Blog Assignment #3
1. I believe that place defines us. Depending on where we are we act differently. Such as if we are in a gallery, or at a movie theater, we are more quiet. If we are at a football game, or some other sports event, we get very loud.
2. Richard Serra, was inspired by old boats and docks, man made. Sally Mann, was inspired by the out doors and the south, forests and nature. Margaret Kilgallen and Barry McGee, were both inspired by the city and things found on the streets.
3. I feel most connected to Sally Mann, while she is a photographer and my major is 3D i still find the human figure to be captivating in real life. I never found poses as pleasing aesthetically as people in real life.
4. When i was younger i would make tents in my bedroom out of pillows, chairs, and my baby blanket. It made the light shine through dimmed and patterned. I felt safe there.
In my Aunt and Uncle’s house I had to sleep on the floor in the living room. I always felt so scared there. Above the door was a fake spider in a wed made of metal, and on the wall there was a picture of this 80’s musician with all his makeup and big hair.
In my brothers bedroom I felt gross. He never cleaned his room and would eat in there and it always smelled either really bad, or like way too much axe.
In my nanny’s room i always felt safe. The sheets always smelled like her hair and her bed was the perfect height where i could hide under it when we played hide and seek. The problem was she always knew where to find me.
I used to hide out in my closet when I was upset or when my parents and my brother were fighting. I felt safe, like nothing could sneak up on me and I was safe.
5. Under my blanket tent the light would shine through it and it would turn the whole inside of the tent pink. It was always so soft and had a waffle pattern so the light took on the same pattern. I would hide inside my tent with my stuffed animals and I would play house with them. While the light wasn’t bright it was happy and warm.

1. I feel like stories change over time, like in the game telephone. But one story that I believe would get passed down from generation to generation is the story of Obama becoming president, and hopefully the turn around he may create for us.
2. The stories that are told over time are usually the stories of rare occurrences. Stories that give people hope or teach some lesson that is important for kids to learn when they are little. Stories that change the world or even just a persons mind on something. But stories that are something that everyone has to go through.
3. A journal or a sketchbook to me is a collaboration of a bunch of one persons ideas.I would definitely think that it is a work of art, because a work of art isn’t just the final piece, it’s the whole process. It’s the idea and then making that idea a reality.
4. I wish we had a dog. Every time I ask my mom for any kind of pet she gets really angry with me. My dad says she doesn’t but I can tell. She has this terrified look in her eyes at first, then it turns to mad and her eyebrows squish together.
When I was younger I always wanted a dog, or any pet really. My mom had never had pets before so every time I asked her she would look scared because she would think about the worst possible sinario and get mad and say, “NO!” but maybe it’s because i asked at least 3 times a week.
