Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
I recently forced myself to ponder on a sculpture I didn't like at the Seattle Sculpture Park. Being asked to find something I didn't like there was pretty bold. I don't like any of the work there. I find that style and form of art to be boring, and un-eventful. the fact that someone got paid to make a huge metal block of steel....and call it art, well that in itself bends me the wrong way. I'm not going to lie, I cared nothing about looking up the artists history or other art pieces. But I did have to trick my mind into thinking I liked something about that place. So I did. Upon furthure examination I noticed some things about the individual pieces that really caught my eye. It wasn't the fact they they had made something so stupid as a block of metal....but the thing I really like about the pieces all together is the material...Odd I know. For instance, Tony Smith, nailed it right on with his stainless steel, Black. So smooth, and yet seems very soft. Subtle Reflections, and yet the specularity of the objects pick up the light very well, carving the edges of the block. If a certain someone hadn't made me go and look at it, I'd never had noticed that. I did very much enjoy looking around and forcing my mind to ponder a little deeper, and train my eyes to look a little closer.

Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation
Ok, I gotta ask myself, "How am I going to do this assignment?" and I specifically remember getting into a debate with someone who claimed this, "Grand Theft Auto Games are the reasons why we have an increase of crime and shootings" I feel there is no real evidence that Grand Theft Auto Specifically has lead to the increase of violence in the world. Maybe a huge mixture of movies, television, games, and various music artists. I think this would fall under the category of Fallacy, mainly cause his argument was not logical.

Here's a Weasel Word for ya.

I was working on my Digital Ink and Painting class assignment, and it was later on in the evening and all of a sudden, this male enhancement commercial came on, and my roomate and I just laughed at these people that they had "Asked on the streets" about how it's worked for them. First off that in itself was a weasel action, no way would they just stop some random person on the streets and ask them how there penis is doing, secondly here is the weasel word that I got from it, "Clinically Tested and Doctor Approved." What clinic, and what doctor, right? Who are these people? That's all I got.
