I think If I was more focus on my homework. And not everything else that was going on around me such a work, other homework, and health issues; I think my section of the paper would have been better. But I did try my very best to keep up on everything and to keep on top of things.

I think it was best when you made us go to the labs is when I actually felt like I got things done and things done with my group.

Self Assessment
In all honesty, I didn't really put a lot of effort into this project. Don't get me wrong, it was interesting, in its own way, but I felt it has nothing to do with writing analytically, and more to do with doing research on a particular topic. I'm not all that great when it comes to researching. Like someone else in class said, I can take whatever data I'm given and hammer out a paper pretty quickly. But I have a hard time actually doing the research necessary. Analytical writing is not about doing research, it's about taking a topic and really thinking about it and breaking it down. I think it's more fun to write analytically than to do research.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I didn't learn anything from this class, except the class's opinions on the topics that we explored this quarter. I hope that your next class does more analytical writing, rather than research. I think that it will make the class more interesting and fun. I know if the class had been focused in that direction, I might have not almost fallen asleep in class on several occasions like I did this quarter.

Hey!

I'm 24 years old and a new teacher. I like reading and being critical of the Education systems in Canada.

I'm doing my Masters in Education... but I don't really know where I am going next... the more I study the institution, the more I don't like it. Standardized tests, behaviour management, English only values, schools as prisons.... Do I really want to be a part of it? Where is the best place for me to be? I guess wikiversity for now!

Always Wanted To Schedule

 * Topic I have always wanted to make, star and produce my own Karaoke video.

 * Research Component- I will be learning the skills to film and edit a movie with the imovie program on my Mac.

 * week 1- Begin going to a Karaoke Hot-spot. Start watching the videos for ideas on location, theme, costumes, lighting and any other nutty-ness that may need to be included. Try out a few songs to see what I might like to sing. (Think about taking voice lessons for the next 8 weeks). Start basic filming. Start working with imovie and playing with how to import, cut and edit.

 * week 2- Continue to appear at Karaoke Hot-spot for more practice. Choose song after this night. Find music for song and import it into imovie. Begin filming small scenes. Speak with friends and or strangers to see if they would mind being in my (bound to be an international hit) video.

 * week 3- Practice the song some more at the local Karaoke Hot-spot. Ask host if I can film it twice next week. (Should they say NO! look for way to blackmail them). Type out the words to the song and add them into imovie. Film anything that could go into movie. Start choreography for the big dance scene.

 * week 4- Set dance scene and film. Don't forget to show up at the Hot spot for local Karaoke. (I am starting to enjoy this a little too much I would imagine). Record song and import the track to imovie. Begin edits of behind the scenes footage. (Duel set DVD to be released at the end of production).

 * week 5- Re-shoot dance scene (someone was off). Add in some sort of flight motif. Being work on the Love Story scene. Find someone who might be willing to make out with me on film. (Put copy of this footage in safe for future blackmail needs). Shit! I almost forgot to go the Hot spot for local Karaoke. Try and find a second Hot spot just in case. (Settle for a Warm-spot if unable to find one).

 * week 6- Start presentational skills workshop. Type up how to use imovie skills list. Buy microwave popcorn for release date. Find a red carpet. Make tickets. Hit up the Hot spots or Warm-spot and sing my heart out. Finish behind the scenes footage. Viewing of rough-cut of video. (No press allowed, it may be leaked). Hire bodyguard. Look for agent.

 * week 7- Blackmail person who made out with me to spot for the after party. Touch-ups on video. Second presentational skills workshop. Buy huge (like the size of Oprah) sunglasses. Return to the Hot spot for local Karaoke for the last time. (This has really hurt my social/dating life) See if person who made out with me will go out to dinner.

 * week 8- ZOMG! I am about to be the next "One Man Boy Band". Quick think of a Stage name. See stylist for red carpet outfit. Write acceptance speech. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
For over a year now, I have hated a piece of art housed on a hillside in The Olympic Sculpture Park. Like a teenager with blue hair and an eyebrow piercing screaming, "look at me I’m cool, I’m original", the Typewriter Eraser, Scale X (by artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen) sticks out like a sore thumb in a crowd of otherwise benign pieces. This sculpture has an almost comic book quality, and adolescent in nature, instead of inspiration is leaves me wanting an explaintation for its inclusion in the park. Even the size of the piece is obnoxious, I don't understand the reason behind displaying something so ugly and in such a grand scale. I don’t think I’m alone in saying that if we have to see public art on a daily basis it would be nice to see something that doesn’t look like it should be popping zits on its way to high school. I think that we, Seattle, could do a better job in choosing our public art. The least we could do is choose something that people would recognize. Until today I had no idea what it was, I've never heard of a Typewriter Eraser; I thought it was a big wheel with blue hair.

The artists, Oldenburg and Van Bruggen, have been partners in art and in life. The husband and wife team were best known for their sculptures and drawings that disrupted our expectations of how ordinary objects should look and behave. Although the monumental size of these sculptures (ranging from musical instruments-to badminton shuttlecocks-to garden tools) help bring these objects out of context, I still ask myself, WHY? What I found out was that Claes enjoyed playing with his father’s typewriter eraser as a child and these memories have obviously stayed with him over the decades, finding root within his work. The typewriter eraser in the park is one of three sculptures of Typewriter Erasers that Claes and Coosje created. I also discovered that the pair really tried to incorporate some idea/understanding of the local area. Here in Seattle they choose the typewriter eraser due to the fact typewriters were wildly popular throughout the bulk of the 20th century. When the word-processing units on PC’s replaced the typewriter in the early 80’s (the boom hit here more so than anywhere else) the people who spent a significant amount of time working with a typewriter began to have an easier way of correcting their mistakes. Claes and Coosje felt the piece would hold a lot of humor for such individuals. The work becomes a monument to the era of before modern computers. I personally don’t see humor in a typewriter eraser, but then I don’t type and I have never used a typewriter. I'm a child of the Information Age.

Another pair of artists who share a love for large-scale replications of standard objects are Christo and Jeanne-Claude. One of their more popular works is a group of sculptures called "The Umbrellas". Housed in both Japan and Southern California the installation held hundreds of yellow (California) and blue (Japan) umbrellas scattered up and down the countryside. Rolling in hills and into lakes. While this work is very similar to that of Oldenburg and Van Bruggen, the use of this object speaks more to me. Why, I am unsure, I think it’s due to the use of the object in masses. Oldenburg and Van Bruggen’s work seems to have a forced humor and spontaneity to it, where as, Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s work falls into the ironic and witty.

Overall, I did find a small appreciation of this work. I did find I liked several other sculptures by the husband and wife team, but I don’t feel as if I changed the way I look at this piece. I just don’t like it. Personally I like to look at art that provokes thought, this piece leaves me confused and frustrated. Drewelliott

Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation
Paris Hilton in Carl's Jr. ad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gby0zfCYiA

A fallacy was committed on purpose, during the time when Paris Hilton was popular for her catch phrase "That's Hot" Carl's Jr. used the popularity of her catch phrase to promote their new Spicy BBQ Burger. This ad had little to do with the burger and more to do with selling sex. I feel that this ad falls under the DUBIOUS AUTHORITY: a figure of undeclared or unrelated expertise makes claims about something. Just because Paris deemed herself to be hot does not mean she is the guru of fast food. This ads almost implies that by eating fast food you will be "Just as Hot" as Paris herself: You too can wash a car with your body (and in the frames that the burger appears) never drop a drop of that oh so hot BBQness. Shortly after this ad aired it was removed from stations across the nation. Why? you ask. Well, after too many young girls and bored housewives tried to emulate the ad and were arrested for indecent exposure, the local police precincts picketed the local fast food chains and the ad was pulled. Thanks to ads like this, 50% of America is over weight and the obesity rate is about 30%, not really the type of women you want to see rolling around on a car in a swimsuit. I have a feeling they would forget about the swimsuit and car completely and head straight to the nearest fast food chain for a burger of their very own.Drewelliott

Welch's, the trusted name associated with Grape Juice, released an article on their website showing how grape juice and red wine act in similar ways in their effects on maintaining heart health. Studies have suggested that moderate red wine consumption is beneficial to cardiovascular health. Welch's claims that their grape juice has the same effects. Grapes contain resveratrol a phytoalexin that protect the fruit against disease, and these antioxidants may do the same thing for your body. A French study shows grape juice has a heart-healthy effect much like the grapes used to make red wine. Certain grape juice is shown to stimulate nitric oxide production, which relaxes arteries and is associated with healthy blood pressure. This ad for Welch’s Grape Juice has committed a fallacy quite by accident. The ad actually encouraging people to LICK their new advertisement in People magazine. The ad states that if you peel up and remove the sticker you'll learn about the healthy facts that grape juice can provide. The front of the advertisement shows a huge bottle of the juice, while the back has a strip that peels up and off, with text that reads: "For a TASTY fact, remove & LICK." (via Wall Street Journal.) Apparently if the sticker has been lifted - then someone else has already run their tongue over the page. Scented ads are one thing - but saliva on magazines is another thing altogether. What the ad fails to mention is that certain grapes contain these heart healthy qualities and others don't. Do Concord grapes? After all, this is what Welch's grape juice is made from. Raisins are a form of a grape, do they do the same thing? The company inaccurately states that all grapes help in maintaining a healthy heart. This falls under the OVERSIMPLIFICATION:or when someone makes a simple solution for a complex problem.

Freshman Seminar [edit]

Bio
http://www.myspace.com/themostafa

Always Wanted To Schedule

 * Topic I have always wanted to learn how to play the guitar. When I was younger I started playing and learned how to play a couple of songs, but I lost interest, and now anytime I pick up a guitar and try to play I can't even come close. By the end of the Quarter I would like to know how to play "No Woman No Cry" By Bob Marley, and "Zombie" By The Cranberries.

 * Research Component I will research the history of the guitar, Including when the first guitar was introduced and who played it, What instrument inspired the creation of the guitar, and who played the first electric guitar. I will also include a short list containing a few of the legendary guitar players throughout history, and what contribution they had that pioneered the way the guitar is played today.

 * week 1 I will start guitar lessons with a friend of mine who plays and start learning a few basic cords.

 * week 2 Continue guitar lessons with my friend and try to learn a few basic riffs.

 * week 3 Start learning how to play "No Woman No Cry" by Bob Marley.

 * week 4 Continue with learning how to play "No Woman No Cry"

 * week 5 If I have been able to succesfully play "No Woman No Cry" Move on to "Zombie" by The Cranberries.

 * week 6 Continue to learn how to play "Zombie"

 * week 7 Begin research on the guitar, and continue to brush up on the two songs will have hopefully learned.

 * week 8 Continue research and If there is time, possibly learn another song.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
The piece I chose that I didn't really like was "Wandering Rocks" by Tony Smith. I looked up information on Tony Smith and checked out a few of his other pieces such as "Fourth Sign", "Free Ride" and "Light up". I did not really like any of his art. I did like some of the art from his influences, mainly Clyfford Still. Tony Smith was a minimalist sculptor. He started out as an architect working for Frank Lloyd Wright and he also did some painting as a part time art student. He did not begin sculpting until he was 44. He also taught at various institutions such as New York University, Pratt Institute, and Bennington College. He was asked to anchor the seminal 1966 show at the Jewish museum in New York entitled, "Primary Structures." A major retrospective, "Tony Smith: Architect, Painter, Sculptor," was held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1998.He was the father of artists Chiara "Kiki" Smith and Seton Smith. As well as the underground actress Bebe Smith.Tony Smith died in 1980 at the age of 68. The Estate of Tony Smith is represented by the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York. Though I have tried to change my mind about the piece and make myself like it, I can't. I did not really like any of his Art and looking at his background did not change my point of view. Though I know there are probably good number of people out there that appreciate his work, I think it is simply a matter of opinion and perception, as well as taste. It's just not my kind of thing because it is too simplistic for me to appreciate the time spent on it.

Self-Assessment
I think I did alright this quarter. I learned not to depend too much on other people though because I was late and absent a lot due to my ride not showing up, and I was depending on him to help me learn guitar for my presentation but he was kind of flakey about it so I probably could've got a lot further on it if I wasn't depending on somebody else so much. But overall I know I did everything I could so I did my best. At least I can say that.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
I choose to do my assignment on the sculpture “Persphone Unbound” by Beverly Pepper. When I saw that in Sculpture Park, I think that was too simple, everybody can do that. It is just only a piece of bronze, which has been showed in the park. I am curious about the artist, which is Beverly Pepper. After I took a little tour in the Sculpture Park, I went home and start researching about Beverly Pepper. I saw a lot of her work in her website and it is “Wow”. She has a lot of art, which has been showed in the world. I just find out that she was born in New York, 1922. After all research that I did, I feel little curious about art like that, because I like a simple fine art and sometimes fine art can brings ideas to help my study in Animation.

Self Assessments
During my general education class, I get many new things, which is coordinating my schedule for final presentation and my research. First time I very nervous in that class because it was my first time in Art Institute. Because of your teaching method, I could be friendly with other friends and sometimes I feel enjoy in the class. I felt comfortable with other students. When the time for presentation has come, I felt very nervous, but of this class teach me how to presentation, I did not feel nervous anymore. Because of that, I felt encourage to do any presentation. For this class, I need to be more prepared for everything, because usually, I do it more prepared and detail.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
Among all of the art and figures at the art museum were many that I really loved, and even adored. From the Eagle to Wake, by Alexander Calder and Richard Serra, the pieces there are astonishing and inspiring. But there were a few that sort of slumped me and made me really think about the piece. It was the Wandering Rocks by Tony Smith and Curve XXIV by Ellsworth Kelly. One main reason these two seemed to me as different or in a sense weak was because I didn’t see or get the idea that it is imposing. When I looked at them, I tried to picture what the artist was thinking or what could have been a different outcome to it. I would just draw a blank and that just lead me to dislike these pieces.

With the Wandering Rocks by Tony Smith, I researched a bit and he seemed as if to try and imitate the famous Zen rock garden in Japan. It is a five geometric form of painted steel through quaking aspens. After searching for more and more details about the piece, I never saw the exact purpose in which he created it to be. The only thing that came to my mind is that, like he said, he wanted to create a piece that wasn’t too predictable and boring. Well I think he accomplished that, but from my perspective there wasn’t really any other reason for it.

The Curve XXIV by Ellsworth Kelly was somehow a little different. I never seemed to understand why this piece stood out to me; perhaps it could be the odd form in which it was crafted. Usually I would expect a tall abstract piece seated on a hill, but this was on a wall. After doing research I found out that art of this figure was not only in its form or texture but also in its shadow that it gave off. Apparently, not that I saw, there are two different types of shadows the piece gives. One from the form and another from the color of the clouds, which I found really interesting and made me think about it more and more.

So after doing this research I began to admire one and despise another, despite the fact of doing the research and trying to like the piece. The one I loved was the Curve XXIV by Ellsworth Kelly because of its form of art; it is not only in the texture of the piece but it was deeper than that. When art because something deeper than apiece in itself but uses it as a tool, I begin to admire and adore it. I admit it is a keeper for me when I find this in a piece of art. The one I still despised was The Wandering Rocks by Tony Smith because it just seemed like it was apiece created entirely on a fact, to be different than the rest. I find it foolish in my eyes and in my small perspective on art thus far. Who knows maybe a year from now I will understand a greater meaning for the piece, but for now I will put a IOU note on it.

Hello, my name is Kristine Mileson and I am attending the Art Institute to obtain a BS in Fashion Marketing. If you want to shorten my name up, you can call me Kristi or Kris...or hell, you can even call me Mileson; I've heard them all before. I am a Pisces, have a love for sushi and wine, and have a list of animals I want as pets someday(and they already have detailed names). Last year I was in the Publishing Arts program at Seattle Central and although I learned a lot of insightful information, I also learned that it wasn't the right avenue for me. Fashion has always been a passion of mine so after some research, I chose to come here and live out my dream. I have lived in Seattle since September 2008 so I am still a newbie and I have more to learn about this fabulous Emerald City. Right now in my life, I like to consider myself a sponge because I am soaking as much as I can in!!

Always Wanted To Schedule

The work that I chose at the sculpture park was Roy McMakin, untitled. It was the art piece that had a concrete bench, a filing folder (or printer paper) box and plastic chair all sitting around one another, kind of like anyone could sit on them and have a conversation with each other. The reason I chose this art to hate was because I didn't understand why ordinary things could be called pieces of "art" just because they were set in cast iron and set in a park where other people could look and think "wow". I thought that this scenario was pretty stupid and thought that anyone could do what Roy McMakin did. Not only that, but I thought that the whole idea of putting ordinary objects in a park was a poor job of expressing one's artistic self. The whole piece made no sense. What was the artist thinking? Why did he think this was art? So, after I kept thinking about how stupid this art was, I wanted to research.

After researching Roy McMakin and his works of art, a lot of sense came to his piece in the sculpture park. A lot of his artworks were of ordinary things; simple objects that are seen in everyday life. The way that he portrayed art was to put common pieces together but alter the point of view through visualization. He put the everyday items in a different view that made me think, maybe there is something to this guy. He makes a playful, yet subtle twist on how things are perceived with the human eye, and mind. Also, he is very humorous with his designs because a lot of his pieces look like just plain items but yet he turns them into art and creates different stories behind them. He takes the simple things that objects can do and transitions them into artwork, and that's art in itself. After looking at Roy McMakin more in depth, I can appreciate his ironic sense of style. I especially like the piece that he did that was a small table with a vase with huge black tulips on it. First of all, who sees over sized black tulips on a coffee table? Roy McMakin's art makes me chuckle now and I can appreciate it.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
Aug. 5th. 2009 The piece I found at Olympic Sculpture Park that really got on the nerves was the Bunyon’s Chess by Mark di Suvero. I hate this piece because I think it looks like he was just playing with huge Lincoln Logs. Even his other piece at the park, Schubert Sonata, I hated. My mission is to research him as an artist and see if my opinion changes in next week C:

Aug 9th 2009 I have researched Suvero a lot more. I still do not like the sculpture that is in the Olympic Sculpture Park though, or any of his other sculptures for that matter. I think they are more of architecture rather than an art piece. I do not like the fact that he comes up with the basic idea and gives other people orders to put it together. I did like the way he came about making his sculptures. He was injured while doing construction. While in rehabilitation he learned to use a arc welder. I found out somethings that did change my opinion of him as an Artist though. I found a piece that I really liked called the "Peace Tower". He has very strong political message. Many of them against Bush, which I loved. I've noticed that he's piece are place in all kinds of place in the world. Mostly in the United States though. My opinion of his sculptures I doubt will change, but my opinion of him as an Artist has. I saw him as an untalented "Artist" when I first came across Bunyon's Chess but after looking at paints and other pieces I now see him as more of an Artist than I did before.

Self-Assessment
During my three months of this General Education class I believe that I did not take out as much out of it as others may have. I feel like the class was teaching people to think “critically”. I already know how to think “critically”. I am all about having my own option and questioning EVERYTHING! Life is not worth it if you believe what everyone tells you. Thinking critically is what gives you personality and makes you who you are. What would the world be like if everyone had the same opinion? I believe the world would be a boring and uninteresting place. I sure there are many first quarter college students who do not have this capability. This to me, is some what depressing. I was always pushed by my family to have my own opinion and express it. I began being taught to think critically in elementary school. Many of my fellow students are either straight out of high school or their parents are paying for them to go to college. In a few of my Previous high school course, opinions seemed to discouraged. Since many of my peers are fresh out of college they my not even be sure what an opinion is. I love having my own opinion being know, that is something this class really oferred. I loved the projects we did as well. I actually enjoyed the sculpture park assignment more than the final project. Overall though I truly enjoyed the class. This class was the only class I did not ditch all quarter. I think this is pretty hilarious considering that this class was my only AM class. Every Tuesday night before class I usually ended up not going to bed until like 2:30 or 3:00 AM. I felt like I had more of an option to chose what I wanted to learn. I really like having the classroom decisions. I like feeling like I can put my own opinion out there. I feel like I took more out of it than some of the students.

Always Wanted To Schedule

 * Topic: Knitting a scarf!

 * Research Component: I will be researching the history of knitting, which I am sure is hard to guess.. along with the different types of stitching

 * week 1: I will buy a book, or find somebody who is willing to teach me the basics of knitting. Also, I will research the history of knitting (exciting, right?)

 * week 2: Begin practicing different stitches, and if all goes well, possibly start my final scarf

 * week 3: Knitting while still researching

 * week 4: Knitting, and possibly still doing some research

 * week 5: Knitting.. still..

 * week 6: Knitting some more and preparing my slideshow

 * week 7: Finishing up my hopefully lovely and serviceable scarf

 * week 8: Completely finished!

I personally did not understand the sculpture, Curve XXIV, 1981 by Ellsworth Kelly to begin with. It did not appear to be art to me because it was such a simple piece, and it demonstrated no skill in my opinion. According to the Olympic Sculpture Park brochure, “Ellsworth Kelly arrives at his work through prolongs experience of observing nature and distilling his observations and sensations into simple lines.” I was unable to find myself able to comprehend how this was how he came to create a triangle. The work of Ellsworth Kelly is sold for thousands of dollars, and for some pieces, hundreds of thousands. After researching him and viewing other pieces of his work, I found myself a little more open minded. After seeing so many simple yet colorful pieces, I found a slight appreciation for this artist. It made me realize that art does not have to be complex and difficult to be easy on the eyes. While searching for more of his work to compare with others, I came across and despised Spectrum of Color Arranged by Chance. When I first viewed it, it looked like a piece of technology had detonated. And although I still don’t particularly enjoy it, I do appreciate it more as art, instead of colorful vomit, mostly because I gave it a second chance. I had an arduous time finding a painting or sculpture that I really loved. They all pretty look the same to me, although now I can enjoy seeing them rather than being disgusted that he made so much money off of two shapes on a canvas. I did grow to like the Curve XXIV, 1981 sculpture because of its simplicity, which ironically was why I disliked it to begin with.

Self-Assessment
In this class I relearned how to think out of the box and question things. I used to constantly think critically but it slowed down recently and I am glad that this class opened that up for me again. I feel I did well at identifying fallacies as well as contributing my opinions during they day we analyzed conspiracy theories. I could have done a better job researching my artists from the sculpture park and wholeheartedly looking into his past artwork while comparing and contrasting. I feel more prepared to continue my studies at this point because I have been reminded how to think critically and question what I hear. I don’t feel that I am more prepared for my major as much as for life in general. I contribute to the experiences of other students in class by sharing my opinion and thoughts about a topic or discussion. I can help activate the minds of others with friendly debates, or simply contributing to class myself by listening and sharing. I am very thankful the “I’ve always wanted to assignment” was assigned because I learned a lot about myself and how I handle situations. It was nice to reflect on the past ten weeks and see as well as feel an improvement in myself as a person, whether it is school related or personal.

reflective assessment
For this English class, I've learned that the Internet has lot's of potential for learning and working unlike other limiting ways. After taking this class I know now that I need to try to get the most out of the Internet. What I did well in this class was making sure the wiki format was correct and trying to reach out to my other group members via the discussion tap. What I could have done better was to make sure our group didn't change the research topic over and over so that we would have more and better content. I also feel prepared to continue my studies as long as I have food to eat and am healthy. Though I didn't really contribute to the experiences of other students in this class besides within my group. And even within my group it was more of solo work than group work, though I wish that was not the case since we would have gotten a better product if we worked together more. But over all this class was interesting and thought provoking.

Tibetan language/TISE (Tibetan Wylie Input Utility)

Tise (pronounced 'tee-say') is a Tibetan input utility for WinXP created by Gregory Mokhin. EWTS Transliteration is used for typing Tibetan. Tise intercepts user input and converts EWTS sequences into proper codes for Tibetan text to be displayed using a Unicode Opentype Tibetan font. Previous versions of Tise worked with 8-bit LTibetan font. Current version uses Unicode. Tise automatically adjusts itself to the user's preferred keyboard layout and is able to work with multiple layouts. Tise may work on Win2K (not tested). It will not work on any lower version of Windows. For older versions of Windows an excellent tibwin utility by Marvin Moser is available elsewhere for free. Tise is not based on tibwin and does not use any code from tibwin and/or other software. Tise is developed in line with the aims of THL tools project with the sole purpose to assist the preservation of Tibetan cultural heritage and to make using a computer easier for Himalayan peoples and scholars.

Source:

 * this is really only a tool for Windows XP, need to investigate comparable tools for other OS. If there are not appropriate tools for other OS we need to source instructions for dual boot or an XP inset environment or other fix so users who do not run Windows may employ the tool.

Good instructions for editing Tibetan on Linux (with the Gnome desktop) are found here: !

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

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
I found Bonyon Chess by Mark di Suvero to be one of the few piece that I did not like, as I stood looking at it. He found is imperrasion from Alexander Chalder, Who I also did not like his work. The longer I looked at the scuplter I still could not bring myself to like it, I will say that is has some good points about it, but I still dont like it. Mark di Surero other work was great and very lovly to look at but this piece just does not seem to fit in with the rest of his work. I thought it lookes like a Jungle gym gone wrong. I dont know how the builder could see the bold paint stroks in space be that blocky and angler. Maybe if the stroks were thiner and more of them it would look better. The wood beams were a good touch for the ememantel side of the sculpture and play on history, but the steal domanates the scuplture so it loses attraction. I find in a little depressing but i also found it to be inlightening about not being able to change something like that aprrenlty if you feel strongly about some or atleast a strong since of distasted for something it not going to change no matter how long or hard you think about something.

Midterm Research Project
As we discuss the term “public” this quarter, we will get into a variety of kinds of territory, and a wide variety of kinds of research will be enabled by our discussions. I would like your research to present the results of your own investigations—an offshoot, rather than an amplification, of things we’ve talked about in class.

For instance, if we discuss a particular artist in class, such as Damali Ayo, don’t pick her as your research project. We’ve already talked about her. Rather, do more research on other artists who are doing similar things. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

the law—what are the laws that restrict or enable free expression? federally? in Seattle? are there any individual cases that interest you? an artist—who is an artist who’s doing interesting work in the public sphere? how do they do their work? an interview—do you know an artist who does work in the public? Interview them and give a presentation about their work (I’ve also had students interview street performers at the Pike Street market). work—is there a particular work of public art you’re interested in? What is the story of that piece? (in class, for instance, we'll discuss a giant Monolith that was planted in Magnusen Park in 2001.)

Presentations - Your presentation will be short—5 or 6 minutes. Please use multimedia to the extent that you can (show a short film clip, or some images, or play a short recording to keep things interesting). Be prepared—know what you’re going to say, and how long it will take. If you start to run long, I’ll stop you.

final - Your final project in Humanities I will be a stepping out—you’ll move from the classroom into the public sphere and do something, which you’ll document and present.

We’ve talked about many aspects of public art this quarter, and looked at some artists who work legally, and some who go outside of the law. For this project, I am not requiring that you do anything illegal. There are a myriad of ways one can act in public without doing anything wrong according to the law. That said, some artists also protest the law because they see it as unjustly interfering with their freedom of expression and action as guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. Use your own compass, as you do in the rest of your life, to decide what to do. Following are a few (legal!) ideas:

Music Perform music somewhere in public where you will be seen. Be aware of the law in terms of decibel levels, amplification, and solicitation. Visual Art Put up some posters or stickers on telephone poles. In Seattle, posting on telephone poles was illegal for about 5 years, but the law prohibiting it was overthrown—these days, putting up posters or stickers on telephone poles is legal in Seattle. Performance Art Stage a performance piece in public--we’ve seen several examples of performance art this quarter that take place in public. Performances don’t need to be long or complicated. It could be as simple as asking a stranger to paint your portrait, or deciding to wear a pink shirt.

Presentations [edit]You must arrange to somehow document your project. This can be done with photos, recordings, or simply writing out the narrative of what happened. In one way or another, you will then present your project to the class—your ideas, why you decided to do what you did, how it worked out, unexpected things that happened, etc.

Presentations will be 5 to 10 minutes long, and should be entertaining as well as informative.

Self-Assessment
Self Assessment [edit]

A self assessment is a critique of yourself. Let it reflect your experience, and not your perception of anyone's expectations of you.

Possible questions [edit]

"What did I learn in this class, and what do I have left to learn?" "What did I do well in this class, and what could I have done better?" "How do I feel prepared, or unprepared, to continue my studies at this point?" "How did I contribute to the experiences of other students in this class?" You are also encouraged to consider any other questions relevant to your experiences. Responses should be at least 200 words, posted to your Wikiversity userspace.

My response

From this class i have learned the importance and beauty of art around us. i have also been able to appreciate the world around us because of this. my favorite thing i liked about this class was that it was so free and we could just simply surround ourselves with art from galleries or even just off the street. i feel more motivated to continue my studies in learning about such things i have listed above. i loved going outside with the class it allowed us to interact more together, stay awake, and gain actual experience. this was by far the best class i have ever had. i really liked the projects to it was fun to come up with something creative and also see some new ideas coming from other students. I have gained a new outlook on art. anything can be art in different ways of how it protays its story to the world. this class has made me think about the artist and i try to put myself in their shoes and ask myself what story am i telling here and why in such a way as this? In a way i have grown an even deeper understand of how beautiful the world is with everyday things around us that we may not even notice, that is just as much of art as a painted canvas.

Hello~ My name is Sang hoon Na, just call me "sang" I was born in 1984, Seoul(south korea) (25years old) This is my first quarter of IDT program in the Art institute of seattle and I am very excited.

Always Wanted To Schedule

 * Topic

Every time when my friends or relatives visit Seattle, I have no idea where I should take;guide them. Most of the times, I took them to Mt.Rainier or public market. Recently, I have discovered Seattle or Washington state has so many beautiful places to visit. Therefore, I decided to make guide line of Seattle area or Washington State for One Day travel to visit as many as possible. (Especially i will pick the place that what mostly Korean want to see^^)

 * Research Component

 * week 1 Decide route (South,North,West, and East) Estimate Driving Mile and Hours

 * week 2 Find out Special places on that route and researching about history or speciality

 * week 3 Keep researching

 * week 4 Ask friends, where they would like to go mostly by reviewing my list of the places to visit

 * week 5 Make trip as what I plan (take some pictures)

 * week 6 take out or add list. Describe More detail about trip (actual mileage & hours, coast, and make critical point of places)

 * week 7 take final trip with friend and ask his opinion (actual mileage & hours)

 * week 8 get ready for presentation

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
I want to talk about the "Curve XXIV" by "Ellsworth Kelly" in 1981. It is made by Cor-ten Steel.

When I first saw this sculpture I could tell it is a triangular. However, when I changed my point of view from left to right and right to left, the view of the sculpture was slowly getting bigger and bigger to my visual. Finally, when I reached to middle of this sculpture, the view of the sculpture does not seem equal. I took my time at middle of the sculpture and gaze it for minutes. When I viewed the sculpture from left side, it looks like the sculpture is weighted more on left side of the side. However, when passed the sculpture to see another art objects, I realized the sculpture was the last one on that wall. I then passed through the “Cure XXIV” from right side and it changed my mind. The “Curve XXIV” looks equal but more weighted on right side to me this time.

Ellsworth Kelly is the artist who made “Curve XXIV”. Ellsworth Kelly uses powerful color and shape to make only visual effect. Ellsworth Kelly’s art work would not Symbolize or analyze. He said “I’m not interested in the texture of a rock but in its shadow.” His work Noir et Rouge, 1958 Red, Yellow, Blue Spectrum IV Leo Castelli Gallery poster, 1977 The “Curve XXIV” is very simple but has powerful visual effects to me. I usually like the messy and fancy art. I always try to describe more complicated and detail on art. I believed a simple art can be made by everyone, but this “Curve XXIV” opened my eyes a little to think about minimalism art.

I discovered journalist who define minimalism art. Mean of be minimal: Can think more To understand and feelings of the artist Or can view through the art as I want to see

Right now, I can understand little more about minimalism art

Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation
is this commercial? or manipulation?

First one: "Bed is not furniture, it is technology" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsX4QHbN0M8 old one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuMfjPkxaIQ new one One of Elementary school teacher gave their students extra funny question on a test. They asked the children: "is a bed really a technology? or furniture?" 80% of children said "Technology". They really believed the bed is technology.

Korean Government was trying to stop the old commercial, because it confuses the kids understanding about "a bed" Second one: "Power of Legend", wild berry wine http://www.bohaebokbunja.co.kr/ It is a Commercial about the "wild berry wine" The ingredients of wild berry wine are: wild berry which is good for man. It makes strong like as shown in video. Only 15% of alcohol is included and it doesn't make men strong, rather it makes men drink more.

"Sample": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw0vTzF3CbI&feature=related beauty love pomegranate (Carthaginian apple) -all pretty woman drinks that juice- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVPUsr_w3eA&feature=channel website -priest Must knows everything- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K-fTnC7EP4&feature=channel McDonald conditioned reflex -sleeping woman woke up every time when she heard McDonald new menu- "Anti-fan pretends like fan" Sports Team, Movie Star, and Idol etc... Every star has Fan and anti-fan. Specially, most young girls are crazy about their "Idol group". In Korea, If somebody make fun of their Idol group, or don't recognize their "Idol group" or touches them, they are using Internet to spread a "bad rumor" and attempts to make "personal insult" of the stars. Some of the anti-fans found a different way to protect their Idols and insult rivals of other stars by joining their fan club. They pretend to be their fan to revenge or insult the stars. All the fans of the stars have a very strong sense of their rivalry. "Pretend like Fan" Join fan club to their target and spread bad rumors. For example: “the star ignores and mad at fans of taking picture” “He was hitting the manager” “I’m shame to be his fan”. Every single movement or words from the Star can be used against them by the fans making wrong rumors. Insult another star and make them hate each other. Even their real fan can't tell which one it is true or fault

Self-Assessment
After Self-Assignment… I felt I have been thought a lot through out this quarter because it was not like the other classes at all. At first, I thought the class was going to be easy and it was not. I made the assignment myself and solved my-self, too. It was challenge course to me. Figuring out by myself is not something that I am used to doing assignment from instructor’s idea since when I started the school. I had to change the subject few times because I was not sure what subject was right for Self-assignment project. When time goes by, finding a subject and finishing the assignment was a big pressure. I completed and did my presentation but was not great and I do not feel proud. I did not think my presentation was bad until I saw other classmates’ presentation and it made me so shame. They used their time so wisely, developed their skills, and done with something they want to spend time for. The self-assignment project gave me a time for checking myself back and it actually made me learn how to manage my time well. After all… At the beginning of the term, I wasn’t sure or clear what I was doing in class. However, after term ended and after looking back at the assignments that I completed, this course gave me a power of thinking. I learned how to look/think different ways to see something and made question of truth. Also, you taught me how to find the right information and how use/view them correctly.

Self-Assessment
So if I were to assess myself for this quarter in humanities I would have to say that I have grown in many aspects. The most obvious of which is the factual knowledge to such things as Art History and Graffiti artists names, such as CAP! Beyond that however, I feel I am better connected with art in general. I am not sure if it was your class specifically or if it was my collective expirences of this quarter. I feel my appriciation and intrest in art has sky rocketed. Most importantly the art I feel the most connected with is the seattle art outside my door. I get excited to see a new tag that I recongize and I get excited when I walk past a building and see that they are setting up a gallery inside. I love to pass out random tid bits of knowledge on sculptures around town like some sort of tour guide. So all in all I guess I would have to thank steve arntson for making be realize how awesome art it. -thanks steve! -Cole Van

Personal Essay
Well to start out I attend an art school that has less credibility than any university and in most cases I pay more money. Four hundred and fifty dollars per credit it at my school and three hundred and ten dollars for the University of Washington according to their websites. In writing this essay to do realize that I am writing this to a faculty member of the school I attend. Some may say I am treading on thin ice, but knowing you Steve I think you will not be offended by my content. In fact, I am worried more about the knowledge that I am unaware of that you may know. This essay is from my perspective of my situation.

I attend a “for profit” school. On the surface of that statement I feel that it states that I will be screwed in as many ways possible in order for my school to gain more income. It starts with over priced credits. We are expected to attend, what is called, General Education courses. These are basic classes such as math, English, and science. In some cases my instructors are not qualified to teach these courses. These courses cost more than their counter parts at a normal university, which would have professionals teaching the courses. A one hundred and forty dollar difference per credit according to my school compared with the University of Washington. Paying this much does come with perks though. I am free to pursue my ideas and do not have build up credits to declare a major. I have access to quality equipment and services. Although, very little of my credits will transfer to any other university, or even another school in the corporation. I think this is because the classes are inadequate. At the end of my schooling I am handed a nice degree. Very little employers will look at this degree because they are more interested in my portfolio. So for students who are unable to successfully pursue a higher standard for their portfolio and will rely on a degree, they will most likely not get employed. From the perspective in my program I see a lot of people who are slacking on their products and flying under the radar. They please the instructors but fail to make something good enough to get them hired. This is not in all cases but some. I have also over herd that the number employers showing up to the animation student’s portfolio is declining drastically. This may also be the case in other programs. The school I attend just is not outputting quality work so employers are not interested. They are constantly redesigning the coarse structure, and there are classes that I have taken that no longer exist. This means the education of the people who have joined later than me is different for mine. I some cases it seems their education was for in depth and more valuable and yet we paid the same amount. However, I am seeing in my program better coarse structure and better instruction than in the past. Along with over priced credits the school pins you down with parking. Being in the middle of a major city there are not free places to park. So with the city forcing drivers to pay the school is able to obligate students to also pay for parking. Students park in a public parking garage with absolutely no discount. On average it can cost fourteen dollars per school day. If you have the ability to leave class every hour, paying at the meter is cheaper. In another aspect it costs four dollars for a hotdog and three dollars for a banana. In a school with a culinary program they choose to sell cheap food way over priced. If you are ever unfortunate enough to walk past the north campus you will be struck with an immense odor. Recently I found out that that odor was food. Two giant trash bins filled with perfectly edible food from the culinary department just tossed away after class. Unfortunately, the school has to operate under health codes that student do not meet. I do think though, having professional chiefs in the school they have the ability to tell if something is safely editable. I would be nice to get a break from the mundane cafeteria and try some impressive culinary plates.

I did mention the perks of the equipment but in some cases the equipment is not up to par. There are computer programs, like Celtx, which cannot be on a school computer for reasons that I believe relate to endorsements. In reality though, it is highly helpful and one hundred percent free. We have different versions of the same software in the south campus apposed to the north campus. So you cannot freely carry a file between the campuses. There are computers in the labs that are outfitted with stock components. A good chunk of the student body are computer fanatics and could get the computer performing to their peaks. This how ever falls under another regulation. These regulations prevent the school from expanding within. On top of that the walls are bar, the lighting is stark, and the chairs make no sense. If they are not uncomfortable then the hydraulics in them are too high. Never have I felt comfort in this school.

How do we overcome these obstacles? Petitions I have found serve one purpose. They annoy the staff and give no course of action. The faculty, no offense, relies on this system to get paid so they have little desire to change it. This school is filled with smart creative people. We are training to move away from consumerism and create our own things. So why not start here? We should locate the cafeteria next to the culinary. Photography projects should literally liter every surface. There should constantly be murals created down hallways. The industrial design students should fix the damn chairs. There are more of us than them, and in some cases we are smarter. Most importantly, we have to study here. School should be your second home if not your first. We as students need to combine and make this a place worth going to, because who else will.

Self Assessment
I felt that is class was a great time to exercise my writing skills. Very little knowledge was gained as in writing technique but a lot was gained in my groups subject of advertising. So if the class was more targeted toward and independent study than I would say it was a success. The only improvement of writing came from the amount of writing I did this quarter. Even then that was only practice on skills I already had and very little new skills were picked up. However, I feel greatly confident in my ability to report, describe, research, and entertain on any subject. This confidence not entirely came from your class but this class did help a fare amount. The class aside from the curriculum was highly enjoyable. A class period is never without a dull conversation with Steve Arntson and I feel privileged to be in your company. I am aware that you like to run the class pretty loosely but a little more structure I think would benefit the course. Maybe having some in class assignments that are connected to the group project. My troubles this quarter came mostly from the group I was assigned. If there were time or assignment in class that helped the overall essay that might motivate some of the slacking kids to at least get something done. Thank you again, Steve, for expanding my awareness of this terrible world. I really appreciate it. ColeVan

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
The sculpture that I choose, that I didn't like, was the Wake by Richard Serra, 2004. The reason I did not like this piece when I came across it was because it was WAY to big, I kind of found it meaningless, I didn't see the point in creating something so big like that, and I dislike the color of it. But the more I looked at it the more I became fond of it, and I don't know why. When I look at it now for some reason I think of killer whales, probably because it reminds me of the waves in the ocean. When I read about it I didn't like how they described it, "He uses material and scale to alter perception and to engage the body, encouraging consciousness of our relation to space", I think it engages the body, encouraging consciousness of our relation to water, not space. I don't get where it would relate to space with the way the sculpture moves, but that's just me. I think once I got over the fact of the color and how big it was I loved it. If it were in tiny sculptures that I were able to keep at my place I would definetly have it as a decoration, but in black or in that color but spunged with a dark brown over it to give it a different look.

Assistant teacher course/Theory of education

Discussing publications
The participants should have had enough time to devise their own theories and perspectives by now. In this course phase the participants should discuss relevant passages from publications in the field of education. An example is the quote below from John Dewey's Democracy and Education. The quote should be discussed in relation to the previous course phase "Theory formation". More quotes can be found, for instance, in the teachers' handbook.

The recommended procedure is to form work groups who are given several passages each. The same passage can be handed out several times to different groups. For each quote the group should be given more context (e.g. whole chapters or collections of earlier passages that are relevant for understanding the passage). The groups should be given time to read and discuss the passages they have received and should lead the following discussion when their passages are presented.

Applying the understanding gained the groups should prepare to ask the relevant questions so others can make the relevant conclusions and not prepare a full (but potentially boring) explanation of what the passages aim to convey. The groups can also prepare incompatible perspectives (irrespective of their actual opinions) and challenge each other's perspectives in the discussion. The preparation can arrange for the opportunity of Socratic debate following a predetermined course.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
Richard Serra’s Wake When I came down the staircase on the north side of the Olympic Sculpture Park, I was immediately met by what I thought to be a giant curved wall. When my friends told me that this was one of the sculptures, I couldn’t believe it. How can a few pieces of warped steel wall be called a work of art? At first I thought this assignment would be an absolute waste of time. If there is one characteristic I would say describes me, it is stubborn. Once I am set in my ways it is a very rare occurrence that I will change my opinions. However, upon looking further into Richard Serra’s work, I began to feel a sense of respect. As an industrial design major, the use of different materials is a huge part of what I do. That being said, there is a certain awe factor to be had in just the simple engineering feet of creating a composition from up to 276 tons of solid steel. While I still would not say that I exactly like the sculpture, I definitely would say that I have a newfound respect for the work that went into the design and building of the piece. In addition, I have also found that I really do enjoy some of Serra’s other pieces such as The Matter of Time because they convey more of a sense of movement. Overall, what I have taken away from this project is a realization that all of the teachers over the years who told me that I should research some of the ideas that I shoot down, may have been right.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
The sculpture I found in the park was the Schubert Sonata, created in 1992 by the artist Mark di Suvero. He was born in China 1933, then moved to San Francisco, CA in 1941, Suvero Studied fine arts and collectively earned a degree in Philosophy, something every artist should dip a toe into. Anyway, Suvero’s sculpture was one of the first that I came across, and was ultimately the one that stuck in my head. What a saw when i looked up at the slowly rotating work was, at best, twisted metal. As if Suvero had taken a sheet of metal and bent it into shapes and called it his work of art. Also, as you said, the weather last friday was gloomy. So the light gray and white back drop added a sinister type of affect to it. After a second take it looked somewhat like a mix between an old WWII fighter plane and a modern day cartoon-ish helicopter, which added a patriotic sense to it. Perhaps it was the fault of the background that gave me the earrie dark thought of war, either way that was the mood projected from a seemingly innocent sculpture in an obviously peaceful park. I went back down to Pier 70 today haven't even so much as had a glance at the Schubert Sonata since last Friday, the idea of war still stuck with me as i approached it, as though it were an old model that should be in a museum somewhere. This Wednesday was a decently warm, moderately sunny day, and the sculpture was beautiful looking down from that grassy hill, with the Puget sparkling behind it. Even through all this beauty, war had still consumed my emotions for it. This time however I felt a sense of victory, like an old Vietnam movie where all the helicopters are flying back to base after all that chaos. The sun shined down on is as though some director had set up a set for a scene in a movie. This particular piece of art will probably always remind me of war, just from doing this project. In a way though, it reminds me of how you can percieve one thing or one topic several different ways. There is a good side to any given situation or at least thats what I'd like to believe, and is definately true in the art world.

Self-Assessment
I wasn't sure I would have expected a class quite like this, The way you taught our class was very efficient. I can actually say I learned something from it, not something I would admit to if it wasn't the case. I liked the way you let us go on our assignments, for me it really helped me push myself, harder than I would have otherwise. This class showed me to have a more open outlook when I take a look at a certain thing or situation. For being a General education class i am walking away with much more than a general perspective. It was cool to get out and see Seattle, especially bing from a very small town. This class along with others helped me see the artistic side of the city. I enjoyed all the final presentations and projects, though I missed the last half of them, I feel I connected with quite a few in the class. I have to say I was nervous to get up and present mine, but once up there I felt proud of what I had accomplished. Also flight of the bumble bee's is quite the song to learn. This class was a good one to have on Friday mornings. I hope to see you in more classes down the road here the school. It's been good.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
For my midterm project I choose the Love & Loss sculpture by Roy McMakin. This piece was my least favorite because as I walked towards this red & sign I thought I was walking towards a restaurant. The & sign in the sculpture was the one thing that grabbed my attention and I began to look at the sculpture and really started to dislike it. While looking at it I asked myself why the & sign?

After researching more on Roy McMakin and his work I began to understand his approach to his piece a little bit more. The sculpture of Love & Loss consists of concrete letters, 2 benches, a reflecting pool, a table, and a tree. Together they spell the words "love" and "loss" intersecting and sharing the letter "o". The sculpture also is a piece the public can functionally use. In this piece Roy McMakin is pointing out the place where love and loss intersect.

McMakin often starts his work with some everyday image and then alters it in a surprising way. The result: making the familiar seem strange. The artwork he does is simple objects that can be seen in everyday life. Some of his art work his does is making cabinets,and sculptures. He puts a clever twist on how things are perceived with the human eye, and also with the mind. When it comes to Roy McMakin’s work and with his designs, a lot of his pieces may just look like some plain old items but once he turns them into art he then creates different stories behind each and everyone of his pieces.

Although I really disliked this piece in the beginning I was able to find out more about McMakins artwork and started to really enjoy his sculpture towards the end. I have different points of view now and can learn to respect his sculpture.
