Why Do I Like What I Like?
The sculture that i chose to write about was the Bunyun's Chess, created by the artist Mark di Suvero. What i didn't like about this sculpture was that it looked just like what it was, hanging logs. I couldn't get no ideas or creativeness from it. Using a different type of metal to me would of made this sculpture look better. The metal poles he used look kind of weak, using solid steel beams or stronger metal would of made it look like the logs were better supported. Other sculptures he created were the famous 1966 Peace Tower in L.A, that was created as a symbol of protest against the Vietnam War at the time. He also did a second sculpture years later for the protest of the Iraq War. Mark di Suvero was an idealist and philosopher and i think it's cool that he used art to express his views of the world. I found an artist who had a similar style of art like Mark name John Searles. His work was pretty good and creative with using shapes and flow with metal. Taking a look back at the Bunyan Chess sculpture i see that maybe he wanted to make it seem like the logs were floating in the air. I can see why he used thin beams because from far away you wouldn't be able to seem them good so all you'll see is the logs suspended in the air. Before i wasn't able to see the thought but now that i learn about him and his art, i can see where he was going with this so i was able to change my mind about the piece. It was creative, i just had to take a different look at it.

How Am I Manipulated?
Bridgestone Commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNKsdhF49M0

"For drivers who want to get the most out of their cars, it's Bridgestone or nothing."

The vehicle is in outerspace hopping around on jagged rocks with the two guys inside enjoying the ride. It shows them having fun but when the tires are stolen off the vehicle, the party stops. In reality the vehicle wouldn't be able to do that although it's true that a vehicle needs its tires but not exactly Bridgestone tires. It's telling the viewers without Bridgestone tires your not getting the most out of your car and only with Bridgestone you would be able to. People want the most out of not just cars but life and the commercial gets the viewer thinking that their car is not giving it's best so some go out and buy them to feel that they are getting the most out of their cars.

"White people can't dance"

One of my friend's girlfriend was dancing in the livingroom, drunk of course and my cousin Navy blurts out "White people can't dance" which sometimes isn't true. You don't have to be white to not know how to dance, it doesn't take one's race to determine that. Yea she couldn't dance but i've seen some white people get down. I've also seen some Asian, Black, and other race of people who couldn't dance and who were off and looked like they were stuck on their own beat. I heard that saying many times and it isn't fully true. Im not the greatest dancer but i do what i can do.

Self-Assessment
Some things i learned in class was there was a secret society of philosophers in Rome. I didn't know that they had to be secretive about their thoughts and writings. I also learned that there are alot of talented people in the class. I learned that the firepit that they use for glass blowing is called a glory hole. I always knew that advertisments were made to help convice or trick someone into buying something but i didn't know what a fallacy was. I still have a lot much more to learn and i hope from now till the time i graduate i'll gain more knowlegde, muturity and confidence. I have to get use to speaking in front of people and presenting. Somethings i did well was come to class, and doing each assignment. I could of spoken more and participated in class discussions. I don't really feel more prepared but it got me kind of use of going to school again and getting the feel of things. I've been out of school for five years and i think its great that im starting my education again. Makes me feel young again. Working sixty hours a week at Boeing gets you feeling old and tired.
