Modern Art Movement

In my presentation the cultural movement that gave rise to Feminist Art is the Feminist Theory, which is the understanding of gender inequality. My art movement has an influence on the arts and communication industry because now women have more job opportunities. Artists contribute and fulfill a social need in their artwork in many ways. For example, the "Guerrilla Girls" showed facts in their work. " Do women have to have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum? Less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art Sections are women, but 85% of the nudes are female." I think Feminist Art is very powerful and I like the fact that the art is showing some very important messages.

"Point and Shoot" by Martha Rosler 2008

I chose this art piece because I get the message that women are categorized into joining the model industry when there's more important roles out there, like being a soldier for the country. I do think a single artist with many pieces has the ability to persuade someone's opinion on women. In feminist artwork there is meaning and if someone explained it to another person than maybe they'll change their mind. In my opinion technology advances aided the cultural impact of skilled art production by having more digital media artwork pieces. The more advance technology gets the more advance the artwork gets. The use of technology also helped the distribution of the pieces worldwide.

Workplace Safety

The project goal of the safety video was to show proper sitting, standing, and usage of stairs. My teammates, Michael and Tara, are very friendly and fun people to work with. I'm happy I got to be in their group. In the group, we had similar roles to contribute which was filming each other's scenes and helping create the script and visual plan. I feel like I deserve recognition for giving my best effort because I directed most of the scenes and gave some good ideas. My team also gave their best effort and I couldn't have come up with the ideas without them.

The biggest "takeaway" in this project would be the stair scene where Michael falls down the stairs because after our video played the audience remembered that particular scene. I learned more about communication in developing this video because when there was a new scene we would talk to each other about what angle would look better in the video and how each actor would react in the ways appropriate to the audio being said. Our highest score was on "Entertainment Value" and I agree with this because even my teammates laughed at some parts of the video. Our lowest score was under "Clarity of Audio" which I agree and disagree on because only the beginning had a stumble, but I don't really believe it deserved our lowest score. The confines that came with this project like wind, the iPad, and some windy areas we worked around. We moved around to find the quietest place to film our audio. The cameraman/women would use the shooting stances to make the footage more steady. I think our team could've had more visual shots to increase our production value of our finished video.
