About MeMy name is Allison Poland, and I'm a Freshman at Central York High School. I like to play video games, write, and draw. I joined Apollo because I went to the meeting and I found it rather interesting. Some goals I have for Apollo are to learn more about topics that I find intriguing, learn how to be better with my time management, and improve on my art and writing skills.
This project relates tarot cards with American history by taking the original meaning and art of a tarot card and recreating it in a different w1ay while also adding elements of the American history that I chose to involve. There are three events that I chose to research and recreate a tarot card for.
I decided to research the 1950's and write a noir-style story using the information I found to help make the story immersive, and more historically related. I also decided to draw two of my characters from the story in a style like the one in the 1950s.
For Give Local York (GLY), which focuses on raising money for nonprofit organizations, our group decided to put up an arts and crafts stand in Downtown York on May 4th to raise money for the GLY stretch pool which would be split between all of the participating nonprofits. I helped create a CTV ad to raise awareness of the event, and I researched persuasion tactics in advertisements.
In this project, I researched horror and creepiness, and I wrote a short story placed in futuristic America that focuses on the return of polio. For the art portion I decided to draw a scene from the story.
