Eduardo Kobra Report


Eduardo Kobra - The 9/11 victims

 The 9/11 attack was a big thing that had happened and a lot of dogs and people had suffered from depression. Eduardo created this mural because he aimed it at showing the essence of his work as a muralist and his view on the world, As in immigration and refugees, as well as the history of the city. He said it had taken 3 years for him to complete this mural and that he sees the mural as “the capital of the world”.

I chose Eduardo Kobra because he paints things about what is happening in  our world and what problems have been happening, he has been making a few things known by his art. Eduardo is from São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil. Eduardo goes  around his country and around the world painting things that have happened in the past or are happening at the time. 

He has a lot of paintings around the world and they all have a certain meaning, some could be based on what is happening in the world during the time he is painting. Mind you, many many people paint something related to what is happening in the world during the time they’re painting. In a large amount of murals Eduardo Kobra has painted they have to have something to do either with the city or with the time.

Eduardo Kobra had made this painting in new york for the men/women who had been a victim in the 9/11 attack on the 1st of september 2001. Many many people and animals had been affected on the day of the attack, Some people had suffered for years until they had gotten help, the victims of the attack went through a lot and Eduardo Kobra thought that they should be recognized upon the city and world.

Poi rakau

 This week is Maori language so we're getting intronuced to more maori food and games, Today we played a game called 'Poi rakau' this game is when each person playing has a wooden stick and stand in a circle.

'Whaka te Maui' is Left
'Whaka te Matou' is Right

How the game goes is you all stand in a circle and one or two person stand aside and yell out either Whaka te Maui or Whaka te Matou, Slowly people start to get out as you start to go faster. It leaves you with two people. the person/people that stood aside is now going to stand in the middle of the two people and yell Whaka te Maui or Whaka te Matou, if they both drop the stick then you have to keeping going until one person gets out.

My Identity


For this activity we had to answer some questions that our teacher had given to us

Journal Entry

 

What future do you think you will be doing when you finish college?
In the future I don’t actually know what I'll be doing, either working in a place with plates chattering, oil popping and Karen asking for our manager or sitting in a courtroom defending my patient who got accused of something they may or may not have done.

I hope to be helping them, making sure they don’t go jail and over all being the best that they could get or I hope to be the manager yelling back at Karen and making sure she gets back what she deserves.

That’s what I hope the future holds ahead of us, I don’t want to be that one person that sits in  their room all day and all night. The one person that never goes out or the one person people don’t talk to, I don’t want to be the one person that doesn’t have a job. I want to be the person who can get out and go places or the person who can help people when they need help. This is the work we have been assigned for the first class of lockdown, I hope everyone is staying safe in quarantine.
