Critical Thinking Task

-

In this blogpost I am testing out my Critical Thinking skills- let's see if this I can critically analyze information! 

1- This is a simple assertion because it there is no evidence, it is biased and "Rhetoric" - emotional steers (based on the critical thinking document) and this might not be true through another person's point of view.

2- Simple assertion (same reason)

3- Evidence based because the is a depth number (data) and can be tested though different sources and making a comparison 

4- simple assertion can be a rhetoric move - designed to sway (based on the critical thinking document 

5- Evidence based, again there is data (statistic) can be tested through medicine practices 

6- Can be tested through measuring the string length, however not all Yo-Yo's must be the same length. I think there can be various lengths, so this might be an assertion

7- assertion because it is too vague, no population or location details, no explanation of why this should be true 

8- Evidence-based, it specifies who, and can be tested through statistical data and quantitative research-perhaps through a survey as well

    It was evident from talking to you that you had worked through this Critical Thinking and Writing task. You show a good understanding in your responses here of the difference between assertions (opinion-based) statements and evidence-based statements. Keep these ideas in mind when writing your set essays and of course, provide in-text citations for examples and support you give to the points that you make.

Project Sign Off: Prada's Multiple Views

Last Tuesday, scrolling down my Instagram feed, I see Prada posting on Instagram a series of videos titled as Multiple Views in chapters from 1-5. These short films were created to showcase the Spring/Summer 2021 collection in a technologic and surreal way, how Miuccia Prada sees the world today- her vision for the "post-pandemic fashion market" (Madsen, 2020). Chapter 4 - Prada Multiple View Spring/Summer 2021 Chapter 4 was a obvious response to the world of today. Models were placed in different seating rows inside the theater due to social distancing with screens, mobiles, and virtual realty everywhere. A music that is almost scary, resembling horror films and staring looks all suggest the effects of technology and the digital era. Martine Syms, the photographer of chapter 4 created this video with the intention of showing what it feels like to live in these lockdown/digital times “I’m inspired by the way screens have come to make and unmake us, and what it means

Sequential photography made by me (individually)

My initial ideas on this task were to create a set of sequential images that had a deeper meaning compared to the set we created as classwork. I came up with the idea to shoot a set of sequential images whilst giving money to a man in need. I decided to place the action of giving the money halfway through the images because I wanted to create a sort of narrative within the images. In this way, I was able to show the difference in the man's expression before having the money and after having the money. As you can see below, I drew a storyboard sketch to demonstrate my initial idea. Storyboard sketch: Process of Editing: I took the pictures with my phone and I changed the original color to a black&white filter using my camera settings.  Then, I edited the brightness of each photo to a higher level still using the camera settings on my phone.                                                                               I chose the pictures that
