Project redo

Starting my project over again with the suggestion that Professor Steinhardt gave me and I'm excited to see the outcome!!

By the way, I woke up from my nap with the desire to make paint. So, Professor, let's do that!

25 points

I got 25 extra points in class by talking about Marina Abramovic!

*the picture is a slide from class. Marina has a human skeleton on her. Gross but awesome. Such a powerful woman!

LIGHTER NOTE

I'm in class and racked up 10 points talking about Marina Abramovic and how awesome she is!

Forgot to blog this on Saturday

So as I was starting to get my concept together and plan it out, I get a call from my family (again) about how "I'm ruining my life and shouldn't major in anything that has to do with art because art isn't hard, I won't get far and it is worthless."

When Professor Steinhardt gave us the question, "what do you hate?" My answer was "unsupportive families," and this is exactly why.

Is this project pissing me off? Hell fucking yes it is because all it does is make me think about how my family is filled with unsupportive assholes.

However, this project is helping me get my anger out about this. It's helping me realize that I can do whatever the fuck I want and be what I want and do great things as long as I try hard enough.

So, thank you professor for assigning this project. It's helped me.

I'm obviously not done it yet and I'm going to get my mind going again tomorrow after class. I'm still struggling with the music portion but I'll worry about that later.

Rant/Vent over.

Marina Abramovic Rhythm 0

I found this video on YouTube about Marina Abramovic's Rhythm Zero. The piece where she was basically attacked by her audience and didn't think she would be.

Project

I have to start over for music. Luckily, I didn't get that far anyway!

This project is frustrating me though because it's so personal and I don't like thinking this much about my feelings. It legitimately pisses me off when I have to think about things that make me angry because then it just fuels my anger. Whatever. I'll get through it.

I have to think of an idea that won't make me cry though and that's starting to get harder an harder.

At least I have my music.

Class Today

Started out rough but for good reason. Saw some pretty sick art. And all I can think about is that Marina Abramovic piece. I can't believe she's so nonchalant about putting her life into other people's hands.

She's such a boss. And so is that Art Foundation that took out the stairwell, ceiling and wall of art in a building!

PJ told me to put it on the blog when I saw him

So here it is. What I did with my Saturday night is.......

"Peace, Love and Faith.. Peace is my word, Love is my sister’s and Faith is my mom’s. The reason we have these words is because they are all things we need to work on. I love my tattoo and it has so much meaning to me. It reminds me that no matter how bad I fight with my family, there will always be peace because they love me unconditionally. ❤"

Alright.

I have absolutely no idea why my video isn't posting. I will bring in my laptop tomorrow to class. 

For my project, I went up to random people in Vaughn's common room and pretended to have a mental disorder. I did this because I wanted to know what people's reactions would be to someone who obviously cannot control their actions. Most of the people that I came in contact with were rude and inconsiderate which makes me sad mainly because they would actually react this way to someone who was mentally disabled.

This connects to technology because there are so many cures, medicines and "attitude adjusting" pills in the world but none of them really help. They either make the person worse or not like themselves at all. Then that person feels different, rejected and aware of their problem. It's 2013 and I almost feel like science and technology has gotten nowhere when it comes to mental disabilities. 


My video isn't posting

This website hates me. It'll be up soon. I hope.

1912 Ford

Coming out of Art and Tech and we all saw this 1912 Ford. This is so awesome!
