Thoughts
This is a very weird time period for art. It’s defiantly a time that I wouldn’t want to be it - and the fact that there are wars going on. Not that I really know what type of art period we’re in now.
The movies are very depressing, though I guess that Russia was a depressing country. It’s odd learning more about history events rather than something like the evolution of type that we did earlier. Still, both styles of ‘art history’ isn’t like the one that I got use to last year at Moore College.
I’m starting to accept all of it, but I’m still not all that interested of any point other than doing well on the next test.
Question
If the one side losses the projector can we turn the lights up a bit so people who take real notes can see.
