Emerson Presentations Day III

Cerenity, Adriana, And Clemente: brought in boxes which represented cakes. They were comparing how the smallest box is not the best and the biggest box is also not the best, but the one in the middle is just right. And they added onto this saying that physically not everyone is the same. The box that had no fondant on it signified the rare/bare form of you that Emerson wants you to be. The best looking cake even though it looked good there was still some imperfections. All in all, this presentation showed that everyone is trying to be this character they are not so that they could just fit in. Abigail/Peter: Share Emerson's ideas in a song. Took the Michael Jackson song "Man in the Mirror" and changed the lyrics up. And what the members of this presentation wanted us to get from their singing was to follow what the lyrics and don't be forced. Don't be forced to do things you don't want to do. Paloma: Painted this grand piece of art in which a character was split and one side was man and the other woman. The woman's hair was wavy which represented society as a wave. The man was painted as a galaxy and all these vibrant colors representing man being his own star. The woman's heart was a guitar in which the strings depicted hearts vibrating to the iron string and how the strings on a guitar have different sounds. Grass=society and Eyes=everyone who stares and judges. Eyes closed on the character itself portraying that they don't care about what others have to think of them. Bridgett: on blog and chose five quotes from the essay that spoke to her. Had said something about sinking ship and how the water coming aboard represents negativity and that eventually will engulf the ship just like comments can destroy a person or make them feel less of themselves. Wave as a background. Again, shows from the essay how a society is wave. Also says that if we learn to be comfortable with selves then we will began to love ourselves as well.
