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 30th-Class Commentary

Interpret: to make meaningful connections between what you see in a work and what else you have seen/experienced.

This act of interpretation, I've noticed, always takes me a while. I basically look as if I am staring really hard or blankly at a piece..I'm really not though, it's a complext process. I don't like to just out right express what's on my mind when I look at something. I like to have this inner dialogue play out, basically I'm agreeing and arguing with myself. I was walking with Rachel earlier to class and we were discussing critiques. She made a comment to me that really made me think. "Sheldon, you always have the most interesting things to say about a piece of work, and what you do say is completely different from what anyone is thinking, almost as if you are able to see things in not only this light but several others. It's a great ability to have."

Maybe this inner dialogue I have with myself is my way of looking through thr different lights.
