Big Ideas

Purpose: Having purpose to something gives the item a value in one way or another. Rules is what I choice because there are rules for almost everything and anything we do. As a child I always heard "No Jason, your not allowed to do that", if I would have done some of the stupid things back then that I wanted to do then I may have not been in the good health I'm in now, i.e. no broken bones or fractures.

Identity: I chose clothes for identity because how a person dresses can tell a lot from who they are. If you have the same type of clothes as somebody else, the chances are that you two may get along just that much better because from the get-go you already have a common ground with the other.

Sound: Music sums of most of the sound that goes on around the world. Rather the sound is accidental it could still be in rhythm with other sounds, a lot like birds. The way that they communicate is a way of music to some people

Better late than never, but better late is better. My bad about the tardiness.

Typical morning of college.


First, break fast of a champion.











Then just another day of practice.











Following with classes, classes and more classes.

Connotations: In this picture I feel as if the artist, Jennifer Maestre was trying to show how frightful things can still keep the same apperance as looking delightful. Altough the Carnivorous plants are not the most beautiful things to look at, they still have relation to the flower.

Denotations: This work of art is constructed by pencils cut in half and the lead side of the pencil is on the outer part. By doing this it gives the structure the "do not touch" look. But on the inside are the eraser side of the pencil, which seem to almost forming a mouth. The erasers are all worn down to a fine point, I don't see the meaning for doing so but it does make it look find of cool.

Connotations: This picture by the great Falko Ohlmer looks as if it should be in one of Gnarles Barkley's songs. I think that the artist is trying to show how the universe is too much to understand and this is what it really looks like (ha).

Denotations: There are two right hands in this picture, on at the top of the picture trying to balance a ball like object on top of a pyramid. The other hand is near the lower corner and it seems to be levitating three evenly cut squares in the palm of the hang. There are other pyramids, circles, and squares randomly placed around the rest of the image.
