The Politics of Art & Authenticity

This was my favorite class this semester. I looked forward to going to this class every Tuesday and Thursday. I was able to experience performances that I would have never experienced.Thank you, Professor Davis! I probably would have never imagine going to the opera or watching a modern dance performance. This class has opened my eyes to many different types of art and I am so happy it did. It made me appreciate all the talented people that put their soul into what they loved doing.

Going to these events have inspired my final project. I had fun taking the pictures for my stop motion. I just wish I had more time. I was planning to do a claymation but my art skills tell me otherwise. So I still with using Legos. I took multiple pictures and that was so time consuming. It really showed how patient I was with this project but their were moments of frustration when I had to redo a whole scene because I made a mistake on one picture. This was a lot of work but it did produce an enjoyable clip. I did have fun making this stop motion and it made me reflect on the love I have for my dog.

I’d like to thank my classmates that help me with this project. I am also happy that I got to experience it with my classmates. They made it so much more enjoyable. I’ve grown closer to most of them and they are a group of great people. This seminar was an amazing experience. I don’t think any other one can top it.
