Wade Guyton's The Room Moved

Improved Essays
In the article it talks about encountering differences in a worldly view. The main goal is to allow children to explore the views of the world through the eyes of others and their art. One of the art pieces in the Dikeou gallery recreated this idea perfectly, the piece was called Homeless. The display itself was an airplane chair with bags and other things underneath. It was meant to convey this idea of people leaving and going which was this kind of economical view of the work itself. I think it was meant make you think about people in the world coming and going. There was another piece called 100 which was pictures of people from the ages 0 to 100. The artists idea was to allow his audience to find there picture that represents the age they are at and think about how the picture relates to their life in that year. I think this can go with investigating community themes because you can relate your own life and experiences to the person you see in the picture at the same age as you which allows you to explore the world of others. …show more content…
The artist has it there to interact with his audience. In order to go through to the next door you had to climb over this large block. This related to the play principle because it encourages interaction with the materials and being able to creatively form your materials. It allows children to see this playful side of art, that’s not just creating a piece that you won’t ever keep. It builds kids imagination as well because they have to think outside of the box to create something that is interactive with their

    I found it to be a rather profound graphic to explain some of the very basic issue that face our ELL population. My group was tasked with looking at terms such as norms, rules, gender roles and festivals. Using that analogy of an iceberg (which appeals the science teacher in me) where only 10% of the what you see makes up the complete structure this can also translate into how we interact with our ELL students. One such example i have seen with that this year was a with a student of Lebanese descent. Two of the concepts such as gender roles and expectations can help explain many of the issues that she is having this school year.…

    In Tim Parks’ “Why Readers Disagree”, Parks argues that great art helps the audience to pay tributes to their old perspective. Parks mentioned the theory of “system theorists see people as constantly taking the position developed within the family into the larger world” in his essay, and he agreed with it. This theory highlights how people take their positions developed over time within smaller communities into the greater ones. This action is what caused the difference between people’s perspective. And now, how can art relate to that?…

    I think a domestic violence history should definitely be a factor in child custody and visitation. My main reason for feeling this way is not to punish the parent or guardian, but solely for the safety of the child. According to this week’s lecture, the risk of children being abused is higher in a domestic violence home. Also 30 to 60 % of domestic violence abusers also abuse children. (Black, 2015, Slide 17) I also think a domestic violence history should be a factor in child custody and visitation because the right measures and precautions needs to be set in place.…

    There is only so much a news article can say, but a photograph can bring emotion to you that changes your outlook on that situation. For example, a very famous photo by Richard Drew called ‘The Falling Man’, a photograph of the 9/11 attack witnessing the moment a workman from the towers plummeted to the ground after jumping. Even though this event was worldwide renowned, many people were unaware of the actual emotion associated with the event, the terror and the destruction that happened on that date. The different and most impacting part of this image is that from this event the most widely known photographs were of the planes or the towers, whereas Drews photograph was of the people, which creates a whole new level of compassion and emotion…
