1) How did you enjoy the film? What stood out for you?
This film was very toughing, emotional, and heartbreaking. It made me wonder how fortune and privileged we are here in Canada, Toronto. I enjoyed this film by realizing how much we have and dont appreciate it. The think that stood out to me was that the lady Zana Briski wanted to share her knowledge of photography to the little kids who aren’t able to get a proper education.
2) Did you learn anything new about photography, life, people? What?
I learned that people have a lot of emotions which they can not talk about to there pears. Which then they express there emotions through art, in this case through photography.
3) How do you think the world needs to change? How important is this?
The world that we live in isn’t perfect, we all have flaws and things that we can improve. The world needs to change many things, which include the environment, health, business, crime, food etc. We need to improve the environment by keeping the streets clean to prevent pollution. Even if people don’t have homes to live in, still can live outside and know that it is safe enough to not to caugh a disease from pollution.
4) What are you willing to do today to be a part of that change?
I’m willing to take my valuable time to clean up the streets of Toronto for a more cleaner environment. In all my 15 years of living, I’ve always despised people who insist in polluting the earth. I’m ready to take action for our mistakes. I’ll be waiting here with a garbage bag, gloves until people realize what is happening to mother earth.
5) Do you know a good song/rap/poem with good lyrics about change in the world? Post a link or lyrics to share it with us.
6) Pick a non-profit organization that is important to you. Why is this important to you? Do they have a website?
The Walt Disney Company is a profit organization which really does make a difference in the environment. I really believe in this organization even though they are a profit organization. The money that is donated to the organization goes toward the Invest with EnvironmentalityTM . Which then they use the money to plant trees, picks up garbage, and encourages young children to older people to lend a hand. This is very important to me because I have a great believe in helping out when it come to the environment. All the waste we don’t recycle and throw around on earth isn’t right, because it will all come back and haunt use in the future. It will cause drastic climate change, and cause other non normal effects right here on earth. ( I know this is suppose to be a Non-Profit Organization but I truly believe in this one because Media Arts is a way to express your feelings and this is the only way so people will understand how much it means to me about an cleaner environment.)
7) What ideas do you have for media arts projects that we could do individually or as a class to help contribute to these organizations that are important to us?
We could make posters, banners so that the school can get involved in knowing what is happening to mother earth. Then, we should have a day to take action on the conflict that we are trying to solve.
