Sociological Reasons for Drawing - Josey Gregg

Drawing is, and has been a universal way for someone to express themselves. Whether they speak the same language or not, anything in a drawing is something that can be interpreted and given its own meaning by anyone. "People enjoy drawing because drawing simulates the universal desire to express oneself." Drawing is a way to let out emotions, especially in a way that may be hard for you to express in words, but you can express through your thoughts. Especially in young children, drawing can be used as a very important tool. Young children often carefully choose what they are going to draw. Many children have similar thoughts or ideas behind drawing, however, depending on the culture, the style and other aspects of the drawing may greatly vary. There are many reasons behind what is drawn by artist depending on what is drawn, where it's drawn and the color it is drawn in. Drawing, especially in young children has always been a way for people to interpret children's feelings about their environment.
Another important detail about interpreting children's art is how deep or shallow the lines drawn are. Shallow lines in a drawing can show signs of being exhausted mentally or physically, heavier lines can show signs of being stronger mentally and physically. The type of pencil can show determination or indecisiveness. Especially with young children it is rare for a child not to draw, there can be signs of trauma if a young child does not draw. It is important to interpret children's drawings, because similar to speech it is often an outlet. Children express anger, pain, curiosity, fear, and so many other emotions through there artwork which is why it is so important to learn more about. Drawing has become a very important way for us to distinguish emotions, especially in young children, this is why we continue to study it and learn more about it and its effects.

The Education Gap

Read an article on a racial issue in America from the last five years, whether it is from an American newspaper or a foreign paper looking at American issues.  Briefly summarize the article information and then respond with what your evaluation as to what is going on, how it is being treated by the press, or anything else that you would like to say about it. The Education Gap Between Whites and African Americans In the United States:  Although we have changed our laws in the years since lawful segregation, the legacy that segregation has left lives on in the present day United States. This is particularly evident in the way we regard education, and even after integration there is still a large gap that lives between the way we education white children and the way we educate African American children. Many of the differences in this lie in the qualification and quality of teachers and curriculum and the contrasts in funding that resides in our school systems. It...

Sharing Economy- Luke

Luke Kirchner       After much thinking, I have realized that sharing economies can be created from almost anything. I decided to make create something about sharing home decor. This would include things like paintings, ornaments and other small things to decorate your house. One challenging thing that would need to be sorted out, would be the value of the objects. Art is very subjective and can be valued very differently by other people. The market would have to establish it self to truly assign a price to different pieces. This would be a great way to make some money off of pieces of art that usually aren't seen and this would allow the renter to spruce up their house.       An app would be used to connect people and would ask for necessary information. This would probably be more localized, so people could drive over and pick up, or vice-versa. Some sort of insurance/waiver would also have to be part of the process, to ensure the rente...
