Here is a great exhibition that is only open for one more day!!! It's a fake pet store opened by Banksy, the graffiti artist. He uses animatronics (robots) to move around fake pets. You can read about it here:

No new blog assignment, but everyone who hasn't should catch up on their blog assignments and get ready to present their animations next week! I'll be at the MoMA today from 4-6PM for open studios to help anyone out. See you then!
Also, here is a fun event for Halloween at the MoMA tonight:
October 31
Figure Drawing Workshop

Happy Halloween!

Staring at the Sun
Hey everyone. So here's my Learning To Love You More post. There is actually a tradition of scientists and artists staring at the sun, including Sir David Brewster, the inventor of stereoscope, Joseph Plateau, inventor of phenakistoscope (pre-cinematic technology), as well as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (author of Faust, who also wrote a book about color) and the painter J.M.W. Turner. I only recommend it with the help of a camera though. Many of those who were curious enough ended up going blind.
See you in class!

Assignment #39 Take a picture of your parents kissing
This is my MAMA AND PAPA giving each other a nice kiss. How sweet. I figured since they both don't show much affection around the house, I can use this assignment as an excuse.
Various HW stuffs
Oh wow that last week went by FAST.
So first, I want to share this awesome site/video/thing.
It's a short film/animation thing called Food Fight by Stefan Nadelman and it reminded me of the animations we're making in class.
"Food Fight is an abridged history of American-centric war, from World War II to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict. Watch as traditional comestibles slug it out for world domination in this chronologically re-enacted smorgasbord of aggression."
It's so awesome and amazingly done and has a really interesting concept.
GO WATCH IT XD
As for the Learning To Love You More assignment thing, I found several of them interesting.
Assignment #49 Draw a picture of your friend's friend.
Assignment #45 Reread your favorite book from fifth grade.
Assignment #33 Braid someone's hair.
Assignment #30 Take a picture of strangers holding hands.
Assignment #27 Take a picture of the sun.
I went with an easy one at first, take a picture of the sun.
It's more like a setting sun.. but here it is,
I want to reread my favorite book from 5th grade, once I remember what book that was. The drawing of a friend's friend is a lot harder than I thought at first. And I also want to try the taking a picture of strangers holding hands thing, once I get the courage to ask two complete strangers to hold hands with each other...
I'm going to find someone's hair to braid tomorrow and take a picture of that.

I made the sign and taped it on my locker in school. I am protesting cruelty towards animals, particularly chickens.

REPair SOmething
So far I,ve only fixed a desk but instead of adding or creating something new I sawed right into it. I needed more leg space.
Maybe that counts. If not, whatver. I'll fix someother stuff before the week is over. I'm sure.
