Class Commentary April 2nd

Today we finally started viewing peoples projects. There wre some surprises and then some dissapointments and then some I don't knows. I really enjoyed Drake's piece. I thought it was a novel concept. It iis on the right track to be completed. I think it needs another revision with presentation. I really liked the idea of combining to genres of music. The problem, nae difficulty in interpreting art is that there are a thousand different ways to interpret it and there are a thousand different next steps. I could say the same for Joey's piece. I would have liked to have seen his creations set in a natural setting on a windy day. These innanimate objects that come to life in this poetic junction of time and space. I didn't understand David's piece. I think it's because I look for a story in everything. I look for the narrative. I need to connect parts. There needs to be a reason. A method to madness. Art for art's sake doesn't exist to me. I didn't understand what Chris Rock had to do with anything. I didn't see a connection. Chris Rock's story was about never knowing love. Yet the girl was talking about how David doesn't like to paint. Yet David's part was about directly connecting to the audience through visual sight. I think if there was going to be a story line or narrative, The piece should have been about David and female figure both opposing each other. It could have been silent. There could have been actual narrative or implied. There would have been an insurmountable force of tension in that piece.
