Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
When I went to the Sculpture Park it was kind of hard to find a sculpture that I didn't like or had no interest for. After looking around the park for about an hour I decided that I would have to pick a structure called "Wandering Rocks" made in 1967 and it was constructed by an artist named Tony Smith. I didn't think there was really anything special about the sculpture. All of the other sculptures in the park caught my attention because I thought there was at least one thing that was significant about them but "Wandering Rocks" was just plain and boring when I looked at it. All the sculpture is is some shapes of steel painted black sitting on the ground. After going home and searching for Tony Smith, I found a lot more of the sculptures that he has made and I think most of the other ones that I found online seem to be way more interesting then "Wandering Rocks." It looks like most of his sculptures are made up of the same thing, which is steel painted a certain color. The sculpture that I found at the park seems to be one of the more boring pieces of art that he has made. I don't understand why they would put that sculpture up out of the other ones that Smith made. Some of the work he has done is actually very cool and creative. One of my favorite ones that I saw online is called "Smoke" and it is at the Los Angeles county museum. After searching online for Tony Smith and looking at other sculptures that he has done I gained a little more respect for his art. I still think that "Wandering Rocks" is still boring but most of his other work that I saw was very cool and complex. It seems that people might get a bad first impression of Tony Smith if they go to the Sculpture Park because I think his best work is elsewhere.

Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation

Accidental Fallacy: One time I got caught smoking weed and my dad started giving me a lecture on why I should'nt smoke and how it will make you lazy and you won't get anything done. I thought it was funny how he was telling me this because he was being such a big hypocrite because he smokes just as much as I do. Ironically I got what I smoked from his stash but he had no idea that I knew that he smoked. I didn't say anything to him because I figured it would be really awkward at the time but now he knows I know so he can't really give me crap if I smoke. :)
