My version of Rene Magritte




I decided to do a picture of Magritte's 3 favorite recurring themes: floating rocks, paintings within paintings and inanimate objects with human features. I tried to make a peice that would capture Maritte's style. So, I did so by putting them all in one picture. I have the paintings within painting, half boot half feet, and the floating rock outside the window.

Bottle O' Pills

I thought about this assignment for a long time. While I was helping my wife study for her nursing test by quizzing her, I came across a picture of a stran of DNA. I thought that it looked really cool and wondered if I could make a stran of DNA with pill bottles. I'm sure tons of people have thought the same thing. So, I went out and bought a hot glue gun and this is what I came up with.

Inspiration

I was inspired greatly during my visit to the Eiteljorg Museum. It had a lot of Native American and Western artwork. I was inspired by the ingenuity of the Native Americans in that they didn't have the resourses that we have, in yet they still managed to great beautiful works of art. The Eiteljorg Museum didn't just have Native American and Western artwork, it also had works of art by artist's such as Andy Warhol and Georgia O’Keeffe. It is extremely refreshing to go and see works of art that are created by some of the most talented and creative artists in the world.

What the Bleep Do We Know Assignment

I think that this movie was well done. It makes something that could be exrtremely boring to learn, entertaining. The idea of quantum physics has always interested me. If you believe it or not it doesn't really matter, because the point was to get you thinking. Far too many people don't know what life really is and for some reason don't care to. It's all a lot simpler than we think it is, but to describe that fleeting moment of truth we have all had is impossible through the use of words.

Bliss

For my bliss assignment, I decided to play Madden for a 2.5 hours. To be honest this is not very out of the ordinary for me to play for at least 2.5 hours. Anyway, it did help me to forget about all of the tests and assignments that I have to do for a little while at least. I think that if I where too stressed in the future, this assignment would definatily help me relax a little. Although next time I might do somthing a little more relaxing like go to the park or hang out with friends.

Reflection of Last Class

Last class was interesting to say the least. I'm just glad I didn't get putting in my ears. It was fun thinking about the senses that you don't usually pay attention to in certain situations.
