Francesca Woodman

Hi I'm Dane writing about Francesca Woodman and what I got from her artwork. When I look at the black and white photos it automaticly gives me a mysterious feeling. It makes want to know more about what the person in the picture is feeling and what they want me to see. Also what they are hiding. Overall, when I look at her work I can tell that she knew what she was doing and that she had a message to tell. In this photo it shows a woman kind of creeping and shocked, maybe she's shocked for what she is seeing or that she got cuaght creeping. It could be a lot of things that come to mind but it's what come to yours.

Are Tattos Art?

I think most tattoos are art. It really depends if it's just plain words with no design on it or a picture of something. Some tattoos are meaningful and some are not. There's a lot of beautiful tattoos out there. This is one of the tattoos i really like.

Adventure to the Fishball

Hi everyone! So today, Matthew & Rye decided to split us up into a group of 4 & we had to bring other groups to a place that our group decided to go within 6 blocks. Then when we reached the place, we had to draw something we saw there in 5 minutes. I had fun because my group brought other groups to a place that sold fishballs! YUM! It was also tiring because we had to walk up a hill! After that we came back to the Meridian, had a snack, played a game called category & drew a picture we wanted on the printing block. Overall, it was a great day & I hope we do this more often.

Have you ever thought about how you know your way to your destination? Many of us use nearby stores, road signs, and maps. But do maps really show us everything?

Guy Debord has invented this thing called Psychogeography, which is the study of the way people think geographically. He made these maps (as shown on the right) using his own perspective.

Today, we tried to do something similar, and made the route that we take from one place(i.e. home) to our destination(i.e. Meridian Gallery). Our maps were made more mentally than geographically. As we put our routes on paper, we thought about what we saw, heard, and smelled when we went through the route. It was a lot of fun, and I'm very excited to have my map printed on my shoes!
