Bio
My name is Samantha Watson. Im 19 and a 2008 graduate from Bonney Lake High school. My senior year I did a running start program at Pierce Community college in Puyallup which gave me college credits as well as high school credits. So instead of going directly to the Art Institute my plan was to stay there and get my AA and then transfer. However after my second year there I decided it was time for me to move on, and the rest is history! Im majoring in Fashion Marketing and hope to someday travel the world. Im not entirly sure what I want to be when I graduate here. I really just want to keep my mind open to everything that this field has to offer and then choose from there.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
I consider myself to be an art lover. Hating on art isn’t something I typically do, most of the time if I don’t like it I don’t spend too much time on it, and it’s not something I find myself dwelling on. I find art to be more fascinating then anything, you never know what the artist was thinking when they created the piece they did, it can be the most obvious thing but mean something totally different. However for this assignment knowing I was supposed to hate something made me look at art in a whole new way! While looking at the piece of “art” titled “untitled” I was rather peeved, just for the simple fact that it looks like a bench, there’s nothing original about it. I could have come up with that, it’s annoying to know that ordinary/everyday objects are turned into works of “art” and people make zillions of dollars off of it. Who would have thought to slap some concrete together in the shape of a bench, stick it in Sculpture Park and now it’s magically considered a work of “art.” Being as peeved as I was about it I was successfully able to see it from the artist’s point of view as well as all the other people that consider this art, because for some reason if you stare at it long enough it turns into different shapes, and may serve other purposes then just a bench. However I was unsuccessful in changing my mind about liking this piece. It wasn’t as if I couldn’t I just don’t think I really wanted to like it because to me it’s still a bench, and there’s only one thing about a bench that I like, and that is that you can sit on it.
