Why Do I Like What I Like?

Artist: Tony Smith Black steel sculptures

My first glance at one of his sculptures, the “stinger”, resulted in a blank look with a question mark floating in air above my head... These are just pieces of stone placed in random spots. Although, they were not pieces of stone, more like painted black steel. The only thing that I liked about it was that it appeared to be like marble. It was easy to say that the sculpture looked pointless, without meaning. One of the long sculpture seemed like it could be a good relaxing seat for the summer. Of course, I just didn't understand the meaning of the sculpture. What was Tony Smith trying to prove to others with this sculpture? I looked at his other sculptures, like the “Light up” painted steel sculpture, and also a strange figure. This sculpture, when the sun shines at it, it creates different shadows. It looks like legs taking a step. It is a creative sculpture seeing it from different angles. I believe it is for one to find its meaning of the sculpture; the feeling of it. Looking at the “Stinger” again, I can see his view as an architect. It looks like a fort. It wouldn’t be my favorite sculpture; I don’t like it that much. Although, going inside the fort looking, "Stinger",  it creates a feeling of protection. That is the only thing nice about it in my opinion. Tony Smith is an architect, and I think he just sees more of abstract art, more like angles and simple shapes. Getting to the point, I don't really see his work as fascinating. His artwork seem simple and kind of obvious shapes.

How Am I Manipulated?
Example 1:

http://www.brandrepublic.com/News/822612/T-Mobile-looks-afterlife-17m-campaign/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ3d3KigPQM

T-mobile advertisement, "LIfe's for sharing," I think to be is a bandwagon argument logical fallacy. This is because it is saying that if you want to be connected with everyone. loved ones...then one should be connected with T-mobile in order to be...belong in the group. Life is for sharing is a direct command. Meaning, you got to share your life with all...stay connected!

Karen Phipson, head of brand and communications at T-Mobile, said: "'Life's for sharing' really cements our focus on relationships, in a way that's energetic, dynamic and involving.

"It's apt that we launch the new strapline in conjunction with our minutes promise, which is all about supporting our customers lives through every-day unbeatable value."

Example 2:

"No one dances at these lame church dances."

This is an Allness fallacy, which was quoted by my cousin this past Saturday.

Self-Assessment
"What did I learn in this class, and what do I have left to learn?" I learned that in order for one to do something or succeed, one should follow through completely by setting their minds to it. One cannot just expect to do it, it is the how much do you want to succeed and how important it really is. Nothing gets done with just saying "I will." Just do it. I have much left to learn in this life...Many years to come for that. I need to learn to do things for myself and for the better. I have to say that I feel half ways prepared. I have been paying for school which is great. Although, I got to learn to be more of depending on my own. To continue my studies I think about what it is that I want in life. I keep that image in my mind to push myself. To finish my studies is very important to me and i want to succeed in it. Honestly, I did not contribute to the experiences of other students in this class. I had been quiet the whole time. I do think though that I got to start at least chatting a bit, to contribute my thoughts to others. Its not the fact of just making friends but also listening and talking about the different opinions of what had been taught and learn from that.
