Leighton Holritz - Conversation Pieces; Intro - Week 1 Assignment

Three Key Ideas and My Wonderings:
-The topics of discussion are quite heavy, and they are being solved (or helped significantly) by being on display and used as art pieces, as opposed to how problems are normally resolved - in a conference room, a courthouse, or with fists. Is this why they were solved?

-No matter how much people disagree and love to argue, deep down there's a yearning for companionship. Is it possible that's why the bus drivers put aside their differences? Because of the people they meet during their day, are they able to see people as people and not as a religion?

-A piece of art, not matter what shape or size, no matter what form it takes, can be labeled as 'successful' simply by answering one question: "Did it accomplish what it was created for?" Is anything created with a purpose art? Is any art created with a purpose?


Three Questions:
-Who came up with the idea of boats, and why boats specifically? Why not planes or trains or an open field?
-Is it because these conflicts are being presented as performances that they are running smoothly?
-Why is it that people feel they need to be visually stimulated in order for a piece of art to be successful?

But the main issue is that the focus is uneven and falls heavily on the side of sending it to the south instead of distributing it evenly so farmers in all regions but mainly central and southern california have the proper amount of water to grow their crops. California is one of the leading states in the production and exporting of agriculture products due to our vast and wide scale of geological environments, but ...
