I think we were all kinda of brain dead today. O UO
But, we all voted (ALL OF US) for watching videos. Jimmy talked about how artists were creative people and if we said we didn't know how to do it and didn't do it-- we'd all be at square one. True. O UO I was still hoping for some instruction when doing that protector thing, even though when I figured it out-- it was easy. Haha.
We watched TED videos. One was from John Maeda on Simplicity. It was kind of interesting and amazing how he kinda like my nerdy younger brother-- haha. I'm kidding-- though he does look like him. Maeda talked about his career, and how simplicity and complexity followed him around. Simplicity is an important factor in our artistic lives, and so is complexity. We have to know when to use which.
Other than that, I was interested in his works. From an aesthetic side, I really liked his visual calender. But, the hilarious ones was about the cheeto paint program and field of golden fries.
The next TED video was Scott McCloud. He was interesting too, and it was great that he visualized everything. I'm a visual learner and hands-on learner myself. Haha. His topic was Comics, I think. But, he also talked about his own life, and made it a comic too. His father was supportive of him, and his chosen career-- which I think is pretty rare considering there's so many people who'd give you odd looks if you go into the art alley. O nO
