I am fascinated by the short movies we watched today. Over and over I wonder where people find it within themselves to pursue and create these unique things. These spoke to me. Actually made me think about my perceptions on art and artists and what that means. Reflecting back on myself and what I really intrigues me are things that make my chest feel tight, like I can't breath because I am so full of life. And when I try and reflect that back on campus, and our classroom more specifically, I struggle with how to engage and capture everyone with some thing that seems so personal. However, I also don't doubt that we can do it. I think our hearts all pounded a little faster as we watched those videos and it was hard for all of us to look away. Why? What sort of intensity and skill allowed that to happen? Is that the type of thing that would capture the hearts of our class/campus? Not that we have decided that the campus would be our 'audience', but I sense that is what we are leaning towards.
An 'art project'. One individual, one group. It's been a long time. I am a practical person. If I am going to make a collage I want to decoupage it and make it into a table top.
One thing I don't agree with is the idea that other majors missed out on something that we didn't. Although, if that is true, it is certainly true that we equally but differently missed out on something that other majors received.
Must shut down computer...
