CHP 7 Response

I enjoyed this chapter overall, as I agree that people need to empathize with others more. I may swear like a sailor, but I still try to include other people and be 'emotionally intelligent'. It's important, really. Not because it will help me get ahead, but because common courtesy and respect make the world a better place. Doing something nice, even just smiling at someone, will brighten up their day. And they might smile at someone else, so that makes the world a better place. Wow I feel like a giant hippie. :)

I feel almost as though this book wants to stroke my ego too much. I'm a woman, and because of this, I generally empathize more than the males that I know, simply because of my gender. I'm an artist (or at least I'm trying to be), so I am generally more right-brained than I am left brained (but I like to think I have a happy balance)....
so...Pink just keeps trying to stroke my ego. Stroke the ego of all the people who empathize and use their right brain more than their left. He keeps saying things like "this is not to say that having a completely right brain is the way to go" and he keeps saying we need a balance, but he's not exactly showing it.


I don't know. I just don't think I like it very much. I loved the metaphor list, and even CHP6 was awesome, but ...eh.

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. Later on, he made artwork all over America (and beyond). He normally has people in the area that he is in work with him to create the work. He, essentially, helps build communities. He does public work, with other people. He also does virtual work (learning to love you more), as well as installations and performances for various areas and museums. When: He's still a practicing artist, as are most (if not all) New Media artists. His work applies to the here and now due to it's interactive nature, it's social commentary, and candid-ness. 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.
