Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
Walking through the Olympic sculpture park I was amazed with all the creative sculpture that I saw except for one and that was the Riviera. The Riviera was made by a man named Anthony Caro in1971-1974. The reason why I didn’t like it was because it was a rusty color and I really couldn’t understand the main meaning of the sculpture. Anthony often work in steel, but also in a diverse range of materials, including bronze, silver, lead, stoneware, wood and paper. Anthony Caro came to public attention with a show at the White chapel Gallery in 1963, where he exhibited large abstract sculptures brightly painted and standing directly on the ground so that they engage the spectator on a one-to-one basis. This was a radical departure from the way sculpture had hitherto been seen and paved the way for future developments in three-dimensional art. As I was researching Anthony Caro I came upon this artist that has some sculptures that were similar to Caro’s work. Her name is Louise Nevelson she has the same idea like Anthony of what an abstract sculpture was. She worked with metals and materials like Anthony. I have learn more about the Riviera on why it was built that way and how it’s an choreographed with an extended series of irregular forms, and unfolds laterally, like a landscape. After going back to see the sculpture I really took more time studying the sculpture and realized that it remind me of home. Were I was born it is really dry and you do see a lot of old rusty buildings and fields and that really remind me of the sculpture. I think I didn’t really like it because I don’t like the color on the sculpture I think it’s depressing. So I don’t really love it but I don’t hate it. I think because it reminds me of home I have learned to like it because I miss home and I do like my home town.

Midterm Assignment 3: Always Wanted To Progress Report (100 words or so)
Following up on my project so far, for 6 weeks has been good. I have been on track for every week and plan to stay on track until the end of project. For my first week I was researching the history of teriyaki chicken and the chopsticks. On the week 2 I worked on making my note cards for presentation on the history part. On week 3 I got online to find the ingredients on the teriyaki sauce and that same day went to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for my project. After buying the ingredients I went over the recipe on how to make the teriyaki chicken. On week 4 I began to practice with the chopstick for that whole week. And now have also finished week 5, 6 and know on week 7.
