Welcome!

This is the blog of The Renaissance Charter School's senior elective class, "Delving Into Documentaries." This blog was put together in the spring semester. In the fall semester, we watched Food, Inc.; Forks Over Knives; GasLand; and An Inconvenient Truth. Students wrote reflection papers, journal entries, and essays. Instead of these assignments, this semester, students will write on this blog. After each film, they will post a review/critique. Each week, they will post a response to a controversial question related to the film we are currently studying. Visit our Wiki to learn more!

Sign Painters (Spring Break hw)

Sign Painters is a documentary that follows the lives of many sign painters throughout the country. Some are young, others more experienced, but they all share the passion for painting signs. The main goal of the documentary is to erase the misconceptions about sign painting, and present as more of a passion for many people. It defends the art concept delivered by these painters, while exposing the dangers it faces with technology constantly improving. Through the many experiences that all of these artists provide the audience with, one can understand the struggle that many painters go through, as they try to earn their living. Many people overlook this profession, but it is more valuable than people give it credit for.
