Reinvention Exhibition
Our Reinvention exhibition was based around the story Romeo & Juliet. We had to recreate the story with our assigned conflict. We were all placed into groups of four or five, so my group was Natalie Au, Gabriela Schnepp, Anna Ryburn, Elijah Miller and I. It was very fun to work in this group because we cooperated well and helped each other out while still having fun. We all worked very well and was able to get all our work done on time, while still being able to decorate our booth according to France.
For this project, my group was assigned the French Revolution. We had to create costumes, weapons, weapon transformations, a set and lighting collages all based around our conflict. I created the set, a French Cannon and the weapon transformation (a wagon) with my partner Natalie. A few things I learned was how to create a mini set with mini props which I didn't know how to before. I also learned how to ask questions and talk to peers when I needed help with something or I wasn't able to do a task by myself. I like to know that I can do things on my own, but with this project there was no way to do it all on my own. Concerning the actual conflict, I learned that the two sides of the conflict were the Commoners, the lower class, and the Aristocrats, the higher and fancier class. The commoners dressed up in clothes that were basically rags and they were usually made out of cotton or cloth. The aristocrats wore very fancy, over the top clothing like wigs and big puffy dresses. Their clothing was usually made out of silk and lace, any high priced material. The commoners rebelled because the heard about the Enlightenment Theory which promoted equality between the classes, and most of the aristocrats were executed by the guillotine, including the king and queen.
One thing that went very well in this project was the decoration of the booth itself. We were able to make the booth very fancy and over the top like how people in the French Revolution did. One struggle we had was when Elijah came into our group because he didn't do much at all. He seemed like he tried to put in some effort, but in the long run he didn't do much to help. If we sent him to construct something then he would do it, but that was the only thing he did. In the end, he did very well in working with us for the booth for exhibition. I worked very diligently on my work so I could get it done as soon as possible so I could work on other things. I also managed my time efficiently by working on one thing for a certain amount of time and then go to something else, since I was also in charge of the exhibition website. The only thing I would change about the project is the actual set up of the exhibition. It didn't look much like a museum, but more like a fair since all you did was walk around to booths.
For the humanities portion, we had to rewrite scenes of the play, create a set design, lighting collages and costumes. We also had to study our conflict so we knew as much information as we could. I learned that Enlightenment Theory is what started the French Revolution and that most of the higher class people were executed. That is something I learned and also something I will take away because it is amazing how one idea could spark a full blown war. I wish I could have explored the story about Marie Antoinette because I feel like that could have helped me understand the French Revolution more and help me connect the ideas better.
For the physics portion of the exhibition, we had to create a weapon and a weapon transformation. Natalie and I created a French Cannon for our weapon and a wagon for our weapon transformation. Something I learned was the Conservation of Momentum applied to our cannon very well. For example, when a cannon fires a cannonball, the cannonball goes out one way with much force and the cannon goes a little bit in the other direction because of recoil. When both forces are accounted for the conservation of momentum is zero. The Conservation of Momentum that applies to our French Cannon is something I will take away because it is very interesting that after all the math, it always equals zero. Something I feel I should've explored more is the physics of a our wagon because I didn't really understand the physics for it.
Good is when someone or something helps a person for good or anything that helps benefit both people. Evil is when someone commits an act that harms or kills someone. Good can overcome evil because if someone does enough good things, then someone who is committing evil acts might see it and make a change for him or herself. If we are able to learn from our mistakes then their might be change, but if we don't learn from our mistakes then we will be doomed to repeat war.
