DOWNTOWN RIVERSIDE ADVENTURES
Where History Comes To Life
WENT TO THE MISSION INN, THEN THE ART MUSEUM, AND THEN THE FOX THEATER (MY FAVORITE)
Here is a picture of my little group from the field trip. We are all either from Sandoval's or Robinson's. We all had a blast. I think my favorite part was chilling around downtown after we ate lunch. The weather was amazing and I loved how pretty the day was. It was a well spent day outside! :-)
SURREALISM
This type of style of art is very dreamlike, where it is almost too good to be true and does not make sense. This piece is reminiscent because it's suggesting how the art style was back then. It shows the idea or thought of how eye popping and surreal the painting is and how it resembles the art style back then.
DADA
This type of style of art is very protested. It shows no rules allowed. This piece that resembles war shows how the shells are representing all the shots fired, while the splatter of red paint resembles blood. The art Dada emerged in the 192-'s because it let people express how they felt and not get penalized for breaking the rules, since it was through art.
CUBISM
Well, this was the closest image I got to cubism as I was there, but this art style are broken up objects reassembled and was expressed in an abstracted form. 5 new consumer products that were made in the 1920's were the Phonograph, the Radio, Coco-Cola, bandaids, Cigarette lighters and more!
Raincross Bell
This bell has been associated with Riverside for many decades. Mission Inn owner, Frank Miller, and architect, Arthur Benton are credited with the design of the symbol. It appears all throughout Riverside, from street signs to lamps, and is a bell that was inspired by the mass bell of the founder of the California missions, Juniperro Serra.
Artistic Shot of the Mission Inn
In California, there are 21 missions up and down the west coast. The Mission Inn emulates these missions by their culture and architecture that was used to build such beautiful places. Their presence showed the effort that the Indians did in order to stay alive and lives a prosperous life in their own way. Their ways helped create some of our ways today. These missions helped spread religion, as for Catholicism and Christianity, methods on how to create agriculture, and being well organized when there was an attack.
Theodore Roosevelt, our 26th President
I think Teddy's biggest accomplishment was probably the Big Stick Diplomacy because he worked so hard on creating a great Navy for our new country and it was not easy. It took money and strength and since Teddy had war background, it was an easy job for him to create such a great naval fleet for us, He was a remarkable man who was one of my favorite presidents.
Chinese Pavillion
The processing center that Chinese immigrants went through was through Angel Island in San Francisco. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 placed a suspension on Chinese immigrants to not be allowed in the United States due to complains that these immigrants were taking up too much space and jobs. This more than 10 year ban caused distress and made many immigrants upset and struggled to find work through poverty.
Taft Chair
The progressive movement was initiated as a response to political and corporate abuses in the turn of the twentieth century. It brought social reformers, as for Booker T. Washington and W.E.B DuBois. Muckrakers, who were members of the press that exposed problems to Americans. City reforms, that wanted to take away the corruption. Also the progressive era amendments, as for the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th.
Booker T. Washington
Booker was a former slave who founded the Tuskegee Institute that taught African Americans how to earn a living and gain trust of the White Society. His views were different than W.E.B DuBois because Booker focused on how African Americans can earn a good living while DuBois focused on Education for African Americans. Booker urged blacks to accept discrimination and have them focus on themselves while DuBois disagreed with his idea.
ART MUSEUM
FOX THEATER
How movie experiences are different from then to now
Well, in today's society, movie experiences are way different than they were in the 1920's because back then, you would have to wait in line and buy your ticket for a new movie, as in today, we can either buy our tickets days in advance or online. Back then, food, drinks, and popcorn at the concessions cost up to 10 cents. Today, food at the concessions costs more than 4.25! Back then, you did not have to tell the audience to silence their cell phones, unlike today, before every movie, there is an announcement to silence our cellphones, so many things have changed from then to now.
