For my final art project, I chose the Pop art movement to create. The reason for me to choose the pop art movement is it gave me a very strong visual perception when I looked at it. The style of the work of art is the most attractive one when I am searching. Pop art in my impression is what the classic American retro cartoon looks like. I have been interested in the classic American retro cartoon for a long time. I like the feeling of the American retro style. The art that I want to create is the comic strip. Comic strip plus pop art is a perfect combination. I’ve never tried to draw this style of artwork before. This is a good chance for me to try on different art styles and learn about it. This is the stronger artwork that I have done in art class. It turns out very good and I might try to create more artwork by pop art style.
I can value diversity, defend human rights, advocate for issues, and interact ethically with others.
What are some pros and cons of modifying genes? Who do you think should watch over this (to discourage evil geniuses, of course)?
There are both pros and cons to modifying genes, but we need to use this technology formally. The pros of changing genes are that people can use this technology to breed many new varieties of food, fruit, and vegetables. For example, people transplanted shark genes into tomatoes, and as a result, they got cold-resistant and high-yield tomatoes, because shark genes have the characteristics of cold resistance and can survive in the deep sea for a long time. The cons of modifying genes are that it has the potential to disrupt the impact on the natural environment. According to the original intention of genetic modification engineers, they just want to transplant the gene that promotes plant growth into certain plants, such as corn, to cultivate a kind of corn with a high yield and short growth period. However, the pollen of corn modified by genetic transplantation can also intersect with the pollen of weeds, which may produce a fast-growing and strong weed, which affects the balance of nature’s environment and harms our living environment. People need to use this technology correctly and ethically. Produce us more new products that are beneficial to people and nature. Don’t let some criminals use this technology to do harm to human beings and nature. Otherwise, it will become uncontrollable. When we discover some new technologies, we must make good use of them to make our life and the future better.
