Gabrielle and Morgan- New Perspective 

The combination of these items for our installation represent our pre-pandemic life and now. Last year we were studying abroad in Italy until the pandemic hit, and we were thrilled to be immersing ourselves in a different culture and taking creative arts classes such as wine tasting, Italian, Art History, Museology, etc. The picture of us and the passport represents us traveling throughout Europe, the mask represents our life during this pandemic and the glasses represent how we have a different view/ lense of life now since the pandemic. We chose to name our installation New Perspectives because our lives have changed so much since the pandemic and now we have a different perspective on life.

You can add your own touch to anything; make something simple extremely beautiful while connecting with and protecting nature; embrace the unfinished.

Drawing: Outdated Theory

Image
  Article: Drawing on an Outdated Theory?  by Jess Dorn It is sometimes said that our brain consists of a left hemisphere that excels in intellectual, rational, verbal, and analytical thinking and a right hemisphere that excels in sensory discrimination and in emotional, nonverbal, and intuitive thinking. However, in the normal brain, with extensive commissural interconnections, the interaction of the two hemispheres is such that we cannot dissociate clearly their specialized functions. Questions 1. Why do so many children have problems with drawing? 2. What is Edward's theory? Explain 3. Why is the theory more of a useful analogy at this point?

Collage: The Ethnosphere

  The class will be introduced to National Geographic's Explorer Wade Davis who teaches about what calls the ethnosphere, a word he uses to describe  the imaginative contributions of humanity to the planet. He makes emphasis on people's stories. They are global resources, just like air, water, and green life.  Just like the biosphere, the ethnosphere is also  threatened by rampant modernization and globalization.  ACTIVITY Collage Collage is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.
