Yayoi Kusama Reflection
Inspired by the work of Yayoi Kusama, an artist known for her playful artwork, we wanted to activate a space that is ordinarily seen as a place for quiet study. We used colorful pom-poms to alter this study area and to convey a cheerful atmosphere that contrasts with its usual industrial ambience. The colors we chose were purposeful to further communicate a mischievous feeling that will hopefully bring a smile to your face during these stressful last weeks of

    Ronald Takaki’s goal in writing A Different Mirror: a History of Multicultural America was to show that American history may not be as black and white as most people think it is. He wants to inform people that our history has more than one perspective to it. Like when he points out that even though he was born in the U.S, yet when people see him they assume he’s not American. He wants us to consider what makes someone an American our appearance or, were we can trace our lineage? He is trying to make us see that “white” is not American but many other races are also what make up America. We’re a big melting pot of many to make a whole.…

    Portraying the connotations of the color red is painless, blood, war, anger, etc., but I wanted to challenge myself for this second piece. I chose the color yellow because it is predominantly positive. It represents youth, joy, and sunshine, yet until recently I have always viewed it rather negatively. The right hue almost evokes a sense of nausea, and so I used this feeling as the concentration of the…

    Throughout this semester many things have been new experiences for the entire class. Some met new interesting people on the other hand some people learned new experiences that will be used throughout the rest of this next semester. Whether it was watching a video on the computer or reading through the Bedford book, many new techniques were learned, as well as new information being learned. Some day’s everything may have not been all together but everything still managed to work out for the entire class, or the one’s that stuck it out through “craziness” of being a new student or having a new teacher. This “craziness was definitely well worth it now that the semester is over and the new semester is approaching.…

    Furthermore, the books contain an emotional depth that draws the viewer in. The illustrations portray a sense of dark, yet humble beauty with several layers of meaning and rich sentiment. Tan’s distinguished mixed media illustrations contain an infusion of riveting metaphors, fantasy, subtle symbolism and a mixture of art techniques ranging from cut paper collages to surrealist paintings. The combination of figurative language and imagery communicates to the reader a strong sense of emotion and feeling, yet the meanings are left to ones interpretation and imagination. It is a journey of self discovery.…

    Always Smiling, always is a piece is by Russell Noto created in 2014, and is located on the first floor of the Jen library. This piece jumped out at me for many reasons; it had this complex and thought out color scheme, you had light and happy colors in one and then ominous dark colors to really pop out against the white wall background, and with it consisting of two parts you had to do a double take to ponder if they were just obscenely close, or if these very different works of art were actually one whole in the greater layout of everything. After you get to spend some time truly appreciating this piece the overall idea of how people feel we must hide certain emotions becomes more and…

    One corner is our reading and quiet corner we have placed big cushions sofa chair and a bookcase with some additional books put onto the chair so this becomes a soft and cosy area for the children and so they realise that they can help themselves to the resources we also place some of the puppets and soft toys such as teddies on the cushions, this then enables the area to be inviting for the children. We also have a craft station where there are scissors, glue, colouring pencils, Sellotape and craft boxes so they can make projects on their own or with their peers. We always consider the impact of a colour that then reflects on a child’s emotions, research has shown that the colour yellow is recognised faster than any other colour, this colour also evokes spontaneity, and is joyful, optimistic, warm and signifies communication as well as being bright and happy. We need to make sure the room has a variety of different and stimulating toys, and that there is enough space for all the children to move around comfortably and have access around the room/rooms indoors and outdoors in the play area. The room should always be well lit and everything visible so the children and young people can see properly and communicate with each other…

    I conducted my observation in the reading room of McCain Library, also known as the nap room by many Agnes Scott students. The reading room is a long rectangular space that is very open and has one wall covered in ceiling to floor windows. There are a few paintings and a large fireplace, with a big sofa right in front of it, at the end of the room. The majority of the couches are faced directly towards the windows, where students can people watch while studying. The rest of the room is decorated with several chairs and matching ottomans. There are a few end tables with lamps and coffee cups and students’ keys sitting on top of them. There are also two large dining room tables with four chairs around them, but no one seems to be sitting at the table.…

    Throughout high school we have always been tasked with different materials to read; whether it be Shakespearean texts, short stories, poems, or just books in general. No matter what though, I love to read. So any text I take in, I am always eager to absorb the words. The texts I have read at the time may have just felt like assignments, but now as I am older, I can see the lessons to be learned within them and how they were a major aspect as to how I view situations in the world around me. I cannot pick a favorite text that I have read throughout my grades nine to twelve years, but I will review a few that made an impact on me.…

    First, I gave you five rhyme pieces which you had to colour in. You had a selection of dye, crayons, and coloured pencils to use. You chose to use green, red, purple, blue and brown. You especially liked using the brown colour. I was really maere (impressed) that you coloured in all your rhyme pieces. Your ability to concentrate on a task that interests you for a long duration has really increased. The colouring in processes took you quite a while to complete. Mahi pai Grace hoki te tutonu mó te taua wá roa. (Grace, well done for concentrating for such a long time.)…

    The “Pimpernel” wallpaper was designed by William Morris in 1876. It is assumed to be one of Morris’ personal favourite designs as it hung in the dining room at the Kelmscott House (William Morris Pimpernel (1876) wallpaper [sa]). This classic design of Morris is of a “floral trellis with circular shapes and a strong symmetrical pattern with the leaves” (Morris Archive Wallpapers [sa]). The following analysis of the “Pimpernel” wallpaper design deal with the elements of design in order to highlight the principles of design used and how this relates to the aims of the Arts and Crafts Movement.…

    At the beginning of this unit I knew little to nothing about the world outside the boundaries created by my mother, which is a mile radius of my house. I cared an infinitesimal amount about things that didn't affect me directly. However, that changed drastically after reading The Story of Zahra and also after the presentation of my fellow peers. The aspect that caught my attention the most was the treatment of women, just because of the fact that I can relate to it the most. I have always known that women were inferior in comparison to men, that was common sense to me and about 50% of the world population. Despite the fact that I knew the struggle most women in other countries have to endure I was naïve to the exact extent that they had to struggle. Reading The Story of Zahra took some of that ignorance I had and widen up my perception greatly.…

    While the walls were decorated with artwork, the tone, or mood, of the school made the place seem dreary. An enormous reason for this was the principal, who would only leave her office in order to yell at students. As one can imagine, the kids were not fond of the principal. They would often mock her voice when she came on the loud speaker. Her vigilance made my classmates more willing to act out, and was counteractive. This created a harsh, or uncomfortable learning environment. Children feared the principal’s punishments, and I believe a student should never feel fear in a learning environment. Therefore, unfortunately, we did not enjoy waking up every morning to go to school. Overall, I believe this showed in the schools…

    When creating a positive learning environment, a teacher should consider the classroom ambiance. "The ambiance of a space affects the feelings or mood that a person gets when entering. These moods and feelings are influenced by order, color, sound, light, arrangement, and classroom decorations" (Armstrong 2015, pg. 133). The classroom environment that I would like to…
