Mike posted this in Course Studio – it’s my new favorite Redl link. Wow – this one really shows off the beauty of his concepts. Note how people sit transfixed, meditating, in some shots. Posed or not, they seem a natural part of the installation. Wow, thanks Mike! Madeline & Paul found cool Redl links, too — like Redl in context of other “extreme” artists combined in photography show, and others comment on his interesting educational background. Coming into college, a lot of students do not know what to expect. Most are worried about if they will make friends and how hard it is going to be. Wright state offers several ways that can help soothe these worries, one being the Wellness center. When people think about the wellness center, they automatically assume it is for people who need to go and talk about their problems like a therapy center. Most would never assume that the center would provide help in several areas varying from depression to career indecision. If someone has procrastination issues, which a lot of students do, the center can help students learn time management. We have all heard of the dreaded ‘freshmen fifteen’ campus recreation in the Student Union can help students avoid that. They have a fitness center, racquetball courts, swimming pool, and fitness classes that they offer. This can help freshmen relieve stress and stay in shape while they are away from home. Exercise is a popular choice for relieving stress and students freshmen year is a hard time so being involved with in recreation can help.
The first quarter of my Freshman year of college was a lot of fun. I realized that film production wasn’t quite for me. I’m not disappointed with myself about the less-than-satisfactory grade I will inevitably receive from my film appreciation class because truthfully, I did learn a bunch of new things about film analysis and critiquing. I’m glad that I signed up for an ensemble band class. It has been great getting to play my alto saxophone again. The choice to pursue a music minor might have been impulsive and a bit influenced by one of my professors, but after thinking about it, I’m happy that I chose to give it a try. Fall quarter is almost over and all I can do is reflect on all of the things I participated in and the new things I have learned. This quarter I learned how to play a piano and read treble and bass clefs at the same time. I also matured as a writer thanks to the english course I took. I learned many things about staged theatre from the ancient greek beginnings up to modern day Broadway. I will never watch a movie the same way again after having taken film appreciation. My eyes will be more focused on watching and understanding a film’s mise` en scene, cinematography, lighting, composition, and narrative structure. Lastly, I played in an ultimate frisbee tournament up in Columbus during the middle of October. It was cold, it was muddy, but it was fun. I learned many things about the sport of ultimate frisbee. It was also good getting to play frisbee because running for ultimate kept me in shape. To finish, I’m excited for winter break, but even more excited for my classes next quarter. Toga party, movie nights, and hanging out with my brother at his university are just a few of the other memories from this first quarter. Hope you guys enjoyed my posts. Take care and remember, you only live once, so why waste it? JCraven (11/13/09) I feel that the people who recreated the museum and chapel wanted people who will never be able to travel to actually see them. Being able to experience them as if they were there is what the creators wanted. This goes along with Charles Hutchinson’s “idea of creating happiness in future generations.” Also according to some people museums are a way to house “all the world’s civilizations,” bringing me back to my first statement of allowing everyone the opportunity to see what others are doing on the opposite side of the world. Whether you can actually visit the site or just simply use Second Life to teleport there, everyone has the opportunity to experience the art in some way. http://www.flickr.com/photos/garyhayes/639385135/
This beautiful dress is made of 24,000 LED’s! This really displays how technology is being implemented into every day life. Times are changing, especially in our generation. To view: http://gizmodo.com/5403518/beautiful-dress-made-out-of-24000-leds When I moved in to the honors community, I knew that I’d have to clean for myself. The week before I left my mom taught me many domestic skills that I would be using here for 4 years. One of the many things that she taught me is how to vacuum a floor because I was always never home so I had no clue how to run our vacuum, but some how I could run all my friends’ vacuums. Then she bestowed upon me the knowledge of how to wash dishes by hand because unfortunately there are no dishwashers in the rooms. Then my little sister clogged the toilet because she wondered how much toilet paper is too much. My mom thought that this would be a good time to refresh the skill of using a plunger . She also taught me how to make my bed so that way I get that nice “fresh bed” feel every night. She also taught me the art of the iron. My grandma barged in to my domestic learning and taught me how to sew a button back on to a shirt or coat. Growing up, I never had time to learn all of the “chores” of child and teen-hood. Thanks to this, before I came to Wright State I was just a shell of a person with no domestic skills whatsoever. Now I’m a person who gets bothered by a wrinkly bed or a streaky mirror or window. |
