Music as Art

I appreciate all forms of art, but musician's blow my mind to say the least. Anyone can be conditioned to draw and paint and apply technique to a canvas of piece of paper, but being able to piece together rhythms and beats fascinates me. I believe it is the purest form of creativity. Jazz especially. Unfortunately I don't know how to play an instrument but that does not mean I don't appreciate musicianship and what sounds good. Jazz- sounds- good.

During our first Hallmark Symposium Scott Stowell played a Jazz sampler video he made, the video features a song called Haitian FIght Song by Charles Mingus (a Jazz artist form the 1950's and 60's). Here is a version done by the NY Ska Jazz Ensamble.Neat.

I've Asked Myself The Same Thing.

Q:Why did you choose to major in interior design? (in raspy french women's voice of course)
A: I. do. not. know.

The truth is i really don't know why i chose to major in Design. Yes, I had an idea of the things i enjoy doing and would like to concentrate on but the reality of the situation is that it was just a choice, and not necessarily a life choice but a choice of the moment. That moment was senior year and trying my hardest to assess the possibilities of what I could do or who I could be. I didn't come up with much. I enjoy math and physics and loathe history, but there are few things I truly enjoy. What I narrowed it down to was art. I simply enjoy art, and every aspect of it. I'm also fascinated by the sociology and psychology associated with art and design, mass communications and advertising.
I don't know what it is i would wan to do with a major in design but I'm determined to incorporate the thing i enjoy the most into my everyday life.

"Hang It Up"

Project seems to be going well, and were working well together. The idea of a scented hanger seems to be functional and practical.

First Entry

Seeing as this is a design blog, i will not, delve into the excitement of my everyday life or share my favorite oatmeal raisin cookie recipe, despite the fact its much more fun to talk about baking than myself here are a few tid bits about me:

My favorite media is acrylic, and i prefer canvas but I'm always looking to try new things. My favorite genre(s) of art are mainly anything from Surrealism to the Visionary art of today.

I like Dali.
