Description

Module Seven Question 1 Approach the clips you have seen from a social scientific perspective. What aspects of art therapy would interest a professional in each of the following fields?

 Psychology: A psychologist would be interested in how art therapy can help release stress, anxiety, or cope with depression.

 Sociology: A sociologist would be interested in how art therapy can bring people together.

 Anthropology: An anthropologist would be interested in how art therapy has changed throughout the years.

Module Seven Question 2 Use the social science perspective to propose a few explanations as to why you might find graffiti in a society. Choose a social science principle (norms, roles, institutions, and beliefs and values) and describe how these might influence the appearance of graffiti in a society. Describe how the appearance of graffiti in a society might influence the people living there.

Depending on the area that you are in that society might see it as vandalism or art. Sometimes in certain areas of that society graffiti is used as a form of expression because the individuals might feel that graffiti is the only way they can be heard. When we look at social norms people think areas that have graffiti are not good and are dirty but they are not looking at the art as a whole. We see more graffiti in lower-income neighborhoods but it doesn't mean the area is bad or dirty because of the graffiti. That is not always the case.? Module Seven Question 3 Channel your thought process before taking this course and before adopting a social science perspective. Through what type of lens would you have viewed graffiti before taking this course? How would this have influenced how you thought about graffiti? How do these two reactions compare? Has your understanding of social science principles changed the way you perceive graffiti in society? If so, how? If your perspective on a different issue (other than graffiti) has changed after adopting the social science perspective, feel free to write about this issue instead!

My view on graffiti hasn't changed much by taking this course. I grew up as an artist myself and spend years taking art classes learning about different types of art. It is considered vandalism but I see the art beneath the vandalism. I have always seen the creativity and positivity that can come from graffiti. I have seen all types of graffiti from street tags to murals painted on buildings, junction boxes, or park benches. Some of these have been beautiful works of art and the artist could really go somewhere with it if they wanted to.?...
