The Outsiders, my First Winter Exhibition

How can the outsiders teach us about worldview? Well to answer that I need to learn a little bit about worldview and read the Outsiders. We read the Outsiders in and out of class and came to class with a discussion questions and talked about the chapters we read.To learn about worldview, I did a worldview MindNode with all our main aspects of worldview, a You VS Who character analysis on that characters main traits and worldview, a movie poster with our 2 chosen aspects of worldview, and our tableau with our 2 chosen aspects of worldview that we presented at our winter exhibition.

Now to know how to present those 2 aspects of worldview at the winter exhibition. First we had to know our scene, my scene was johnny dying in the hospital we had to do this scene in the 1960 and in 2021. Next we had to distribute roles I was a doctor, Keaton was johnny, Kai was a nurse, Gwenyth was Ponyboy, Dylan was Dally, and Jessie was Johnny spirit in the 1960s and a nurse in 2021. Then, we had to figure out the 2 aspects of worldview we were going to use and we picked values and time. Values representing how Ponyboy and dally come to see Johnny in his last moments and how Johnny picked his friends over family and time representing how Johnny died due to the medical equipment used and and in our 2021 version he was saved due to new technology and new medical equipment used.

In our first tableau in 1960 we had Nurse writing on a clipboard, Ponyboy crying, Johnny laying flat and dead, doctor (me) checking Johnny’s heart rate with a stethoscope, Dally kicking a chair because he was mad, and Johnny’s spirit standing on a chair.

In our second tableau in 2021 we had Nurse #1 writing on an iPad, Ponyboy happy and taking a photo with Johnny, Johnny sitting up in his hospital bed, Doctor checking on Johnny, Dally checking on Johnny, Nurse #2 talking to Nurse #1.

Here is my worldview mindnode and proof to my learning about worldview

Here is my You V.S. Who character analysis as another proof to my learning about worldview.

so, overall in this project I learned about worldview and what it is, how it affects us, and the worldview of characters in the book The Outsiders. I learned that worldview is the goggles through which we see the world and it affects everyone differently and we all see the world in a different way which will affect how we live and talk and how we live in general. 
I also learned that the characters in the outsiders have a different worldview than me, some aspects are similar or the same but some different.

Constructive Creative Communication: Herzog

So far in Herzog we’ve been learning about photos and our camera. We’ve been leaning how to composing composition, adjusting angles, manufacturing mood, creating collages, moulding movement. So, how does this help us? Well, this helped us communicate more creatively by communicating through photos. And if you’re wondering how you can communicate though photos, I’ll tell you. Through photos you can communicate a certain message through the mood of the photos, the angles used, the subject of the photo, and the focus of the photo.

So now you know how to communicate creatively through a photo, now you need to know how to make photos with all of those things.

Here is my example of composing composition. Here you were supposed to take a photo of an everyday object and make it come to like by adding som simple drawings on it.
This is my example of adjusting angles. For this we had to get a photo of ourselves from when we were younger and recreate it. In this my original photo was a photo of me on the ferry with my head resting on a railing. I tried to recreate that to the best I could. To recreate the photo well you had to use the same angles and lighting. And also try to be doing the sam thing in the photo with the same background.
This is my example of manufacturing mood. In this the mood I got was crazed. This photo is a photo of my dog Lulu being crazy rolling in some self she found on the ground. In this photo you were supposed to try to take a photo that you thought represented to mood that you got well.
This is my example of creating collages. For this you had to make a blog page about you you can check mine out here. For this you were supposed to use a portrait of your head and instant alpha it. Next you were supposed to put some of you favourite things in keynote and draw arrows pointing to them. You were also supposed to take photos of random letters or things that looked like letters of your name. Next you put that into keynote and drew some patterns of something on the side.
Here is my moulding movement GIF. For this we had to make a GIF in keynote about something happening or us reacting to something. For mine I used a photo of my dog saying hello to me.
