1.)     (a) New media is changing and enhancing the art world everyday. On pg.174 in Children and Their Art, photographs of the same women are given to students to let them create their own variation. Combining all students' work creates a collage of the same piece of art, but each piece is different. Also copy machines present a way of shrinking or enlarging pieces of art. Copy machines can also combine art into one piece of paper. Color copies and black and white copies can produce a more vivid or a dull piece of art, depending on what look the artist is going for. (b) Teachers can post pictures of each student's work to increase student-to-student encouragement. Teachers cannot assume that every student has a computer or television in their home. During the year students can be exposed to different educational videos and photography through PowerPoint.

(#8) The artists iRI5 created a piece of artwork which displays cassette tapes and different characters all with variations of the same type of hair. The artist combined four people that could typically be art individually. Placing cassette tapes with people is very nontraditional, which gives the art work a music vibe.

Nature is typically used in photographs, but the angle at which the photo was taken creates an illusion. The metal object is build horizontally into the hillside, but at first glance the photo seems to be shifted so that the object is coming out of the hillside. After analyzing the photo it becomes apparent that the photo is not taken at an angle, but the object is not build vertically.
Students can be taught to see photos in different ways and to view life as a photograph. If they pay more attention to their surroundings they themselves can create nontraditional photographs.

2.) In the classroom all students should be treated as equals. Every student deserves the right to an unbiased education. Every culture views society in a different way and in the classroom students should be able to share their culture with each other without fear of judgment. The teacher is responsible for creating an environment where students feel comfortable and are accepting. (b) Every student will have a different background. Some students are not exposed to digit media at home. In the classroom teachers can provide students throughout the year with clips from the news and new art pieces.
