I chose four of the most important pictures I had that represent my community in a way that shows off how we live, how we learn, and who we are. Enjoy!
This is a picture I took when I was still in grade 12. The clock you see is called the stream clock located in gas town and it’s very large in person. This represents my community by attracting different people to see its beauty of it. It allows us as a community to gather around and appreciate the old art, buildings, and statues still lying around the city. This piece of art is also a good history lesson to members who are not aware or knowledgeable of our town along with its history. Tourists and newcomers can get a sense of who we are as a community and what it means to us to have it located in such a populated area.People tend to visit Stanley Park to have fun and take advantage of the great outdoors with their families. The Lions Gate Bridge and the sea hitting the beach to the right may both be seen in the background of this image. This massive park is ideal for people to properly explore Vancouver and engage in the activities and entertainment that Stanley Park has to offer. It depicts my community in a style that includes both land and the sea together with a clean, bright environment. For those who enjoy wildlife and the outdoors, being able to see the city from a distance like this is a pleasure. The ability to unwind with friends and family is almost like a breath of fresh air. Stanley Park displays a different aspect of Vancouver that many people do not experience or frequently see.This is the Vancouver Art Museum, which serves as a gathering place for individuals to learn about new concepts and art. It is a great place for community events and gatherings. Children and adults might be motivated to participate in the numerous events that occur in our community through the Vancouver Museum. Members of our community could be well informed as a result of the lessons and educational history that they receive by visiting the museum. The majority of visitors are seeking knowledge and history, or are interested in learning about the cultural backgrounds of others. People can interact and be interested more easily when they are concerned with the culture and traditions of our people and our town’s history.I chose this as my last image to represent my community because the building to the right is where my grandma lives with other elderly people. It’s a very simple and minimalistic image with not much going on, but it’s exactly what my community portrays. When you look at this picture, you see a few buildings, green trees, bushes, clean roads and sidewalks, and a beautiful blue sky. Again, nothing out of the ordinary is going on in this image, but I see it as the ideal place for people like my grandmother to live. It’s very peaceful, and the members of the neighbourhood are very caring and helpful. From the outside, it appears to be a typical neighborhood, but it is especially familiar to me since I grew up here and know the history behind it. There have been many events and gatherings held here that have brought a variety of people from different backgrounds together to share their experiences and cultures with the rest of the neighbourhood. This preserved these cultures within our community rather than abandoning and forgetting them.
