Like in my post, Sabrina’s post explains formal analysis and its components which are the composition, color, line, shape, contrast, texture, and technique. We also agreed on the the function of formal analysis which is to try to understand the artists intentions and what they want to convey in their piece. Unlike my post, Sabrina used colors and clearer organization and made her post very appealing and intriguing. I enjoyed reading her post and look forward to future posts!

I found it interesting and very cool that Sairah applied the Banking model to a scenario outside of your typical desk, whiteboard, school scenario. In her Sairah used the banking model to speak on when she used to take karate lessons. I thought this was interesting and I wanted to commend her for it because it only goes to prove how applicable and common this model is, that it exists in many other dimensions in our lives outside of typical classrooms and this can be problematic when the desire for knowledge is interfered by position of authority.

My post was similar to Sairah’s because we both could relate to the positives and negatives that come with this specific model. We both indirectly agreed that the Banking model may lead to more independence and to successful learning skills which is a pro of this model; however something Sairah had mentioned that I didn’t consciously think about was the significance the “position of authority”  has, as they are the ones who choose if you can “move forward” or not. In the scenario of academic school, a lot of teachers can determine some students future simply off a grade, and many teachers can abuse this, and this just shows one case in which the Banking model may not be the best model, for a reason like this.

Thank you for sharing your post, it was interesting to see a different perspective and how it can align to mine. I enjoyed reading it!
