Chip E

Now if I could be called the Godfather of House Music I could die happy, but I'm going to have to argue the best DJ title for DJ AM, god rest his soul, but no one tops his spins. Anyways ummmm i'm not really sure what to say about him and breakdancing, I did a whole bunch of research, but I didnt find anything that has him originating breakdance. I could see how people could breakdance to his music, i mean look at all the 80s movies and then listen to this guy, you can put two and two together. He got big in the same era as breakdancing emerged so I mean maybe he did maybe he didnt, but heres a great movie relative to the topic lolol and throw in some DJ AM for you and you can tell the difference and make a choice of your own.

5 Artists

Tomorrowland:

Now when someone brings up tomorrowland land to me, I am not thinking of an individual group that plays as band. Tomorrowland is more of crazy mother fucking week fueled by drugs and alcohol where you get to listen to multiple artists that play house music, trap music, dubstep, chillstep, pretty much any step you can think of its at tomorrowland. If i ever had enough money to or enough time to go, I would be at tomorrowland in a heartbeat. I know a few people that have made the journey and they have never been the same afterwards. All they can ever say is the best time in their entire life. Some of the bigger artists include DJ Karnage, Tiesto, Nerd Rage, Afrojack, SCNDL, SBKTRT, and way to many to count on one hand, forget one hand 20 hands. The first edition of the festival took place on August 14th, 2005. Two Belgian brothers, Manu and Michiel Beers, organized the festival. Tomorrowland got so fucking big throught the years they literally had to make TomrrowWorld.

Gorillaz:

Gorillaz, oh yes the Gorillaz, and no not the big monkey but one of the greatest bands to use the synth. They are the first band that I have ever seen or heard that incorporated the use of anime with their music. I have never seen any of their faces, all they use is anime music videos which is bad ass.They are an English musical and visual project created in 1998 by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. I dont even know what genre to put them under, I mean well heres a list: Alt Rock, Alt Hip-Hop, Trip Hop, Electro, Indie Rock, and Britpop. All I really know about them is that in the 7th grade Clint Eastwood was my goddamn jam.

Daft Punk:

Classic Daft Punk will always be one of my favorites and no not this shit he makes with like Robin Thicke. They are describes as French electronic, but I dont know what the French has anything to do with it. They got real big in the late 1990s in France and then got big in the US in like 99. His two huge singles are from 2005 which is more real techno then electric called " Robot Rock" and "Technologic" but everyone knows "Harder Better Faster Stronger" so Ill give you the mainstream Daft Punk for you simple little ears. 

Radiohead:

I'll get off the computer music now and give you one of my all time favorite bands and by far a movement towards my favorite genre, alternative rock. Radiohead formed in 85 but they didnt get huge unitl like 95. They released Creep in 92, but suprisingly wasnt very popular at first and then it just blew up, personally I love that song, but its not his best. As of now they are rated in Rolling Stones Greatest Bands of all Time list at 75 which is holy crap your god. Thom Yorke (pronounced Tom and THHHom) is one of the greatest lead singers of all time and no one can argue otherwise. This right here is my favorite radiohead song....so enjoy.

The Smiths:

Keep on keeping on with real music instead of just noise. The Smiths are, wait for it, my favorite band ever. They are an English alternative/classic/soft Rock band formed in 82 in Manchester. Simon Goddard argued in 2007 that The Smiths were "the one truly vital voice of the '80s", "the most influential British guitar group of the decade" and the "first indie outsiders to achieve mainstream success on their own terms". Everyone has seen Perks of Being a Wallflower so there is a lot of fake fans out there, like omg Asleep must be my favorite song int he world. I tend to laugh in their faces and walk away to let them wallow in their own self pity and social stupidity. If you actually like the music you dont listen to one song and claim it to be your favorite. I actually have The Smiths, Meat is Murder, The Queen is Dead, and Strangeways, Here We Come and break-up all on Vinyl. Call me a hipster I give zero fucks, I could never not listen to the Smiths. Well I cant even pick a favorite so heres a bunch of great songs

Sheryl Oring

Sheryl Oring is pretty damn interesting as a performance artist.

http://sheryloring.org/index.php

http://vimeo.com/14683337

I like she always incorporates herself with the typewriter. I see that almost as a signature move. I can't really compare myself on her level, but in all the movies I film for SIM class, I always have my signature backpack in at least one of scenes. Maybe in a corner or hanging up on a wall somewhere, but it is in every single on of my videos. Back to Sheryl though. She is 100% dedicated to what she is doing which is inspiring to any upcoming performance artist. If she is going to get people to write letters to the president your damn right shes going to mail em too. I think my favorite piece was the "Rilkes Offering". In NYC Oring distributed letters addressed to: A Young Poet Along 14th Street From 1st to 10th Avenue. Inside was excerpts from one of Rilkes Letters. I love the idea of interactive with the population just as much as closing yourself off. The audience had the choice to respond, though I am not quite sure what would happen if the did, but they had the option, I'm sure Oring something in mind for those who did. But this was my favorite piece because it took the audience back to the time before email and the easy ways of communication that we have today.

Video Art

This assignment was by far my favorite this entire semester. Whenever I hear the world video, as a film major I go nuts. I started with the idea of filming someones eyes, just moving back and forth and using film filters and effects, then I decided to decontextualize the audio using three different voices and three different languages. There is latin, spanish, and french, for no particular reason. Then I was playing with the equalizer and audio effects to mess around some more. This was strictly a research project for me, messing around until I found something that worked together, but at the same do not work together at all. With all the messing around I think something with meaning actually arose. The complete and utter anarchy of the eyes and the unconditional languages and audio work together in some kind of form that I cannot really explain.

Performance Art

CLICK TO WATCH

For my performance art piece I went into downtown with 30+ onions, I sat on the corner of west kennedy by the bus stop and proceeded to cut 30+ onions. Yes i was balling my eyes out the entire time. In society when a grown man cries how do you see him? You see him as weak, vulnerable, and a baby. I was trying to make the point that just because your a guy doesn't mean your not aloud to cry. I was cutting the onions on a calendar board for a reason. I was showing that every day of the weak something bad happens in the world to someone where someone will get upset and cry. The onions itself stand for life, and the knife is cutting a piece of your life away making it upset. but my main point was its okay to cry man, let it all out. I got some people to interact with me, but mainly looks like what the fuck is this kid doing.

"The Giving Tree" Xerox Project

50 different copies of my hands, 20 copies of my hands with the items in my pocket, 10 with just the items in my pocket and 3 of my face. All these Xerox's resulted in a decontextualized man/tree figure. I call it the giving tree because the fingers look like leaves and the arms looks like branches. In the hands, or branches, are the various items that were in my pocket, giving them away. I decided that it would be better in public then bring to class because of the scary feel to it. Some of the reactions of passers were priceless while others were a little frightened. Its about 5 foot 7 inches, so its pretty intimidating up close. Here are the photos, if its still there its outside austin hall if you would like to see it in person.

Alan Ginsberg

To gather my information on Alan Ginsberg, I watched, and actually am currently watching Howl. As soon as I heard this quote in the movie, I looked forward to posting this blog post. Ginsberg said in Howl, "prophecy is not knowing that the bomb will fall in 1942, prophecy is knowing and feeling something which someone knows and feels in 100 years, and maybe articulating a hint that they will pick up on it in 100 years." I find this absolutely incredible. How he redefines a word, to his own relevance to his own life. Ginsberg life was very eventful. From the court case revolving around the relevance of his literary terminology, to falling in love with Jack Kerouac, to 8 months in a mental institution, to signing the papers for his mother lobotomy resulting in her death. Ginsberg is a mad man, he gives literally 0 fucks. He tells stories of taking peyote and walking down the streets of downtown, but all of his events of life are put into his poetry. He describes how to write poetry as telling the stories that you would tell your friends. Truly an inspirational man.

Howl

Must Watch

5 Minutes of Art History

THAT FUCKING NEMO FISH IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF I SWEAR IT. Besides the devil Nemo, the art history was, how do I put it, informational. I hated watching 5 minutes of hell but I mean I wish i was taught more about some of the subjects in the video. We learned about Baroque and all the major art forms of history, but I was never taught about DaDa art. I wish i was because as of now the insanity behind dada has to be my favorite art form. But back to the video, I will never look at finding nemo the same now. Thanks a lot.

Radio Days

When I think of Woody Allen, I immediately think of Radio Days. It was Allen's way of reminiscing on the golden days of the radio. Several generations of family packed into a rock-away house with the radio always on sounds pretty much like the golden days of the radio to me. When I think of the radio i think of a Christmas Story and the Ovaltine commercial, which relates a lot to Radio Days. Now I mean growing up with a tv and an iPod, I couldnt really relate to the movie so I didn't really find it that funny but, it was okay. Entertaining to say the least. Put it this way, I didn't really watch the whole thing, got about through 3/4 of the way through and said fuck it.

Santiago's Showcase

The idea behind his concept was phenominal. I loved the idea of insecurities and issues printed on the students faces. It was even cooler to see the students at the showing and tying them to the pieces. But the mug shot piece was my favorite. I just had so many different thoughts on so many different levels. Why were these people arrested? I sat there trying to guess what each persons crime was. The way he related the piece to copyright and public domain blew my mind too. Overall, fantastic showing. I would have been more interactive if i didnt feel like straight shit, but oh well.

Dali Cranium

I was just so intrigued by Dali's "cranium" i did some research and found some pictures of the making of

Grid Art REBEL

When the grid art project was assigned, i was a little excited and nervous at the same time. It took me about three days to ponder ideas, starting with tacos to rubber bands, to about 300 colored eggs in egg cartons. These all would probably cost me some money i do not have though. How I came up with the idea of over 100 cigarette packs and 30 tins, well it just came to me, sitting in the smoking section with all my friends, as they threw their empty packs out. The design I chose to do goes along with the material very well in my opinion. I chose to do the word REBEL. Tobacco products have always been big with teenagers and not so much with their parents. Many of my friends back home smoke purely because their parents want them to do nothing with it. The youth of our generation is using tobacco products as a way to be different too, like rebel from society. We, as a society, look at cigarettes and tobacco products as scummy and nasty. We look at the people who use them the same way. The youth is using these views to rebel from the mass, and try to be different. Smoking is cool now. I can connect this to theatre. Specifically the outsiders or grease. All the greasers smoked and tried to be different. Smoking is a tool used to rebel and be different from the normal of the society.

Assassins Creed

If I had to pick a favorite video game it will always be Assassin's Creed. I think it is the freedom of the open map, almost like GTA you can do whatever you want. Not only is it the freedom, but the historical accuracy. I also love the gore and murdering in it, but who wouldn't as a 18 year old boy. My parents most certainly do not approve of this game, but I play anyone. My mom considers herself a born again christian, whatever the hell that means, so when I kill the Pope, I don't think she would be so happy about that.

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs, a billionaire, and a college dropout. I think the first sentence in this commencement speech was the most influential on me. How can a college dropout do so well in life? When he announced that dropping out was the best decision he ever made, all the graduates started laughing and I don't understand why. I see where he is coming from, working class parents who can't afford to pay for college sounds pretty much exactly the same as my situation now. And of course, he had to throw in the windows stealing mac ideas, which pretty much seems to be every time I hear him speak now. Jobs story about trusting the dots of the past to connect to the future really got to me to. I don't really have a good idea of what I will be doing in my future, but I keep enough faith to keep living every day to find out what the future dots will be in my life. I agree with once you love something you do, you can never stop loving it. Just because you fail does not mean you need to give up, it means you need to get up and try again. Steve Jobs was truly an inspirational man, who encouraged students to chase their dreams. I respect Jobs a lot and consider him one of my favorite heroes.

Alan Turing a Tragic Death

Alan Turing is considered to be the father to modern computing and artificial intelligence. Alan was genius and played a key role in breaking the Nazi Enigma code. Turing was a homosexual which was still illegal at the time, and was prosecuted for indecency. His was given a life changing choice between imprisonment or chemical castration. He chose the latter. Two years later, Turing was found dead in his room by cyanide poisoning. There was no suicide note with him, but only a half eaten apple, which is believed how the cyanide was delivered. Ironically, Turing had a love for Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Tying into Steve Jobs, the logo for apple with the single bite gone is to be believed that the idea came from Turing, though Jobs denies it. This is one of the more tragic stories I have read. It almost seems it came right out of a fiction book. A man, who shortened WWII by two years, is drawn to taking his own life due to the lack of social acceptance. It blows my mind, so many questions unanswered. How many world-changing ideas died with Turing?

otr.com and mztv.com findings

http://www.otr.com/timeline/39-09-03%20Chamberlain%20Declares%20War.mp3

The first link is from www.otr.com, I found this to be the most interesting that I happened to stumble upon while searching through. Imagine sitting at home, listening to the daily news and this pops on. I was always into learning about wars and this had just grabbed my attention. I find it amazing this is the radio broadcast that the country heard right before the start of WWII.

http://www.otr.com/timeline/Murder_at_Midnight__The_Ace_of_Death__January-6-1947.mp3

You know all the murder shows that are watched today? Well, they listened to murder stories in the 40s. I just think its funny that we were entertained by the same thing. I guess we haven't changed that much since 1947.

Unfortunetly when I tried to go to mztv.com well this came up......

Philip K. Dick

Before being assigned this blog post, I had no idea who the hell Philip K. Dick was and what he has done. Not being a big reader of scientific novels, I was not surprised that I have not even heard of this guy's name before. What did surprise me was his influence on the film industry. As you may know, I am a huge fan of film, not particularly science fiction, but I know enough about a lot of movies. I had no idea the basis of Blade Runner, one of the more astounding movies I've recently seen, came from Dick's head. Not only Blade Runner, but another of his books was used to help one of the greatest directors to this day. Yup that's right, Steven Spielberg is one of the greatest directors, cry about it. Anyways, Minority Report came straight out of Dick's brain. The influence in the movie industry was not the only thing this man did that intrigued me. His life was very, how do I put this, eventful. A drug addict, fascinated by mental illness which effected one of his 5 wives, saved by a "pink laser beam" revolution, which implanted the needed information to catch his greedy co-workers, and lead to three novels does not come around a whole lot. Behind all of that craziness, I believe there was a good man though. From what the article tells me, his novels focused on human decency and how we should treat each other. Characters often did the hard things at the right moments. So it goes to show you, don't judge a book by its cover, there could be an amazing man or an amazing story behind it.

Orson Wells

A time without TV.  Can you even imagine that? No Breaking Bad, no Futurama, nothing but a box with someone Else's voice and a room full of imagination. As I sit at my desk and listen to Orson Well's War of the Worlds broadcast, I immediately notice the tone of his voice. This deeper, more particular voice. I can only describe his voice as trustworthy.  Even though I know this is a fiction broadcast, the tone of this man's voice and the sincerity that lies within makes me believe what he is saying. To be in the year 1938 and listening this broadcast must be a whole different story. They make it sound like there are interruptions within a normal musical broadcast for this very detailed story of a martian attack. I can imagine a family sitting around the radio at home listening to their daily entertainment filled with music to hear this. Everything is astronomically detailed, professors at Princeton share what they see, literally every detail is described and is scary realistic. At first, I thought these people were insane for actually believing their life is threatened, but after listening to this broadcast, I completely understand. The background noises add a specific detail that makes it so realistic. The "difficulty with the field transmitter" just adds the dramatic feeling to make it sound so much more like real life. They reactant the screams of men and describe burning of peoples bodies and death of police officers. Governors give orders to put NJ under of Marshall Law, no details are left behind. Breaking news is spread throughout the broadcast giving more detailed and more eerie parts of the creatures in rocket cylinders. You have to understand, the radio was the only source of news in 1938 besides the newspaper. The people of the time are hearing this thinking it is an actual news broadcast and I could understand why. It is simply incredible how detailed and realistic the broadcast is. I thought it was incredible. I would sit and listen to this again if Orson Wells had another famous broadcast. It was better then reading a book. Instead of creating your own image in your head, they paint the picture for you. The practical details about how the invasion is affecting the towns and cities is almost scary. It starts in a small town, propagates to the nearby areas, eventually disables an entire state, and it's all there in the broadcast: communication lines cut, the roads clogged with traffic, people fleeing vainly to the nearby cities, Ray Collins choking to death to the sound of the horns of cars and boats. One word to describe the entire broadcast: epic. No one had ever done anything like this before. In those days, drama was drama and news was news. No one ever did news as drama. If it was news, it must be real. To me, it was very convincing. I believe that I would have been one of the guys with my head in my hole also. Simply incredible.

Flip Book

As you may know, I attend University of Tampa in Tampa Florida. My point being is that I attend a private school and I am extremely broke. Saying this, the book I chose for my my flip book had literally zero relevance to the story I wrote. I went to the used and unique book store right across the bridge in downtown Tampa and picked the cheapest book I could find which was 50 cents.

The story I tried to portray was a clashing of universes and creation of planets. The story starts out with arrows gradually growing and entering a small hole. The whole gets bigger and bigger until it fills the entire page. Once the page is filled, a sun starts to rise. The sun mutates into different kinds of shapes and different kinds of sun beams. The sun sets and the sky rises and becomes filled with stars. Once the sky becomes filled, the different kinds of moon crescents leads up to a full moon. The moon goes further and further into the distance and as the moon goes further out, a man and a daughter appear. The man takes his daughters hand and flies into the moon. Once they reach the moon, the moon implodes and creates another blank canvas. As we zoom in and in more, we see another planet, similar to earth and the man and daughter are standing on it pointing towards another blue planet. It gets closer and closer and some kind of rays appear from this new planet vanishing the man and daughter. The planet slowly vanishes while emptiness fills the page once again. Well anyway, enjoy.

Just seeing the word animation excites me so I thank you for that. Over the years, I have been intrigued by stop motion. I have had many attempts at making stop motion in previous film courses and failed miserably. This is my favorite stop motion, even though it was on the list of assigned videos... There is just something about the complexity, the time put in, and the effort it takes to make a masterpiece like this. It's not just some program designing the images, but hand made, hand moved, and it takes hard work to create something good.

The Great Train Robbery and A Trip to the Moon

The film industry has come a long way. The Great Train Robbery is an example of one of the first films created. Black and white of course, with the exception of a few hand colored frames throughout. Also, if you noticed there are literally zero camera movements besides a few cuts. Compared to film today, this bland, boring, and basically just painful to watch. Theres a single story line and no dialogue, with no idea what the characters are thinking leaves out a huge part of a story line. Emotions play a huge role in film today. A trip to the moon is little more exciting but barely. The use of color is expanded upon a bit. They also treat the moon animistic which i found extremely interesting. The personification of a non living being fascinates me. Although, these movies are bland, they were the stepping stones to the extravagance we endure today.

EARTHQUAKE

Unfortunately, my parents are not very film challenged, so they have not seen the movie earthquake

Clockwork Orange, Singing in the Rain

              A Clockwork Orange is on my top ten favorite movie lists. As being a huge of Stanley Kubrick and his work I know that exact reason why alex sings, singing in the rain while he is raping and beating his victims. It may not be the most exciting reason but Kubrick stated the reason why Alex sings that song. McDowell, who plays Alex, was the one who actually chose the song. Kubrick left the decision up to him. McDowell chose singing in the rain only because that was the only song he knew all the lyrics too. I know, its sucks, stupid reason to choose the song, but Kubrick shared this with the public in a written interview about 1 and half ago. Ironically, when Gene Kelly saw the movie, he never spoke to Kubrick or McDowell again. Shitty reason but, indeed is fact.

Abelardo Morell

This is my favorite example of camera obscura. I actually have had the chance to experience using a camera obscura. it was one of the most interesting pictures i have experienced taking. The house-sized camera obscura is on a whole new level. It is absolutely incredible the way a tiny hole can reflect and refract light. It is a natural phenomenon which there are few left in this society. I especially like this example beacuse the furniture and plants inisde the home match the outside exhibit almost perfectly. Everything in this picture just looks like it should be there which is incredible. If i had the chance, i would love to do this.

contempory blackface

In tropic thunder, which was made in 2008, Robert Downey Jr. plays an actor playing blackface. Its pretty bad to say the least. He changes his voice, his attitude, and his appearance to what he thinks an african american would play. I mean he goes all out, never steps out of character for one scene. Just as racist as it was in the 20s.

Technology on Broadway

Wicked on broad way uses technology to defy gravity. This is my favorite special effect. There are no wires or anything showing, actually giving the illusion of floating. They made this possible by using a very long mechanical arm and on the end of the arm is a device that she can both stand on, and it grabs her around the waist as soon as she touches it

What do I even need to say. The iPad mocking used in blue man group are amazing. The huge screen in the back is choreographed along with this huge iPads. This is just visually amazing.

Spidey has now been given the ability to actually fly over the entire audience. The technology used in wiring is amazing. Nothing is held by hand, but programmed machines that know tension and direction of the wires and the stage.

The chandelier in the phantom of the opera has been crashing for more then 25 years. The technology behind the crash has gotten better and better throughout the years and has only become more realistic.

All I can say is how. What is used, how is it used, and where can i get one. This was just freakin beautiful. The transformation of the beast is my favorite broadway special effect, and i would love to know how to do it.

The Documentary + Madame Butterfly Movie

The documentary was very informational. I took good notes and it gave me a a general idea of the time period. I did not really enjoy the movie a whole lot though. I just couldnt find a connection in it and therefore was kind of boring for me. Though it related to the topic greatly, i just couldnt keep myself interested.

Madama Butterfly Short Animation

Madama Butterfly Short Animation

My initial reaction to this animation was, "wow this is a really graphic cartoon!" As I watched this in the Sykes computer lab, I had a feeling that everyone was looking over my shoulder thinking why in hell is this kid watching doll porn. As the video goes on, my focus is drawn into emptiness of Madama Butterfly's face.The music in the background only adds to the depth of her abandoned face. As her baby is her born and they start to play together a warm feeling of happiness overwhelms me. The warmth only seems to grow as the sailor returns to Madama Butterfly and his newly born daughter that he has yet to meet. As darkness falls unto Madama Butterfly an empty feeling is thrown into my stomach, with only the worst thoughts in mind. The sun rises and the sailor follows as he meets his little girl for the first time, but something is still not right. A new, beautiful blond woman comes with the sailor only to take Madama Butterfly's child along with them. As the umbilical cord is ripped from her stomach a punch is felt along with the yank of the cord. As the sailor, his new love, Madama Butterfly's daughter, and many adopted children leave, Madama Butterfly runs into darkness where only the music can express the feelings that are pulsing through her body. She collapses and rips her body to pieces trying to define the feeling of losing the one item that she cared about most, or maybe the usefulness of her life without her daughter in it. Without any feeling of hope left in the world, Madama Butterfly's pieces roll over the horizon and a butterfly appears out of the darkness. daylight falls again and the butterfly perches itself on top of Madama Butterfly's head, resembling a never ending, painful circle of life. A very depressing short video, and I would love to see the entire opera.

A Modern Day Use of Opera

BioShock - The Ocean On His Shoulders

Final Fantasy VI

Both are video games of the modern age. Opera is used in both to add a suspense, dramatic filled scene in the game. Opera, which in its prime, was a mixture of arts including dance, song, and design, was the form of entertainment which really brought out the emotions of the audience depending on the opera. In both of these games, the opera music adds an eerie, frightening feel which also brings out the emotions of the player. This makes the player relate more to the game, just from hearing the music and relating the sound to story.

Microbiologist Raul Cuero PhD on Sparking Creativity on Living Smart with Patricia Gras

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZugtaO85T_Y&feature=youtu.be

Anyone from all ethnic, economic, social, and geographic backgrounds has the ability to become an intellectual. You have to trust your own potential and ability to overcome local or universal prejudice of you. Being creative can overcome life's problems. Change the expectations buy doing something no one can expect you to do. Doing the unknown will change the way other people think about you and expand the expectations others have on you. Creativity comes from how you see nature.  The more time you spend outdoors and play with nature, the more your creativity will rise. Do everything with intensity, have a passion and go after it without fear of failure. Creativity comes in a step-wise process. You can not plan creativity but enjoy the process in the meantime. Become a working piece of society through your intellectual abilities and creativity.

How Can I Apply These Ideals to my Everyday Life:

My parents pressure me to go with one major that I have no interest with. I am going to have to show them my own potential and what I can do with it. They believe that I will not have job opportunities right out of college. As I go along the unknown path they do not see, I am changing my own expectations they have upon me. I need to believe in my own potential in the field I want to work in, and let know ones opinion of me deter my work. I need to work without fear of failure and complete the task with intensity.

Juan Carlos Delgado

http://www.revistaexclama.com/cuarto-norte/

One word to describe Delgado's work is unique. This is most certainly something that has never been done before. I especially love the bust. How it can change from an innocent looking sculpture to something out of a horror film. I definitely think this is multimedia. As time goes on, the sculpture changes, it's not just the same thing over and over again, every time you look at it, the bust could be different. I look forward to seeing more of his work

Course Reaction

My full name is Jesse Michael Roehrer. I was born in Morristown, NJ. Grown into being a Mets, Giants, and Devils fan, and always will be. I love film. I love watching, critiquing, shooting, editing, and almost every aspect of the film field. I was a big time snowboarder, mostly in PA, until I broke my collarbone in half. I now have plates in my collarbone, screws in my wrist, and a rod in my ankle, all from snowboarding of course, but there will never be a day that I will stop. First day of Art and Technology was yesterday. The course seems to be really laid back and is already very interesting so it keeps me on point, loving what i'm learning. Always looking forward to what I will will come up next. I expect to expand my knowledge on art and the technological aspect behind each piece, also the history of art and how it has evolved throughout time. I've been to one class and can tell i'm going to enjoy going.
