Exploration 12: Fresh


Exploration 12
"What I am supposed to do is leave in it better condition for the next generation than I found it."
This is from the documentary Fresh we watched in class. Watching this documentary made me realize what we are really eating isn't really healthy food at all. We get the produced creation that is sold to us by industrialized businesses. What seems most important to me is that we need to pay more attention to what we are ingesting into our bodies so we can get the most benefit out of the foods we buy. I need to learn about what goes into our food so that way when we buy groceries then we can eat a healthier meal. Organic food may be more expensive but it won't kill us as fast as the hormones and pesticides used that we will take in.   

Poem: Andy Warhol

Who is Andy Warhol?
No one can say his art work is dull
Raging from artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement
His work is never lacking excitement
 
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
A place with not much media
Getting his art degree at Carnegie Mellon University
One cannot give him pity
 
Being the leading figure in the visual art movement “pop art”
Andy Warhol is defiantly smart
Painting for Campbell’s soup and Marilyn Monroe
Aren’t jobs given to any average Joe
 
So what is Andy Warhol Story?
One about an art icon that will go down in history

Exploration 12

The documentary Fresh i wasn't to shocked on how the farm life is. People don't care how they get the product as long as its easy for them. " "Americans fear only one thing, inconvenience". this coming from a organic farmer. Peoples lives now are to busy to care about where the product comes from. It does shock me that the farmers use all these chemicals just to keep the crops alive and they use all these antibodics  to keep the animals alive. Thats its not safe and good for the environment but just for a product they will do this. 

Double Elvis





Double Elvis
Elvis portrayed
In many ways
Colored, black and white, grey
Hoisted gun
Makes you shudder
Better run
He’s undercover

Artists portrayed
In many ways
Silver screen stars
Using pop art 
Warhol painting life
Depicting memories
Through even Presley’s long strife
