For my final project I will be working individually and focusing on information from Paper 1. I will be using some aspects from my essay which focused on media portrayal of my new topics. I thought for a few days what I wanted my topic to be about. Even choosing between paper 1 and paper 2 was tough for me as I didn’t really know which direction I wanted my work to head towards. Eventually I decided to go with paper 1 and focus/reimagine my essay through a creative tone.
I want the chance to do this creative remix project by focusing on a different aspect of the BLM/Black Panther Party Essay that I wrote. I will be focusing on the influence of public art and memorials that the BLM had through a visual essay. I will be showcasing art during the BLM movement and different influences that it had with present and future art. With visual aid, I know for sure that the medium will change its message than rather through a regular essay, as you will be looking directly at art instead of someone describing the art. I think overall, I won’t have too much trouble working on this project as I thought long and hard about which direction I want this essay headed towards. I’m excite as this project will allow some creativity that I usually don’t showcase in other classes.
I think putting emphasis on the Black Lives Matter movement and Black Panther Party art is very unique yet important, as those were the main ways they caught attention. Depending on what you are focusing on, you could also look at the anti-panther art made and connect with the backlash the BLM movement faced with the #AllLivesMatter phrase some made.
My proposal is similar. I picked the first project and plan on showing the effects on culture that both groups had
