One idea I have for my article in project 4 is to use the topic about stereotyping in the media. I'll interview movie goers and movie lovers as well as civil activists.
I'll analyze past and present films as well as television.
This is just the beginning of my idea; a work in progress.

Artist Statement Rewrite
A Day In The Plight of a Vegan
This image represents a world consumed by carnivorous appetites and one person stands to face their opponent in the wake of their personal choice. This piece is metaphoric since the carnivorous appetite is represented by a giant meat monster and the vegan is represented by a lone hero with a carrot shaped sword. My inspiration comes from a metaphoric work by Seok-Hoon Jeong from Korea. In that peice, there was a sign bearing the statement STOP FOREST CRIME in big bold letters. The sign was merged into bark shavings at the bottom edge with a 'bleeding' tree stump overlapping the image. This piece helped me to ponder the potential I had with composing a work that expressed my personal choice in becoming a vegan.
When I was five years old my brothers and my mom were already on a healthy path. They began learning more and more of the issues faced with daily meat consumption; parasitic agents exist within meats if not properly cooked, the puss from slaughter could still leave residue on the meats, etc. Before I learned any of that, however, I was simply offered five bucks to “Leave the pig alone”. So at five years of age I became a vegan and five dollars richer. I have no regrets and will never go back.

Project 3
I've decided to revise my first project since the second project is so vague and confusing. The first project gives room to express my individuality and I don't have to conform to a specific medium. In my revision I'll keep the theme of my choice in becoming a vegetarian, but I've decided to do it in illusration. The drawing will represent my personal feelings as a vegan in a world consumed by carnivorous appetites. I will be working solo to complete this task.
Here's a work that inspired my revision.

Its designed to provoke thought on the way the image is perceived.
I want to do this with my art and make it into a sort of metaphor.

This just goes to show you that conservatives just want to conserve old views and values!

My Vote
I voted early and my vote went to Barack Obama. I have to say that I am proud and confident in the decision I made. Obama knows what is best for the country and he just makes politics plain, simple and fair. The United States will benefit greatly with Obama as president. That old nonsense of trickle down wealth will finally stop. The middle working class will at last get the tax cuts needed to bring the country back up to speed and and we'll have a president that is able to sit down and negotiate with other world leaders.

Martian Blog
It is truly astounding to observe the inhabitants of this stand alone planet. None are more astounding to observe than the humans! I have seen them do some strange yet fascinating rituals like 'go to work' or 'watch the game'. I myself would like to partake in the odd pastime of the 'Playstation 3'. Even though our race invented the technology for this console and its quite out dated by our standards, I'd still like to sample this little creation theirs.
Even with all the wonders and brilliance I've witnessed of humans I'm still baffled by one plunder of mankind. Perhaps the most absolute strangest activity I've seen of mankind is 'War'. This has to be the biggest mistake of this species! I'm sure that everyone on the planet would like to live coopertiveyl amongst each other, but the violence confuses me to no end! I've witnessed intergalactic battles between planets, but never have I seen war amongst the inhabitants of the same planet. The point is that I'm a little worried about what you're all doing, fascinating as you may be. You share the same Earth, don't ruin it! We may have to intervene at some point....
Why am I so concerned you might ask? Thats another story.

Whale Rider Questions
1. Koro did not recognize Pai's natural attraction to the sea. Pai also wanted to become a whale rider initially, and Koro disregarded that from the start. Also when pai recovered the necklace
2. Rawiri had become closer to his family again. He spent more time with his daughtter and became more empathetic of his father's feelings.
3. This scene showed the strength and determination that Pai has even though everyone else saw a bleak situation for the whale.
4. in the hospital, Koro is by Pai's bedside and allows her to wear the necklace. Koro even says the prayer for her.
5. The waka is signifcant because it creates the rights to passing for the new whale rider.
The part of this scene that struck me the most was that it showed the collectiveness of the community. Furthermore all of the direct whale rider's family were on the boat, despite the turbulance their family had to getting there.
