For the found art project my group decided to do AIDS and AIDS awareness as our theme. We wanted to show the fight against discrimination and awareness for the disease. To demonstrate this theme we used different medical paraphernalia like condoms and pill boxes to show ways of prevention and to illustrate the treatment given to AIDS patients. We also obtained a couple of movies which had a central theme of AIDS to show public education and information shown to the public to increase awareness. To obtain these items we asked our parents for any suggestions or ideas on items. Also, we looked around our house searching for different movies and items that would demonstrate the struggle of AIDS patients. I would probably plan out the box layout better so I wouldn't be so stressed out the day of assembling the box. Some advice I would give for next years history class is to make sure you have an abundance of items before committing to a theme. If you don't have enough items it will cause a lot more unnecessary stress.

Nicely written! I like the addition of the picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice, as well.
Great idea, this makes me wish I did something along the lines of your project. Your project was very original and your found art ideas were great. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteThis is a topic that I never thought about, pretty interesting topic.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good topic and it is important for people to realize that AIDS has been around for a long time.
ReplyDeleteThe first sentence may be adjusted, to make it more fluent, but the overall post was very well developed: I believe you chose a very important topic, its great that you were so sensitive about the people who suffer of this illness and also that you decided to explain how to avoid getting AIDS, since many people had no possibility to learning those important things or just ignore them.
ReplyDeleteNice job with the box. The topic is interesting--AIDS is a serious topic and some people don't seem to realize how dangerous it is.
ReplyDeleteGood overview, and I really like your choice of found art items! However, I would suggest splitting the text into paragraphs to make it more organized and easier to read.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that something as large as AIDS was hard to find found art for. Considering the closing of public bath houses in California and famous people who contracted AIDS as well as social incidents, I imagine there are fliers for bathhouses and what not.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of this theme to be sometihng we can do for found art project. You guys did a very good job.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good theme. Very different from the majority. Nice advice. It is true that finding stuff for the project is hard!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very unique topic, a great idea. The idea of including movies is really good. The advice is good; a lot of people were rushing to put the project together.
ReplyDeleteVery original topic, it was probably hard to convince your parents at first that the condoms are actually gonna be used for a project... I'm glad they cooperated.
ReplyDeleteSeparating different prompts into different paragraphs would allow for a smoother read.
