    2020 Was A S*** Show
    (2020-11-27) Wall, Derrick
    2020 has been a rough year, for everyone that has hopefully lived through this year. To many truly despairing moments, and that takes a toll on the mental. I decided to put my feelings of what I went through, and many others has gone through this year. And made it a grimey, stressful, animation to sum up this year and the effect on mental health. It was stressful, downright heart breaking, but at the end I'll still keep my hope. Because we got to keep up the fight!

    2020, America Revealed
    (2020-12-10) Dehoyos, Toni
    The 2020 pandemic hit and a lot of things changed and thousands of people were against guidelines and mandates, turning a blind eye to something very serious. I was inspired to create a print for depicting America and Americans as whole as careless and selfish. We preach unity and safety from others yet still find ways to build a wall and politics plays a big part in it. In my piece I chose Uncle Sam as my subject matter as he is the symbol for America. Uncle Sam is shown as a bust being carried by a person who is divided into two representing division in our country as well as Uncle Sam wearing his mask improperly as a way to signify America’s poor execution in handling the virus only to be met halfway.

    Ignite
    (2020-12-08) Estrada, Angel; Maredia, Simran
    We chose to base our design off of personal issues and the emotional rollercoaster that the entire world has been going through. We read over the poem, “The Burning” and we loved how it explored emotions at a deeper and intense level. We want our design to express intensity and serve as a reminder of the emotions we all felt on a personal level throughout 2020.

    In Time: A Performance Pavilion for Reconnecting and Sharing Experience
    (2020-12-11) O'Leary, Janay Blancarte; Estrada, Guadalupe
    This space was designed by Janay Blancarte O'Leary and Guadalupe Estrada, This performance pavilion is a meeting place that encourages congregation and socialization, and it promotes health both in body and mind through the use of flexible spaces with movable and expandable elements such as walls, windows, stage, and seating areas to accommodate uses and allow for natural ventilation. The character of this performance pavilion will respond to the shared sentiments of UTSA students through their expressions of isolation, loss of connection and camaraderie with friends and family, loss of loved ones to Covid, and loss of financial security.

    A Love Letter to Houston
    (2020-11-27) McLain, Gillian
    I was born and raised in Houston, Texas as was most of my mother's immediate side of the family. Our city is very important to me, its vibrance and style is so unique, our communities are resilient. I wanted to pay respects to the streets, buildings and art that I love, while also bringing attention to the greater humanitarian issues in Houston a lot of which due to COVID-19. I hope that the appreciation I have of where I come from is evident in my work, but most importantly this video is made for those who have the resources to help out the homeless, LGBT+ and black communities in the greater Houston area.
