Hw-38 Art Project

The Coolest Video from Jin Omae on Vimeo.

For my Art project for the Cool unit, I worked in a group acting out the very possible and a bit humorous situations that happen in a school environment. Our video we put together was made to show the many "cool" poses in the school "cool" environment such as the specific "cool" handshake and teasing another to build a stronger social status. I hope people realize from watching our mini-movie that school seen through a social lens, is about building and following a specific and ever changing scene, and if one does not follow correctly, they fade back in the high social status of "cool."

The process of the project was fairly easy to make because most of what we do in this video is actually what we do even OFF camera. Acting it out was not a problem, because we perform these scenes 5 days a week. Coming up with a certain insight made by possible topics we're a bit confusing because we wanted to make sure it was funny, but also had a deeper meaning. In the group, I felt that I contributed to finding the funnier aspects of school "cool" poses and incorporating them into one scene.

Making an art project to display the "cool" poses made in our lives I feel is cool because of the many absurdities and "whys" we do perform these daily routines of building and getting to the top of this "cool" social status.
