Questions from Reading

"The human being is historical and its historicity is inherent to it: it produces and is produced, it creates its world and creates itself." -Henri Lefebvre

Much like art in the past, we can recognize who and where it came from and at what point in time it was created, what will historians of the future characterize artists of this generation as, by looking at their work?

Why do you think, over thousands of years, art has been one of society's most prominent forms of growth?

Do you think all art today is relational since not much hasn't been done already?

3 questions

1.) Is wayfinding something we will ever be able to prove?
2.) Is it safe to say we associate positive things such as a smile when the line is facing upwards, and negative things with a line thats facing downwards, for instance a frown?
3.) Is it possible for the Baldwin effect to be reversed at our fast-moving society's pace?

My Documented Tuesday

My Tuesday started off with my Sculpture class at 11:30 AM at the LABAfter my sculpture class ended at 2:30 i ran to college ave to pick up my refund check and deposit it. I didn't take a picture of my check so this is a note to myself inside my planner.
At 5:35 i have a psychology class in the Food Science building.
From my psychology class, i walk to my car by the Newell/Starkey apartments and drive to my Art History class behind Scott Hall. This class starts at 7:40 and it ends at 9.
After i drove back to my apartment from my Art History class I took a shower and went to bed, haha I'm not much of a night owl.

That is my Tuesday.

Trail project with Truman and Mike

So i was partnered up with Truman and Mike for the trail project and ours was entirely internet- based. Truman cleverly had me follow a trail of mutual friends in order to find him. Unfortunately, the posts Truman left on other people's walls were erased so our documentation of this trail is gone. But the experience was really fun, and it didn't take too much time to complete.
