Social Justice Print

     In art 2 I learned about a technique in art called printing. It’s basically where you get a piece of clay block then you use a tool to crave it out into a drawing you want to print on. Then we each talked about social justice and problems that are going on earth right now. My topic was about environmental damage which is a topic I really cared about. At a young age I go to visit my grandparents often in the southern part of Thailand and I remember the abundant amount of trees. No tall buildings and not a lot of cars. At night I could also see all the stars and sometimes in the morning there would be fog outside of my house. So those images got stuck if me and now that I have grown up, I can still remember those images and often compare them to now. In many parts of the world deforestation has become a big problem. People are becoming more greedier and less caring about the environment. Without trees there’s less oxygen and more carbon dioxide. Which causes global temperatures to rise which leads to many more problems. My purpose for making this art is to get whoever that see this to eventually come to a realization that climate change and global warming is real.

Appropriation Art Reflection

In art class we have to chose an artwork to do an appropriation of, meaning just recreating the art in your own way. The artwork I chose is Starry Night painted by Vincent Van Gogh, how I appreciated this art I made all the sky red and the whole pic into a whole blood red color overall. The meaning of my appropriated art is the end of times, like the bible has talk about it many verse and I just want to represent what It will look like.

The redness just to represent to blood in the sky and look scary and the town burning in fire and the one is left in the world.

Street Art

As its name suggests street art is art that is created in the public area. There are two types of street art. Just normal street art and graffiti. Street art is visual art that is done in a public area and is legal. On the other hand, graffiti is also kind of like street art, but graffiti people painted words or names across a wall in a public area and graffiti is illegal in some country.

The two main figures, that influencing people and inspired people to do graffiti is Robbo, and Banksy. Both of them are very famous for their work. Both of them are also famous for the Graffiti war that both of them are going against each other.

 

Color Theory

Color Theory is a foundation of all color and the scale of colors. Color theory refers to all colors in the color wheel.

The color theory and the color wheel let us understand more about all the colors. Which allow us to create a color scheme and allow us to combine colors and to make new ones.

There are many types of color schemes.

Womens right

What I have learned so far from listening to my friend's presentation about women's rights in the world is that women in the different country are receiving less right than men. This depends on the government of each country. Most of the country women are getting less money per hour than men, women have worse jobs than men, women receive less attention in society. In my opinion, the worst country to live in if you are women is Afghanistan, Women's right in Afghanistan is, women have no rights at all. They have to ask their husband, dad, or if they don't have a husband or a dad they have to ask their son. Which means that women need permission to do anything. Women can't interact with men unless they get permission, women can't go anywhere without their husband. Women don't have the rights to own properties. Before women in Afghanistan can't even drive but they recently changed the rules. Now let's move on to some of the best countries to live in as women. The best country to live in as a woman is Sweden, Denmark, and Canada. Women in those countries receive almost the same rights as men, in some situations even better. Women in those countries are treated very nicely.

The Giver

What I have read so far in The Giver.

In Ms.Maria's class, I'm reading a novel called The Giver. This book is about a boy named Jonas in a perfect world. What I have read so far in this novel is Jonas is chosen to be the of receiver memories. His job is to keep and remember the memories that the old receiver has. The old receiver that Jonas to call him the giver. The giver transmits his memories by touching Jonas's back. Transmitting memories is very tiring. In this book, there were many imageries for example when the giver transmits the memories of riding a sled and snow. The author use imageries to describe the feeling of the giver's hand, snow, the snow falling on his face, wind hitting his face, and the cold air around him. I think the theme of this book is the importance of memories.

The Enlightenment

The Enlightenment Reflection
During S.S class in Ms.Maria's class, I learn about the enlightenment and important people in the enlightenment. I learned about John Locke and his ideas. The enlightenment was a time where people stop believing in a supernatural being and start to use logic and science, this made a huge impact on the Catholic church. The enlightenment causes a huge impact on the world and causes better life for everyone. The enlightenment affects our lives today in many ways, this causes a major impact on the scientific world, it causes many artistist to be famous and there are new religion.
