ART 194-Aug. 31st

What is art? How would you define art? Is it possible to assess and evaluate art? If so, what is good art, and conversely, how can one determine what is bad art?


Art is, in its purest nature, a form of expression for anyone who chooses to create it. Making a piece of art is as effective for a child who draws a stick figure drawing as it was for Picasso and Davinci. It is a way to express what we are thinking or feeling through pictures and forms rather than through words. It is possible to assess, evaluate and categorize art but near impossible to determine what "good" art is. While it may be obvious that some art is amateur or immature, it may still be genuinely appreciated by someone in the world. Also no art is "bad" art when it is an expression of yourself.

3-0 Baby!

The Seahawks defeated the Kansas City Chiefs last night in KC 14-10. The team is now 3-0 in the preseason. It was said at halftime that the Seahawks are a "strong playoff contender in the NFC West", and they are "looking really efficient." They play the Oakland Raiders at home on Thursday Sept. 3rd at 7pm. 

New Sick Puppies Song

Should've Known Better

I just heard this song on the radio today and loved it so i thought I'd share. Sick Puppies have some sweet stuff on their new album and I'm really into it so check it out. 

P.S. Safetysuit (my favorite band) is holding an interview on VH1's top ten countdown RIGHT NOW. Only a few months ago they were realtively unknown and now theyre really getting out there (#2 on the countdown) and im super excited. If youre curious, check them out too.

Self Portrait Raster Project

In this image i tried to take all the little pieces of myself and make then look semi similar to me if not somewhat human. It is meant to somehow represent all the things that are inside of me being visible on the outside.

So, if you can dissect the image, try and find each picture that represents each word here that describes me. Tv Watcher, Music Lover, Star Gazer, Singer, Blonde, Seahawks Fan, Gamer, Artist, Traveler. My family tells me i have a very particular smirk/smile so that is the only part of the picture that is actually me. Oh and the eyes are of my favorite actress, Kate Bosworth. 

Its Early.

Yep. It is. 8 am is not kind to me.
