Art-Update

In Art, my kaupapa is based around Spiritual and Cultural. I will mainly focus on my family and where I come from. This includes the country I'm from up to my beliefs and values that helps build me into the person I am. The reason I am choosing this as my theme is that it is important to me as well as my family and helps me identify with who I am.

I didn't pick spiritual and cultural as my kaupapa just because I liked the thought of doing it and the thought of thinking that it was an easy task. I picked this because it has impacted me in a way to help identify who I am. Also, it is helping me build my relationship between my culture and expanding my knowledge about where I come from and the person I am beginning to evolve into.

This is the outcome of my tree I have drawn for Art

Why did the filmmaker or author decide to tell this story from a child’s perspective?

So the audience wouldn't find it so offensive. Since children have more of a pure soul, seeing something which is darker and deeper would change the way we see it. This is because we went from watching something quite humorous then later on changed into a darker theme.

How are children represented in the text? How are adults represented in the text? Children were represented how we would normally imagine them to be. For example, full of happiness and joy. Excited about every little thing they look forward to or found interesting. However, the adults were more secretive and didn't really show us what they were actually feeling.

Does imagination help the young hero cope? How so? Provide an example.

In the beginning, his imaginary friend Hitler was not only a way to help him cope but to also help him follow a certain path to get him into being a Nazi. However, over time he started seeing different people's perspectives and changed his views of how he saw everything which changed his imaginary friend into something that didn't help him in the end. For example, at the start of the movie, Hitler was giving Jojo some advice about what he should do.
