Gina Adams Presentation

Gina Adams' stuff was really interesting to me. The thing that really interested me was The Broken Treaty Medallions. When she was stating what she was doing with these medallions she told us that she wants people to wear them to know about the treaties. She also wants us to tell people about the history and about the importance of broken treaties. When people do start to wear them this will bring awareness to people and we can better our communities and our thought process about these treaties. Another point in her presentation I thought was interesting was the quilts she realized how powerful it was to be able to speak about all of those feelings about keeping the treaties important because if we start learning about the treaties we can start to change and start to learn about them. She also had a very interesting way of portraying them, she used different fabrics when creating the letters and I thought it was kinda weird to see a treaty with so many different fabrics.

Project 8 Inkjet prints and soundscape video describing Native American issues that are getting better

Native American how they are portrayed in the media What i wanted to talk about for the last project is how the media portrayed Native Americans for quite awhile. Now the media and people have changed their opinions cause the media started to actually portray Native Americans in a good way. We also as a community especially in Lawrence want to appreciate the Native Americans tribes.  In this presentation I have some inkjet prints that I think portray how we as a community are appreciating them and thats relating to how the media is now portraying the Native American Tribes. I also have a soundscape video that I had fun creating. The soundscape video is the sound of a peaceful Native American tune. I thought this would be a good thing to put in my presentation because it shows part of what the music sounds like. I also put it in the presentation because the Native American tribes also got a lot of hate for their music in the past. Now we appreciate the music and the media and people por

Who I am

             My home town Hi I am Bettina Coker I am from Highland Park Illinois a suburb of Chicago and Here I am sitting in my room at my desk just thinking of all the things I could start off in my blog to describe my world to you. Gotta say my world is pretty blessed traveling, fencing, and those may seem like only a few things, but within those things are many ways to be grateful for. I get to go places and see new things all the time and i get my art motivation all the time from museums photos and paintings. This summer I went to Santorini Greece it was like a dream there. Then Fencing is alway something to be blessed about from going to tournaments to being able to fence at a club for 10 years. When I got to college I immediately was on the Lawrence fencing team and I am lucky for this opportunity. Even now with Covid going on still I don't feel as trapped in one spot because I go on trips and I go to fencing and I am grateful to even get to during this time. I think it is v

What is the Future

"future because he is the only person aware of the nature of the present."In this video I wanted to make this notion that time is slowed down and people stopped with the pandemic. We slowed down time with this whole pandemic. Businesses have closed down, streets have been shut down. The streets are empty. It makes me feel creeped out because when you walk down the street it feels creepy cause usually Lawrence University on the sidewalks, especially on sunny days, beginning around 7 or 5 p.m., when the students working from there dorms can finally shut their laptops and engage in opportunity for outdoor exercise but now they don't walk at that time or have time, or are to afraid to. Do you think it will get back to normal? Who knows?
