artists. In the process of creating the website with
the class, I enjoyed using digital tools, like Photoshop to visually represent
what de la Cruz does as a performer. It
was a somewhat difficult process, since I am not a technology person. However, I am very pleased with what I have
learned and to be part of this collaborative work that is dedicated to the
Latina/o queer artists that we researched.
