WWII And Pre-Impressionistic Art

Decent Essays
Dear P&P Class Members:

Previously I attended Juniata College in Pennsylvania where I received a BA in General History, Art History, and Museum Studies. My academic focus was not only on exhibition making and design but also WWII and pre-Impressionistic art. While at Juniata, I interned at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. where I learned the vast intricacies of the inner museum workings.

Most of my teaching opportunities and experiences have happened outside of a traditional classroom and learning environment. From one-on-one to groups, my teaching has been less on the academic side and more on the life skills side ranging from students half my age to three times my age.

    In a society that is so politically divided, Michael Moore in the 2002 documentary Bowling for Columbine takes a look at social issues such as poverty and racism to see how they affect gun crime in the United States. On the journey to find the causes of gun violence, Moore interviews experts on crime as well as everyday Americans to ask about their opinions on firearm ownership and usage. He eventually concludes that the US’ lack of ammunition restrictions and paranoia are key factors in the ever increasing gun violence that plagues American communities. In Bowling for Columbine, Moore tries to persuade the audience to support gun control and restrictions by attempting to use logic, personal narratives and emotional appeal. Unfortunately, some of his persuasive techniques are ineffective and the documentary itself can also be quite hard to follow.…
