I once again just used my iphone to take these pictures, so I suppose they turned out pretty good.
I think I enjoyed the lightbulb a little bit more because I guess it was just easier to stage

Sontag Writing Assigment

This picture was taken when I was eating lunch with Sopapilla  and she was acting super goofy and joking around. She kept making this face and chuckling for some reason, so I had to at least get a picture of it. This is someone who means a lot to me and I'm very close to, so the picture was intended for memories and to capture a moment that was a lot of fun.

I don't remember what led up to this, but for some reason I was wearing a Dora backpack and we thought it was funny.... My friend wanted to take a picture (to send to someone I believe) so he did. Now I look back on it and it just seems dumb/goofy to have a picture of this. 

I don't remember who I got this picture from, it was forwarded to me a while back.
I thought it was really interesting though. Its also really cool because I could imagine just walking down the street and finding this on a telephone pole, I would have to photograph it as well.

Bills "Dada" lecture - 10/15

Dada began in WW1 and was mostly a protest against war, society, and old social ways.
Dada work usually consisted of appropriation, assemblage, construction, conceptual art, and chance. There were also a few videos that Bill showed to us, not to sure where those would fall.

Main Dada artists whose work was discussed...
Jean App
Hugo Ball
Kurt Schwitters

10/29 - 'thats pretty good for a girl' lecture

Movement consisting of female artists setting themselves apart...
women thought they were being minimized.

1. essentials and identities 
 personal, the body, sexuality, vaginal iconography, female attributes.
2. material / techniques
3. activist.
performance, and sisterhood.
4. distinguished art of men/women.

we also watched an interesting video where a group of female artists took over a house, and did installation work along with performances throughout the house expressing various things such as situations and feelings that only women can experience, along with the responsibilities.

I ended up with tons of pictures, and I'm really happy with how most of them turned out... especially since I just used my iphone to take them.
