Crunch Time
This past week I discovered an artist named Simon Strong who
uses composites to explore his memories, and anxieties he faced as a child. I
found him on the 500 BlogSpot website, and I started looking more at his work.
Since learning how to composite in Digital craft, I wish I had the time to
change my project up to show my dreams the way I envisioned in the beginning of
the semester. Even though I found a new way to explore this project, I am happy
I forced myself to go through the motions of analyzing these dreams.

I was really happy to have gotten a chance to see more
images from Gordan Parks. I like learning about our history through
photographs, and I feel as if they are more important as the years pass, because
younger generations are often not taught in school in depth about slavery,
segregation and the civil rights movements. I remember being in grade school
and not learning much about black history, only during the month of February. I think art plays a large role in making viewers
aware of situations and sparking the interest of people like me, who can be positively
influenced by these visual statements.
