The video I choose to watch and write about was Third Ward TX. This really stood out to me from the other videos because it discussed different qualities the city has. I believe that Third Ward is a city where many of its residents are over looked by people in the city next to it, Houston. This video was produced by Andrew Garrison in 2007. In the film the director does an amazing job of highlighting the main problems of Third Ward TX. He also does a good job of highlighting the good things about it. They show the poor part of Texas where they have taken the old houses and renovated them. They made these old run down houses into a beautiful and safe place for people to walk through and view different types of art. The artist set up their …show more content…
I also found in the employment rate section that it said more than half the population was not in the labor force or unemployed. It also states that the crime rate has gone down since the art houses have been provided. I believe that this shows you how art can impact you and lift you up. The crime rates before this were very high over 29.1% of crime was considered violent and 7.3% was firearm related crime. This can be dangerous in a community where there are a lot of children. I believe the director uses a lot of pathos in this video by showing you poor families who have a hard time but still try and make the best out of everything. Another thing that really made me excited about this video was the fact that the art played such a big role in this community. For me art is a pretty big deal in my family. When I was growing up my Grandfather use to paint all the time. He would teach classes to people to help them learn how to paint for free. I feel like this experience I had ties back into the video because this is exactly what the artist do in Third Ward Texas. On a website I found, www.refrence.com, It has an article that says, “Art influences society by changing opinions, instilling values and translating experiences across space and time. Research has shown art affects the fundamental sense of self.” I believe that this is what
Answer: Overall this video discuss the problems when illegal peoples come in to the USA. What kind of the problem they have to face as an illegal. This video shows us as an illegal immigrant we have no right to live in USA. It discuss how hard it is to find a job as an illegal immigrant and working on minimum wages. This film is great if someone want to follow the law and every rule and regulation in united stat. No one is allowed to come in
I really enjoyed this documentary because it made me realize just how lucky I am for the life I was given. It changed my perception of happiness in so many ways. It made me realize that I have more than I need to live a happy life. Other people around the world don’t have as nice of a house or even a house at all to live in and are so much happier than I am and that is something that sparked my attention. For example, the man who lives in India, Manoj Singh, he lives in what looks like poverty to me, but to him, he lives well. There are times where his family are only able to eat rice and he has no air conditioning in his home, but he still remains a very happy man. When he mentioned that there are times where his family only eats rice, it instantly made me feel awful because I have all the food in the world around me and I still take it for granted some days. I also take my family for granted at times. For instance, the man from Louisiana, his family and friends are what make him happy the most. He is simply grateful for them while
Secondly, lets you have a visual of what has happened so you know the events really happened. The illustrations were very vivid which makes it seem as if you were there looking at all the flooding in the area. The audience can see the many houses that are flooded to their roof and roads that flooded out also. The text at the bottom of the video also states that county's such as Richmond County were out of power during the hurricane . This appeals to the audience because most people that watched the video were also out of power also during the hurricane. This makes the audience more intrigued because this was something personal that happened to them so, it grabs their
This video is effective at explaining the current situation and what needs to change. It targets the audience by encouraging the shared values of community. Generally, through out the video positive behavior is demonstrated and encouraged. I think the message was inspiring because even though the residents are faced with a major life altering situation they are here to share their story and information to influence Canadians to consider the need for new energy and the source of energy by showing the world what is being lost. This was best illustrated by Boon’s statement, when they tell the audience about what their future looks likes, if the project proceeds. They created an effective image looking out their homes window at
There was a grand impact on me due to the video, for it influenced me to acknowledge and see the cruelty that there is throughout the world due to racial oppression. I believe it is concerning that not everyone is aware of dangerous circumstances such as being assaulted due to your ethnicity, race, or religion. Racism is not seen as much in the valley as it is in other parts of the nation; therefore, it shocked me to realize what individuals would be willing to do to feel or be predominant of others. Although it was exasperating to see members of Antifa, also known as Anti-fascist, being shot and attacking white supremacists, the video made me reflect on how this world would be better if everyone accepted each other for who they are. White
The purpose of this film was to show people that there are people that look normal speak normal and eat normal that are homeless and also to try and tell people that even a rich person can become homeless. The audience would be adult, young adult. The techniques that were used are; filmed interviews and filmed living experiences on the streets and interacting with the homeless people and talking to the audience via the camera. The film was very successful in communicating with the audience. Everyone that I know who has watched it was shocked and also interested in how they lived.
The piece of art that I decided to talk about on this discussion is a painting by an artist that goes by the name Brionya James; she is a Texas born and raised artists and creates various paintings. Her painting that I selected is a painting the depicts all the things that took place when Harvey occurred; her painting is title “Still We Rise: Heroes of Harvey”. I feel like this painting was important to society, the Houston area especially because it shows how even though you are going through hardships, you can still rise from it. It shows how people from different backgrounds, cultures, social classes came together. I thought the painting showcase the pain, the hurt and coming together for the greater good. She included an insert to explain
Which social phenomenon or problem did the video touch upon? If it is more than one, mention the most important to you. The main social phenomenon that the video pertained to was child poverty, also known as a “multidimensional” poverty. There are plenty of ways poverty can be translated but in the simplest terms, poverty means not having enough to satisfy your basic human needs of food, clothing and shelter.
The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.
This video showed me a lot of things. Some moments that stood out to me were the murder of Emmett Till, the trial of the people who did it, the videos of the police attacking marchers. The murder stood out to me because he was my age and did nothing wrong and he was kidnapped, tortured and killed. The trail stood out to me because the accused were so relaxed and were laughing. Also, because they were found innocent. This really hurt me because Emmett looked like and alien after what they did to him. The police hurt me inside because they had a right to protest and a right to gather but they brutally killed and injured many. The emotions I got from the video was sad, solemn yet hopeful. It showed the tragedy and the crimes people did to the
For me the most compelling or powerful about the video is how Masajo and his classmates exposed themselves in such a dangerous place just to help needy people at different provinces that they even climbed the mountain just to reach it’s tip. Also they exposed different activities along with the people in that provice like cooking, cleaning, dancing with bonfire.
During the video, I had a number of different feelings about what I saw. One being sadness for those who have to go to food shelves to survive, the ones who no matter how hard they tried can't find a way out of poverty because it just continues to follow them everywhere that they go. I felt sorry for those who have lost loved ones, and those whose families flat out fell apart. And especially those who had a family to take care of that couldn't. Those are the people that I feel bad for because they were counted on the most. I also found it difficult to wrap my head around how much poverty that there is in the world, I used to only think that there was just a handful but I now know that's not the case.
The least I liked about this material was how unfair the border patrols treat human beings. The second video is revolting how border patrols sexual abuse woman trying to cross back to the US. I didn’t like about the videos how many people had died, trying to cross and the border patrols don’t communicate with the families about the people who died. My point of view of this videos shows how nobody cares, how many Mexicans died, some of them they were trying to have a better life. These stories about how young people dying and families increasing upsets me. In my perspective people don’t want to live in Mexico because Mexico’s economy is miserable. I’m hoping people can created more programs to help all these illegal people with food, opportunities,
This video was about crime and deviance and how they relate to our society. The video went into detail of what makes criminals do the crimes that they commit. The video also explains that why certain things are seen as a crime. There was a lot of good points in this video that explains a lot of things that people that are not in a sociology class would not understand.
As they say “with great power come great responsibility.” People must become aware that although art can empower and cause positive movement it can also have the power to do the opposite. Art is not meant to be chaotic, it’s usually meant to be appreciated, and acknowledged for its beauty and image. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A certain art painting can bring a community together, such as a religious piece. Art is in every corner, from painting, sculptures, movies to even video games. We must learn to intake the talent and effort put into every piece and with caution use art for better purposes such as informing and empowering for
