My name is Alexis Gayle. I am 19 years old. I live in Jamaica, Queens and culturally my family is from Jamaica. I am a junior in college, but a sophomore here at BMCC. I am a Studio Art Major with interests in being in the Interior Design field. I love all arts including dancing, music, and other performing arts. Ever since I was 9 years old I became infatuated with fashion and modeling. Even though my main interest was in styling of outfits and makeup, I realized that I had so much talent to discover in myself. As I grew older, I started to draw, sketch, and take photos of nature and scenery. Then emerged my interest in architecture and structuring my own homes by sketching blueprints and designing layouts in high school. In art, you have a lot of control over how creative you want to be. My goals for this class is to gain as much insight into the aspects opening my mind to various uses of design in Asian American history. Even though I have no experience with learning Asian American history, I am excited and interested in seeing the kinds of past events and current events that occur. These events could involve controversial topics that can spark a discussion of interest and I would love to gain insight into that history. In terms of writing, I’ve had a great experience overall from high school and I feel confident that I will use my skills in the researching component of the class as well.

Hi Alexis! Im a sophomore in BMCC as well! You sound like a very creative and unique person. I too would like to gain insight about this part in history. I think its great that you want to explore Asian American history, hopefully the knowledge serves you well in your pursuit of cultural creativity. I love looking at architecture however Im not much of a drawer lol. Just an admirer. Maybe a few years from now it’ll be your designs that will leave me breathless. Good Luck sis. #hotgirlsemester2020
Nice to meet you Alexis, I would honestly love to see your work if ever given the chance. I really enjoy art as well and have (very briefly) tried my hand at designing architecture and fashion before. It was honestly very fun even though I wasn’t the best at it. I also really enjoy performing arts but don’t engage in them myself and I hope you can draw inspiration from many aspects of Asian culture. It would be amazing to see how you interpret each aspect and make it your own. Look forward to working with you in this class and stay safe.
