Bildarbete - Gatukonst

Hur fick jag min ide?

Det jag började med var att rita ett ansikte, men sedan kom jag på att göra ett stort träd, och en giraff bredvid. Eftersom väggen är ganska hög, så tänkte jag att det passade bra med ett stort träd, och en giraff bredvid. För det blir en verklig skala, samtidigt som människorna som ser bilden ska tänka på savannen eller något liknande.

Hur har jag arbetat?

Jag har arbetat ganska effektivt varje lektion. Jag började med att leta upp lite bilder, och använda mig av internet för att få lite inspiration till bilden jag skulle göra. Men jag hittade tyvärr inget så jag tänkte ut vad jag hade kunnat göra på väggen. Så jag bestämde mig för att göra ett stort träd, och en giraff eftersom väggen var ganska hög.

Sedan började jag skissa på en skiss på ett litet A4 papper, sedan använde jag mig av ett A3 papper för att göra den bild som jag skulle använda. Jag började rita tills jag blev nöjd, och fick ett färdigt resultat. Jag fyllde i alla blyertslinjer med en blyertspenna för att kunna få starka och tydliga linjer. 

Sedan tog jag en bild på min bild som jag ritat, och lade sedan in den i photoshop. Jag började med att ta bort alla ytor som jag inte skulle ha med i min bild. Sedan färglade jag bilden med de färger som jag tyckte passade i min bild. 

Sedan lade jag in bilden som ett lager över den vägg jag tagit kort på. Efter det så minskade jag, och redigerade den som jag ville ha den, och sedan var den färdig.

Vad är jag nöjd med?

Jag är faktiskt ganska nöjd med min bild, den blev bättre än vad jag trodde att den skulle bli. Sedan passade bilden ganska bra på den väggen, så det var ju också en bra sak. Så jag är nöjd över mitt arbete.

Vad kunde jag gjort annorlunda?

Jag vet inte riktigt vad jag hade velat göra annorlunda, men kanske att bilden skulle gått upp på taket, och blivit ännu högre än bilden blev nu. Men jag är ändå nöjd över resultatet.

Vad vill jag uttrycka/ berätta?

Det jag vill få ut av denna bild är att en giraff är ganska stor, och även ett träd, och den vägg jag använde var också ganska hög så det hade varit häftigt att se hur stor en giraff och ett träd är.

My thoughts about the holocaust

I think that this stories that I have been listen to is very horrible, but at the same time interesting because you can hear people that lived in 1945 talking about what they have been through during the second world war. And I can’t believe that people where doing those things to other religions and races. They only had ``the wrong religion or race´´, but they also had a heart, a body and a soul, just like the ``perfect germans´´. 

It was also very interesting to find out the things that happened to the Frank family. I have heard a lot about Anne Frank and her diary, but I have never understood what actually happened. I can’t believe that Hitler actually did those things to the jews. I think that the diary actually is a very good thing to read to understand the second world war, and how it was for the jews that where hiding from Hitler to live with these conditions.

Sentences

Anne Frank and her family were hiding in an annexe together with four other jewish people.

If you are living in a big house with many floors, you can have an attic at the top of the house. 

Many companies were they have their stuff.

Hitler build concentration camps, for the people that he thought had the wrong religion and race.

If you aren´t allowed to buy as much as you would like to you can get a ration book.

You can place your books and other stuff in a bookcase.

The shop maybe have another size of the table in the store.

You can store your books in this room, because we never use it anyway.

1. Why are the students so unwilling to associate with anyone outside their ethnic/racial groups? Where does this intolerance come from?

- I think it’s because of the students' childhood. They have been through so much, they have seen people get shot in their own town. They have seen people from another racial group doing things to someone in their own group. I think this is one reason why the students have problems with communicating with their classmates. 

2. Ms. Gruwell is the first teacher to show trust and respect for the “at risk” students at Wilson High. How does Erin Gruwell demonstrate this? Why are some students more resistant to trusting each other?

- Ms. Gruwell is a teacher who doesn't give up on the students, because she believes them. The other teachers always quit the job, because of the students. But if a teacher doesn’t show the students respect, they never give respect to the teacher either. And then comes Ms. Gruwell to the class, she has a goal with this students, and she wants the students to succeed. Erin makes the students realise that they almost have been through the same things. An example for this is the line-exercise, when Erin said a question and the students should step on the line if they had been through this. Erin never gives up on them, she would like to make them feel special. I think some students are more resistant, because they have been through something the last time. 

5. How do the classmates learn to trust one another? How does reading and writing initiate this change?

-  The students have realised that they have so much in common. And when Erin buys them new books, they were shocked, because they never get new books. Erin choose a book about a gang member, and the students really like this book, because they can see themselves in this book. Then they get a writebook that they should write in everyday. If they would like to, Erin could read the things they have written in it. When Erin read this, she couldn’t believe what she read. She didn’t realised that the students have been trough this. She also understood that they couldn’t talk with anyone about their feelings. And when Ms. Gruwell give them this book they could write off themselves, and process their feelings somewhere. 

7. Describe the transition in Mrs. Gruwell’s classroom from the first day of freshman year through the end of the year – how have the students changed? How has Ms. Gruwell changed?

- At the beginning it was very messy in the classroom, the students did what they would like to do. When they step into the classroom the students started to talk to each other instead for giving respect for the teacher. A year after they are like a big family in the ending. They have been through hard times together, and they have made things together that they get to know each other. They have also been through much together and they have really fun together to. Ms. Gruwell has changed much this year, in the beginning she was withdrawn, but now she is much more comfortable in the classroom. She showed the student respect, and she got respect back. Erin made the classroom much more comfortable and better then before. The students can finally relax in the classroom. 

10. Do you think it’s more important to “protect your own” or do what’s right?

- I think it’s hard to do the right thing sometimes, but you should always do what your feeling say. I know it’s hard sometimes but it’s the choice that is the best to do, because that’s the right thing for both you and the people who is involved. 

14. What similarities are there between Woodrow Wilson High School and Apelskolan? How are they different?

- I think it’s many different things between our school and Woodrow Wilson High School. In Woodrow Wilson High School they have many gangs, and also many students with different origin. But in our school that is Apelskolan, we have many groups with students, but we can also associate with other students in our school. But the students in Woodrow Wilson High school can’t, because they only associate whit the people in their own gang.

Hur har vi arbetat?
Vi började med att göra en storyboard, med de scener som vi skulle filma, och ha med i videon. Sedan började vi filma våra klipp, vilket gick väldigt snabbt, eftersom vi ville ha tid att redigera på. Sedan lade vi in klippen på datorn, och redigerade den sedan i iMovie. Det var lite svårt att få in klippen på vissa ställen, men det gick, men tog lite tid. Vi har jobbar bra under lektionerna enligt mig. Fast en del av tiden kanske vi skulle arbetat lite bättre. Men jag tycker att vi tog vara på tiden bra. Vi har filmat de första lektionerna och sedan har vi redigerat de sista.

Hur har jag arbetat?
Jag ritade storyboarden med hjälp av förslag från gruppen. Jag har filmat vissa filmklipp som fanns med i vår video, och även varit med i filmen. Emilia har gjort den största delen i redigeringen, och jag har suttit bredvid och hjälpt till lite med redigeringen. Kollat var filmklippen ska vara, och var text med mera ska finnas.

Kunde vi gjort någonting annorlunda?
Vi kanske kunde ha filmat lite fler scener, och haft lite mer variation i de hela, men jag tycker att det blev ett bea resultat ändå. Jag tycker att vi gjort ett bra jobb i gruppen, och vi hade ett ganska bra grupparbete.

Jag tycker att vi haft ett bra grupparbete vi har även haft roligt under arbetstiden, och det gjorde det helaännu roligare!
