Super power

I chose the super power to be in two places at once. A lot of time instead of going to class, there are a lot more things I want to be doing. With the super power of having the ability to be in two places at once allows me to be present in class and learn, and also sleep. Another reason why I would want to be in two places at once would be when I'm working, I would rather be hanging out with my friends or getting other things done. This super power would be awesome to have. I thought for a long time what I would want to be, and this was in my top 3 list. The only thing I would change about my project is to express more how I could be in two places at once.

PROJECT 3





I chose adding Let's go Bucks to the Ohio State Stadium. I chose adding this to show more support for our Ohio State Buckeye football team. I am a huge fan of the Bucks, and this is my way of showing my support. I added a text box and use an italic font to make it look a little fancy. I want people to look at this and gain more support when being at this stadium and cheering on the Buckeyes!

Walking to class

On the first day of classes at the Ohio State University, I had a lot of mixed emotions with finding my class, being on time, and timing my walk perfectly. I brought a map with me to help my find my way, although campus is still pretty confusing. I walked from my house on Summit to the Ohio State Stadium. I used the map to figure out what buildings I would be passing and what path I should be taking. Every morning I have to make sure I have enough time to walk from my house to class. I usually take the same route, I walk on high street and then make a left right before lane. I sometimes walk with the same people, and pass the same buildings. On my first day I was a little worried about not being able to find my way around the stadium, but the signs that you put up on the doors helped a lot!

Alexis Rockman
            The Evolution painting by Alexis Rockman in 1992, was a piece of artwork that caught my eye as soon as I walked into one of her exhibit rooms. This artwork is very colorful, and has a lot of unique animals included in it which is the denotation. It  is an artwork within a marsh like area, where a mix of dinosaur and pre-historic animals are in this swamp along with animals. Another thing to note was a volcano in the background with smoke coming out of the top of it, looking like it’s polluting the air. Alexis Rockman has a dark side to this painting. The swamp has oil sitting on the top of it and the animals are swimming above and below the water.
            The Evolution artwork was made with paint. Alexis mixed a lot of crazy colors together to attract her viewers. In my opinion, this painting was made to express the harm that the world is doing to our animals and wild life due to pollution. The connotation is Alexis is trying to stress pollution is going on in the world around us more and more each day. The artist is expressing that with showing the oil in the water, and the smoke in the air. I really liked this painting of Alexis the most of all her artworks.
