- I know how to use a computer. Crazy, right? Yet, I never really worked with Photoshop or Illustrator, because I enjoy working with my hands more.
- I hope to recognize the significance of the digital world in today's artistic realm, and how it can affect my creativity in the future.
- I would assume that computers at least loosely fit into visual studies in most cases. Since the digital world is so prevalent in today's societal standards, it has to affect art (right??).
- Again, you'll have to school me on these programs, because I have never really worked with them!
- I have a Macbook Pro, so it does not have these programs.
- Mac :)
- I am a visual studies major, with the intent of doubling that with political science.
- With both, I wish to be a lobbyist (the good ones) that work for a social firm that I take pride in (aka a feminist, LGBT, environmental, minority firms). With the art degree, I wish to do EVERYTHING I CAN IN THE CREATIVE WORLD. I want to design album covers, packaging, work in a museum, change lives, solve world hunger; the good stuff that every young mind wants to fix.
- Shepard Fairey, the creator of Obey. Check out the documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop; you won't be disappointed.
- I do not really have a favorite musician, but I enjoy listening to the Black Keys, the Shins, White Stripes, and a bunch of other alternative/rock bands.
- I once watched my cat fall off my car on a highway. He survived.
- So I will talk about art, I guess. I have always loved to draw, and I was always an artistic child that was really out there. Yet, my career paths haven't filed that way until seventh grade. I wanted to be a vet, paleontologist, an animal cop...just Liv things. The reason I found art as  a career path was when an art teacher told me about Tyler when I was in middle school. I guess that is why I am here today, typing this, hoping to get an A in your class. :)

Joan Jonas video review

Jonas plays up her use of body movements and sound in her videos. She translates her thoughts thoroughly in these videos and she uses her work to communicate her thoughts and emotions. She often uses the space itself to convey these feelings, like in her video Wind. On the windiest day of the year, Jonas used the weather to create emotion in her works. She often uses multiple artists as well to make a collaborative effort on her work. Overall, I respond well to these videos, and I respect Jonas as a creator using the medium of film to convey herself.

Diary Entries 2

Dear Diary, Today marks my first solo art exhibition. My show, debuted in Philadelphia, has attracted numerous young artists to my works. Additionally, so many students from Tyler decided to come and see alumni art, which I sincerely appreciated. I had about 20 pieces, using acrylic, charcoal, and printmaking, and a lot of talented art collectors came. I am monumentally thankful that I am able to showcase my works in the city that granted me so much.

Bruce Nauman video review

In this video, Nauman was "Walking in an Exaggerated Manner", and it was filmed for ten minutes. He was walking swaying his hips in slow motion for that entire time, and there seems to be an underlying meaning to it. I never really understood videos like this, and I often get frustrated because I am not sure how to appreciate them properly. Nauman seems to be a sophisticated artist and has profoundly impacted the video community with strange videos like this.
