Poem inspired by "The Street" and "Garden"

We are the architects
People talk about the future as if
it was so distant,
The future is every second that
passes by

Things in life cannot be expected to
just happen,
That is just waste of valuable
time

We are the architects of our future
We lead the way and the path
is made a little more as life goes
on day by day

We can also be the architects of destruction
if we do not take control of our lives

Time passes by
Stop and look around
Take those seconds and
mold them to your own vision
Your own creation

We are the architects

META Assignement

Meta Assignment

I am always trying to engage in AR, so I can learn or see different alternatives to methods of communicating my message or concepts successfully.  This helps me with the execution of my work making it stronger.  At this point is when I EX(experiment) with different methods through different medusa or through different approaches. During the process of EX, I  FR and R  to be able to process and generate ideas. When I am working on a piece I'm also thinking about how I can PR and D.
But the thing I do less, that I need to do more is EX.

I already have a system that I follow when I'm making work or working on new ideas.

WARP First Post

Labels Help You Organize

All blog posts must be labeled with two keywords, which blogger calls Labels. When faculty visits your blog for evaluation purposes, we will use the labels to quickly find your work. If you do not use the keywords properly, we will not be able to find your work. Proper set-up and maintenance of your blog falls under the Research and Participation part of your grade which counts for 30% of the overall semester grade. 

Topical Keywords

The first set of keywords correspond to the module we are working in. We will refer to these as topical keywords since they correspond to the topic we are exploring over the two-week periods. Your first group of posts will be labeled under Topic: Creative Impulse since this is the first topic (Topic #1). Here are the topical keywords you will use through out the semester:

Topic: Creative Impulse

Topic: Pattern and Ornament

Topic: Rhinoceros

Topic: Narrative

Topic: Landscape

Topic: Zine

Categorical Keywords

The second set of keywords will organize your posts according to kind. Here are the Keywords you will use for Labels:

Exercises - tag for posts documenting all assigned exercises. The first one will be the paper folding exercise from the first class. 

Readings - tag for posts containing your two paragraph responses to the assigned readings. The first ones will be for "The White Bird" and the Jerry Saltz article from Vulture.com. 

Small Works - tag for posts documenting all assigned small works. The first blog post labeled Small Works will contain images and accompanying descriptions of the three small works you complete for the Creative Impulse Module (Topic #1). 

In-Depth Projects - tag for posts documenting all assigned In-Depth projects. The first blog post labeled In-Depth Projects will contain images (or video if appropriate) and accompanying descriptions of the more robust work you produce in response to the Creative Impulse Module (Topic #1).

Outside Visits - tag for posts containing your two paragraph responses to all required visits outside of the classroom. These include visits we do together as a class [during class time] or individually outside of class time. 

Please be sure to use both a topical and categorical keyword when labeling your posts.
