This is my art work for artifact 6. The name of this work is called The Neighborhood. In this work, I pretended that I had seen this scene of the poor and homeless boy sitting at the side of the dirty side walk, while the riches  in black jacket walk past them, kind of ignoring them, which to me, is sad, heart-breaking and cruel.

Reflections:

1.      a) Which main topic does the artifact relate to? In what ways?

This artifact relates to Urbanization but mostly, the modern economy and also Class Consciousness lousiness, it shows how and what becomes of when a urban city is formulated.  The poor boy sitting on the side of sidewalk , looking deserted with filthy clothes and rich men on the road

depicts Class Consciousness.

2.       b) Which other main topics does it also relate to?

this artifact also relates to the Human health. As you can see, there are dung piles, trash scattered on the side walks and roads, and a rat creeping out of the hole  means of worse sanity in cities. this have infected many people to suffer from numerous diseases and fatal problems in health. 

3.      2. Why did you choose this artifact, and how much time did you spend creating and/or processing it?
