I'm three posts behind so this is going to be a long entry. =D ready?! okay GOOO!
LKC WORKSHOP-
I'm happy we got to go to LKC for a workshop, I'm apart of their tuesday study halls so i know it well. The workshop itself was very interesting because a lot of the information was from a general perspective, not just of filipinos. 1968 was one hell of a year. I knew nothing much about that year before I came to SFSU. I had no idea people were able to join together to fight for their rights-- To see that, that many people were able to unite for a cause brings a sense of hope. We still have a very long way to go though, we can't forget about the reasons why those people came together in the first place. My pluses to this workshop would definitely be the pictures and power point presentation, as well as having some of the sources used handy-- like the books. Things we could work on, like everyone has mentioned was the timing of the workshop, this goes for all of them so far, i feel like we never have enough time and everything is rushed.
ART & ACTIVISM-
I'm always inspired whenever i see pieces of art, which is why i liked this workshop. I enjoyed the mural walk around the campus, and reading about what each mural stands for. I think that we need things like this around our school because it gives each student something to be proud of, and it gives us a little representation. I do think that since it was called art and activism, that we needed some more art and not just visual art, but other kinds as well. I think we could have seen more pieces throughout the power point, especially as examples to some of the words and ideas that we were presented with. I do wish we had time at the end for the activity, but maybe we could do it some other time, perhaps during another kick-it? anyway, i was very inspired to keep on being creative whether with words, pictures, music, dance or whatever. everything is some sort of art right?
IMPERIALISM AND GLOBALIZATION-
I just want to start by saying that the activity at the end of the workshop was my favorite part, because i really liked the picture that my group came up with =D Our picture was of a beast, inspired by the quote "the belly of the beast" and there were people inside the beast breaking free, through education and activism. As you can tell, i enjoy drawing pictures. I almost cried during the reflection, when talking about how everything affects our families. It always gets to me when talking about personal family issues because the only reason i am in school is to get a well paying job help my family out, as with anyone else who is out there working, or trying to work. Everything is done to help the family out. This workshop was again done with a power point presentation so maybe we should mix it up a little bit and try something different?! I guess thats my only critique.
its always an inspiration to be learning with you guys...
I worked really hard on this weeks creative piece and i've been working on this tag for a while so its still not colored in yet but i wanted to share it...i don't really want to explain all of it so i'll let you guys analyze it and what not. =D go ahead! It says SPEAK, and thats pretty much all i'm going to tell you. Let me know what you guys think!
