Banksy!

We were showed a Banksy painting today. The painting depicted a man in dark clothing how colorful flowers. There wasn't much detail in the clothing or the man itself, but tons in the flowers. You can see the shading, the petals, and the centers. The man is in a position that makes him look like he's throwing something. Something that could be a bomb or a grenade. But in his hands are beautiful flowers. I think this painting is saying that we throw around dangerous things like flowers. The picture is below. Interpret it as you wish.

Sorry I'm Late!

Today we were showed a stop-motion animation called "Sorry I'm Late". It was actually pretty cool. It must have taken forever to make. My favorite part was in the beginning when he was riding a bike and flew into a tree. It was not my favorite part because he fell, it was because there was a swing on the tree, and the branches were rustling. It looked like the part that took the most work, but it turned out really well. I can only imagine how long it took to take every single one of those pictures and putting then into a video.Ar the end of the video, they showed the credits, and I can tell you now that there were many people used in the making of this video. Creating a stop-motion looks fun. It would probably take forever to make and there are many things that would make you start over. I would definitely like to attempt one sometime. The video is below, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Sing, Sang, Sung..

Today in English class, we watched the music video for "Sing, Sang, Sung" by Air. I thought it was really  cool at first. It was colorful, bright, and just interesting in general. There was a lot of moving factors all throughout the video, but after a minute it made a a little dizzy. I didn't like how the ball would change sizes while rolling. Otherwise, it was a fun video.

Modern Art!

Today in class, we were assigned to look up a piece of art that we thought was beautiful, or interesting. I chose a piece that was colorful and kind of mysterious. I think it's beautiful just because of the vibrant colors. It looks like a tunnel of rainbow-ness! At the end of this colorful tunnel, there is a light. I thought it was super pretty, and I hope you like it too!
