Post #4- Lecture Native American-Gothic Architecture

 Native American to Gothic Architecture

The difference between Native American Architecture to Gothic Architecture is very drastic, but in a very revolutionary way. Native Americans started with very simple and easy structures, like the teepee. Then the Greeks built the Amphitheatre that brought new light to audiences and performers. Then there were chariot races, which the worst seat in the house was being the performer. The Romans brought the Colosseum, which brought more versatility to performances/events like, Ludi Romani games, animal slaughters, and the flooding of the colosseum to clean up the aftermath of the slaughters. After the Colosseum, there was the Pantheon, which means "all gods." The pantheon was built for wonder and prestige. There was a hole at the top for light to shine through and for people to feel closer to the heavens. The Hagia Sophia had revolutionized acoustics, lighting and temperature control. After the Hagia Sophia came the Gothic Cathedral. The Gothic Cathedral had three entrances to represent the holy trinity, and it became a new place of entertainment. Like a form of entertainment all of the buildings we learned about all had some form of entertainment and value to each culture/background.

Post #18- LECTURE - ELECTRONIC MEDIA and PERFORMANCE

 Experimental film is performance art with a camera. It doesn't have to tell a story, or it doesn't have to have a message. It can relate to deep feelings or messages, or it can also be very boring. It was social and personal expression. There was no wrong answer. 9 evenings and theatre and engineering were becoming performance and technology. It was Avant Garde. Anything is art. Scientists began to create art. EAT (experience art and technology) was many people coming together to create art. It showed collaboration of art and technology. Electronic art works with technology! Father of video art Naum June Paik purchased the first Sony portapak. He created a brand-new art form.... Video Art. He also created the Magnet T.V. The electronic superhighway was to say that someday we will be able to connect from anywhere. David Halls TV interruptions was an installation of seven video works that were initially commercials, but it was to just relax and leave the world for a couple of mi...

Post #2 Raul Cuero

 Post #2- Raul Cuero I very much agree with Raul Cuero. Being able to innovate is having something added onto, but being able to invent is way more important because we get to be a part of something new.  Everyone can be creative especially those who want to invent something are more creative than those who want to innovate on something that has existed. Everyone has their own creative mind and I agree with what he said over being you and your own inventor.  In my daily life, I can apply what Raul said, by being able to not follow instructions that were given but being able to innovate them and apply and invent new ones that can get me a better end result. Rues to need to be followed but being creative is by following them, but being able to do it in your way.  Notes from short video watched in class: The pheromones are molecules that make a connection when the temperature gets higher.  Information you pick up, you need to apply it to be knowledge, if you don't ...
