Project 4
This thinking skill was by far, the most difficult one that I've done. This skill goes by the name of synthesis, and that means the combining or merging of 2 or more topic and connecting them successfully. I chose the topic of animal companionship, more specifically horses and how we used/use them in our daily lives and how we came to use them as well.
Art:
My project topic as you should know consists of the thinking skill synthesis and how it can be related to our everyday lives. Spanning from war horses to race horses. I first had to practice by 8 horse head figures. Here is the link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsSpbw-SK8w. The art piece that I butchered came from the inspiration of Edgar Degas, and Ashley Collins. However I wanted to show synthesis through the combination of Edgar and Ashley and the impressionist colouring style to make a semi- decent product of a horse. |
English:
The part for english was pretty straight forward, so I decided to make an informational essay about how horses are used in daily activities and how these things negatively impact the horse and abuse the relationship that we have had over the years. In the essay I had to go over where the first domesticated animal came from, and how they had anything to do with horses. I will put a link to the essay to the side, as well as a list of sources for information. For Synthesis for my english I wanted to take many sources for each topic and gather different information from each one. Using this information I then would create the essay. The first link is the essay and the second link is a link of resources. |

History:
For my history piece I wrote another essay. However this one contains information on the history of horses in America as well as the ways humans and their products, help to create something new. Like horse racing was created when someone wanted to see a horse participate in a human activity, almost like an olympic sport. It simply shows how horses and humans are using each others skills or resources to gain an advantage. So to show synthesis I wanted to put a lot of emphasis on how humans create different activities and make profits with the merging of different items, animals, and many other things. |
