Nature

Nature is full colors

with beautiful scented flower.

if you're in a forest or a park

its nice even in the dark.

Nature is full of beast and birds

with so many shrubs and ferms.

It's mountain are very high

they almost touch the sky.

Nature has its dessert

and nature has its plain

at times its sunny

sometimes it rains.

Nature is so pretty and bountiful

with snow covered peaks and sounds so beautiful

when people destryo nature , remember

we need nature for our future.

Is cooking art?

I think cooking is art if you make it creative. If you design it and put thoughts into it, then it's art. Making the food pretty and tasting how delicious it is, is the same as art. Art is beautiful no matter how you look at it. You have to put a lot of thoughts into it to make the piece. When you make the food, you want people to taste it to see if it tastes good. Just like how when you create a piece of art and want people to criticize it.

The changes of being artistic are very weird. The questions that come up is why do we live in square houses. If you walk into a house now it is square. I really wish that we had more shapes to work with like, circles or triangles. Wouldn't it be cool if we lived in triangular houses. It would be fun if people live in places that were not all one shape and really boring looking. If we had different shaped houses i think that we would have a different takes on life maybe more fun and less serious.

What if we lived in baskets... I wonder what would happen?

There was a performance at Yerba Buena Center for the Art. The piece was a sound piece with instruments, a video, and movements. The act had five performers and it started with one of them in a pile of shredded paper doing weird gestures. The next thing that really started the performance when one of the performer with shredded paper walked into a small room with the audience and started to make inhuman noises. Soon two more performers joined in and made tons of different sounds including bird noises, breathing noises, and tongue clicking sounds, etc. Soon one performer left and played the bass and it was just two moving performers throughout the art piece. The video was about people that were blind how hard their lives were. I thought the play had something to do with people that were blind and echolocation. There was also an art piece in the room that was half of a hexagon shape with five objects in the shape of a human head. The performance lasted about 90 minutes and my favorite part was when all the actors stopped making noises and calmed down, when the show ended it reminded me of a horror movie because horror movies "never" end happily.

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.
