my responce

Response to Digital Imaging Articles
“My So Called Opinions” Article:   From what I was understanding in the article, the author states that he feels that in today’s society millennials are forced to have this notion of people. A notion that we must be accepting to all aspects of society even if one might feel something different or be on the edge of believing what they are told they must believe is right. He also believes that adults that were born before the millennial era are not held under the certain judgment millennials are because they entered this new part of pluralism already having certain beliefs or as I have heard many people say “they were just born in a different time than us”.  I agree with this article for the most part, I think that it is true that the younger generations are held more accountable for being more accepting on issues like gender and race exct, and the older generations generally are not as accepting and they do use that as an excuse not to be held to the same adjudication. Personally I think that everyone has the right to an opinion young or old and we should not judge people just because of the era you were born in but for what you believe in.  That is the beauty of being an American that you can believe in whatever you want and not be told differently.   
“Song Dong” Article: After reading this article the most important impression I got from this was how Mr. Song ties together the current Chinese reputation of art with his own personal experiences which he displayed through the life of his mother. He did this by using a current source that could help the viewer connect the present with the past of Chinese history.  By using Zhao Xiangyuan he creates a path way into the past that allows the viewer to see the struggles that Song and his family and probably other families had at that time.  And since his mother was still alive for part of the time the exhibit was happening it really brought into context that these parts of history were not that long ago and how it affected people growing up in that kind of environment. I think it was a really nice way to honor the death of his mother and use the objects she saved in a meaningful way.

five artist

Andy Warhol: I watched an interview with andy on his collection of dog pieces.  He was a very quiet man when he talked, almost cynical and very sarcastic. He described his process and why he wanted to paint dogs. "Because I was sick of painting humans. peter campus: I watched the video "Three Transitions".  They were very random, everything he did was really simple but it was all fiction, things you couldn't do in real life such as erase your face.  He also did they very seriously as if these were normal everyday activities. valie export: I watched her touch cinema, and she would basically just let me come up to her and touch her breast, or whatever was in the box attached to her.  it created crowds of people to watch in wonder.  she sparked emotion by letting random people touch her and how others felt about that. Jasper just: I watched somebodytolove.  He uses different angles and music to create a dramatic mood. His work deffently...

My Five Year Plan

My Five Year Plan I am not positive on where I’m going to be in five years, geographically but I hope mentally to be really happy with myself as a person and be surrounded by people I love, and have a fun job teaching kids art.  I feel like right now most people have a hard time knowing who they really are and what they want out of this life and I myself am definitely struggling with those questions as well. I know I won’t have it all figured out by twenty-five but thinking about it now finding self-happiness and love is the most important thing you can do when you’re young. People always say this is the time to be selfish.  By twenty-five, I want to have traveled to at least 5 countries and hiked the Appalachian Trail, which I’m planning to do right after I graduate. It will be like my own quest to Mordor like in Lord of the Rings and I hope to do the whole thing straight through from Maine to Georgia. Relationship wise I would like to be in a serious rela...

final prompt

idea number one: In my final, I am going to tell a story of a little seedling being that goes on a journey to find all the components to grow into a flower. The little being will find things like water, sunlight, earth, and finally someone to love it and take care of it. This will all be through a series of drawings and i will also play the music on my guitar for the background. Idea number two: I wanted to a stop motion animation of me playing a song on my guitar and have multiple of myself's playing different parts.
