Documentary on the secret to sustainability 

If there was a documentary that was going to change my mind about the choices that i’m making in my life this is the one that has made the biggest impact. This documentary talks on the topics of environmental issues and the causes of the issues. It follows the animal agriculture industry and the effect it has on the environment. It follows the effects it has and will continue to have on our planet if we continue to live the way that we are. 

Sick another Blog... like i said... not really into blogs because it’s really not something I’m into but it’s super dope to find one that’s designed in a way that catches my eye. 

This website look really cool, the first graphic I saw when I went to the website was one for square space. Which was super funny because the amount of adds i’ve seen for square space is crazy. square space sponsors podcasts i listen to and they have youtube adds. 

I don’t really read blogs but when looking into this one the one thing THE ONE THING that pulled me in was the design of the website. holy wow. it looks super cool and vibrant in colour. The colour carries through the whole website with the things they talk about.

MORE ART

ART with Hannie 

I think looking at art with a gal like hannah is so crazy because she see’s things is such a different way than most people.Especially with art. Hannah bowman is a baker and she’s a weird gal. but she see’s things in a weird way, i think everyone should have an interaction with her way of thinking.  

i’ve asked her about art before, she gets kinda confused with somethings having to do with it and the materials and meaning but she finds her way of bringing things together and finding a type of peace within an art piece. 

Gensler Architects 

Holy wow. What a chance to hear from these guys and the awesome work that they do for their community. They came here out of their way to speak to us in their own interest of what we are learning and doing within our own community.

They talked to us about some of their projects and the magnitude of them. this awesome project they are doing or did (i cant really remember anymore) with Columbia Chicago and this super cool student building. This is insane. Because we are designing a new student building... HOW FREAKING COOL WOULD IT BE IF THEY HELPED WITH OURS OMG.

NEW BUILDING!

omg wow.wow.wow. 

 We get to be here in the progress of designing a new art building... what a time. Getting to sit in and be a part of what to come of the future of the art and design department at IWU is so AWESOME!! Getting to hear about the progression of this throughout the last years, and what is to come here in the next few is crazy, i get to see it all unravel and even help with it (hopefully). The potential this building has will bring so much to this department. but i also have some concerns.

When thinking about the community and how we join into the IWU community, how will a building off campus help structure that even more. I feel like it would make it even more difficult for us to feel like a part of the community. Being a part of the art department is really a blessing i have learned so much and have gotten to be a part of something so much bigger then i could even explain. But the disconnect i feel is still existing even while i am on campus. What is going to happen to that when we move, further away then what we already are (hypothetically). I don’t know but that’s just what I’m thinking about it. I know there are ways to make us feel like a part of the campus but we can see how that goes when the time comes. Whenever that time comes, however soon it does come.
