This blog was created as a project for my English 3102 class, taught by professor Cynthia Pittmann. In this introductory post I will talk a little about a collage I made for this class recently. It's mainly about the TV series I love, but it also has a few stickers (because I had to fill up the empty spaces somehow!). The collage is all over my class writing journal, where I write down all my first thoughts during 10 minutes every day.
So here are the photos:
The front part (shown in the first picture) has images of my ultimate favorite TV shows and movies. The image at the bottom right side of the notebook has my favorite cartoon show called "The Amazing World of Gumball". Its based on the extremely corny and bizarre life of a cat and his pet fish with legs. I love this show because beneath all the craziness and stupidity it presents, there is a message of social criticism which really makes me laugh. The top left image is of a very old TV show called "M*A*S*H" which was based on the doctors that treated the wounded at the front during the Korean war. It is very funny and also contains a good dose of social criticism. I enjoy watching Scorpion (top right) because it has some science and lots of action. Star Wars is in the bottom left corner because I have seen all the movies with my dad since I was a little girl (he taught me to love them). And of course I had to put an image of the Minions because I am obsessed with them for some reason I cannot explain.
At the back of the notebook (second picture) I placed images of other shows I enjoy. Call the Midwife (top left) and Downton Abbey (bottom right) are drama series that are packed with interesting historical facts and present how life was years ago. Galavant (center left) is an extremely funny musical series that mixes medieval times with elements of today. I put an image of the Mythbusters (center right) because I love watching them do science experiments, specially the ones that explode. The Hunger Games (top left) is my favorite book series. Finally, at the bottom right corner I put a sticker that reminded me of the times I go out with my friends.
The images on this collage represent part of my personal tastes and part of my view of society.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteSince the tittle of the class is "Culture, Race & Relationships" you can say that your personal tastes are influenced by your culture and relationships? Because we can see that your dad "taught" you to "love" Star Wars (relationship).
By the way I liked it when you explained what was those series about, because I had never heard of a lot of them.
When you was talking about the series and the TV shows I was imagining about them, especially about "M*A*S*H".
I will like to hear more about that TV show "M*A*S*H".
I like that you was very direct and that you was very sincere, like when you said that you put some random stickers so you can cover all the blank spaces lefted.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoy read your collage description which make me want to see TV shows while I read it. The pictures help a lot to see the idea behind your imagination. Also like when you say that you father teach you to love Star Wars exactly like my dad. It's very impressive the passion with you talked about each thing that make your collage a part of you.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that culture influenced in your taste? I liked when you mentioned that The Amazing World of Gumball was your favorite cartoon. Its awesome! I would like to hear more about how making the cover of your journal made it really yours. I really liked how you connected every single point with culture and relationships.I love the color that you used in your blog because it gives life to it. As I was reading this post many little flashbacks came to my head from different movies and series that you used on your blog.
