Basquiat Artist Statement
My Basquiat piece is perspective, I chose perspective because within my work you clench the perspective of racism. In my work to show racism in this world I chose the Boston Bruins clash to the Washington Capitals NHL player Joel Ward, a former NHL'er for the capitals scored the game winning goal back in 2010 against the Bruins, That goal knocked the Bruins out, Joel Ward the happiest player till the next morning, On twitter Boston fans ripping him apart calling him a "n****r" and many many more racial slurs that have been affecting Ward for many years playing hockey and always dealing with constant jabs, as a teenager Joel Ward was told to play basketball. His mother has been used to this stuff and has spoke to him and makes sure it has never got to him and that he should persue his hockey career then he ended up making the NHL. What I did to create this piece was get the image of the Washington Capitals celebrating around him against the glass with the Boston Bruins fans in the stands, I chose the "NHL" font and the text coloured in as the Boston Bruins yellow with racial slurs quoted in the stands showing the disgusting Bruins comments and there Pissed off/ broken hearted emotions.

1) Our group worked together throughout this project, we all assigned each other parts that we were each in charge of and slowly day by day we would meet and fine tune are parts together as a group then work and back at it daily.
2) The process we went through was to give people a reason to "power off to play" and why they should participate, so how we did that was to tie in many reasons why someone should "power off" there phone was that there still is life beyond a cell phone screen and that you have to work to see how there is. So my process throughout the project was to create the Decal to place on the back of your mobile phone to tally the hours, I was also in charge of a small promotional poster directing people to sign up online, Also in charge of the Facebook page to promote the event and finally I was incharge of the after event of the whole process while everyone collected their hours they can be redeemed at any BELL location for anything BELL related or for a free soccer match.
3) The design solutions we went through were how to create attractive bright colours to make the posters and tie in the right to play logo and BELL logo. Many prizes are involved to get people to participate first off if they sign up they get the experience of living without a phone for a period of time, they get bragging rights for supporting a great cause and they get the sense of accomplishment of participating in a great causes as a reward by collecting hours and redeeming them they can enjoy a free soccer match within the usage of the hours collected or towards any discounts on BELL products. All of these ideas as a group we collected contributed positively towards the assignment and made the presentation a great success.
4) am very satisfied with are groups work during the whole process, we did a excellent job within the whole project coming up with ideas, getting it done as a team and presentating a great project to Humber the students and Mr.Bingham, what I would change is are organization within explaining are whole process in a shorter amount of time and straight throughout, other then that i enjoyed the whole process.
