Since I was put into the art group, I suppose I should expect to be "a better artist" at the end of this workshop.
It sounds really vague, so what I meant is that I'm looking forward to experimenting with different mediums, or using familiar mediums in different ways (like using paper in ways that aren't the traditional "just draw on it" way of using it...doing something with it like sculpting). I'm pretty sure that we'll be doing this since Margaret DeLima mentioned that she uses paper, but also photography and some digital programs for her art (maybe we'll be doing puppets, or something about self-discovery since that seems to be what she is currently interested in).
Side note: When I was looking on her site, on the links page, I found the blog of the project A Fitting Experience. I was reading some of the tags, and it was really interesting what was said on them.

I forgot to post last week, whoops! It was a pretty quiet week anyways. I missed the video shown in class, since I was out sick, but I'd like to get the name of it if anyone remembers what it is.
Midterms week! I need to learn how to study the right way...I'm a little sad that there's no STAC this week, since I'm looking forward to watching the last episodes of The Prisoner (Luke said that they're all good ones)! I'm also falling a little behind on my daily practice but I hope to catch up on them this week.
---will update as the week goes on (?)--

This week was quite the busy one, with everyone getting ready for STAC live!
During STAC live, when the music video came on, I realize how hard it was to film it. Before STAC, when it was shown at STAC night, I thought it was cool, but that it didn't look that difficult to do. Now, after having more experience in filming, I can see all of the work put into it.
STAC live went well. I hope that the audience thought that the fact that people were running "in and out of the screen" was cool, like how I thought when we watched "A Brief Encounter". I was nervous about dancing in front of a lot of people, but it felt better than if I had to do a solo (or something along those lines).
The show felt shorter than a period, but I guess time flies when having fun!

I wanted to quickly write this...
There's a movie about Klimt! Wow...
My dad came home with some DVDs to watch, and as I was looking through them, I saw one of them titled "Klimt". I thought the name was familiar, and after a few minutes, it hit me. It was a movie about Gustav Klimt!
I haven't seen it yet, but I hope to sometime later this week/weekend. I'm not sure if I can bring it in, if anyone would want to watch it in class, since it's from the library. and I'm not sure what it's rated (I looked at the box, but I didn't see any rating).

The commercial is finally finished! It took a bit to edit, and we were having problems adding subtitles, but it's done! I hope it gets accepted and aired.
Now, onto STAC live. I think it's a neat that we're using the idea of interacting with the screen. That was my favorite part of the play, and if we pull it off, it's going to look amazing!
I was a little hesitant on doing the dancing part, but Angel is really nice and the dance steps aren't too hard, so I'm starting to like going to the community center and practicing!
The only thing I'm worried about STAC-wise is that I'm falling behind on my daily practice this week...but I'll just catch up on them today and/or tomorrow.

My mom found this channel on our TV that played shows/music from Japan, and one came up that was very interesting...
The art is very roy lichtenstein-inspired. I was reminded of how europeans were inspired by asian art in Art Nouveau, and now western art is influencing asia!

This week in STAC was a mixed one. However, it ended well.
At the beginning of the week, it was a little tense from events that happened Friday, but I think that since the problem was addressed, that it'll get better. I was sick on tuesday, but I heard that there wasn't any talking in class. At all. That must have been an interesting day...
The shoshtatreetree is very unusual. I wasn't expecting that at all when I went in on Wednesday.
On thursday the shoshtagigi (is that the spelling?) celebration was really fun! I didn't expect that Megan was my secret santa (or should that be secret shoshta?) ! I had a lot of fun, and am glad that I didn't miss my first shoshtagigi celebration!

In other news, the Prisoner seems to be appearing in the most unexpected places...including my aunt's house!
I've always thought that the bicycle on the wall was interesting, but nothing that out of the ordinary. Today when I was over there for Christmas, I noticed, well I'll let you all see for yourselves....

I really enjoyed the tripyesterday!
When I was little, I went to the Neue, but I was too young to go in. On Friday, I was curious again to what the upstairs would be like, and now I know.
I liked most of the art that I saw in both of the museums. I found myself spending more time at the more abstract pieces, than the more traditional art.
The show we went to, A Brief Encounter, had neat effects. I found it fascinating when an actor went behind the screen, then "appeared" on the screen. However, I didn't find the ending impressive. It felt like it was the intermission, that it left parts of the plot hanging. I read the program, and I think the ending was supposed to stop there, since the audience was supposed to understand that even though the doctor and the woman were separated, they were glad they had met each other for that short period of time. However, I didn't feel that way when it ended. It was more along the lines of "Oh what? It's the end?"

Today my dad and I went to the Moma since my dad had managed to get two free tickets! The matisse exhibit that was there when STAC visited wasn't there anymore, but another one (called On Line) was there instead. It looked interesting, so my dad and I took a look around.
The exhibit was all about lines and the different ways artist used them. I enjoyed looking at that exhibit. This one piece (which I forgot to write down who the artist was) reminded me a little of what we did in earlier in STAC. It showed a few pictures of a person (a dancer, I believe) and then the artist simplified the person's figure down to a few lines.
A funny thing was, that the art there was so abstract, that I saw an emergency exit sign and I was wondering if it was supposed to be part of the exhibit!
