\u00a0 \u00a0On Wednesday, April 18, students congregated in the library loggia to present and view projects. These projects had been completed this year by Sinclair honor students with the occasional aid of professors. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The loggia was packed with folks trying to see some of the ideas that sinclair students created. From interpersonal relations, to sports history all the way to chemistry.There was a little something for everyone, demonstrating how people from the same school have such different ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0A few projects particularly stood out with active students seeking to garner a crowd. One such demonstration was a very detailed art project from Sarah Baker.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cThere is a lot more to know when being an artist then just drawing,\u201d Baker said. \u201cThere is a lot of legal paperwork that students must learn, including how to protect their work and how to advertise it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The purpose of Baker\u2019s project was to teach future Sinclair art students some things she wished she knew when she started. In this modern age of the internet, it is easy for people to steal your artwork, but with the right precautions it can be prevented. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Baker also spoke a little more on the creative side of art. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Lighting is extremely important. You can have a beautiful art piece that you spent days if not weeks on, but when you advertise it to someone with poor lighting they might pick a less artistic piece with the better lighting.\u201d Baker said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Just a little tidbit, Baker\u2019s favorite time to photograph something was on slightly cloudy days, where the light is not too yellow but also not too dark.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Another project that really stood out was on Chemistry in our Daily Lives, by one of Sinclair\u2019s many chemistry students. This project focused on some of the chemical equations in everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0This project featured soap, a common household item that some take for granted every day. Even though soap is used every day before doing anything delicate with hands, most people do not know (including myself) how it is made.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0As it turns out, soap is made when NAOH (Sodium Hydroxide) or KOH (Potassium Hydroxide) reacts with a fat from a plant or an animal. This process is known as Saponification.
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0The history of fencing was also a head turner at the Honors Symposium. Students of course know a lot about common sports, such as baseball or soccer, but this table provided an opportunity to talk about something more exotic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0There was a lot to know about fencing too, the speaker informed an audience, all they way from the medieval origins to the status symbol it became to the fast paced modern fencing of today. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0For instance, the foil used today in fencing has a long history, coming from the traditional short sword used as a side arm way back in the sixteenth century. It has since evolved first into a blunt training weapon, and now a choice for sport.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0What really stuck out about this event was the uniqueness of everyone involved. In a small part of the world comparatively, in a community college fresh different ideas are grown. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0It was intimidating at first, how many different ideas there were, but as the speakers eased everyone into their lives, it became clear how much Sinclair has helped the students bring their differences together, to create and build a future.<\/span><\/p>\n
