The activity we did for lab on Tuesday was different, yet fun. It was interesting that random actions and movement can make things collide, get in sync, or create a perfectly timed rhythm. This activity also allowed for people to get out of their shell and become unique in the surrounding space. Awkwardness, laughter, blind …

ART3110 – 3P
We are speaking to our classmates and to those who are to shy or afraid to step up and speak out about issues they want changed or movements/ideas they believe in.

ART3110 – Assignment 1
It was interesting to learn that Versace did collections for H&M as I considered Versace to be a well-known, high-end brand that stood on its own. The fact that the majority of famous couture houses rely on perfume and bath oil sales for profit was also interesting. I like that the author combined “high fashion” …
ART3110 – Fashion Heroes
The documentary River Blue really shed some light on many points I never thought to consider. For awhile, I never realized how damaging to the environment the clothes I wear on a daily basis can be. In the beginning of the film, it is mentioned that 97% of the water on this planet is saline, …
