ReplyDeleteI agree with all the artists that agreed that art can change the world. I may be a little biased because I am in fact, a bit of an art nerd. I do think it is a good way of letting students express themselves in a healthy way. It is a form of therapy. But one reason I strongly believe that art can change the world is because art speaks to people. Art can make people act on a single thought and expand it making it a world known issue. I know for one thing that I, personally, saw an image of a person white water rafting, and decided that I wanted to do something like that and I did. Now i love going white water rafting! So thats just one example of having an image influence someones actions.
I think I agree with Robert Storr the most. Art is more of a reflection of what society is going through. Sotrr says that it art doesn't change the world becuase it is a direct adress to society and it's events. I lean towards Storr becuase I dont have that big of an artistic mind. I am a very math/science minded person so i dont see how art can change many things in the world. Nut i do see how photography is an expression of life. Every photographer takes pictures of what the are passionate about and their pictures give them a little insight into their life. I'll let the picture describe how I fel about socail problems in society.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Jennifer Gonzalez, with the fact that art is very powerful and its power is in the fact that it is unpredictable. You never really know in what way it will impact someone, and everyone may react differently. I see art and photography as a way to express all of the feelings you can't describe. For me, photography is just an escape, or like a pen to a writer, or a sheet of lyrics for a musician. I now know that we really need to make a photo that provokes thought, otherwise people are just going to ignore it.
I agree with you in the way that photography is an escape and a way to express all the feelings you can't describe. The way you worded this post, I can relate to what photography is for you
Delete“Can Art change the world?” I believe that art can change the world. Art is needed for many people to escape the reality that they live in. Art is a form of expression and is important to society. People can change the world through art, no matter the art form. Which artist/artists do you agree with and why?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jennifer Gonzales because I agree how art is a form of literature that can not be predicted. Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
I do see photography as a way of expressing how I feel about life because I believe that photography can portray how a person is feeling at the moment. How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project? I can apply what I have learned because it can impact the way I take photos.

ReplyDeleteWhich artist/artists do you agree with and why?
I agree with Jennifer González the most out of all the artists because of how she says that art can be incredibly useful and allows you to do something that isn't already defined. I think that her statement is very true when it comes to art, people can express themselves in many different ways. I also agree with her statement of how in the way art is as dangerous as literature because it raises ideas and can change your mind on how you view things.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
Yes, I do feel like photography is a way to express your feelings because you can use a photograph to capture emotion and feeling in many different ways.
The artist I agree with most is Rirkrit Tiravanija. He was saying that art can change the world, but at a different speed and it has a different affect than politics. I do think that photography can be used as a way to express how you feel about life because with photography, you are able to capture things like emotions by experimenting with things such as subjects, lighting, and positive/ negative space. All of those things impact the emotion of a photo. I will apply what I learned by keeping in mind what these artists said while taking my photos.
ReplyDeleteThe artists I agree with are all of them. Each person brings up points and claims that are valid in deciding wether art can or cannot change the world. I think that it is very rare for one art piece, like a painting, to change peoples minds and how they think about a social issue. Although, when I hear the statement, "Can art change the world?" I automatically think in a broader sense. Art is a way for people to let their creativity shine and flow. Photography, dance, painting, drawing, theater, etc. are all great examples of how people express themselves. Art may not change the world in one single day or night but it can make people aware of issues and awareness eventually leads to some kind of temporary or permanent fix. Photography can most certainly be argued as not a "true" art form but I think it is. If are just naturally more aware of the components of a good picture then that is a creative flow in you. Being able to see photos and how they will turn out before you will take them is a talent and all people who master in their art form are talented.
ReplyDeleteI do not Robert Storr because of the fact that at times it can change peoples whole idea of that, like business put art on there posters to make you feel good about that thing they are sailing. Also there are many times when gave people hope in a bad time like when 9/11 happened a man painted a billboard of an american heart and put it up in New York city giving hope to thousands of people in that area. and in some ways the art makes people rethink there morales like the photos of kids in africa starving makes people think how they can help. So yes art can change the world.
ReplyDeleteNewman P8
ReplyDeleteI agree with the artists (Jennifer Gonzalez) saying that art can change the world. It is definitely an impactful piece of today's culture in many ways. This is proven by the fact that many people will pay huge amounts of money for a great piece of art, sometimes even into the millions for paintings from popular artists. Art, specifically photography, is definitely a great way for people to express themselves in many ways. I can apply what I have learned from the article to my own life by taking time to actually appreciate the things I see and always being kind to people.
Somer Mock Period 5
ReplyDeleteJennifer Gonzalez is an artist who i would not argue with. Her opinion states that we need art, art is dangerous in its own way. She continues to explain how art raises idead and changes minds, which in this world is something we find very useful. I completely agree with her thinking. Can art change the world? I think so, no doubt. Some people aren't able to express themselves through words but are able to express themselves through art. That is something I find amazing and if you disagree and say that art cant change the world, then please, I would like to hear your reasoning. Because nothing is more beautiful and pure then seeing meaning behind a piece of art. Whether if its photography, ceramics, painting, sketching, or constructing something. The idea behind it is all the same, art is made to have purpose behind it and it is made to purposely change the world. Art has reason. Art, as well as music, speaks when words cannot be found.
Sarah Weller - Period 8
ReplyDeleteWhich artist/artists do you agree with and why?
I agree with Jennifer González. I think art has the power to change people’s minds and impact the way we think. If everyone was aware of the problems of today’s world and saw things in a new light, change would happen.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
Yes, people’s photography is influenced by their perspective on life.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
I will try to make my photo have a strong mood or feeling that will impact the way people see things.
Staheli period 8
ReplyDeleteWhich artist/artists do you agree with and why?
I agree with Artist Thomas Hirschhorn because I like his passion for his art and the things he (and I) believe people can be affected by art. It's a way of life, it's a way to fight the evils and to bring happiness to people who need it. Art is a beautiful thing.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
Sometimes, it's easy to say that when I've taken a really good photograph of a family member or captured a happy moment of life but that's not necessarily always the case.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
I think I can alter my way of thinking about this project as a way to vocalize my thoughts and to try to change the world and make it a better place for everyone in it.
Anna Lawson, Period 8
ReplyDeleteWhich artist/artists do you agree with and why?
I agree with artist Jennifer González. Art can definitely impact our thinking and skills. With art we can create new things, but we can also show people things they never thought about. For example, it's easy for us to photograph things people have never seen before which can easily change someone's perspective on the world, or something, or someone.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
Sometimes, if you're in a photography class, maybe you're assigned something specific to take pictures of, but when we're finding things to take pictures of by ourselves we often find things we find cool or amazing, rather then what others do. Our pictures could be bright and happy, or dark and gloomy. Photography, and any type of art is a form of expression.
How will apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
For my project, I will use this to photograph things most people never thought of. I can change my way of thinking and my perspective to show people a problem they knew was there, but didn't acknowledge it as much until they saw my partners and I's project.
I disagree with Mr. Robert (from the blog). He was outmost wrong in my opinion. ART CAN CHANGE THE WORLD! It can effect the viewer in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteI think I could express my life through photography but I don't see or want to do that. I would rather do it through other forms of art. So I guess I don't see it as a way of expressing my life.
Which artist/artists do you agree with and why?
ReplyDeletei really agree a lot with the artist rirkrit because theyre being really insightful. They say that they know that art can change the world, but theyre not sure how. I also agree that art moves at a different pace than other things in the world, so the impact may be slower than other things like politics.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
i really do think that photography is a way to express myself, for me personally. im not sure if other people feel that way, but i certainly do. it can be a way to see who and what you want through a camera lens, and bring emotion and life into a photo. different people see art differently, many dont see photography as an art, but i see it as art because of all of the elements and components that go into it. you can express yourself with art, including photography.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
i think that i will apply what i learned to the project by taking it and putting it into action. the opinions and words of the artist i agreed with will influence what i put into this project, and i believe it can impact people, even if it is only a handful.

I think art can change the world because pictures speak louder than words. I agree with all the artists. I see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life. I am going to apply what I earned by remembering past photos and using the work of other photographers.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Robert Storr because art can explain what people go through. I see photography as a way to express how I feel about life because I can take pictures of what I want depending on my mood. I will remember this and use it in future photos to express how I feel to others through my work.
1) I agree most with Jennifer Gonzalez because she said that art is very powerful in the way that it can change minds or culture. She sees art as being just as life changing as literature, people see it and their worlds are turned upside down and they may start to view things differently.
ReplyDelete2) I do because it expresses how you feel when you may not have the words to say or write. You can show it in a picture and help people understand your point of views.
3)I'll apply what I learned by being creative and extra thoughtful with this project and helping people view things the way I see them.
McKune Period 7
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tiravanija, I agree with him because every person has their own speed at which they do tasks. Some people move fast and some move slow, everyone also has their own way of doing things. If you were to go out and take pictures with friends, it may not end well because you guys have different ideas and one may think that the idea is terrible when you think it's a really good idea. I think when taking photos it's easier to do it alone because you can work at your own speed and have your own ideas. I do see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life, photography lets you express yourself and show who you are and what you enjoy without showing yourself.

Which artist/artists do you agree with and why?
I agree with Tim Griffin when he says there is an idea that we can appeal to emotion and consumers by using art. He says art appeals to emotion and interaction, which can make a difference, and I agree because in a world full of chaos, art can be calm, or the mediator.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
Photography is an art form and can express opinion on very serious topics. Topics of concern can be expressed in many ways, and sometimes we agree with opinions we didn't even know existed.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
I can apply my learning within my photos by showing how different opinion can create a movement.

Kranig P7
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jennifer González, because not only photography but art in general can make people think differently about something, and it can have the power to change someone's view on something.
Yes I do because everyone has different experiences, and can have different outlooks on those experiences. And everyone expresses what they think in a different way.
I'll apply this to my learning by trying to have different perspectives on what social statement we pick.
@CheyenneBrown I agree with what you said about how different opinions can cause a change in something.
@MeganCarlson I agree with you on how you agree with Jennifer Gonzalez because art is very powerful, and can cause people to think differently.
Which artist/artists do you agree with and why?
ReplyDelete-I agree with Jennifer González photography can a dangerous and controversial thing. Photography can be dangerous because it brings up new ideas and thoughts that can change, and sometimes change can be scary and dangerous.
Clair, P7
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
-Yes, I feel that if you have strong feelings about the message you are trying to express, you can make your message appear in your photography.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
-I will think about the types of messages that I will want to convey in photos.
@Kelsy Weidenbacher, I agree with the part that you said about Thomas Hirschhorn, that the art a person creates can really show things about the artist and what s/he is thinking when creating it.
@Robin A, I completely agree with your views on expressing how you view life.
Which artist/artists do you agree with and why?
ReplyDelete- I agree with Jennifer González because I agree that art is vital to society. It allows people to accomplish things they might not have been able to, had the definition of art not been in the picture.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
- Yes, I see photography as a way of expressing how I feel about life. Photography is an art form, and art is one of the best ways to express yourself. Wether it be drawing, music, or photography, all are ways of expressing life.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
- I will apply what I learned from the forum to this project. Like Jennifer said, art is the reason that people can express themselves and do things they might not have been able to do. Wether it be experiments, investigations, formal innovations, or anything else- art is vital to society.
Which artist/artists do you agree with and why?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jennifer. When she is talking about art, she shows me a feeling of love and devotion to art and how it is vital to us and the way we function. I think it opens and expands how our minds think towards many things.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
Definitely. I think that photography has a way of expressing something you truly love and freezing moments to reflect on that mean so much to you.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
I will apply what I have learned by putting more passion into my photos. I think that art is truly a real definition of beauty and something that keeps us all going.
Which artist/artists do you agree with and why?
ReplyDelete- I agree with Jennifer Gonzalez because I liked the way she stated her opinion. I agree with her how art is an essential thing for todays society and without we might not have been able to accomplish some things we have today.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
- Yes, I do think that photography could be way to express how you feel about life. I believe this because many other people express how they feel through other types of art and photography is also an art so you would still be able to express how you feel about life.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
- I will apply what I have learned in several ways. I will first of all try to look at the project at a different way since I know now that people use this type of art to express themselves like any other art. I think by doing so it will help improve the quality of the project in the end.
Period 4
ReplyDeleteWhich artist/artists do you agree with and why?
--I agree with Jennifer González because I really do think that we desperately need art. Because from me it helps me divine who I am through my photography, it also can act as inspiration for someone. That's why I think that we need art so badly.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
--Yes, because its how you can show the public even in something like a presentation that you are really passionate about something.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
-- I will think that photography isn't just something to look at it's a way to express your feelings about a certain subject or need.
I agree with the artists who think art can change the world because I also strongly believe this. The earth would be "eh" without art. Art is here to inspire us and express emotions, therefore if the messages behind the images are to promote change, in my opinion, they could do that to some extent. I also believe photography is a great way to express how you feel about art. Like I said, art expresses ideas which means it can also express emotions. I think this specific information will really help with my project because I now have the confidence that change can be promoted through art so I believe I will now take more powerful images with that in mind.
ReplyDeleteWhich artist/artists do you agree with and why?
ReplyDelete* I agree with Jennifer Gonzalez because I think that we do need art. I believe that it helps people express themselves and also is helps put out a different perspective and also a different way to see the world by using art.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
*Yes, because it is a way of expressing how people feel. Some photography makes you look at the world in a different way or see something a way you wouldn't have seen it without photography.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
* I think that photography is a way to express your feelings and a different way to look at the world.
Wehrer- period 7
I agree with all of the artist who believe art can change the world. Art has its own voice and the way pictures express the mood or depth of something is really impowering. art is a way of expressing how you feel about life. your photos or paintings are a reflection of you. I am going to apply this to my art as expressing how I feel about issues in the world and how I see life and what experiances I've had.

I agree with the artists who think art can change the world because I also believe this. The world would be boring without art. Art is here to inspire us and express emotions.Art wants us to change the status quote and dare to be different. I also believe photography is a great way to express how you feel about art. Art expresses ideas which means it can also express emotions. I think this specific information will really help with my project.

- I will apply what i learned from this article by using expressive emotions and feelings.
I agree with Jennifer González because you never really do know how art is going to effect people and that it is up to us to interpret the art. Art is able to change minds.
ReplyDeletePhotography can very well be a way of showing how you see things and show other people your perspective of the world.
Im going to use my perspective to show how I feel/see the issues in the world.
Kassel P.6
Which artist/artists do you agree with and why?
ReplyDelete- I agreed with Rirkrit Tiravanija, as she said that art can change the world but we dont know exactly how. As she see the art industry change and moving at a different pace then other factors. And the change that art is bring is not a instant change but a slow change over time
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
Yes as they way you take photo's weather it be about nature or parts of human life how and what the photo's are about are little parts of you slowly showing yourself in your work
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
- To bring this mind set of thinking about how this could change the world or just one persons life and how large that is bring another way of thinking of the project
Which artist/artists do you agree with and why?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jennifer Gonzalez. I agree with her because she thinks that art can start up many new ideas and change ideas. This art can be any type of art such as lit, photography or drawings. I also believe this because it has happened to me. I can look at very touching photos, and my mind could change.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
Yes, I do see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life. Most of the time the photos you take reflect your imitation and what you think is beautiful and what is not.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
I will apply what I learned from this to my project by bringing emotion to the subject that I choose into my pictures.
Which artist/artists do you agree with and why? -I agree with Tim Griffin and other artists like him, because he explains how art is evolving to the world around us which is further incorporated into marketing and advertising. For example, good art pieces would really draw someones attention to an article or commercial that has good message but without the art, the person's attention would've already been lost before a point was made.
ReplyDeleteDo you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?- I do believe photography shows how you feel about life because it's your eye that you use to spot a good photo opportunity. However, you picture these objects or scenes in your photos as your own outlook on life which could be a completely different perspective for someone else.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?-I will really think about how i view my pictures mentally not jus how pretty or interesting it looks, just how that scene or object makes me feel.
Which artist/artists do you agree with and why?--I agree with Jennifer Gonzalez because she talks about how art is dangerous and can be used to change minds and culture, but you can't predict in what way. I see art similar to this because it is so powerful what someone can say through a picture or painting or other form of artwork.
ReplyDeleteDo you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?-- I do. I think photography can be used as an outlet to get our feeling out about the world and the way it functions. It can be used as criticism or as a compliment and only the creator of the art has the voice to say which.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?--I will use this information to take pictures that mean something special to me and can make my voice be heard.
I agree with Jennifer Gonzalez because she talks about how art is more than just a picture or painting, or however it is used. It can be dangerous and cause people to act out; such as in propaganda. I see that this is true because art can make people think one way, and feel another. It is unpredictable.
ReplyDeleteI do think that photography is a way of expressing how you feel about life; if you feel sad you can use photography to capture your feelings through rain and tears, if you see something as cruel and unjust, you can photograph it the way you see it.
I will use this to show my opinion and feelings by making the photos personal. I will try to relate to them as I photograph these things.
Kassel P.8
ReplyDeletePersonally, I agree with Robert Storr who doesn't think art can change the world. I am kind of 50/50 because I don't think art itself can change the world but I do think that it brings attention to a lot of the issues in the world that need to be changed. For example, when you see powerful photos of homeless people in the street, it may tug on your heart string a little, but the photo itself does not change the fact that there are a large amount of homeless people. But what the photo does do, is it draws people's attention to that specific issue so that we can work on changing it. A part of me feels that, in a way, art can change the world because of the other kinds of art there are like music. Music has changed the world in my opinion. But music is the only kind of art that I think can/will change the world.
I do think photography is a way of expressing how you feel about life because photographers, most of the time, shoot from their point of view and around what they believe.
I will use this knowledge to take powerful photos that mean something to me and maybe even others.
Which artist/artists do you agree with and why?
ReplyDeleteJennifer Gonzalez because she talks about how art can immediately have an impact on someones opinion and beliefs.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
yes< it can be used to express your self and portray a meaning without having to say anything.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
I will use it to inspire me to be creative and use orignal ideas to get my message across.
Which artists do you agree with and why?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jennifer González. She said that art can change the world. Art is a way for people can freely speak their minds, for there is no correct way to do art. It is open to suggestion and can be interpreted in multiple ways. Jennifer believes that art can be "dangerous". I believe this is directed towards a person who dislikes unpredictability. It is impossible to predict how art changes the minds of it's viewers, if at all. People can view a painting of a bird in a cage in multiple ways. There are people who view it as the artist's feelings of their life: how they feel trapped. Others such as myself will view it as how humanity has caged up animals in order to do it's bidding. Then there's the people who will view it as a pretty picture, among other types of viewers. There are many ways in which art can leave an impression on people: it can create a life changing one, one that lasts for a moment, or none at all. Jennifer mentions that art can change culture, but I believe that art changes with the cultures well. Art can be altered to please the eye of a certain type of viewers, and by doings so it can affect the opinions of others.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
I absolutely feel that photography can express my opinion about life. I view life as something to be treasured, and those of others should be as well. Photographs about cruelty to other living creatures definitely show a side of me. If there is an image of animal cruelty, this is taken in the context that this is a taboo and should be forbidden, and I agree. There are other situations where photography has expressed my deepest beliefs and thoughts, but that would take too long to list them all. Basically, photography is my best method of expressing my inner thoughts and deepest feelings without verbally or physically expressing them.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
This Group Action that my photography group is expressing is all about what I am passionate about. I am constantly hoping for a chance to save our environment, even if it is a slim one. I want to help make this world habitable for the other creatures on this planet, other than humans, and I want to protect the beauty of the world that we live in for as long as I can. I learned that photography does make a difference in the world that we live in today, and that makes me more determined to create meaningful and thought-provoking images.
Brown Period 8
DeleteI agree with Robert Storr, when he says that art can't change the world. I believe that it can have an impact on people and maybe it sticks with more then others. But I don't think it can 100% change anything. People can change on their own but it will never come to a pint where the entire world changes.
ReplyDeleteWhich artists do you agree with and why?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jennifer Gonzales that art can change the world. Art is a way for people to speak their minds without being criticized because there is no right way to do art. Art can be interpreted in many different ways and it is impossible to determine how art changes viewers ideas. It can leave a lasting impression or none at all.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
I think that photography is a way of expressing how I feel about life because the things I take pictures of are things I care about. I take pictures just to capture images that I think are interesting and that I would want to look at again sometime in the future.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
I can apply this forum to my project because I learned that photography can make a difference in the world and that will help me to take more meaningful and interesting photos.
Edwardson P.6
ReplyDeleteWhich artist/artists do you agree with and why?
I agree with Jennifer Gonzales because she explains how art can change the world perfectly. She describes it as dangerous, but also full of light. It is similar to literature and philosophy. She says art can change people's views and perspectives, but it also could not. Art is used by people that want to make a stand and speak their thoughts and opinions, but they will not be judged by what they make or portray.
Do you see photography as a way of expressing how you feel about life?
Yes and no. I use art in my photography to express how I feel at certain times, such as in the project we are doing now, but at other times I take pictures of what I like but it's not necessarily describing how I feel about life.
How will you apply what you learned from this forum to your project?
I can apply this forum to my project because I can take what some of the people said and use it in my photos by describing how I feel and how I want to stand up for what I believe.
I didn't particuarlly relate or connect to what Jennifer Gonzales said while reading the blog post, but the way you put her view on art changing the world really speaks to me and I can definetly relate.
Delete1) I agree with Thomas Hirschhorn, art can change the world. I understand that many of the other artists said the same thing but I like how straight to the point he was. He listed off the things he can do with art and is passionate about them. I agree with the influence art can have.
ReplyDelete2) Yes, I do see art as a way to express how you feel about life. You can include your opinion in your own work, make social statements and let people know how you feel with one piece of art.
3) For this project I will apply the fact that art can have a large influence. I need to remember that my photos aren't just pictures, they are messages that have different meanings to everyone.
I agree with what Rirkrit Tiravanija said. He stated the opinon that "I've always thought art was kind of a space for possibilities
ReplyDelete… Art for me is the kind of space where differences can exist. It's a place where we can discuss and show and deal with our ideas. This is a place where it can happen where we can put it up, look at it, discuss it, and have our views on it." I agree because art is a form of expression and a way for others to feel what I feel by moving them with emotion.
Art for me is a how I express what I feel about life. It helps me to vent out my emotions and explain to others what i'm feeling. Often times I find out i'm upset or passionate about things that I wasn't even aware of.
For this project I want to take after Tiravanija and show others my opinons through art so others can have a view of it and form their opnion. I want others to feel what I feel.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Jennifer González, Assistant Professor in the History of Art and Visual Culture, University of California–Santa Cruz. She said, "Art is a conceptual category that allows for something that's not already defined. So, unlike the notion of the commodity, art allows people to do a lot of different kinds of things that in other parts of culture they wouldn’t be allowed to do." I truly believe this is why art is used so much in our society today.
