Raul Cuero interview

Raul Cuero's interview about creativity gave me insight on how to get an upper hand by using your creative side.  Creativity is more than just drawing a cool picture and creating a sculpture.  Creativity can be used in many ways that people don't realize.

I alway knew that I was a creative person -- an art kid if you will.  I found that doing things outside the realm of what's creative was hard for me.  Sitting down and studying or writing an essay was not easy for me.  To me, drawing a picture and studying for a test are two different worlds.  However, Raul Cuero would suggest that these two worlds can intertwine.

For example, if you have issues with memorizing material, why not draw a picture or create a song about what you are learning.

Every person thinks differently but not one way of thinking is correct.  It is up to you to find a new, interesting, and creative way of making what is hard easy.

Juan Carlos Delgado

Juan Carlos Delgado is a very interesting artist.  His style is unique and expressive.  Delgado uses a variety of mediums to create his work.  Combining a large canvas, paint, and a punching glove he creates a very physical and intensive composition.

Delgado's work is considered multimedia because he incorporates atypical art objects like boxing gloves to create art (however art can be create out of anything).  It would not be surprising if Delgado incorporated his own body into or to create his work.

First class

I'm not quite sure as to what it is I need to write or how to post it on to blackboard.  However, I know I need to write something pertaining to my thoughts on the class.

After attending 3 of the classes, I am intrigued as to what is in store for the rest of the semester.  It seems like I will learn a great deal about art history and how it applies to modern technology and technology of the future.  The class seems like it touches upon many areas of art as well as pop culture.  I am excited to get started.
