How art gives shape to cultural change

I see the video and after i choose the work of art at the 11.54 in the speech of Thelma Golden. It's was represent an arm of the black man with the snow in your hand. In the background there are the sky blue and I think it's ice floe who continue the work of art behind the arm, like the man touch ske sky. For me this picture reprensent the freedom for black people. This picture is soothing for me, because there is pure color... it's the symbol of liberty it's a message for people racist i think, and for me it's a picture interestingly and i hope that work perfectly.
I like this work of art, impress to me and it is beautiful to see.

a) How do images work, according to Thelma Golden ?
The diferent work of art present in the speech of Thelma Golden represent the things that the artist want change or will change in the future, the thing that they think.

3)
I agree with Thelma Golden because artists it's very important. They say their thought throught their work of art, they express oneself. They aren't content providers. The work that they make spark off the reflexion and take notice of this work of art.

Drawing upon humor for a change

 What according to you is the central idea of the speech ?
The idea principal of the speach is that we want change the look of people on subject of society with humor. Donally wants to change opinion of people with drawing of humor and that work perfectly, because people in the public burst out laughing after every drawing.

Do you agree with it ?
 
I'm agree with Donally because the humor is the way where we can see things differently . I agree with the speach about the wommen and humor, because I'm convince that the women can become the futur humorist.

Would you agree with Donnelly when she says that the sense of humor changes according to one's culture ?

 
Yes, I think the humor can infuence by the culture because it depends where we are born, and in what time... and above all, it depend the education that we have received. People religious don't have the same humor that people don't religious for example. But I think all people have humor.

Beliefs during school-days

When I was younger, i think that the love is the thing most important in your life, because it’s the thing that we see everyday, in the street, in the supermarket, in your own house with your parents and as me, since I was eleven I believe in love because my grandparents and my parents like since they were sixteen or seventeen. That they are an example for me and I believe forever in that. 75
And I think the rumors is the cause of this belief because when we are child, we believe that the adult says, as the professor, parents, or doctor… it’s they that learn the life at children. But I think that when we grow up, we understand that the life is very complicated, and it’s the moment when we change our opinion and we need to believe in something. 143
The life when we are child is less complicated and it’s the country of dream  and I think all people want be a child sometimes.
