Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
Nick Erickson November 2, 2009 Taste and Aesthetics

When I went to the Sculpture Park the sculpture I liked the least was Wandering Rocks by Tony Smith. I didn't like it because it seemed to me like the artist took left over pieces from his other sculpture Stinger and placed them randomly in a field. It didn't understand the purpose or possible message of the objects and they had little aesthetic value to me. When I researched him I found out that he was originally a student of Architecture and that his sculpture ended up being an extension of those Architectural pursuits. Tony Smith was Born in South Orange, New Jersey in 1912 and he went to the New Bauhaus Instituter of Design in Chicago for his Architecture studies but for his sculpture he was mostly self taught though he apprenticed Frank Lloyd Wright. After looking at some of his other works It is obvious to me that he has a passion and possibly an obsession for geometric shapes that he undoubtedly got from his love for architecture. All the sculpture work I saw of his were all sculptures made of steel painted black and it was always many Geometric shapes put together for one final object. Smoke was another sculpture I researched and it was a very large scale black metal shape made up of 43 connected geometric shapes. He seems to me to be obsessed with making these shapes because after research I learned that he makes each one individually as a separate object and then later he would incorporate it into a bigger work. Even in some of the quotes he said, I found that constant appreciation for the architectural aspect of things. One was “I saw some kites, towers and other things by Alexander Graham Bell. They were based on Tetrahedrons, regular four sided solids, all sides are equilateral triangles. It was very strong structurally...” with observations like that I understand now why all his works are based in shapes like that. In the case of Wandering Rocks his shapes were actually separate from one another, he made them separate but never put them together. This was in fact on purpose the random placement was also on purpose and was purposely random because I found out that it was heavily based off of Japanese zen gardens and how their rocks sit isolated and randomly in the decorated sand. Instead of rocks though Smith put his Geometric shapes. He liked how the objects and space between them interacted and how they were separate but still exist together, “space that is defined but not enclosed,” in the japanese gardens as well as stone dwelling at Mesa Verde and the ruins of Machu Picchu. He tried to recreate this phenomena in Wandering Rocks. Now I understand the concept behind Tony Smith's sculpture and I know more about what kind of art he pursued. I still don't really like Wandering Rocks much though mostly because I do not have the fascination for architecture or geometric shapes that he has. I also don't appreciate Wandering Rocks as much as I do the Zen Gardens because the Zen Gardens use natural objects found in nature like rocks and sand to complete its related composition. It is to me an arrangement of nature to best make an environment for aesthetic appreciation of nature and for relaxing state of mind because they were used a lot for meditation. I do not get the same effect from Tony Smith's work because it is black metal in a foreign environment and I just feel like that the metal doesn't belong there which is the opposite of how I feel about a zen garden. I also think the Wandering Rocks loses something in not having a blank surface to lie on like the sand for the rocks in the zen garden because the shapes in Wandering Rocks are simple shapes that are very smooth and plain in how it was painted and I think the surrounding area, especially in this work where this space is just as important as the objects, should complement the shapes. So in conclusion I understand the sculpture more but I do not really like it anymore than I already did.

Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAXpJSvW5mA

Levi's O'Pioneers commercial seems like an example of the Glittering Generality because it has a positive connotation of youthful pioneers being associated with Levi jeans by showing young people doing the things related to the O'pioneers poem, which is meanwhile being recited by the narrator, while they are wearing the Levi jeans even though the Levi has nothing to do with pioneering anything in reality.

My other example is an example of proof by example. It was in a conversation me and my friends were having when at one point a friend of mine said that I can not travel to places that are outside of the region where I live without a detailed map or directions. He said this because of previous occasions I've had where I did get lost; both using directions and not using directions. This is a fallacy because it is not necessarily true that I could not go somewhere without getting lost. I have been successful in this scenario at reaching my destination but it is true that I have a poor success record.

Midterm Assignment 3: Always Wanted To Progress Report (100 words or so)
I have already successfully done what I always wanted to do. I took flight in a hot air balloon on week three of the assignment and I was told by the pilot that I was lucky because the group that I went with and I went on what was probably the last flight of the year because of the upcoming weather conditions but we managed to get a nice day to go. I took photos while taking off and many of the landscape I saw from the balloon. I also had pictures taken of me in the balloon at take off so I can prove it was me. I planned ahead of time to have visual presentable material for later in the project. I learned about the history of ballooning both from the pilot himself and from the internet. What I will need to do next is to do the research of different materials so I have more than just online research. I will have to put time aside to make a trip to the Seattle library so I can finish the research portion. Other than that, the project is going very swimmingly and I am ready to get started on getting the presentation ready.

Self-Assessment
For me this class was more interesting than I would have originally expected there are a lot of things in this class that we talked about that I will use and remember in everyday of my life probably. I enjoyed the class the assignments went well going to class was fun and the only problems I had were because of my bad memory or some other error of my own. I liked the assignments especially the Always wanted to assignment and they were all helpful in meaningful ways for the most part. I did not expect a class called General Education to be as enjoyable as it was.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Koro Neil. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Koro Neil~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:41, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:13, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Schedule and Topic Due

 * Thomas,

More specifics here will help. Your topic is not just to "get" the episodes, but also to watch them. Research will involve learning about the different series, maybe reading interviews with creators &c.

The schedule should reflect the quarter--it's going to be more difficult to copmmit time during midterms, for instance.

Hello Former Student!

I'm writing to you because you took a class from me in the past few years at the Art Institute. As of Spring, 2010, I'll not be teaching further classes at AIS for the foreseeable future. (We're parting ways on good terms!) Until now, you've been able to reach my Wikiversity educational resources from my website, but I've decided to delete that link. You can still reach all of those materials here.

If you're interested in what I'm up to in the future (which will include an album in 2010 and a novel in 2011) you can friend my facebook page or drop me an email at info@stevenarntson.info and you'll receive a periodic update about performances, classes, and publications.

If you know any current or former students of mine who might be interested in any of this, please forward this information if you have a moment.

I hope all is well for you. Best! Stevenarntson

Personal Essay
Please post your personal essay, and let me know with an email--I'll take a look at it and offer any suggestions I might have.
 * Best, Stevenarntson

Personal Essay Draft
Good start on this draft. A few suggestions:
 * The draft starts off a little dry--like a research paper. I'd suggest beginning with your own experience before you more into the statistics. Then return to your experience at the end, when discussing solutions.
 * The solutions here are all very personal, which is good, but they don't get at the root problem: that education is becoming more expensive. Spend a little time on that question, too--how can we as a society bring those costs down?
 * There are some grammar difficulties here, throughout: consider visiting the tutoring center to go through it with a tutor before posting your final version.
 * Best, Stevenarntson

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called JulieK. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name JulieK~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:40, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:12, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Barefoot running
Cody, I just found your page - I'm keen on barefoot running - was going to get Vibram Five Fingers KSO, but read and watched a bunch of reviews last night and will wait for the KSO Treks. Let me know if I can help out with your assignment here. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 00:44, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, tx 4 the message, and great to hear you give VFF such a wrap. KSO Treks are in Australia in 2-3 weeks and I've got a pre-order in and hopefully they arrive before a summer camping trip! -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:17, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for slow response. Good to see you've joined the barefoot running project . I pretty much put "everything" I learn or teach here on Wikiversity, so in researching info about barefoot / minimalist stuff I just started dumping here on Wikiversity - and found your page. Are you on the minimalist runner google discussion group - I joined about a week or two ago - its really happening and I'm learning lots just from a few of the posts. Have you ever made a barefoot movie - of what you do? (I'm thinking this could be an excellent learning project around barefoot running). What do you need to do for your assessment here? James. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:25, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:American History/The Great Depression/Day one

German-American Day is a holiday in the United States, observed annually on October 6. The holiday, which celebrates German heritage, commemorates the date in 1683 when 13 German families from Krefeld near the Rhine landed in Philadelphia. These families subsequently founded Germantown, Pennsylvania, the first German settlement in the original thirteen American colonies.[1] Originally celebrated in the nineteenth century, German-American Day died out in World War I as a result of the anti-German sentiment that prevailed at the time. The holiday was revived in 1983.

In 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed October 6th as German-American Day to celebrate and honor the 300th anniversary of German American immigration and culture to the United States.[2] On August 6, 1987, Congress approved S.J. Resolution 108, designating October 6, 1987, as German-American Day. It became Public Law 100-104 when President Reagan signed it on August 18. A proclamation (#5719) to this effect was issued October 2, 1987, by President Reagan in a formal ceremony in the White House Rose Garden, at which time the President called on Americans to observe the Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
First of all, I did my essay on Beverly Pepper's sculptor called Persephone Unbound. When I first saw this uncool sculptor, I honestly thought it was worst looking sculptor at that park. At first, I thought it was a stump of a tree that had a rough time growing in Seattle. I was wrong, it was a famous sculptor done by this lady named Beverly Pepper. I got the weirdest feeling that she didn't even like this sculptor. I say that because this sculptor of hers doesn't seem to exist on her own website. I reason why I don't like this sculptor is because it just doesn't make sense, nor look like a piece of art. It simply looks like the tree that wont grow in my backyard. Why even bother creating a sculptor that looks like a dead tree when mother nature could do it on it's self. I am really dumb founded on how uncool this sculptor is, that's if you couldn't already tell. I did a little research on other sculptors that were done by her and I really enjoyed them. The other sculptors done by her actually looked like great masterpieces, just this one didn't. She has some awesome looking sculptors over at the First Interstate Center that woud be interesting to go look at.

Don't get me wrong, she is amazing artist, and very talented at her work. I am just not very fond of her sculptor that is at the sculptor yard. At this point, I don't think I will ever have the heart to like that sculptor of hers. After doing a little research about on it I still don't, although, I am a fan of her other types of work. I really wish that they had a better sculptor done by her at that yard. At least I can head over to the First Interstate Center and go check out her sculptors called The Moline Markers. That should at least be interesting to look at.

Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation
I believe that the Mastercard slogan is a false dilemma. the slogan says-"There are some things money can't buy. For everything else there's Mastercard" The line states that Mastercard exist for everything that can be bought.

http://cruelmistress.wordpress.com/2009/11/08/look-whos-not-coming-to-dinner/ http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20427311.600-how-green-is-your-pet.html I think this article is a slippery slope. ..

Midterm Assignment 3: Always Wanted To Progress Report
My project is coming along just fine. I am right on schedule. I think I may even be like a week ahead of the game. Everything thing has been going great with my project. I am about half way done with my skate video. And now for the bad news. I recently switched from a PC to a Mac so a bunch of my video clips are in low quality, due to converting from Windows file to a Quicktime file. Some of audio on my clips didn't quite match up for some odd reason. So there are going to be some clips with out any audio, but who cares, it's just a skate video. Some more bad news. Three of my tapes got ruined while I was trying to upload them to my computer. So, I am guessing that I lost about a minuet of footage. I am just going to have to deal with the footage that I got.

Final Presentation

 * Topic (10%)

< >

 * Research (20%)

<>

 * 1) Internet site:"Danny Way Bio." Danny Way Bio. Danny Way. Web. .
 * 2) Book:
 * 3) Scholarly Journal:Transworld skateboarding. Blair Alley, 21 Oct. 2009. Web. 21 Nov. 2009. .

 * 4) Other (interview, TV show,etc):Youtube. Web. .

 * Your accomplishment (20%)

<> I accomplished my goal, believe it or not. My goal was to put together a skate video of myself with footage that I've been keeping track of since 2004-05. I had about 9 hours of tape that I haven't look at for awhile, so I thought it was about time to do so. The hardest part of my goal probably was the editing. Just because I didn't know were to put some of the clips in the time line at times, a lot of my clips were sync to the music, and I just wanted everything to run smoothly. Everything all came out great, just took longer then I thought it was going to. And I wanted to do this for a long time, and I am glad I got to do it.

 * Project Review (50%)
 * 1)What went well-I thought the process of going though all of my footage went quite well. At some points in the editing stage things went pretty smooth. meaning I didn't have to adjust anything to make the clips work in the time line. which was a big relieve.
 * 2)What went poorly-two things. first, two of my taps got screwed up while I was going through them. which is a bummer because I don't know what I lost, and I probably wont ever know. I figure I probably lost about a good minute of skate footage. So I had to work with what I got. Second thing, is that there is a bunch of old clips that I forgot to transfer from my PC to MAC down in Oregon. There was probably a minute as well lost there too. All this probably happen for a reason, because I probably would have gotten sick of editing myself for six whole minutes, and I am sure that whole class would get bored watching me skate for that long.
 * 3)Future strategies-my strategies for next time is to keep all of my tapes in a box so they wouldn't get damage. And to keep every single clip of me skating on a extra hard drive or something...

Self-Assessment
Thought this class was awesome. I also a great time in this class. It is probably the best class so far while attending the AIS. I've learned a lot of cool things that a typical college student wouldn't have learned. Hands down, best teacher at this school. Everything went well, nothing went wrong. I got to meet some great people though this class. I feel like I am prepared for my further studies at this school. I thought every project I did in this class was totally awesome. Every project had its own little twist of fun to it. Like my goal for the quarter was a very fun project. I can't believe I got a grade for what I like doing. I think the only thing I contributed to the experiences of the students was that I presented them some interesting things thought out the projects I did. I thought this class was a great experiences for a frist time college student. I always thought college was going boring, but this class was nothing like that. Even the other classes I have at this school is fun. Who knows, maybe it depends what kind of college you go to. Overall, I had a awesome time in this class, it was very rad.

Personal Essay
Topic: Rising Education Costs:

A successful career. That’s what we strive for with all of the years of education we undertake. Twenty or thirty years ago you could get a well-paying job without having a college education. Now, especially with the economic recession, a bachelor’s degree is a must. With your high school diploma you can get a wonderful position at a fast food joint or a sales clerk position at a local department store. To work nearly anywhere nowadays, one must have the golden ticket, a bachelor’s degree. Even our President agrees with this. “Post-secondary education is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity in a 21st century business environment,” U.S. President Barack Obama said Tuesday (upi.com, p. 1)

Does that bachelor’s degree mean you’ll be happy in what you’re doing or that you’ll be working at your dream job. No. The bachelor’s degree is just the requirement for most positions not given to a teenager.

Of course, you could always join the military. But do you want to possibly risk your life so that you don’t have to pay for the education to get that coveted degree? (We are at war you know).

So off to college we go. Now going to college we have costs. Tuition, room and board (or rent), books, supplies, transportation, food, etc. All these costs add up to a lot. I initially went to the University of Washington and, with financial aid, the tuition was reasonable (a couple of grand a year). Now I’m going to the Art Institute of Seattle and I’m paying (grimace) over $25,000 a year. This seems like a lot (it is), but I could be paying more attending a better known design school in New York, L.A., or abroad. (Higher cost of living and out of state tuition cost) And tuition costs are rising with the recession.

So why is the federal government giving us such little aid and why are tuition costs astronomical, unreasonable... (I could go on) when, in this country, most jobs require post-secondary education and a bachelor’s degree to attain the position? Most people are in debt when they graduate college, tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, and it takes them years to pay them off if they are even able to. I know that after I graduate from the Art Institute that I will probably be at least $50,000 in debt. Is it really a necessary evil?

Maybe we should look to Denmark. Denmark was rated the happiest country in the world by a global survey. We didn’t even rank in the top ten. Several factors were taken into account, education being a noted one.

“They have no student loans hanging over their heads. All education is free in Denmark, right on through university. And students can take as long as they like to complete their studies.

"And we get paid to go to school actually. Instead of in the U.S. you pay to go to school, we get paid to go to school if we pass our exams," a student explains. (Naphin, p.3)

This school structure is found not only in Denmark but also in other European countries as well as Cuba and Australia. If we wanted to base our educational system on one like Denmark’s, the percentage of taxes must be raised considerably. But Americans are cheap. We are materialistic. We want it all with giving very little and still we are unhappy. We whine about the taxes we are paying now and yet we also complain about high tuition costs and other important things (healthcare: cough, cough). So what are we willing to give up and what do we want to gain? What’s more important: material wealth or happiness?

I view school as duty. An institution I must attend so that I can have a higher quality of life. Material wealth and happiness (hopefully). I’d like to get paid for it; wouldn’t you?

President Obama is trying to reform our education system and yet there are still critics. How can we improve education if the environment is hostile? And obviously changes need to be made because it is evident that test scores are worsening, children are not being educated and our citizens are not becoming happy, productive, and successful adults. Helping to educate our children helps the economy, because children are our future and knowledge is power.

Self Assessment
I learned things that I didn’t expect to in this class. I thought that analytical writing would be a writing-intensive class, but I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of writing and the emphasis of flowing ideas and the different topics discussed in class. I learned a lot from watching the videos; things such as what happens in the product life cycle and the waste that is created, the rap persona and personal beliefs about women and what makes a man, and the consequences of PVC.

I thought that my writing was concise and interesting (I am not one for the multiple-paged essay). I think that I could have perhaps contributed more.

I feel that I will think more consciously about certain things. All of the topics that were written in class, added insight and new information about topics that I was not that well-versed on. I especially learned much about my topic, plastic, and its effects on the environment.

I believe that I helped with improvements, grammatical or otherwise.

I think that although this was a group project, we didn’t really get together as much as we could have and I think our essay will reflect that. I think my portion of the essay would have felt more integrated had we been able to meet, (reasons include: due to lack of time, schedule coordination, too much work) but I am happy with the work I produced.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
The piece titled “Untitled” by Roy McMakin was one of the pieces that I liked the least at the Sculpture Park last week. The whole piece consists of a lawn chair, a bench, and a filing box, all of which are made out of something that is different from what it looks like. All of these components annoyed me, but the one that I disliked the most was the filing box. It is a metal box that is made to look like it is cardboard, which was the joke that the artist the artist was trying to get across to his audience. I didn’t think that it was funny, and I felt like it was a waste of time and money to have it installed in the park. When I looked online to find other works by him, I found a lot of really interesting wood pieces, and displays of furniture and color that I found myself really liking. This made me view him as an artist completely differently. The few pieces that caught my eye were rooms where a paint color was designated to a certain area, and everything within that area was painted that color. Even if only a few inches of a dresser hung over, those inches were painted whatever color the rest of the area was. Although this made me appreciate him as an artist for his ideas and craftsmanship, it still didn’t excuse the filing box for me.

So far I haven't really been following my schedule to a T, but I have been working on bits and pieces of the project. I found out that the Seattle Public Library has a whole section dedicated to only the city of Seattle so that has been a really helpful resource. I haven't cooked any of my dishes yet because I want to save them up for a mini cooking marathon- which I love to do. I have been visiting the market quite frequently though and learning about what different shops are there and who owns them. I'm excited to keep going!

Self-Assessment
What did I learn in this class? When I think about how to answer this question, the Wallflowers quote “I ain’t changed, but I know I ain’t the same” comes to mind. I feel like we talked about thought processes and concepts rather than hard facts, but in ways that I hadn’t really considered before. I don’t really think that I learned anything that was brand new to me or facts that I had to study in order to memorize properly, I just feel that I learned more about people and the way that they are. I loved this class because it didn’t really have a point, and that was the point. This class gave me the most freedom I have ever had in school. From being basically forced to cross something off on my bucket list to watching a movie about hip hop, nothing really had a course of action or ultimate goal- and I mean that in the highest form of a complement possible. This class was also probably the only class I have ever been in where the saying “there is no wrong answer” was the truth and almost a rule of the class. Every week I looked forward to it wondering what we would be talking about and what people would feel comfortable with sharing that day. I guess in the end, this class reminded me that life is what you make it and to do what you want to do, just to do it. Thanks for an awesome first quarter of college.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
My first impressions of all of the statues in the Seattle Olympic Park were around the area of “Okay, that’s a bit weird looking”. None of them were really in my favor, but the one that hit me the strongest with dislike was the “Typewriter Eraser” by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. I felt like it was the most ridiculous sculpture I had seen and I didn’t understand why someone would want to create a statue of an object that is so boring, ugly, and obsolete. When I went home, I did some research on the two artists. I found that they together, pretty much just look around the room and decide “Let’s make that one into art”. As they look around the room, they sketch out ideas of an item to see if it would work, or how it would look. To me, it doesn’t seem like that would take an artist to create.

To this day, I still have not changed my mind on the piece “Typewriter Eraser”, and I still find it very boring and distasteful. The two artists just re size objects that are out in the world, and place them around parks. As I sit here, wondering if I’ll ever become a worthy artist, sometimes I get a little down, but as I view the “Typewriter Eraser”, my spirits rise. I guess it doesn’t take imagination to make yourself big. Maybe I will have to take more trips to the park to understand.

Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation

Midterm Assignment 3: Always Wanted To Progress Report (100 words or so)
Currently, where I stand on my Always Wanted To project, I am behind. On the game Demon's Souls, I am only at level 30, which my goal is to reach level 40 by the end of week 8. I hope that during Thanksgiving break, I will be able to catch up, and reach my level goal. I still have to do some research, and put together my project for my final presentation. Hopefully by week 9, I will have it all put together. My other class's homework gets in the way of me being able to play Demon's Souls.

Final Presentation

 * Topic (10%)

My goal was to reach level 40 on the PS3 game, Demon's Souls.

 * Research (20%)

(Demon's Souls Review)

(Ghosts and Goblins Gameplay)

(Paperboy gameplay)

(Battletoads gameplay)

I researched some history on the first video games and on some of the popular world wide known companies like Nintendo, and what the hardest games of all time are. Top 3 hardest video games; #3 Ghosts and Goblins for the NES, #2 Paperboy for the NES, #1 Battletoads for the NES.

3. Ghosts and Goblins is a game where you play as a knight that is equipped with armor and a sword. If you get hit, your armor flies off, leaving you to a one hit kill. You have to keep an eye out for enemies in all directions, as zombies spawn up from the ground and birds fly around. You have to make it through 4 long stages, fighting an uncountable amount of enemies. When you reach the door to the final boss, if you have not picked up the special shield item, you get sent back to the beginning of stage 4. As you get to the final boss again, and fight and defeat him, it turns out that it was a trap. You are then sent back to stage 1 to go through and beat the game a second time to actually save your girlfriend who was captured at the start.

2. Paperboy is a game where you are playing as a paperboy on a bicycle, trying to deliver customers newspapers over a course of a week as you try to avoid hazardous obstacles and vandalize non subscribers.

1. Battletoads is a game that was developed to rival Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You play as a toad, either Zitz or Rash, trying to save your friend Pimple and the princess from the Dark Queen. The game is easier to play through on single player mode, since friendly fire exists. Each level is harder than the last, and the controls make it hard to progress as well.

Nintendo has been a company since 1889 and originally manufactured Hanafuda cards. Nintendo started to lose money around 1976 when their card sales dropped. Miyamoto then created Donkey Kong, which saved Nintendo from bankruptcy.

 * Your accomplishment (20%)

I went to the first stage, fought my way through the easy monsters, and killed the red eyed knight dozens of times. Though he is hard, sometimes I'd die instead of killing him.

 * Project Review (50%)
 * 1)What went well - Because of the fact that I was just grinding levels instead of playing through stages to get farther into the game, it will be easier for me to actually get through the stages than it was before.
 * 2)What went poorly - Since I have other classes and not a lot of time when I get home from school at night, I didn't have a lot of time to play video games, so it was hard to keep up with Demon's Souls.
 * 3)Future strategies - Maybe pick a different goal, that wasn't not dealing with playing a video game. Possibly something that I could accomplish from anywhere instead of just at home.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
I picked "Stinger" by Tony Smith. I just don't get how something like that could be art. After reading about the piece and the artist, I began to like his art. He didn't start making sculptures until he was 44! His art is different and "off the wall" I guess you could say. As I looked at more works by him I saw the beauty in it. I think one thing why I didn't like it was because it was made up of only shapes. I hate math so naturally I wanted to judge it with out finding out about it. I like more color and meaning that you can see. When I first saw the Stinger I called it the mother ship. It reminded me of one. I will always call it that. Its big and black. I'm thankful that I can change my mind and that I'm not stuck in that mind set that I can't control my own thoughts and feelings. I think if you give something a chance you will learn to like it in the long run.

Midterm Assignment 3: Always Wanted To Progress Report (100 words or so)
So far so good. Its a little harder then you think. Trying to get everything together and start was one of the hard parts of this project. Its mess once you start off but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Tested my skills out on a few shirts, but haven't decided on one picture to mass produce. I think by the end of the class I will have got the hang of it. It takes sometime to get the ink on the shirt and to let it dry. But that is what they made blow dryers for.

 * Your accomplishment (20%)

<> I think I reached my goal. There are still areas on with I need to improve, but all in all I feel very proud about what I have done. I will describe in class the process it takes to do a silk screen. Now that I have done silk screening with ink, I plan on buying other materials and using photo emulsion to make high quality images!!!!!!!!

 * Project Review (50%)
 * 1)What went well: The drying process was not as hard as I thought it would be. I used a blow dryer instead of letting it sit there and dry on it's own. That was the easy part. Once I got the hang of putting the glue on the fabric everything else fell together.
 * 2)What went poorly: I really didn't take enough time in doing this project. I waited to long to start it. I feel if I would have started it atleast by week 3 I would have had a better understanding of the process and produced more images.
 * 3)Future strategies: Start the project on time, work on it atleast 4 times a week, and enjoy what I'm doing instead of dreading it.

Self-Assessment
I've learned that I procrastinate way to much!! Instead of starting something when I'm told to, I put it off till the last possible second. I'm not sure what else there is to learn because I learn something new everyday of my life. I really didn't try that hard in this class. Even though i did well in the class, I'm not happy because I wasted alot of my time dreading to do the homework in this class. But I did enjoy it. I think this class has shown me alot about my self and now I will be better prepared to start a new quarter. I'm not sure if I contributed to the experiences of other students. I feel like some of the other students didn't really want to speak up in class and talk about stuff. In some of the topics that we talked about, I gave my two cents on the subject but I don't think it helped anyone.

Hello Former Student!

I'm writing to you because you took a class from me in the past few years at the Art Institute. As of Spring, 2010, I'll not be teaching further classes at AIS for the foreseeable future. (We're parting ways on good terms!) Until now, you've been able to reach my Wikiversity educational resources from my website, but I've decided to delete that link. You can still reach all of those materials here.

Personal Essay Comments
This is a good start, but could use more development. It paints the picture of the problem briefly, but I'm more interested in the story behind everything--that is, the personal story here and your thoughts on the matter. I'd like to see your friend's experiences expanded, maybe through an interview, and some specific ideas from you about what you think about the larger situation. Additionally, please cite the source if you use statistics (for instance, about teens being more likely to abuse prescription drugs than illegal drugs).
 * Best, Stevenarntson

Further Comments
Good additions to this. I'd like to see some development of the idea of a solution to these problems--what can be done by people to overcome, or avoid, such problems, so the essay can round itself out on a positive note. Beyond that, go through and proof carefully, making sure that "your" and "you're" are straightened out, and misspells like "fianlly" get corrected. Good work.
 * Best, Stevenarntson
