Second Chapter Response

I liked this chapter much more than the previous one. It really brought a myriad of problems that we are facing in our society today to the forefront of the left-brain/right-brain discussion. I love the three steps/causes/whatevers that were outlined. Abundance, Asian, Automation--because it's all true. I have discussions with my friends and family about this sort of things all the time.
I can already see the three A's going on right now. My boyfriend of 4+ years took forever to find a job. He's over-qualified. But all his potential jobs got outsourced, or they were passed on to people who would do the same job but for a fraction of what we consider minimum wage here in Massachusetts.

His most recent project was Corentine's Turtle , wherein, a young boy's sculpture idea was brought to life by Fletcher. This was done in 2006. How: Fletcher employs many different techniques to create his work. It ranges from drawing and sculptu...

Project Review - Tricia Richardson

Tricia Richardson Tricia's movie was wrought with nostalgia, obsession, and collection. I loved the way she used the hands to tell a 'memory' story about item collection, nostalgia, memory, and relationships. The lighting was great, the motions were lovely, and the pacing was appropriate and sweet. The song was great. I didn't mind the bittersweet lyrics, they added to the movie overall, giving it more of a sweet, slightly sad, mood. Pro's: simple, pleasing to the eyes well paced good music appropriate mood playful nostalgic Con's: ending credits too drawn out song lyrics a little too bitter, but still fit. transition from hands to fake hand people a little jarring.
