(HW 39) 2 kool 4 skewl...

Part A:
Questions:
-Why is our life consumed with school? (meaning why Monday-Friday from 8:30 until 3:10)
- Will everything I am being taught benefit me in the future? Do we really need to know the Pythagorean theorem?
- Who thought of the idea of school? How and who determines the budget for each school? Why are we so "low budget"?

Ideas:
-In my opinion, I like going to school because we learn new things. But at this point in my life I am getting a little annoyed and frustrated with it. I have been in school since pre-k, i think it is time for a break. But I realize that being college bound I do not want to take a break because some people don't go back.
-Everyone acts different ways depending the setting they are in. In this case, in school their are people who make a scene to get attention, wear certain clothing to reveal their "great" bodies, and even stick their nose into other peoples problems just to know the business. We encounter one of those roles in one way or another.

Part B:

For me, sports is a big or major role in my school experience. All the friends I hang out with play a sport. As for a school experience I look forward to playing these sports because it helps me just not think about anything else other than winning. In volleyball I often use it as a time to relieve stress by hitting the ball hard. I feel like I am "cool" with everyone in the grade because our grade is close as a whole but yet I still separate myself by being with people who play sports. What I'm trying to get at is that their is one main category that we all have in common but within that there are many sub categories that spilt us up into our own groups.

(HW 38) video response...

Here is our video :) villa is THEE MAN!

Untitled from Cloe on Vimeo.

We wanted to show cool in our perspective. So we showed Anias playing basketball with his boys, then Chloe sitting and looking around then having an interaction with Lauren and Esther. Followed by myself playing volleyball with Esther and also going against Villa and his team. Then lastly, Granit playing ping pong and talking to Marco. I also think along with Chloe that Anias part is the "coolest". He was able to capture himself playing basketball with one hand, as well as talk to his boys and make little comments. I hope people will realize that no matter what group of friends we are from that we are all connected through something we think is cool or like. For example, the boys play basketball and sometimes use their skills to show off to the girls or their friends. If you watch the video you will notice the little details people do to seem cool such as arguing with one another over a call or like Wexler trying to mediate and being given the chance to use his whistle for once. :)

The process for making this video was fairly easy except it was hard to capture our perspective without so much movement. As a group we decided that we wanted to use the gym to show how we and others try to be cool or do what is the cool "norm". It was a group project but we used my camera to shoot it and Chloe edited it.

Yes, I think that making art is cool to me. I enjoy making videos and watching others videos. I think art can be cool to everyone because its your art you make it how you want. It how you feel expressed in a different way. It could be videos, pictures, painting and so on but it captures your thoughts.
