The Beauty Of Art Blog I

One day when I was in work I was asked to make a delivery over in Earl hall on campus. I never went to earl hall so I wasn’t really prepared for what was about to hit me. When I walked in I saw the most beautiful display I have ever seen in my life. There was nothing but a beautiful display of art all across the whole building. The pieces looked as if a person jumped into the painting and created the painting into life.


The shading was perfect as well as the details of the person they made. It was a man on a pair of drums and the background fitted the emotion of the painting. I can see the feelings of the painter through his or her piece because after all The beauty of art is in the fingertips of the painter.

Words By The Rest Is Unwritten Blog B

Looking at The Blogger “The Rest Is Still Unwritten” I believe that their questions are in fact great test and quiz questions. I say this because they make you think, not just in a knowledgeable way but also in a personal way as well. It forces you to look at certain issues in a different way. I know for a fact that the questions allow you to find a different aspect to the questions that you never thought you could see.


The question that caught my eye the most was question number four. It said “how does the creative industry hold people who are creative Ransom to their own self image?” I like this question because it not only connects personally to me but it also made people think about how the industries are. The steps the industries take to create an artist or creative person in to the star they are now. Is it because of the creative person’s arts or is it the image they could portray to the fans who watch?


It also reminds me about the things that have been happening in the industries. Think of the word ransom. The word ransom generally means to hold captive. So that being said could it be possible that the industries have been holding the artist talents captive and only have been trying to promote their appearance rather than the talents they could portray. This question opens your mind to the different possibilities and forces you to say what if?

Whos Questions Blog A

Questions: 1.) What can be the link or battle between inspiration and experience? How does it protein to you in your life and in college?

2.) What sort of limitations do you think you have? Do you allow it to affect you, or do you feel the need to overcome it? Do you think in our society limitations play a role in life that many never try to pass?

3.) Can Eureka moments give you the push needed to create new ideas and thoughts? If so how could that help you think of new ideas?

4.) What does the overnight test consist of and would you take the test? Why would you take the test? and what would it mean to you?

5.) What would you prefer most? The overnight test or the lunch test/ explain why?

Answer to question # 1: First of all the link between the two words Inspiration and experience is the ability to make new changes that could benefit society but the battle between the two words goes far beyond just being different. Inspiration is the influence to cultivate the ideas in a creative way that may make difference or inspire the minds of other people.

While experience is encountering a certain issue in life that teaches you to make certain decisions. Many people use this experience to teach others the right path to walk. For example: Parents use their experiences to teach their children to make right decisions and how to learn from their mistakes. So I ask you? How can Inspiration and experience be put hand in hand to make a difference?

Inspiration is the ability to cultivate ideas right? Well what if the idea you came up with failed? Say it failed because of a certain thing you did that wasn’t meant to be there. You will use the experience from your failed attempt to change the way you approach the idea. This is using two skills to organize your idea so that you fix and change any flaws that may occur.

The Fun Of Video Production Blog A

My video project was something that I had a lot of fun doing. It gave me a chance to show my craziness out in the opening and let people see the things people feel in this world. The video project at first had me stumped mainly because I didn’t know how I was going to start it but once I got it the video production began.

I honestly believe that I could have gotten at least a B- in this project. I say this because it definitely showed that I worked really hard on it. I showed that my information is valid; I was able to talk about a positive thing. I interviewed three students and one mentor and discussed what they felt peer mentoring was and still explained what they meant to my viewers.

Two things that I could’ve done better was the sound on the first part of video and providing a good title that could grab your attention. Other than those components I believe that I did a Great job on this project.
Once again this project was awesome and I loved working on it. I wish that we can do another one of these projects. So I guess my only question for you is 1.) What is my grade? 2.) What does Peer Mentoring mean to you?

My Space Blog I

Studying for me is hard for me in many ways but one of the worst reasons why it is hard is because I can become very distracted from what I am doing at the time, especially if I was bored. So in order for me to completely keep my mind on my work is by being in a quiet place and having music in my ears. With these two components I will successfully study with no interruptions.

One place that I have found that gave me that sense of peace is over by the Lyman center all the way on the other side of the campuses. I choose this place because there isn’t anything so interesting that my eyes will be glued to it. It also shows that it has the brute of the sun shining in that area. I love the heat so I need a place where I can stay warm. It’s secluded so I don’t really hear or see a lot of people coming in and out of that area.

Honestly I don’t know if I really want to show you where it is but it’s so obvious you will find it anyways so I will tell you. Its located right next to Engelman where the parking lot is. As soon as you walk outside from the bagel wagon, you walk down stairs then take a left where the parking lot is. That area is where my study space is at.

My Moments of Triumph Blog B

According to dictionary.com creativity is the ability to transcend traditional ideas but I think creativity is more than that. To me it is the ability to transform your reality into new possibilities to further the future. The ideas, diagrams, and simulations we create in our minds gives us new creations in this society and world. Without the ability to be creative I feel that we would not have a set base to our ideas. They would be incomplete and unbalanced. That to me is the ability of creativity.

The first creative moment I had was when i was in foster care and was blessed with the chance to see a Forest Glade. I met this girl in the forest at the home I was in. She led me to this white beaten up piano. It seemed to still work. She asked me to play it but I never played the piano before so I was confused on playing it. She insisted that I play so I rubbed my fingers across the keys and felt something different. Next thing you know I was playing something beautiful on the piano. She then sat next to me and we combined the cords we played in order to create a beautiful melody.

The best idea that I have ever had was to listen to woman about how they see men as well as life. The reason the idea was good is because I was able to see through their eyes. See the answers to many questions men can’t answer. I was able to grow up and become a true man that will respect and love a woman the way they should be treated. We as men are blinded to many things because we chose to keep our eyes close to the opinions and ideas of others.

There are many forms of creativity and each form is contingent upon the person who is being creative. I do see myself as a creative person. Not just in the form of arts but in how I see and project things in life. My creativity allows me to help people and make a difference in the world. As children we see things in such a creative way. Even though I am getting older I still think in ways of a child because it is the roots to who I am today. Creativity is the power to make a difference through many possibilities.

Whats the Truth To Creativity V

Creativity to me is the ability to create new possibilities in the world as well as your own life. I say this because without the creative mind we will not be able to connect our ideas to the point where it has a set form. It kind of reminds me of when I was younger. I could walk to a place and create a whole world with just the thought of my mind. Creativity gave me the ability to paint a new picture to my life.

As I got older I was able to take that ability and compress it in an idea that can help people. My eyes began to open to the different possibilities of the world. We as people may not know what the future would be like but we do have the ability to use creativity to make decisions that may lead us to a future that we may want.

I believe we should use our creativity to create a change in this world. Not just a change that will benefit one’s own ideas but a change that can completely alter our reality to the peaceful and loving world we so desire.

Two other words that I learned was Influence and Capacities.

Capacities is the ability to recieve and to contain

Influence is something that effects the decision you decide to make.
