Idea behind (skid_concept)

By definition...

Main Entry: 1skid
Pronunciation: \skid\
Function: noun, verb
Etymology: perhaps of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse skīth "stick of wood"
Date: circa 1610

1: one of a group of objects (as planks or logs) used to support or elevate a structure or object
2: to apply a brake or skid to : slow or halt by a skid

I could take a couple of different perspectives on this idea. One being, my ideas are used to support and progess something towards bettering itself. Two, I apply a break to myself. Acting without or before thinking only brings unecessary complexity and consequences. Or it could just be a simple play on my name...

Insight.

I'm a moderately expressed extrovert, who thinks outloud. I like to expand upon my emotions. I'm fatigued by a lack of stimulation. I live life to understand it. I am an idealist. A conceptualist. I match my artistic style to French Art Nuveau. I share an afinity for flat dynamic silhouettes, with subtle accents. I have a love for drawing. I never start a project without fully sketching out my ideas.

I visualize the completed elements as awhole through use of my imagination. Before whn I studied architecture I didall of my drawings by hand. It is said that there are some thigns a computer cando better than the hand. I believe it is the other way around. Hand drawings are beautiful and bring line to life. A new element is added to the picture, human vulnerability in making mistakes.

January 28th- Class Commentary

Having had a chance to view most everyone's Invention experiments I can give some insight and interpretation that I saw and found. I thought the was this amazing contrast between each of the projects and how each student chose to present and what their intentions were. I know that Rachel has a love for photography. It showed in her compositions. Especially with respect to light being received in the pieces. That's exactly what was happening. The elements of her project were receiving this light as this quasi saving grace attraction. Or atleast that's how it felt to me. Goodness was shining through not only to attract your eye your but also to bring certain elements to life. There was one photo that I completely loved. Light is pouring through in a line aboe the banister and there is a shadow of the labels on the wall. You don't see the actual labels, so it makes me wonder what other world has she created? What exists off the plane?
I think Drake's piece stood out to me the most though. I found alot of his compostitional elements creating this excellent forshadowing event. I saw it as a map with a fork in the road. Starting with the green apple turning black. Symbolic of the end of a life. A fork in the road. Move on to the egg and the piece of raw chicken. Which came first? The chicken or the egg? It is also forshadowing death and transformation. The chicken used to be an egg. Technically they are one in the same. Or you can the other path from the fork in the road which literally leads you to a fork wrapped up laying on top of a photo of George Bush. I take this lierally as Bush's time being wrapped up. Stick a fork in him he's done. And then the path extends beyond the table with the papertowels. Its leading away from the struggles that exist on the table, but to what? The path just suddenly stops.
