Final Blog Post

For the most part I must say I have really enjoyed keeping a blog.
I found that blogs are a institutionalized source to publicizes one's ideas or privatize one's self. Meaning that people can chose to write on anything of interest and present it to the public or keep it to themselves. I have also become quiet acquainted and fond of the blogging world. I can't say that I will keep it up after this course ends, but I can say that I appreciate being introduced to its sources.
The blogs I tracked over a period of a month were very interesting although they did not always relate in terms of topic they were similar in terms of how they expressed themselves to the public and what they talked about which was art and occasionally politics, events that happened in the news, things that related to our social society and so on.They also had other links on their sites that I occasionally visited. But what I most enjoyed about these sites were their down to earth persona and how they spoke on the history of Art and their own relationship to art. I really enjoyed it because I could become in tune with their topics and plus they had wonderful displays of artwork to look at.

Day 10

I know its been awhile since I last been on hear.

Its nice to see that people who are interested in art are just as interested in politics. Even more interesting to see their opinions on the politicians views. one blogger quotes That a little bit of their soul might die if their country fails like this again. What she meant was how can America be so stupid to allow another republican into office or even have the thought too. The blogger said can't people see between the lines all his lies. I mean I agree with the blogger if you have been keeping up with the politicians in the media its seems all they have been doing is telling us lies. Its kind of hard for any one to chose and pick the best candidate.

Day 9

Have you ever thought about the little things you take for granted? or even the little things that you make such a big deal over like which product taste better "Coke or Pepsi?" or which shoes go best with my outfits? These are the things that we put so much emphasis into, instead of the things that are actually more important like, "will our next candidate uphold his promises as president?" or "How can we make our environment safer and cleaner?" The question is the majority of our population don't. There is a small percentage of those who do care, but it isn't enough to make a sufficient impact. These socialistic things are some of the things that the bloggers on my blog list have commented on. So, I mean what is really important to our society nevertheless our human race? If we know something is wrong or bad why do we continue to do it? Why do we continue to be bitter, fight and argue over things that aren't important? why not change? Is it because we feel like we have no obligation to do so? or Is it because being in the wrong seems so much better? For instance, if our society was given the choice of choosing between living healthy, safe and clean in a remote area that's the resemblance of the rain Forest or the opinion to live within the city with technology, smut, debris and disease? Which one would you chose? The majority of the people would decide to live within the city because they believe technology would be safer and could help them simplify their lives and make everything better. Only a Small percentage again would chose to go green. Why is it we chose to be weird and enjoy the weirdness things or find humor in someone falling or being tortured or hurt? Why do we enjoy the things we enjoy? Why?

Day 8

All I can say is wow!

The blogs I read today give insight into our society and the world around us as well as into the lives of the bloggers themselves. Its kind of sad that the leader of our country that we rely on has made a mockery of not alone himself, but our nation too. It is even sadder that we have just excepted his actions and have ourselves made a mockery of him by making comedic videos and breaking him down on reality shows, but I guess that's life. If we as a nation dwelled solely on who and how one person governed our nation, I don't believe that we could call ourselves a free nation of America.

Day 7

Today, the blogs I've read are interesting and sort of made me think about my life and what's important in it and is it something I can share with others. Each blogger has wrote about a reminiscing time in there life that had some sought felt meaning behind it. Each was different and unique in terms of what and how they experience what they experienced, but each blogger lesson learned was similar because each learned new and interesting within themselves and learned a meaning full lesson behind their experience. More so, each blogger biography in a way can be considered as social entities of mass production because their lessons learned are and can be foreseen by many around the world because each share a passion with a work or master piece of art either by the production of their on hands or by the creation of others hands they all share the same passion of great art, facts and history.

Day 6

It's funny how everyone enjoys the life of art but Commemorates it with things that they consider a master piece of production like the media and television shows. Those on my blog list have recently been talking about things in general that don't necessarily have to do with the fine arts but what I guess you can say is essential arts of drama, action and intense filled creativity. For instances Soaps- illusions and passion yet intense filled drama, News- on the edge heart throbbing intensified action or even prize winning trivia's. All these things connect us with something that we can all enjoy and relate back to in many different ways and on many different levels.
It's like artist must appreciate the little things of life that produce an bigger impact to understand art because if artist did not or people did not we would not know that stipulation(the replication of small dots to produce something bigger) whether hand done or electronically done can make up a whole new form of art like "television or computers". Now artist aren't just subjected to the basic fine arts of line drawing and painting but graphic design as well. So I guess the production of media isn't such a bad thing when art is its key foundation to implicate or replicate it as well as give artist that much more to become creative.
I also must say that this experince of searching and viewing blogs has boarden my knowledge of art as well as mass media production because these artist or art reporters aren't just writing about the fine arts or mass media but a combination of both they for one are sharing wonderful trivia and artifacts about art through an expanded production of mass media the blog. They are also providing tips to using and understanding art and technology as well as giving dates to many different places that enhances and gives meaning to art and the history of art at the same time. There's not much I can say about this other than I really appreciate it alot.

Day 5

Wow, I've missed so much in just a day. The three blogs that I have read have been quiet interesting. Each blogger has given insight and input into medial reviews, political humiliation, and wonderful topics and facts about pieces of art work. One blog I read publicized the front cover on the New Yorker it had a picture of the Obama's Barack dressed in Muslim wear and Mitchell styling a Afro hairdo and dressed in army fatigue, carrying a A-K 47 while standing in the Oval office. In the background there was a picture of Osama Bin Ladden and the American Flag being burnt in the fireplace. I can't really give input into how that makes me fell because I don't know what is entirely true about the depiction of the illustration and the article that went along with it. But I can say that it should not have been posted on the front page. This critical opinion should have been placed within the article and an illustration of that depiction should not have been publicized.
Well the other articles I've read talked about medial news from other countries and talked on the topics of how colors and scenes make you feel and about unknown artist who live double lives. I love this because I can about so many controversial things and at the same time get enjoyment, understanding and fulfillment of the world around me.

Day 4 Time slowly moving

Today The blogging world is unresponsive none of the bloggers on my blogroll have posted anything new I guess because today is Sunday, for some bloggers it's been three-five days since there last posted blogs. It may be time for me to start searching for some new blogger who keep a steady up to date blog of the art world around us. But I guess I'll take some time off myself from the blogging world because it seems I'm becoming addict to it.

Well until later, aRtIsT
