It was fun trying to draw blind contour, It came out looking pretty funny too. I think if I practiced for 100-1000 hours you would be able to tell drastically in my drawing abilities because of right now they are not at their best. My major is Kinesiology and I don’t know what I could sketch that will help me. You can use art to communicate, like get your message across or talk through your art but I don’t know if it can be a language on it’s own.

This week we found art on campus and our art we found was this rough tree with branches going into all different directions. It was very big but we decided to only the part where the stump is and the branches start to form. We decided as a group that the tree resembles how rough life is and the branches is yourself growing and branching out. Our art was right next to the NOW statue and it usually isn’t viewed as art, people just see it as just another tree. Only you can decide for yourself if it’s art or not because how is someone else going to tell you what you can see. Yes art can be something other than an object. Yes, if you the time to actually view something differently than you did before I think you can find something that will surprise you.

My experience was relaxing I didn’t have to meet a certain standard so it painted more freely. It was easier than I thought it would be. It was fun painting without a subject. Other paintings seemed like they had an idea of what they were painting but I didn’t.

I saw section separated from the rest of a lady talking from four different tvs, a black cloth with a hole in the middle, a pitch dark room with a flat screen tv, and a wall full of paintings and drawings. My experience was good. I feel like the stars on hollywood blvd gets more recognition than LACE because it’s more well known and since it’s outside for a whole block it’s hard to miss it.

I chose Dr.Seuss because growing up I read all his books, watched all the cartoons and saw his movies. It felt awkward cleaning his star infront of so many people just looking at me. Yes way different, for one thing my chores aren’t done on the side of the street for everyone to see and my chores isn’t to polish a star up. My performance was cleaning art I wouldn’t call it art.

The maintenance art activity was cool. Ukeles and Serra are different in their own ways one throwing molten lead and the other seems to care for the art. They are the same as in they are making something look better than it did before. Ukeles performance could be interperted as a form of art by making something beautiful again. Serra could as be art by throwing the molten lead as in a way to express himself. If she was a janitor she could still consider her work art. All paintings on a canvas is art, and painting a house could be art. Ukeles and Jlo showed me in what ways “women’s work” could be art. Yes women’s work could be art, there is some beauty in work that women do such as taking care of a child, educating children, etc. I would clean someones star if they ever made me laugh, smile or meant something to me.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
