First Blog Post

I've tried using Adobe Illustrator a couple times in the past.

I'm hoping to just experiment more with Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator and by the end of the semester to have a better understanding on how to use them. 

I don't really have much experience with using the computer.

I have done one small project on Adobe Illustrator and have tried using Photoshop before but had some difficulties. 

I do have a computer at home but it does not have either Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator.

I use a Mac.

I am a Visual Studies Major.

An interesting fact about me is that I am an only child.

I don't have a favorite musician but I enjoy electronic music.

I have a blind cat.

Diary

I have my first real gallery showing tomorrow. This time my paintings will be offered for sale. It’s a smallish gallery, but you have to start somewhere, right? I’m nervous, not because I don’t think my work is really good, but that no one will be interested in buying it. Especially because they are priced so high. I’ve been selling my paintings since I was around 16, but this is a whole other league. The gallery owner says you have to think big, that the collectors you want to reach will just sniff at something that’s “priced like a paint by numbers thing” (her words). She says I should work hard at closing on just one piece, and that once I have a red sticker other buyers will take a closer look at my unsold paintings because someone else thought it was worth having. Time to get to the gallery for an all-nighter of prep work. I probably wouldn’t be able to sleep anyway. Think big $$$$.

Homework #2

If someone lies about the small stuff, should you believe him when he talks about things that really matter? All Americans, not just the media, should ask that question about Trump and answer it for themselves. The author suggests that the answer is no. What Trump said about the size of the inauguration crowd, who wrote his speech, and the location of the concert was incorrect. And it was easily proved that it was incorrect. What makes an incorrect statement a lie, is the intent of the person making the statement. If he knew what he said was not the truth. If so, then we can and should call it a lie. We all make mistakes and say things that we think are true but are not. Lies, however, are not mistakes. Why lie about trivial and unimportant things? Why try to say that there are "alternate facts" at issue. Facts are facts.They are not opinions.

5 year plan

Five years from now, I will have graduated from Temple University. I don’t know where I will be in terms of my art, but I know I want to want to make a contribution and bring something of myself to the world of art. Maybe I will be offering private art lessons to students, because I have always enjoyed working with younger kids. I will most likely be living in an apartment either in Baltimore, MD (where I’m from), or Philadelphia depending on job opportunities. It’s hard to say where I will be in 5 years from now but I’m hoping I will be more confident and happy person.
