Jessica Hische

how young and how successful she is was just an inspiration in its self she work with big names like Tiffany and company, Entertainment Weekly, and The Wall St. Journal. I forget how young she was but she couldn't have been in her 30's. She has achieved a life after school that is sought after by most art students and I know one day that I attain the same level of fame that she achieved. 

Ben Volta

I had a hard time understanding what he really does to have his art work hung in the MOMA and he is also had the Franklin institute ask him to do something for them as well. His whole thing is that he gives an idea to a math class of intercity kids and they all collaborate and he gets to put his name on it and get recondition for their work.  He said he really likes to let them do everything like at a level where he will provide tools and material and would come back later and see what happens.  This really pushes the boundaries of getting and making connections because of someone else.  This guy is now in contact with a lot of highly connected people that he can now benefit off of everything even after he stops working with these kids. Plainly put I think hes wrong in what hes doing.

H. John Thompson

This man had a lot to say about family and keeping it close to you at all times.  how he set up his studio to look like his grandfathers bakery is a really cool idea.  I feel like now that I'm in college I don't really have a tight bond with my family as I once did.  He really inspired me to go into my next few projects for school with the mentality to do art that reminds me of my family.  This lecture was one of the few that I really got anything out of.

the internship lecture

 there were a cupped different people that talked during this lecture the first and third person that spoke didn't really even get my attention. But for the second speaker not only did this girl have a very assertive presents but she stole my attention from the work I needed done for the class right after the lecture. She was a senior and graphic design and talked about her internship with Hallmark.  This wasn't that interesting but the way she talked i just couldn't ignore her.  unfortunately I didn't even get to finish the homework and really just was overloaded by how much and how fast this girl communicated.

mohawk

the lecture before Candy Depew was a very forgetful guy granted that i am blogging about him a few weeks later but don’t remember his name, what i do remember was he had a Mohawk and didn’t use power point to show his slides. My tea almost spilled on me like 3 times because the stupid desk part had a slant and it kept sliding when I wasn't looking. over all just another lecture.

Doug G

Yesterday the lecture was ran by a guy named Doug he really didn't talk about the normal topic of studio space it was more about him and his art, it was a nice switch from the norm. What I remember most was about how he was a diabetic and did a lot of art about his condition and it was very inspiring that he exploits himself. I don’t know what it is about putting yourself on the line like your art is you makes me admire him.

Candy coated lecture

This week’s lecture was the most interesting out of all of them. Her name was Candy Depew she talked mainly about her amazing life and where she had been and what kind of events her life was geared around. She talked a lot about apprentices and how connect her two apprentices are. Her talk just inspired me to have a life like hers. I can truly say that I want to be an artist even more after I heard her speak.

third lecture

Lecture for the first two go was bland at most well I missed the first, but I heard stories that made me glad that I missed. This weeks lecture was about how our brain is our first work space. That thought process is exactly how I do art. Ill have the task of a painting or a school project in my head and wont stop thinking about it till I have a clear plan. only then will I start to sketch out an idea. That made me happy to think about someone else thinking in the same way as you that has already been successful.

TED

"TED is a small nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading" the subject of the Ted I watched was all about copy write and and about music but what i found most interesting about the clip was how the speaker was using the projected screen to echo what he was saying in a very abstract way. It compelled me to use more multi media in my own art.

experiencing the Tyler foundation lectures

the lecture was a bit of a drag today I had a lot on my mind. I listened to parts of the lecture but really didn't give it enough attention to remember much other then he was tall and had a unique voice the drew you into the conversation, but every time that would happen the subject matter just turned me back to what I was doing. He talked for a good length of time in the beginning where I didn't even realize he was talking because I was so far in to my subconsciousI was unaware of any thing going on around me. He seemed like a good guy.

Challenged with the task of exploring Philly taking pictures, rescuing found objects, and sketching I had another motive.  I took off to further my exploration of a resent idea that I’ve been thinking about.  Lately I've really been taking notice of how nature in displayed in a city rather then just there.  There’s almost a yin and yang feeling I get when I’m at my house in the suburbs visiting from school where man made objects don't clutter the sky and nature is more natural.  Opposed to the city where nature is almost non-existing.  This idea led me to take pictures of how nature is almost super imposed in the city. What I picked up for my found objects is just a token of how man destroys and leaves behind.
