Whitescapes

These objects both looked very white separately, but when they were put near each other the colander looked like a more blue white and the notebook looked more yellow white.





When I changed the lighting, the color change was more drastic. The colander had a more rose white color and the notebook was more rose yellow white.

Meraki Senior Exhibit

          The title of this show, Meraki, means soul, love, and creativity, and I think it encompassed the works in the show very well. I enjoyed looking and hearing about all of the pieces in the show. They all had a special meaning behind them, which made them even more intriguing. They all had stories to go along with the work and some that stuck with me the most included  Essence by Rachel Kingsley, Lula by Katelyn Hegarty, The Turning Point by Brenna Ferrentino, and Visions: Far & Near by Saadiq Coakley. These artists represented their works in various ways which included interactive headphones, smaller circular photos, canvas work mixed with images, and large scale photographs.           My favorite piece that stuck out to me the most was  Essence  by Rachel Kingsley. I thought it was very cool how the different colored powders represented various things. The way the idea for the piece came to her was when she was thinking about if her best friend was a colo

Escaping Flatland by Tufte

          The way the article started out was interesting with the comparison of dimensions between the frog and the frogs skin. "Even our language, like our paper, often lacks immediate capacity to communicate a sense of dimensional complexity." This sentence was very thought provoking to me. It made me think about how when we know a language fluently it is just what it is. After awhile there seems to be nothing special about it and it is more simple than complex. When trying to learn a new language, the complexity comes out a bit more.           The image of the stereo illustrations was intriguing to me. It is cool to see how the side by side images fuse together. In addition, I found that my eyes jumped rapidly back and forth between the images instead of just focusing on one or the other. Once the article began talking about Galileo and sunspots I honestly lost interest and found myself not paying as close attention as before. I decided to watch the video clip.

Visibility by Italo Calvino

          The beginning of this chapter, Visibility , deals with the topic of Dante, and the way that he describes the cycles of Purgatory. It also talks about the aspects of imagination and high fantasy. I read Dante's Inferno back in high school for extra credit and from reading that I can say that book included various aspects of symbolism, metaphors, and eloquent language. Imagination and deep thought were necessary to be able to understand more than just the gist of the story, especially due to the complex ideas and descriptive thoughts.           On page 83 of Visibility , Calvino describes that the poet has to "imagine visual content of metaphors he uses to facilitate this process of visual evocation." I believe this is necessary not only for poets, but also other writers, readers, artists and others when trying to depict something visually. He then goes on to describe the two types of imaginative processes. One that has to do with words and imagining an image an
