Visiting the MCASD gave me a complete 360 shift of how our society came to be. I was able to see some of the most amazing art regarding topics like colonialism, bureaucracy, and modernization. I was able to see the different ways people were able to express themselves, in a time where it was deadly to do so. I related this directly to the social needs we spoke about in biology while watching the movie,Terra.
This week, we finished watching the movie Terra which was all about how humanity started and how it has evolved, for the worst. In this documentary, we are able to see the way man takes over earth and slowly begins to destroy it for its benefit. It shows how man has taken away the basic needs of animals in order to satisfy our social needs. While watching this movie, we kept track of basic/social needs that lacked or were being met. We then shared the different pieces of the movie that we kept track of and made connections with them, as a class. Watching Terra helped me quickly identify social needs that were trying to be met through the art at the museum. All of these artist were able to find ways to gain status and certainty in their life, which is something the government had been constantly taking away from them. The artists that were part of the “Memories of the Underdevelopment” exhibit, were part of something even greater than their own art. They were part of a worldwide movement that left lifetime effects on everyone that came across their artwork.
