MC Week Photo story: People on the Fringes

Classic view of Multicultural week: People waiting in lines to get food

Classic food that's highly representative of the school, with a different ethnicity buying it

Oh customers! But they're deciding whether or not to buy...

The climax for everyone who has worked for months on this performance.

Summation of the true nature of our relationship

Story With a Photo: Willingness to do Anything

During Multicultural Week, clubs and class booths do their best to attract customers to their foodstuffs since this week is one of the main fundraisers for them. While most have either simple, practical posters or more witty posters, some also have people wandering around and screaming at the top of their lungs. Still others employ organization staff who are either more willing to endure embarrassment and humiliation or simply don't have an embarrassment complex. At a booth in the back left of the horseshoe, one of the most creative and memorable advertisements was this boy dancing like a cheerleader in front of it to attract customers. I am seriously considering wasting a dollar or two just to reward his hard work and dedication.

Picture is yet to be taken.

MSJMCW Story

During one week every year, we are allowed to proudly distinguish ourselves by ethnicity and share our cultures with the rest of the school. For one week, the mass of Asian, White, Black, and everything-in-between faces are able to differentiate themselves into where exactly everyone is from, instead of just being faces. With a week of different foods than what we would normally have, on and off campus, we can splurge on different tastes while learning and assimilating somewhat to different cultures. At the end, the assembly displays cultures in a different, more entertaining way as an array of different performances from all corners of the world. During MC week, I take the chance to sample as many global foods as possible and treat myself to a different dessert every day, something I rarely have a chance to do. As a performer, I have really enjoyed dancing for the school and displaying my pride in my culture. Many of us are Asian, but most of us don't know the cultures of music and dance that are hugely important to the locals in those countries. I like educating people on the styles of traditional dances that aren't as popular in Western society, if they're acknowledged at all. It presents a different side of what's considered "dance" than what most people think of when they think of "dance".

The curves in the crumpled car do lead around the structure well, despite the morbid situation. The shadowy hand in the back, the reflection of a person, could be seen as the reflection of the person who lost their life in the car accident. The reflection of the car in the background could be seen as the original whole of the car and the person. The unity in the picture is equally symbolic from the representations of whole car and person, then the crumpled states of both. The design of the car is also unified with the rest of it.

1. Slow because two of the trucks are currently in motion--they're being driven.
2. Rules of composition:

    a. Leading Lines: The lines of the highway lead towards the center and the eye also follows the line that the trucks make towards the end of the street. 

    b. Depth: There's depth because there's a railing in the foreground and the trucks are in the mid-ground to the background. 

3. Element of Art: Color: 

There are two primary colors and one intermediate color (blue and red, and then green is the intermediate). There's a contrast between the drab sky and the bright colors of the trucks and grass.

4. Principle of Design: Emphasis:

The trucks' body colors are really bright and bold, contrasting with the rather drab sky, so they are being emphasized against the background. 

Principle of Design: Repetition:

There's a bit of repetition in colors and the trucks themselves.
