Weekend 4 of 5: Is that Light at the end of our Tunnel?

Wow, things are moving along quickly, aren't they?  However, it seems that most of you are doing well in managing your time and the assignments.  I hope you are even beginning to slightly enjoy your technological journey.  Remember to ask questions if you have them and come to class early on Friday for extra help :^D

This weekend:  We will put your TaskStream NETS I narratives on TaskStream, become Inspired by Inspiration (slight delay ;-), and make a PSA using iMovie, and post your assignments/artifacts to your blog (Emerging Technology Assignment). We are in for a lot of fun this weekend!

Don't forget to bring headphones and a positive attitude to class this weekend.

This weekend's Question:  What is your current favorite work of art?  It could be a painting, a sculpture, or something else created by an artist. . . Picasso's Guernica is probably my favorite painting. . .and I had the good fortune of seeing it in person at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, Spain. . .It's big and very cool.

  6. I have a few artists that I really enjoy. My Grandma's work of course,Georgia O'Keefe is another an Ang (can't remember the first name). Ang's work includes my favorite picture (the name escapes me),nude woman with peacock feather. This piece has some controversy about the artist use of proportions on the woman's back.

  7. I looked it up online...the artist is Ingres but it is pronounced Ang and the name of the picture is Odalisque. It is in the Louvre.

  12. Okay so this won't be as cool to everyone else, but my friend sketched the cover of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for me because it's my favorite movie. It is amazing and I have it framed in my room.

    I also love Richard Avedon. I was able to see an exhibit of his in Denmark and it was gorgeous photography.

  13. It's a tie between my self portrait for this class ;-P ,one of Davinci's inventions (probably the glider) and one of Salvador Dali's drippy clocks; depending on my mood.

  20. I think that Anselm Kiefer work is amazing. He uses a variety of media such as sand, hair and metals in his work. Anselm was an artist during WW2 so alot of his work is dark and abstract.

  23. I would have to say anything modern because it reminds me of my daughter's emerging love for this type of art!

  24. Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel is magnificant!

    I also like Monet's artwork. He has a painting with lilies that looks pretty. I don't know what it is called. I saw it on display in San Diego at the Museum of Art.

    I also like Michelangelo's Pieta. It is a beautiful sculpture!

  25. My brother Tom always sketched some amusing pieces. His style was similar to Escher's. I like art shows; unfortunately when I find something I really like it is always way too expensive.

  26. Mine would have to be any work by Vincent Van Gogh. I saw his original work in an Art museum in Amsterdam. His family had donated all the paintings to the museum. Very sad life story. He died very poor.

  27. I like almost all of Di Vinci's work
