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.

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 w...

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 h...

Ways of Seeing

          In Ways of Seeing by John Berger, the aspect that struck me the most had to be the first sentence. It has a captivating nature about how it was worded. "Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak" (7). This is a very simple concept, that I had never considered before. Once a child enters the world, they take everything in through their senses. Sight, even though very blurry and near-sighted at the beginning of life, is a child's way of exploring and trying to make sense of the world. I believe that this sentence sets the tone for the rest of the article as intriguing, powerful, and thought-provoking.           Another aspect that stuck out to me was the fact that seeing is different for everyone. All individuals can look at something and connect it to something else. "The way we see things is affected by what we know or what we believe" (8). I agree with this statement, because it emph...
