1. CONTEXT: What were the circumstances that framed the meaning and process of this project?

I feel that the context of this film was made to inform us of what the media perceives as the teenage community. Specifically in underprivileged communities.

2. CONTENT: What was the issue, need, idea or opportunity addressed by this project?

This project addressed a plethora of issues and ideas. Some of the topics covered local issues, family functions, schooling, sexual abuse, and other topics

3: FORM: What is the medium that was used to address or embody the content?

The piece almost felt like an immersive theatre piece meets a novel.

4. STAKEHOLDERS: Which are the groups or individuals that invested in the process and outcomes of project?

The teenagers involved in the project, artists helping illustrate the image, and the reporters covering the project.

The project seemed to be made for the community that does not understand the social issues the project group faces.

To put the megaphone to the teenagers' voices.

That there is dialogue to be aware of and this projects message should not be overlooked.

CalArts Garden

The reason why I choose this topic is that I know a lot of students are complaining that CalArts is too plain. It is just one main building with a small campus. I would like to design a space for the CalArts campus where students and teachers can work together as a community and taking care of the plants. The community can hold a farmers market, season food festival or food-related artwork competition.    Few things I read about the benefits of school garden:   -  Gardens create opportunities for students to work cooperatively and to take on responsibilities.  - Gardens provide unique opportunities for cross-generational connections.  - Students learn to focus and patience, cooperation, teamwork, and social skills.  -Combining language arts and gardening activities brings a hands-on element to a subject normally taught lecture-style, providing inspiration and motivation for students who struggle to focus in traditional cl...

Other than the knowledge gained, this would be a waste of two years of my life and in fact sets me back in my career.

Raising questions and therefore instantly opening up a dialogue. Schutzman approached the students by asking questions while also letting them choose the person/people they wanted to learn about and also depict in the play. I think entering a school with something to teach is the idealistic approach to interacting with students; when students are in class they are expecting to be taught and ask questions. This is the exact approach Shutzman used. This allowed her to familiarize herself with the student community and find their interests, question...
