Pictures are said to be worth a thousand words. Artists and Cartoonists use images to convey meaning in powerful ways. Check out the following. Pick the one that moves you most, describe the one you've chosen and then tell us what it means to you in your own words.
I chose the last picture. In my perspective I think the young boy with the car feels better than the rest and wants nothing to do with the others young boys who don't . The boy with car puts his hand put expressioning that they are poor and that he can't share with people who are unclean and unwealthy. You can also see that the poor boys want to play and experience something they have probably never played with before. This picture shows the two types of people in this world the selfish and greedy and also the unselfish and kind.
ReplyDeleteI choose the first picture. Its about a kid playing soccer by himself while people are on their phone. I think this symbolizes how people are spending more time on technology and less outside and that's kina bad.
ReplyDeleteI chose the picture with the man looking through the F of facebook. I feel like what the artist meant is that people look at things through one perspective: the media. Even though, in front of him is an open door that he can't see because he only looks at the world one way.
ReplyDeleteI chose the picture of the graph that says "Value of Something." The artist is possibly trying to show that we get something of high value (possibly like materialistic things), we're thinking about it then we're happy when receiving it. Then you get bored with it or you just throw it around like it's nothing. Yet once we lose something we start to panic and freak out because it's out of possession and your heart gets heavy and you become nervous because you've been attached to it.
ReplyDeleteI chose the first picture, the artist is trying to convey where our society is currently. The poor child is standing around a bunch of people focused on their devices all he wants to do is play . Too many kids are not growing up to their full potential. Instead of going out to play they are sat in front of tv or on a tablet. Devices are great but too much of something is never good.
ReplyDeleteI chose the second picture. I very agree with the artist. I experience something like this before. Usually, we will show a very high interest with something we don't have. But when we have it, maybe at the beginning we like it, but when that time pass, we lose the interest with it. When we lose it, and we will start caring of it. This is just like a infinite loop. Sometimes we don't realize that, but one thing I know is that things are not always the best.We should cherish what we have now, don't regret when we lost it,that's too late.
ReplyDeleteThe first picture represents how the people have changed and dont look around their surroundings, because people are not on their phones, this changes how society looks on stuff. A example of that is how if a person would be beaten up and a group of people would just look how the person is beat up and video tape it. They would let the person die in their eyes. We should open our eyes and look around the new world around us and sometimes pay attention.

ReplyDeleteI like the first picture because it shows how kids are getting sucked into technology instead of socializing and playing with other people.
ReplyDeleteThe one that moves me the most is the first because it shows what our day in age really is. As a kid I loved to play outside and spend time with the kids in the neighborhood. I see young kids wanting phone at like grade 4 and staying inside.
