Unit 1 summary


Art is mandatorily not real, but our interpretive imagination of reality.

Is all art impressionism?  This statement seems to imply as much, however due to our limited scope of perception we can only tell our "part" of reality.  Art is choosing the medium that we feel best expresses our own perspective of that part of reality.

Art allows us to escape.

If art is always our impression of reality - it stands to reason that sometimes we use art to explain how we'd like reality to be.  That archetype allows us to escape our current reality through hope and inspiration.

Art is often the borrowing and combining with our own ideas to make better art.

Sometimes - often in fact - others art inspires us to make art of our own.  Sometimes our art reimagines their own art.  Sometimes the some of those parts is greater than the original.

Not a video but a daily create I liked.



I like the daily create work even if I don't always feel inspired to do the work.  I did enjoy looking at others work.

Finally my Twitter introduction.


Final thoughts:
Mostly I find the time commitment challenging.  With work during the day I do my ds106 on arriving at home - so sometimes it's difficult to keep up with the daily create.  I did learn how to colorize elements in a black and white photo, which I love!  I'm hoping to learn in the future how to put together meaningful and well put-together videos.
