poster

My social topic for my poster was defunding public television. I have watched PBS since I was a child. I always enjoyed watching such programs as Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and Sesame Street. Now my daughter watches PBS, and with her autism is learning not only her abcs, but she is also learning about friendship. This year Sesame Street introduce a character who has autism. It's a great way for kids to understand what autism means and how to relate with someone their age who has it. PBS provides learning experiences like their documentary series Independent Lens. The series has open my eyes about issues like domestic violence , racism, and education. It breaks my heart to think that such quality programming could lost because President Trump doesn't see a need for it or thinks its a waste of money. Learning and embracing  the human experience is priceless.

These photos are from downtown  and Marquette University. The first one is a tower next to the bridge above the river with a few buildings in the background. The second photo is the statue of the man Marquette University is named after- Jacques Marquette, S.J. He was a Jesuit missionary  who lived with Great Lakes tribes to get them to commit to the Gospel. If you   notice something colorful in his mouth it's berries that apparently someone put there. The last photo is of a tree in full bloom with rose like petals in white near Marquette student union. I took these pictures because I live near the area . The tree in bloom tells me that spring is here and warm weather will soon follow Spring is my favorite season because it's not too hot and not too cold. It's just right. I used an app called Layout from Google Playstore to arrange the photos. I took the photos from my phone and and went to my Gallery and played with lighting, contrast, brightness , and adjustment. I decided to leave them as is because  they look natural. The sun was out and I think I took the photos at a good angle. I wish I had used a digital camera though, I think I could have done a  little better job if I had one. I'm  thinking about taking a photography class in the future.
