How the cellphone has evolved blog entry:

The cellphone has come a long long way since the beginning. Some could argue that the cellphone has taken over todays society. It is hard to find a single person who does not own a cellphone. It is eve hard to find somebody who doesn't own a smart phone. We have transformed into a world where most couldn't even survive without one. To think back to a time where you had to get a dictionary to know how to spell words is odd to think about. Technology is all around us. Everywhere you look. Just to be able to take a photograph using a little rectangular box in your pocket can be mind boggling. From the initial use of technology you could do multiple different things, like a camera, you could take a photograph, to type something using a typewriter, using a dictionary, call someone, all of these things can now be found on one item in your pocket, there are also numerous apps that allow you to draw! In my opinion the definition of the cellphone is the name of this class; Art & Technology.
The cellphone has evolved tremendously since it was created by Martin Cooper. The amount of add ons and accessories that have been added, and continues to be added, to the cellphone are mind boggling. Without a cellphone is would be hard to thrive in todays society.
Some add ons, which I mentioned before, are the simple things that we don't think twice about.
A keyboard, a SIM card, camera, front cameras, volume buttons, the act of locking your phone, the lock button, charging your phone, a home button, and countless other features that we do not think twice about in our day to day usage.

One that stood out to me right away was Michael Bublé. I have been a fan of Michael since before he was well known. His rendition of 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' is also one of my favorites. It appears he is performing on a TV show but I'm not sure which show. The set up however is very coordinated with Christmas, obviously. The lights and bright stars in the background set a mood that you only get to feel around Christmas time. I really enjoyed this clip on the blog. Barbra Streisand is a name I know of but am not familiar with. So I decided to watch the clip with her about the show 'Play Bill', which is also a title I recognize but am not familiar with. An odd thing I noticed right away was that Barbra's hair was crimped to what seems the smallest it could be. I'm sure it has noting to do with the clip but it adds to her character that I do not know. The clip I watched was about the recording process and her singing the famous song 'Fifty

Opera Essay

Julia Christensen Gregg Perkins Art & Technology 11 January 2019 Aeneas and Dido     Aeneas and Dido was composed by Henry Purcell in 1689. It is a love story similar to Romeo and Juliet. From the get go the mise en scene of this opera is very bold. The opening scene has actual fire which does not seem note worthy but if you think of the time period it is extraordinary. Dido feels no self worth in the beginning so the lighting is very dim. Besides the fire there are few light sources so it helps us viewers understand how the mood is. In almost every shot you can see shadows in the back from the fire. Dido being the queen that she is, is dressed to impress in an elegant dress with gold shimmer, even her hair is laced with what seems to be pearls or some fancy rope. When it is her alone in the room I noticed that her mirror was unusually dirty. Probably intended to reflect her feeling of worthlessness, loneliness, and desire. Dido’s makeup throughout the Opera stays simila

For my grid project I enlarged a skull that I had saved on my camera roll. I decided to add my facial features to the skulls face, so I printed out a bunch of different pictures of my face, enlarged them, and then cut and attached them to the skull. It's hard to see but I also added my legs to the bottom of the skull. I thought I needed to add more so I went with the idea to color paper and cut hair like strands and add them to the skull representing my hair.   This project was probably my favorite. It shows creativity and was not too difficult.
