Composition

How could we come up with a composition using German we learned, to build up, break and build up again? We have to bring in our research topic as well. Only German I know was to say hi, count up to twenty...........yes. What can we do? As a group we gathered around before Thursday and gathered some thoughts. When we actually stepped outside to find the space to present our composition, we were in luck that we could find stairs to go up and come down; which could be used as change in elevation and use of space. Our group is focusing on art(performing art, music pieces, and visual art as well), we sang a song during the composition and we found a quote to shout out loud.

I really enjoyed all the composition, but I must say that the second composition was my favorite.
I liked their idea of using stairs in front of the drama building, people going up and down, changing elevation. I also liked how they represented different identities, one says hi to other and they sort of look at each other weird because even though they are German, they have different identity and background they come from.
Also, the last group's composition and use of people's physical body to build up and break down was interesting as well.

I hoped that we learned more German!

Some thoughts

Even before I had an interview with Julie and Shanga, I was so sure that I wanted to focus in art when I go Berlin this summer. Reason why art is my first choice is as an art major, I think it would be very interesting to go out to a place where I've never been and meet new people, and research. I think art is for everybody, it doesn't matter whether or not they can draw or paint. I want to know people's appreciation of art pieces that are displayed in public spaces. When Sabine Lang mentioned about art spaces in subway stations. Generally arts in Berlin. I will come up with more specific ideas.

I also thought Migration and Immigration was interesting topic to research, espcially in religious aspect. Increase number of Muslims and Mosques that are built recently. I want to know where they come from, and it is intersting how different people have different beliefs. Last but not least, I find the internal security interesing. How Sabine mentioned about parking lots for women, i thought it was very cool. But why? Why not for disabled people? Why is it a big issue in Berlin? Women's rights?

My thoughts should be more organized as the quarter goes.
I'm very excited :-)
