I've been munching on a bag of chocolate lucky charms for a week or so. It's amazing. Gah! I'm not here! I'm doing homework! If I lurk hard enough and don't post anything it'll be like I'm not here and am doing homework, right? Right?
"Phase III Interpretation: Establishes a connection between structure that can be discerned and the direction in which the artist may be taking the viewer. Allows the viewer to form a relationship with the work of art. Discusses content -psychological, historical, political, religious etc, aspects of the work. Can also deal with feelings the work provokes in the viewer. "what is the artist trying to say? what is the work communicating?""
I am writing on Michelangelo's Pietà , which is something he was commissioned to make by a French cardinal... (it was supposed to adorn the chapel where the cardinal was to be buried.)
I've already covered a lot of the details... but it's kind of hard to guess what an artist might have been trying to say when said artist has been dead for around 450 years. Even harder because this is not something he made just because he felt like it... *blarg*
Edit: If only my instructor would email me back soon... it's 9:30 pm now though so I beginning to think it unlikely ><
yea, part of the reason I chose it in the first place is because YEARS ago I used to carve wood, and the detail in that piece was just so amazing. It's also crazy just how polished it is... like, dang... and this was back before power tools and such. AND the guy was only 23 when he made it. problem is though, I've already covered a lot of what he claims to have been doing with it in other parts of the essay... so talking about it all again means I'm really repeating myself. It was a controversial piece ever since it was unveiled because of how young Mary looks. I have already talked about this in the essay, as well as Michelangelo's reason for it. (Mary Holding Christ's dead body was a common theme north of the Alps at the time, but had not really been given form in Rome or Italy.) So yea, my big problem is trying not to just end up repeating myself because that would make the whole essay sound pretty boring... (which in turn would cause my mark to suck.)
i finally watched the first 2 episodes of my little pony. it wasnt bad but didnt make me be like "omgiloveponiesletmepostthemallthetime" >_>
was it better than pokemon?
well the first couple of seasons of pokemon are different because if i watched them now i would just feel nostalgic so im bias that i like them :P not many shows really interest me now a days lol
Showtime, I was so depressed when the last season of 'The Tudors' ended, but you have totally redeemed yourself with 'The Borgias'. You have made me happy once again!
Random anxiety attacks all day. Made work difficult and sleep painful/impossible.
Paranoia and vulnerability throughout.
Took up smoking again to calm my nerves with relative success.
Confused, depressed, hopeless, yet... very humbled.
I hope I can someday redeem myself to those I have wronged.
Granted I'll ever get the time of day from them again.
My sincere apologies to those it applies to.
Goodnight.

D: You are normally not so hopeless and sad. Surely nothing you've done could be so terrible, Artemicion. /comfort.
Ran out of time.... e-mailed essay that is missing a conclusion simply because a crappy mark is better than no mark... (not to mention if even one assignment is not handed in, it results in automatic failure of the course regardless of mark...)
le sigh...
D: One assignment not handed in is an automatic flunk? Good gosh, that sucks, Kikorimo. Thank goodness I study English, not art, and my professors are more lax!
1.) I should probably read my Social Psychology Textbook..
2.) I really probably should have redone all the work on Excel to change my answers into Percentages for my math..
3.) The soft red mark on the side of my thigh thats as big as my palm, hurts like a ***.
4.) Why the hell did she have to go to bed right when I started Skype up?
5.) My toes are cold.
6.) I wish SE would fix the problem so I can play.. I miss my friends.
7.) I should update my blog on Tumblr.
8.) I really should have cleaned today.
9.) I should shower..
10.) I want to watch a movie..
11.) Annnnddd.. I should probably stop thinking so much.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
