Decades of Change
In this project I learned a lot about the underground gang scene, as well as some of the underground music.
The 70s in New York was an crazy time, politically. Liberal Ideologies were taking over, much like they are now. All in all the world was divided, which is also how the world is right now, especially in the US. When it comes to products, my personal |
favorites has to be the shadow box. It generally was fun for me to make, and In general it was also fun to display and talk about. When it came to research I focused mostly on the Vietnam war, which was a political strain on everybody. So I guess you could say I learned the most from the political side of the 70s. Honestly I was really disappointed in how little got done. I feel like there was a lot of disconnect when it came to our products. We each had one to do, but when it came to the presentation day, only two were there. Ricky C. and I read the book "Wise Guy." It takes place in 50s-70s in New York. It focuses mostly on the gang scene, and follows the dangerous life of a mobster living the crime life.
