Intro to project 3

           I mostly get information from twitter or the articles on snapchat. I believe the articles on snapchat more than twitter because they're mostly articles from CNN. If I see something on twitter that I don't necessarily believe I'll either ask my parents or just look it up online.
           After reading the articles, I don't really understand why Trump needs to lie about how many people attended his inauguration, I guess I'm just not an ego-maniac like himself. It's actually insulting that he thinks we will believe him over actual proof, a photograph! He's such a narcissist he can't handle that Obama was more popular than him. He also can't handle the fact that Russia helped him to win the election so he has to insult his own Intelligence and call them nazi's and liars. Which if I were him I wouldn't mess with the CIA. He's acting like we're all stupid, like we should believe him over the Intelligence who's job is to protect our country by gathering intelligence on other countries, who quite frankly are way more experienced and trained than Trump.
            The last article made me realize that I should probably check what news is real or fake. I never really thought about doing it before because mostly what I read is from CNN.
            I read an article of Trump saying that the US is going to become a one-party system and I didn't really believe he'd actually say that. But when I looked it up he actually did say it in an interview. I guess I thought he was a little smarter than he actually is.

Vinyl project

Reading/ Vinyl project

I thought Vandals or Visionaries? The Ethical Criticism of Street Art was a fascinating reading because I love when I see street art I think it gives the whole area so much more character. I don't really think street art should be illegal if people are using it for good causes like political statements or awareness. For my project I want to do some sort of political statement. I made a sketch about equality but I'm not sure yet if this is what I want to do. 

Response to slides

I love the idea of the first slide (The guy with the tree for hair). I think the idea was very thought out and I like how the artist got it to work with nature so beautifully. I think this mural definitely brings character to this community. I would love to know what the meaning behind this mural is.
