These GIFs were a form of visual sketching. I experimented with various elements of the research I did on East Cesar Chavez, both out in the neighborhood myself and from in depth academic research. It was here that I first started the process of looking at the East Cesar Chavez neighborhood through the eyes of children, and thinking about the affects gentrification would have on them psychologically. While the visual style of each of these GIFs is very different, the concepts that run through can be seen in my final product, a “my first chapter book” about the neighborhood.
