Connection Across Time

We can't really make a connection across time with this chapter, because it is our time. This section shows the world struggles of the 21st century and it really is depressing. We have genocides, global warming, low population, and a new nation on the rise. The world is in a slump right now. People can help change that but some choose not to. We need to get involved.

Genocide in Darfur

The genocide in Darfur was one of the topics that was presented during our presentations on the struggles of the world today. This is by far in my mind the biggest strougle. When discussing ths topic I begin to feel bad inside because I believe that no one is doing anything to stop this. It will start to escalate to bigger numbers soon. We need people to step in and try to make a difference.

Meeting of the Minds

During our meeting of the minds activity, I will be personifying Karl Marx. Marx is a tough guy to be, because all he really did was come up with Communism. I have answered most of the questions to the best of my ability and hopefully it'll turn out great and my grade is good.

Connection Across Time(World War 2)

World War 2 is similar to World War 1. But during WWII we saw a few new war tactics. The huge one is the Atomic bomb. The atomic bomb was first used by the U.S. on Japan and now today many nations have nuclear weapons. WWII also shaped the way that today's society looks. In Europe there's a lot more nations and we now have the U.N., that helps solve conflicts between nations without using violent force.

Scratch One Betty

This painting is titled Scratch One Betty, by Marc Stewart. It shows how dog fights played a huge part in the battles of WWII.

WWII Aircraft

This was a painting done to show the many types of aircraft from WWII.

WWII

"Welcome Home," was done by Jack Levine. It is the first painting Jack Levine created after serving 3 1/2 years in the Army during World War II. It's in the exhibition "Painting in the United States," 48 works from the 1940s, at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art.

Class Debate on Atomic Bomb

In class we had a debate on whether the dropping of the Atomic bomb was right or not. I believe that it was not right at all. We could have found another way of ending the war that would not have caused many lives and still taking lives today. Dropping the atomic bomb was just a way of showing that we are the tougher country and we will when the war by any means necessary.

Connection Across Time(Age of Anxiety)

The age of anxiety was a time period where multiple art styles were invented, the great depression took place, and the Nazi party was on the rise in Germany. The great depression had a huge impact on the world during that time and the events that it lead to had an impact on today's world also. The holocaust was a mass genocide against the Jewish religion conducted by Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party. Today there is a genocide going on in Darfur. People tend to not worry about the events happening in Darfur, just like people today do not believe that the holocaust ever took place. We need to remember these events in order to help prevent them today. We need to get involved.

Claude Monet

This painting was done by Claude Monet, titled The Water Lily Pond in 1899. Claude Monet is considered the father of impressionism because of his many works of art. Impressionism art shows the reflections of items in water while using light strokes.

Cubism

This painting was done by Pablo Picasso, titled The Three Musicians. It shows the form of art, Cubism, and the way that multiple shapes were used to form art and sometimes looked like people.
