Step one: 5 year plan

In five years I will hopefully be in attendance of grad school getting my Masters of Fine arts to become a professor teaching Painting studios. Furthermore, financially if I am stable enough, I would like to establish a career in a city or down south, in Florida. Being a successful professor at a college, with a side job being an artist living in a studio apartment somewhere in a city would be the most ideal destination for my 5 year plan.

Response to Homework number 5

First off being not politically well- rounded and not keeping up with the regular news on a basis, seeing the opinion page being a featured thing in the New York Times is very interesting to me. However, the article itself was a good read and brought back the memories of my freshman year when I took communication courses and learned about the media in extensive lengths. People comparing Trump to, Guy Debord's "The Society of Spectacle" is an interesting take on a view of politics because it is comparing media to everyday things like technology, which of course we all have our own perspectives on.

Response to Homework number 4

After watching the font video and recognizing how much fonts impact peoples lives and what it goes into the creation and having knowledge about the placement of where these fonts go and what thought goes into it; made me more conscious to how it really does affect your life. Reading articles about how it changes your mood and how it compels you to continue reading or to stop opened my eyes to how real that accusation really is. Being told that Times New Roman is the only official font that you have to use under any professional measure is something I convinced myself since Middle school when making Resumes or essays. Being an Art major changing the font on your resume is something that probably is not frowned upon and when looking into it, it may convince your employer to enjoy it more.

Response to " Everybody is altered"

The Article called, "Everybody is Altered" was written to discuss the behind the camera alterations that are taken place to modify actors and actresses. This epidemic of altering the appearances of actors and actresses are becoming less of an art and more of a lifestyle that is becoming more influential and impacting the youth of todays society. Eating disorders and body image have been around and evident for years but todays day and age it is more apparent because the expectation of the world have been raised to unthinkable and almost impossible standards. Movies use special affects to an impressive level but now they are retouching a little zit or even a love handle on an actor and actress. This is starting to affect teens because they want more and more to look like these famous people which is disturbing because celebrities don't even look like this now-a-days. I think that everyone should except themselves for who they are and know that its about your acting ability not how beautiful and skinny you are.
