My researched essay and argument was on the impact of the Catholic church on abortion and health care policy at Catholic universities: specifically Santa Clara.<\/p>\n<p>I focused on the decision of SCU president Michael Engh to cut elective abortion from the faculty health care plan back in 2013. I mainly talked about the implications and dangers of the Catholic church having such a large influence and how the specific influence of the Catholic church was not in line with Jesuit Philosophy in this instance.<\/p>\n<p>It was long and winding and as much of an adventure to read as it was to write.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/68.media.tumblr.com\/7c25c7bec548f686c280749e5f4d313d\/tumblr_npjmu5ztJp1reqjk7o1_500.gif\" width=\"500\" height=\"200\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">From Tumblr<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And so when this final project was announced and explained I wanted to find a way to simplify the behemoth of an essay that it was.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure why, but I immediately thought of a drawing.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t care about my history as a drawer then skip the next italicized part.<\/p>\n<p><em>See a quick bit history, I&#8217;m not a great drawer. I didn&#8217;t ever really love drawing until I took an intro to drawing and painting class my freshmen year of high school.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Now on most of the projects I was very average and nobody was hiring me to draw their portraits, but on one specific assignment I knocked it out of the park. I wish I could find the actual image of my drawing to show, but anyways I&#8217;ll sum it up.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So it was a self portrait of me and it was larger than life size. We were drawing off of images of ourselves and I continually was surprising myself at how well I was drawing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I spent about 3 hours on the eyes alone and the drawing turned out quite well!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To this day I&#8217;m very proud of this work of art.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/ZxFArVflJdXRS\/giphy.gif\" width=\"500\" height=\"275\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">From Giphy<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Anyways back to the topic at hand. I thought for this final multimodal translation I could draw something!<\/p>\n<p>I initially thought about drawing a comic type thing that might be found in the New Yorker. But then I figured it wouldn&#8217;t really be multimodal at all other than drawing (which I guess counts? I couldn&#8217;t tell you).<\/p>\n<p>So I decided on a drawing anyways and I&#8217;d film it to make it multimodal!!<\/p>\n<p>Except when I sat down to film the damn thing it was so difficult to find a way to position the camera in a way that the viewer could actually see what I was doing.<\/p>\n<p>I promise I tried.<\/p>\n<p>So I decided on taking pictures at each stage of the drawing and seeing where to go from there.<\/p>\n<p>I think it ended up working out quite well and I&#8217;m happy with the result.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not quite as good as my original drawing of my face, but it might be added to my portfolio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here it is.
