I liked the story this picture gave when you listened. It was about a woman’s childhood christmas’ with her family. She described how much fun she had opening presents and leaving cookies for Santa Claus the night before. As for the picture itself, I can’t exactly say I know what to make of it. It could be a gift box, but what about the stray round line? what purpose does it serve?

This was one of the advertisement that stood out to me because of what we see in the present. However, this goes way back in the 1980s as to where there was a lot of risking rates of drug use and it prompted the war on drugs. Looking at it now, it makes me think that this is supposed to be a good sign as to where they’re trying to partner up with the youngsters into reducing the use of drugs at a young age. They want to make a change for all the lives of the new generation to not follow and go off into the wrong path.

This specific exhibition was composed of a wide variety of artwork/collages of works put together to illustrate and tell a story. (From what I can remember), when listening to the story behind this picture, it was a Muslim man talking about what Muslims in the past generations have done as precedents for their children but also other Muslims as well. They hope that their children will continue forwards with what they have done, and if not at least they know that they tried.

In this collage, you see the contrast from the white text on a black background which gives it more depth. The exhibition tells the lives and work of Muslims in Brooklyn and the other many ethnicities, cultures, and nationalities. Kameelah Janan Rasheed wants us to engage with all of the Muslim experiences in Brooklyn. Through this college, it shows you normal English and Muslim text and spread out to convey a message.

What I found really interesting and I would like to learn more about is “The Black Panther”Party .Based on Dr. P. Newton “The Black Panther Party emphasized black pride and self protection against racism that permeated the American law the medical profession-the practices of which Panthers feared it would lead to the genocide of black people. This is a very interesting topic for me and id like to go more into depth with this topic not only was it history but some of these problems are still occurring nowadays such as racism . In the image above you can see fetuses and the word “Sterilization”. African American and other women of color were forced to get sterilized. This was big issue.

This advertisement inspired me because it has something to do with smoking. The poster says, “別讓你寶貴的生命在煙霧中消逝” which means don’t let your precious life fade away in the smoke. This poster did stand up to me since my dad used to smoke and my grandpa on the other, he still smokes which is heartbreaking. I found this poster somewhat surprising because it is the only thing in Chinese. Nothing else in the field trip has words in Chinese except this one in particular unexpectedly. After seeing this advertisement poster I feel like my grandpa needs to call the number on the bottom since he does need help and I can’t do a thing.

This one piece of art during the Field Trip caught my attention because of the shapes and the black and white spaces. It creates shapes of stone steps leading to a cave or some sort of shelter, which was really interesting. It also kind of symbolizes someone’s path towards something that they feel like home and needs to accomplish. There is also lights in the black space as if its the light towards success.

I found this skylight interesting because of how colorful the glass piece is all around except for the middle. Another thing that caught my eye is how geometric the design is that it gives off a sense of abstraction but not too much. Lastly the pattern that is shown going around , I thought was very nice by how the design repeats.

There were so many pieces of work that were amazing in their own ways, but the only one that caught my eye was this one. The repetition of shapes of colors stood out. This is a prime example of positive negative space. Overall i learned a lot from this field trip, really opened my eye to other perspectives.

There were many surprising things on this field trip. But to me this coloring book was the most surprising. To be honest I was mostly concerned about who this coloring was for. Is it for adults? Or is it for children? If it’s for children I understand why because they are informing children at an early age about the dangers of H.I.V, though a fun way but are they introducing it too early. Another thing that surprised me was the time period this coloring book was made in. It was made in 1987. In the 80s H.I.V was just hitting NY and the fact that they made a coloring book to raise awareness of the outbreak is really interesting to me.
