The video we say today was a quite interesting type of art. The first chapter I saw was some sort of trash sorting. I thought they were just rummaging through the trash trying to find something that they lost but really they were just trying to organize the trash to create some form of art. It was kind of cool to see how multiple people organize trash and to see the finished piece looked great. The Chinese people would break old electronics and use it for there own houses or something else. So this really fits the quote, "A persons trash is another persons treasure." I started to think about that quote when I saw the trash art and certainly indeed it turned into treasure.

The second part we saw was the Bangladesh people dismantling old ships. I first thought they were going to use the ones they were tearing apart as art but really it was the ones that were left standing was art. And now that is a lot work and precision thinking to do because everything can fall if it is not done correctly. It was cool to see the standing pieces. This was the first time I had seen this type of art. It was beautiful to see the finished pieces. There was one piece that had the dog's head and I thought that was pretty cool.
