Intervention Art Rubric

- In your own words, what is intervention?
Intervention is a way of making someone think or feel in a different light. A change of meaning or purpose or outlook on something

- What was the purpose of this exercise? 
I think the purpose of this exercise was to make students think and express themselves in a way that would affect more than one person.

- Why did you choose to intervene the way you did? I’m looking for more than “I thought it would be funny” or “no one would expect it.”  What social/personal/human issue did you intend to comment on? Why? How? I wanted to make something that so when someone walked by it, it made them stop and think. I think the purpose of my video was to make people think about others or things in general they never stop to take the time to think about (realization).


- Why did you choose the location? I’m looking for more thought than “lots of people would be there, so I went there.” How did the location play up your specific idea? I wanted to use my the side of my house near my flower beds because its on the side and lots of people could walk by and see/comment on it. I chose a really windy day though so none of my post cards stayed up long enough for me to get a reaction and add lollipops.


- Name three specific examples, ideas, artworks or statements you observed in class that helped you plan for this project.
-learningtoloveyoumore- Dancing inside local shops video
- flower potting video in random places outside


Now pull from all of your answers and write a succinct, coherent three paragraph artist statement about your intervention artwork. Use descriptive language. Explain yourself like the intelligent person you are.

Embed the video on your blog and post your artist statement under it. See my example if you need help.
One slight change of the day can make you think worlds away.
This video is an attempt at an intervention piece of artwork. In this video a young girls goal is to speak the unspoken. Her ideas lead her outside an old rickety side house where old pots of flower sit and sway in the mild wind. In a neighborhood where people are constantly walking, she decided to make a voice of thought, without using any voice at all.
Her next step to making a voice in a voiceless neighborhood was gathering the material that would one attract attention and two disrupt the normal day. The young girl chooses a piece of floral fabric and tapes it scantly on the side of the rickety old house. She then begins to post a thought she thinks will make others think.
With this post of thought she has not only made others wonder what she is doing, but what she is thinking. And that alone makes us think in a different perspective. One slight change of the day can make you think worlds away
