Chapter 5 - Story

Again, I read ahead. I want to get most of it done so that I don't lose sleep and get weak.
I'm still pretty sick, so I have to take it easy.

I really enjoyed this chapter. I think that this is really where the book picks up. Stories are insanely important when it comes to art. Pieces of artwork are their own little stories--their own little narratives in themselves. It's true what he said about paying attention to the narrative more than the facts. I entirely paid more attention to that little story! And when we retell things, we normally have to put them into context and give a story. I always have to explain myself this way, or I confuse myself and the person I'm explaining whatever I'm saying to.

It was a short and concise chapter, and I didn't feel that there was any unnecessary tongue waggling.
He was pretty dead on with his ideas, in my honest opinion.

THIS END PART IS WAY BETTER, GUYS.

HARRELL FLETCHER - notes

I chose to do further research on Harrel Fletcher . Where: Born 1967. From Portland, Oregon. He was originally collaborating with an artist by the name of Jon Rubin within Oakland, California.

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.
