Today, you will get your discussion points through blogging.
For the 5 points you will answer one of the following questions in 2-3 sentences-
AND THEN-
'react' or 'respond' to 2 of your peers comments.
Agree or disagree or add to their train of thought, but your posts must have SUBSTANCE to count!!!!!
A mere "I agree!" or "You are so smart!" WILL NOT COUNT.
Don't forget to end with your name on all 3 of the comments that you make today.
OK.
Here are the QUESTIONS.
1) With the appearance of the first major ART CRITIC (john ruskin),the question is-
WHO IS THE BIGGEST influence on what you like?
WHOSE OPINION do you take as 'gospel'?
WHO do you listen to about artistic matters? clothes, movies, music, etc...?
WHO is this person in your life NOW?
Who was your biggest influence 10 years ago?
Who do you think will be your biggest influence in 10 years?
2) Without getting too spiritual, how do you think someone knows when they've found the thing they want to pursue for the rest of their lives? THEY JUST FEEL IT, is not an acceptable answer - really think about HOW YOU WILL know when you find your future career path...
3) Can art kill someone? How?
Can art save someone's life? How?
I KNOW YOU MIGHT try to answer this question with a joke or something, like, "YES, if it falls off the wall and crushes their skull..." But if you answer this question, try and think less literally...
REMEMBER - I ONLY COUNT INTELLIGENT RESPONSES!!!

3. Art can save your life by allowing you to see the world in a different way. It can save you from underestimating the world, and can inspire you to pursue things you never thought you could achieve. Whether or not society is able to actually act on this inspiration is up for debate, but art certainly has the power to change the world, and save individuals from becoming mindless automatons.

ReplyDelete1) i think the biggest influence on what you like are your parents and family members. if your parents are into rock, then you'll most likely be into a lot of rock music instead of a different genre for a while; until you start meeting new people who like different genre's than you do and start listening to their music and start liking it.
3) I think that art could kill someone becasue if someone works there whole life and takes risks to follow there passion they could have enemys. Some of there enemys might try to kill them if they feel that they have no chance to succeed with that person around or they feel threatened. And it could possible save someones life becaue they could be into hard core drugs or something bad that might kill them in the future and they find that art truly helped them out of a difficult situation.
ReplyDelete~ Hannah Schneider
I agree with Taylor, I think parents are highly influential people, and when they encourage openness to new thoughts and ideas, that's when that influence is used positively.
ReplyDeleteAllison Mermelstein
2. People know they've found what they want to pursue for the rest of their life when they're able to do it even in horrible moods for extended periods of time without success, and not getting bored, frustrated, etc. It's simply if you enjoy something immensely and you feel that when you do it you are accomplishing something, then you know you are where you want to be. :)
ReplyDelete-Nate Basham
I don't think art can kill someone. I do think it can save someone's life though, because they could be going through a really hard time or dealing with some problems that could harm them or kill them or others (ex:drugs, alcohol) and they might see a piece of art that really inspires them to do better or make better of themselves, or it might change the way they think about certain things and it may encourage or influence them to change their ways.
ReplyDeleteAshley J.
My biggest influence ten years ago was probably my daddy because he was always around me, and through out the years has taught me soo much. My biggest influence ten tears from now will probably be my best friends and possibly my husband, as well as my church because these things will, more likely then not, be very important to me.

2) Without getting too spiritual, how do you think someone knows when they've found the thing they want to pursue for the rest of their lives? THEY JUST FEEL IT, is not an acceptable answer - really think about HOW YOU WILL know when you find your future career path...
ReplyDeleteI believe that a person has found the thing that they want to pursue for the rest of their lives when they get so excited that even the nitty gritty working details are fun. When you get so excited to have whatever your doing presented or seen by others that you can't focus, sit still, or concentrate on what else needs to be done. When you find what truly makes you happy everyday, without fail. It's something that gives you a massive rush of adrenaline that just lights your fire, and gets you STOKED!
Ian Stang
In my opinion influential people in everyones life is mainly our family.I think this because we grow up with they're ideals, morals and values. Of course were still unique and differ with our own thoughts.
ReplyDeleteCRYSTAL HERNANDEZ
2) I think that someone knows when they've found something they want to pursue for the rest of their lives when that person find something of interest to them. For instance, if someone really likes animals, then they will probably pursue a career that revolves around animals like a vet, or an animal trainer. I think I've already found my career path. I want to go down the path of Graphic Design. My dad is a Graphic Designer, and ever since he's started working as one, I've been really interested in it, and I've been taking classes to help me understand it more.
ReplyDeleteKyle Gallagher
I agree with Hannah. Art, in any form, can consume you. Ashley also makes a good point, that art can inspire. It seems both points of view are almost equally valid. :)
ReplyDelete-Nate Basham
In my opinion when you find something that you want to do for the rest of your life it should be your passion, something that you enjoy doing. Something that you wont get bored with, and it should be something that you love.
ReplyDeleteHanna Snelson
Ashley J. I have to disagree with you, if someone has enemies in art it might get them killed. Or if people fight over a piece of art work it could lead to violence and death.
ReplyDeleteHannah Schneider
the biggest influence onme today is deffinanlymy grandma.. she is someone i would really llike to be like, mostly beacause she is so crafty and artiskic and down to earth. i dont thinki could name one person who dosnt like the woman..
ReplyDeleteanother huge influence in art is andy warhol, he basicly created pop art in my opinion
-KD
2. Even though it's pretty cliche, I think that the way a person finds their future career path is when they find something that they really enjoy doing and can see themselves doing for a long time. Different things resonate with different people, and when a person finds that thing that they resonate with and are passionate about, they've found their career path. Maybe it's a cliche for a reason... %)
ReplyDeleteMiranda Williams
i agree with allison because doing art can let you see the world in many different ways and i really dont think it matters if people say your work is bad because you thought it was good so that is all that matters
ReplyDeleteJake
2) They will know when they've found something that they want to pursue for the rest of their lives when they know that they really enjoy what they do. It doesn't necessarily have to high paying or make them famous, they just have to enjoy it. For instance, if they enjoy getting paid and getting money, they might go into one of the higher-paying careers, and vise versa for people that don't care for money.
ReplyDelete~Zach Noble
I think that your parents are the biggest influencer until a certain age. Or, if not, until a certain age, then until you have more that one source of information that you trust. I am sure that people have most of the same opinions with their parents until they find out that there is more out there than that one point of view. If you have positive parents, they will let you branch off and create your own ideals without shutting you down every time.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess that it is not a certain age that you have to pass to think freely, (because some people never do), but after experiences or after you trust in many people.
Toni Graham.
I agree with Crystal because your family does influence you in many ways, but you have your own unique qualities about you. This separates you from being an exact "Copy" of your parents.
ReplyDeleteKyle Gallagher
I think your parents have a big influence on you and what you like. When your young you grow up trying to be just like them and you grow up listening and seeing what they do.Then when you start getting older and make friends you start seeing what they wear and what music they listen to and then they start having a greater influence on you than you parents do.
ReplyDeleteAshley P.
Though I agree with Ian, I also think that there are tough days no matter what you end up pursuing. To believe that once you've found your passion there won't be any hard times is a little naive. Unfortunately, the world is designed to throw curve balls your way. However, if you've found the thing you love, it's a little easier to dodge those curve balls.
ReplyDeleteAllison Mermelstein
I disagree with Taylor. I don't think our parents are the biggest influence. I think the media and society influence us. We see things on tv and in magazines and we like it because thats what everyone else is liking at the time and we want to be like the rest. We want to fit in to society so we go along with it. Celebrities help promote stuff and influence us because we see what they are doing and what they like so we start to like the same things just because we want to be like them because they are famous and we think they are cool.
ReplyDeleteAshley J.
Crystal makes the good point that we are all influenced by the people who we interact with on a day-to-day basis from very early on (i.e. your family!). Everyone will have their ideas and values based off of their earliest experiences.:)
ReplyDelete-Nate Basham
I don't think art can kill someone. I do think it can save someone's life though, because they could be going through a really hard time or dealing with some problems that could harm them or kill them or others (ex:drugs, alcohol) and they might see a piece of art that really inspires them to do better or make better of themselves, or it might change the way they think about certain things and it may encourage or influence them to change their ways.
ReplyDeleteAshley J.
I do believe it can. I've heard of people [kids included] that have listened to music or seen depressing art that has pushed them to the edge, and off of it. Like wise, it might be done by another. Someone could get so inspired by a message they've interpreted in a piece of art that they could decide to kill whoever is depicted [usually political reasons are to blame] or those associated, or supporting this person.
Question 1: I think people listen to their friends for what they chose to wear and listen to. The people you surround yourself with are usually your biggest influence.
ReplyDeleteStephanie M.
I agree with the first comment that Allison Mermelstein said. I never thought of art saving you in that way. It does make sense though, because art can put a different perspective on things depending on how you wish to look at it.
ReplyDeleteHanna Snelson
I think that depending on what it is, but i believe that the media has a big say and imput into the things that we like. I think that the biggest influence on me right now is my peers, because they are the people who judge you the most. Ten years ago my biggest influence was my parents, i looked up to them alot and when you are that young no one else really matters other then your family. I think that the media is going to continue to be a big influence on the things that we like ten years from now.
ReplyDeleteAshley Nielsen
I believe that the biggest influence on what we like comes from the people we associate with like friends and family.They might be good influences or bad influences but it is our choice to follow which one we think is correct.The biggest influence on what I like would probably be my friends,because I tend to spend more time with them than my family.I don't take anyone's opinion as gospel because most of the time I don't even care what they're saying.My biggest influence in 10 years would have to be someone in the skateboarding industry like Don Nguyen or Corey Duffel,or someone in the music industry like Slash,Buckethead and Herman Li.And this goes back to what we like,because we are also influenced by that stuff.

i agree and diagree with Allison. someone could also think that doing something that isn't okay is okay by seeing several paintings of it.
ReplyDeletei agree with Crystal too. although it doesn't neccecarily have to be your family, it could be your best friend too. whoever you spend a lot of time with. you start to pick up on some of their traits and, in a way, become a lot like them.
Taylor
I agree with Toni I think after a certain age you stop thinking your parents are cool and you branch off and become your own person.
ReplyDeleteAshley P.
You will find your future career, and know it is the one that your ment to do for the rest of your life because it is something you really injoy. No matter how bad of a day your having you can always turn to that job and smile or feel relaxed. Even if that job may be stressful at times, by the end of the day you will feel like you have accomplished something.
ReplyDeleteApril Stephenson
I believe a persons biggest influence should be themselves. An individual shouldn't have to rely on the thoughts of others around them to form their oun opinions about things.
ReplyDelete--Ashley Cardwell
I agree with toni and Ashley P
ReplyDeleteBecause your parents might influence you when your younger but as you get older you learn that you have your own say in life and can choose how you want to live it. And the group of friends and people that you are surrounded by also guide you in life.
Hannah schneider
In a way I agree with Hannah. Throughout life you'll make many enemies, but I'm not sure if they will kill you over your passion.
ReplyDeleteStephanie M.
I kinda disagree with Crystal... I think parents are a big influence for values/morals and worldview, but not necessarily cultural preferences like music genres and movies. I think peer groups influence these more.
ReplyDeleteMiranda W.
I don't think that art could kill someone.... but possibly aid their downfall. Take Edgar Allen Poe for instance, he was already crazy before he started writing his stuff. It could be that his art form, writing, slowly drove him to utter madness. If you read his stuff though, you can tell that something wasn't right there to begin with. But the best things in life come like that, at a price.
ReplyDeleteToni Graham
the biggest influence on what i like is me i am my own person and choose for myself what i like and dislike but whose opinion matters to me the most is jayden lee gallagher, my best friend. She always tells me what she honestly thinks on something no matter what, and she has very strong opinions, even though her opinions won't always change my mind. 10 years ago my biggest influence was probably my aunt or grandparents.
ReplyDeleteIn ten years my biggest influence could be anyone i have no idea who it will be fate deals some pretty random cards at times.
I don't think you can know because we have this perception that enough is really never enough but maybe people like monks feel like they have enough when their soul is at rest or something. My career path will probably not be outstanding by any means in fact most peoples won't or so i've seen. i just want to be a mommy or a psychiatric nurse, i just want to leave this world knowing someones life was a little better because of me.
Well some people go crazy over art like cut off their ear and other damage to their body, people sometimes become depressed over art or just lead depressing lives and art could make it seem even worse thus leading to suicide but art can save someone too. For instance you could be in a pit of depression and art might be your release for it.
-Tosha rodriguez
1.I think the biggest influence in my life right now would be parents and friends. Like if my friends are listening to certain music or watching certain television shows, then i think I would take an interest in them to see if i liked it too. My biggest influence ten years ago was probably just my parents because as a six year old, every aspect of your life is controlled by your parents. In the next ten years, i think that the media will gain even more power over us as more people begin using twitter,facebook, etc. and that what beccomes popular will depend on what makes the media the most money.

ReplyDeleteArt can totally contribute killing someone -- whether the artist takes their own life, or they are killed by another person. Art has a way of being so allegorical, and inspiring. It can both kill and save. Here's how...
Artists are always passionate people, some geniuses (or self-proclaimed ones at least), or total basket-cases. Nevertheless, whoever they are, they always want others to LIKE their work. When they receive negative feedback, it is very discouraging - sometimes leading to suicide.
However, art can also save a life. Like said above, art is very inspiring. It makes you think, and see things a different way.
{Responding to peers comments:}
I agree with Allison. Art is inspiring, telling someone know that there are still passionate people who can grasp what is actually important in life.
I disagree with Taylor. If a child doesn't have respect for their parents, they will obstain from anything their parents support - including musical likes and dislikes. Youth has always revolted this way, and always will.
~Alyssa Dale
I agree with Ashley C. Although if someone has no one to look up to in life how will they know to push them selves to do more and be better if they have no one to be influenced by.
ReplyDeleteHannah Schneider
I agree with Ian because when you find what makes you happy it's like you go into your own little world,out to explore by yourself.It gives you a gret feeling to know that you're good at something that you love to do.
ReplyDelete-Sebastian
Ashley C, I totally agree with you! I think the older we get, too, the more we rely on our own judgements and preferences for music/art/etc instead of those of the people around us to (hopefully).
ReplyDeleteMiranda W
I agree with Kyle I think someone finds the career they want when they find something that interests them. If they don't enjoy what there doing then they won't be successful.

1. I suppose the biggest influences on what I like are my friends. Because they are the ones who I'm with a lot of the time.
ReplyDeleteI take Oprah's opinion as gospel.
I kind of go off my own opinion as far as art things, but I'm sure I am influenced by something.
My biggest influence 10 years ago was my parents obviously.
There is no way to know what will happen 10 years from now.

I dont think that i have have ever meet a teenager who wants to be just like thier parents are.
ReplyDeleteAshley Nielsen
well ya parents are a gig influence toni, but everyone veiws some one else in a different way.... the people who raise us trim and mend us into the person we are.. we learn everything from what we observe and are exposed to on a daily basis.....\\ there really is not a specific big influence, but billions and trillions nand iggilllions...

I agree with Ashley Cardwell. i think that people should influence themselves, be there own person. But I don't think that people will want to be there own person because they fear that people will reject if who they really are isn't whats popular.

i think art can save someones life because it can get your mind off things you dont want to think of, and your doing what you want to do, you can draw, paint, sculpt, or anything in your own way its just your style of art and its what you want so thats how i think it could save someones life
ReplyDeleteoh and also if your like mad you can always incorprate your anger in your art

I believe a persons biggest influence should be themselves. An individual shouldn't have to rely on the thoughts of others around them to form their oun opinions about things.
ReplyDelete--Ashley Cardwell
I would have to agree. I know that my parents have ZERO influence on me because I'm the exact opposite of what they are and want. I have completely different views, and morals then my parents do. I've influenced myself, by the choices I've made, things I've done, and the things that I'm attracted to.
I mean they can be an influence, but your BIGGEST influence just seems to me that your a bit of a puppet. Just because your parents can influence you doesn't mean you should let them. Make your own decisions, choices, and influence yourself. You can take suggestions and ideas from them, but living your life the way they think you should just seems ridiculous to me.
Ian Stang
I agree with toni that your parents are a huge influence up until a certain age and what i think is sorta stupid is that your parents do so much for you and when you turn that age some kids completely cut their parents out of their lives.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with ashley n. that the media is a huge part in how we think, act, and dress. Because everyone just wants to fit in and be accepted and the media shows you how to do it.
I agree with Toni, parents will always influence they're offspring. It is bound to happen but there is always a possibility that ounce they grow up they're ideals completely change. Or they always value the morals they've grown up with.
ReplyDeleteCrystal Hernandez
I dont agree with Taylor because when i think back to went I started middle school me and all of the people around me saw the chance to be whoever we wanted and have freedom we grabbed it and took off running as fast as we could. when you become a teenager you want to rebel and be nothing like your parents.

ReplyDelete--Stephanie D
Why are people soo dependent on their friends opionions and decisions?? I think that's how kids are being raised now a days. Some kids parents rely on the government to take care of them, that is NOT right. The government shold have no say in people's personal life.
ReplyDeleteApril Stephenson
I agree with Ian for the most part. Everyone has bad days and they may not feel like working for a day or so just because they are so exhausted that they don't think they can handle it, or maybe there is something else going on that makes them not want to work at the time. But, it's true it should be something that makes you happy when doing it most of the time, and you should like everything about it including the small details, not just one part because most likely you won't be happy. You shouldn't get bored of it easily or have to dread doing it all the time, you should be happy and excited to do it.

I agree with Stephanie D. Oprah is a huge influence on middle aged women (and Stephanie Duns) everywhere. I think that talk show hosts influence America a ton.

I would disagree. Dirty competition, bitter competition yes. Take Battle of the Bands for example. That's good friendly competition. Yes we still want to win but that's not going to stop us from being friends with other bands in the competition. As long as the competitors understand that this isn't about blood it's about sport, then everything will be okay. I think that gets lost in modern sports. I've never seen musical or artistic competition ruin friendships.
thank you jake. im glad somebody isnt completely oblivious to the fact that nobody knows anything...

I would have to agree with Zach. The TV does have influential powers over people, Kids to Teens in general. TV shows, commercials, etc. Try and tell you how you should act, or what to buy to be more "accepted". Most teens and kids go along with what the TV is telling them.
Kyle Gallagher
Toni,
ReplyDeleteAll Canadians love Glenn Beck FYI.
i think my biggest influence would be the music i listen to because it can make a difference in what type of art you do. like if you listen to depressed music then your prolly going to do some art that is down and if you listen to some hardcore music then youd prolly do some intense piece of art
ReplyDeleteJake
Regarding Ashley Cardwell's comment and those responses to it-
ReplyDeleteIt's true that we're influenced by others; we can't help it because we're herd animals by nature (bear with me). However, I think that some people are influenced by those around them more than others, and that some people can live so that these outside influences are minimized.
Miranda

ReplyDeleteAshley J.
I understand that you will have a bad day and not want to work, but I think that what you pursue should be able to pull you out of your slum, and put you in a better place, or at least get you headed in that direction. I know that I want to be a musician for the rest of my life, because it seems like not matter what life throws at me, A good session with the guys can pull me out and get me happier. I'm not saying this will be an instant cure all but it should certainly help your mood, otherwise I don't think it should be what your pursuing. I know that my musical career will be a hard one, and it's not going to be easy, but I enjoy it with my everything I am. I know it's been my passion for 7 almost 8 years, and it will continue to be for the rest of my life.
Ian Stang
I disagree with Hannah because yeah people have enemies but even if they kill that person I wouldn't blame it on art, I'd blame the person for having bad morals and being almost insane to take it to that extreme. There are rivalries between everything. for example there are enemies in business, if there is a competition for a manager place and one kills the other because they are enemies, it doesnt mean that business kills people. theres also enemies in high school and we don't kill each other just because someone is more popular or pretty. so, if someone gets killed because of art its not the art that kills people, it's the crazy people that live in this world.

ReplyDeleteAside from money and status i'd say that most people pursue their passions and discover them just by personal experience and living in general.

everyone needs to calm down, this is a discussion we each have our own opinions. Let's accept that and move on. stop trippin' haha. C:
ReplyDelete-+0$h@ r0Dr!gu3zzzz.
i think my biggest influence would be the music i listen to because it can make a difference in what type of art you do. like if you listen to depressed music then your prolly going to do some art that is down and if you listen to some hardcore music then youd prolly do some intense piece of art
ReplyDeleteJake
Word man. I totally understand you here.
Ian Stang
They have Talking Yogurt?!?!
ReplyDeleteKyle Gallagher
Are you guys kidding with the Glenn Beck thing?
ReplyDeleteCAPS LOCK IS HOW I DO IT...
ReplyDelete-KD
Yeah there kidding about the glenn beck thing.
ReplyDeleteJust because you don't put your name in it, doesn't mean we don't know it what you. Read the last sentence of the blog.... I did not ever change my opinion, I said that his brilliance came at a price. Everything like that does. Haven't you seen the move A Beautiful Mind?
ReplyDeleteToni Graham
I disagree with ashley as well. i think art can get you killed. people could see a piece of art and het suicidal thoughts or something and jump off a cliff.
ReplyDeleteBrandon Little
Kind of. I agree with the importance of free speech but I am not a personal supporter of Glenn Beck.
ReplyDelete--Stephanie
CHUCK NORRIS OWNS DAVID HASSLEHOFF
ReplyDeleteKd what does that have to do with anything?
ReplyDeleteHananh
As far as the money to pursue your passion deal, I mean, I'm a broke kid that has slowly saved money, and sold things of mine to get what I need to pursue my passion. I've put over 1000$ of my own hard earned money to get my bass rig going, and my friends work just as hard to get their set ups, so we can all pursue our happiness together.
ReplyDeleteIan Stang
Ha, give people anonymity and watch things go downhill faasstt...
ReplyDeletehaha i saw chuck norris in a workout video the other day :D
ReplyDeleteI LOVE GLENN BECH!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteChuck Norris once participated in the running of the bulls. The bulls ran from him.
ReplyDelete~Zach Noble
GLEN BECK OWNS ALL OF THEM!
ReplyDeleteEDGER ALLAN POE WAS NOT CRAZY!!!!!
ReplyDeletehow do you know your not the crazy person?
he saw things differently,and wrote brilliant gothic lit. the normal man is a myth, and if you ask me people who strive to ffit in are the crazy ones.
-kd
I agree with KD, there's no such thing as normal really, no classification, and no one to tell who is or isn't normal. we are all different but trying to be all alike, I don't know what the point of that is, and I'd call it crazy.

Round of applause to you Ian :P
Kyle Gallagher
DAMN GOOD YOGURT..
ReplyDeleteGUESS THIS IS MY INSPIRATION.
KD.
WHO THE HELL IS GLENN BECK?!
ReplyDeleteI agree with free speech. i'm using my free speech to talk about how Glenn Beck influences Americans.
ReplyDeleteTravis Blunt
WHY DOES EVERYTHING COME DOWN TO POLITICS?
ReplyDeleteWHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??!
ReplyDeleteTyra is a great influence <3
ReplyDeleteGlen Beck is only the worst thing that happened to FOX.
ReplyDeleteSo if you would like to see my passion come out to Battle of the Bands tonight.
ReplyDelete7pm @ Eastham Elementary.
We're on at around 8ish. My band is called Give Up Nothing. Come have a good time.
Ian Stang
I don't agree with the idea that passion equals happiness even in failure. I think that it's rather that the success in your passion overrides the remorse that comes with failure. Throughout history, we see people that continually fail and this failure usually derives them elsewhere rather than into ecstatics. I don't know if that's a word. Haa.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with miranda in that everyone is influenced differently. Some people drown in the opinions and examples of others, while some prosper by directing towards it's opposite.
Chelsea Kopp
hey...kyle...can i have a dollar?
ReplyDelete-+R
TYRA BANKS IS A FAKE..
ReplyDeleteEVERYTHING SHE SAYS IS COMPLETELY SCRIPTED..
-KD
... No tosha
ReplyDeleteKyle Gallagher
ANYWAYS...
ReplyDeleteBack to art, i think that media,friends and family influence a person, but that they should also be there own person as well.
Travis Blunt
WHY DOES EVERYTHING COME DOWN TO POLITICS?
ReplyDeletei think it comes down to politics because it effects us and the world everyday and there is barely anything we can do about it. if the government loses money then we pay more. its a horrible thing but thats the way the world is

ReplyDeleteIan Stang
Exactly, you don't need money to pursue something that you really like, you just need the time and the patience for it.
~Zach Noble
i can take a 20 $$$$
ReplyDeleteYogurt is a really hot topic right now.... and Tosha what is the dollar for?
ReplyDeleteToni
TYRA BANKS IS A FAKE..

ReplyDeleteashley nielsen
I like how nobody is putting their name anymore.
ReplyDelete...Isn't that kind of hypacritical (sorry about spelling) if whoever posted this didn't put their name as well?
Kyle Gallagher
ANYWAYS Now Back to Art...
ReplyDeleteTravis Blunt

ReplyDeleteSO DONT VOICE AN OPINION ON OBAMAH..
YOU RACIST F**K

Learn how to spell OBAMA.
ReplyDeleteTYRA BANKS IS A FAKE..
ReplyDeleteEVERYTHING SHE SAYS IS COMPLETELY SCRIPTED..
But Tyra wasnt always that way.
Hannah
The people on her show aren't fake though and even if she is "fake" she gives real advice, whether its scripted or not its inspirational and good advice. The stories on her show are inspirational as well as educational.She gives people confidence and thats a big thing now a days with everyone wanting to be super thin and everyone to like them as well as getting pressured and under stress constantly
OBAMAH HAS TO SPEND MONEY IN ORDER TO BRING OUR ASSES OUT OF DEBT, BUSH WAS THE ONE WHO DRAGGED US DOWN. AND THE FACT THAT WE AS A NATION HAVE BEEN CONSUMING MORE THAT WE PRODUCE..
ReplyDelete-KD
It is getting pretty heated in here.
ReplyDeleteStop using CAPS.
ReplyDeleteit's drug and again OBAMA.
ReplyDeleteTHAT SHOWS HOW MUCH YOU KNOW ABOUT POLITICS, LEARN HOW TO SPELL!!!!!!!!!

MY EYES ARE BLEEDING FROM CAPS
ReplyDeleteI think art could kill someone if they were passionate enough about it to love it more than life itself.
ReplyDelete--Stephanie D
anyone? food? dollar? starving here.
ReplyDeleteive heard ian play and let me tell you he is beast at that bass
ReplyDeleteJake
Thanks. When did you see me? Have you been to a show? [so many people come I forget everyone...hahaah.]
STIMULUS all that spending totally makes sense!!!
ReplyDeleteThe person who posted the thing about not voicing their opinion because you are racist, DUDE: people were just talking about how the only thing that you can know for sure is that you know nothing at all. Kind of Hypocritical don't you think?...
ReplyDeleteToni Graham
People still have the right to voice there opinion even if they aren't as educated about you on this topic. FREE SPEECH
ReplyDeleteI agree!!
And I know probably more about the government than that idiot up there.
Bahaha! This will be a great example of the joys of blogging for Leib's presentation!

Toni Graham
Hey, play nice kiddies...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Stephanie Duns that if someone is truly passionate about what they are doing, ART WISE, then they will dowhat they can for there art.
ReplyDeleteTravis Blunt
If we're a nation who consumes more than we produce how is spending getting us out of debt. I like how this has nothing to do with art :)
ReplyDeleteEveryone prolly knows more about the government than those idiots up there.
ReplyDeleteIan,i saw you once when you were taste like murder and it was pretty intense
