Bringing in the art and design class to help with our project at the garden I think will be a great success. Having the imagination and creative thinking that art class can bring to the table will open a new array of options and opportunities, to raise money and awareness about the Filbert Street Garden. Looking at their blog and seeing what they have done and are looking at, shows the talent coming to help and how they can think and create in a more artistic way. Combining our class, which seems to be more numbers and the how to thinking, with the art class, a crafty and creative form of thinking, there are endless possibilities to make this experience a success.
The oral histories assigned to read really demonstrated how there is a difference between what a textbook tells the reader about a point in history, and what a person who had that event affect them personally can tell you. The textbook gives a detailed description of an event; an individual who experienced that same event first hand can tell you what the repercussions were and how it effected them and the people around them. The readings bringing the riots in Baltimore after the MLK shooting as an example painted a picture of the city and communities with their residents, how it impacted them personally and financially.
