This article “ Nipple Jesus” was not what I expected to read about considering the title. The point of view was from a person who does not know much about contemporary art. He did not have any experience of art. He was worse than me ! This character had ZERO idea between different galleries. I have never been to an art museum or gallery hopping before, but i assume that they would not all look the same, that you could not tell the difference between them. I feel like people who do not like to look at or appreciate art would have the same outlook as this person.

What i did not like about the article was the tone of the character. He seemed stubborn and his attitude was bad which was not very fun to continue reading. I feel as if this guy is like a closed book, he just is not into the idea of art galleries and getting different ideas and perspectives from looking and analyzing art.

I did not like doing this micro project. I do not like using photoshop just for the fact i’m new to it. While on my way to class I realized I do not pay attention to much, i am usually on a mission to just get to class and get the walk over with. although i tried to show what i touch while i am on my way to class such as doors and tables and keyboards. I usually only pay attention to my cell phone or my music if i have my headphones that day. I honestly do not think my journey to class is unique at all. I feel like it is the same thing for every student, and maybe that is why i did not enjoy this project at all. I was close to pulling my hair out.

This project was different than a universal map because it shows different views and how a person would really view a map as if they were walking it.

This project was so frustrating for me because the pictures i took for traveling to digital art the first time, they were not every good so the next day i remapped my journey to class for a second time to get better pictures. This caused me so much frustration because i did not have any idea how i wanted to do this project. I am not happy with my project but i realized i guess that is what art is all about.. disappointments. As frustrating as it is i did learn that sometimes things do not go as planned and thats its OK! 

Yoko Ono

       In “Yoko Ono: A reconsideration” is an interesting article. It is apparent that the author enjoys Yoko Ono, but sometimes she can not relate... which is how I feel about most people. All I knew about Yoko Ono before reading this was that she was married to John Lennon. I had no idea she was an artist. This article helps explain how different and outside the box Yoko Ono is and that is why she has very few fans. After reading this article I was inspired by how she dealt with the loss in her life and to move on and not dwell on the past. I really enjoyed how she related Lady Gaga and because they are different does not mean they are not of interest to some people.

Things I found confusing and questioned was that how does Yoko Ono stay popular if she does not try and please others? Also I was confused about the writers thoughts about Yoko Ono in the end... She seems as confused as I was reading the article!

      In the Walker article, i really enjoyed it and learned a lot. He liked to explain how artists create what they do and how they go about it. I completely understood when he said it takes a lot of ideas before an artist makes a final decision about his or her art. Also how artist change their minds many times before they finish. It was pretty cool to learn that through one idea 200 works of art where made.
        For the negatives about this article, i would have to say that i started to get confused about the meanings between subject matter, themes and the big ideas. To me they all started to kind of blend in meaning but that did not stray me away from the article. overall i thoroughly enjoyed this article. I feel like i understood from a artist mind and perspective which helped me keep reading the article.

            For the Barrett article, this was probably my least favorite of the two. I liked how barrett learned to understand the meaning of random pictures to a deeper meaning. When Barrett wrote about the class and Destiny's child, it was interesting all the different meanings they came up with! I would have never thought of all of those!
   Like i said before this was not my favorite article but i did like the destiny child part because of my childhood ! Some of the answers the students gave were kind of ridiculous to me, they seemed off topic, as if they went so far into the meaning that it changed the meaning of the whole picture. Also, I was curious if the artist plans these meanings before? like what if they just make art for no reason and all of these people try to decipher it incorrectly? that is what makes art confusing for me.

        In the article " cheese monkeys" by Chip Kidd, I found his article to be very engaging. The way he writes as if he was talking to you in person is very interesting. He made you think, it seemed like he was going through schooling at the time or maybe he was writing in the mindset of a professor. I enjoyed reading the part when Kidd talks about basic ideas like right to left, top to bottom, big and small, front to back, and even form.

    That was something I did not understand. I realized this was a "Basic Interlude" but I feel like i did not get much from this reading. I was unsure about the whole theme in this writing actually. So overall I did not like this reading because I was confused most of the reading about what he was talking about . I wish he was more clear about the overall concept during this article.

I like how the author described the basketball shot made by Julius Erving, he painted a picture in your head and made you feel as if you were actually at the game. I think that the writer was trying to explain that rules whether good or bad can restrict or stop someone in someway from doing what they truly want. Pollock states that it is ok to drip paint and not be perfect and then this is turned into strict rule requiring you to be a little messy to be accepted.

I am not a fan of basketball so some things were hard to follow. I don't agree with how the author compared basketball over religion. I myself am not a religious person, but I don't think those two go hand in hand at all. Although the author did a great job at putting a picture in your head with his descriptive wording, I think comparing basketball and how obsessed he seemed with it was a turn off for this reading.

In the article “Why is This Man Smiling?” by Lawrence Weschler. I enjoyed this article more than the rest immediately because of the pictures this article had.  I thought it was interesting how the author explained the complexity of being a digital animator and making sure the right emotion is portrayed at all times. “ The face's 44 muscles are capable of producing some 5,000 different expressions.”

I did not like how some sentences were very bizarre. Some sentences i had no idea what the author was trying to say at all because of that. I also did not enjoy reading the slang terms in this reading. It made it seem very unprofessional considering it’s a published article.
