Without are what would we have. Art in one of the cornerstones for all thing great. No matter what form of art you choose whether it be painting, abstract, words, music, anything and everything can be turned into art. Art is in the eye of the beholder, is something that I constantly have to reassure myself of sometimes. Especially with modern art, Viewing what I saw inside the museum brought me to challenge what I thought of as art, and got me to change my views, and that to me is a finite definition on humanities.
What did you choose?
I choose the SFMOMA, because I have never been there and I thought it would be interesting to see something out of the norm.
What do you see or hear or feel or think of in the choice you made?
I heard a lot of people conversing and trying to find meaning, I smelt canvas, and various other smells of construction materials whether they be paint, glue, or tar. I think that the choice was interesting, and I learned a lot.
What is the subject of the work?
Modern, Abstract, and an eclectic array of different forms of “Artwork”
What is your choice about?
My choice represents the different between what is considered art, and what is art. Anything can be art, but in society only some things are called art.
What led you to your choice?
Honestly, curiosity, and a general yearning to know more about modern art.
What do you think or feel about this choice?
I feel that everyone should test their limits and take the plunge into the SFMOMA, it was extremely eye opening to see all the differences in what was considered art; From a single piece of duct tape strewn on a blank canvas, to a beautiful painting that must have taken months.
Why do you feel this way?
Because I have spent quite a while examining the art, and these are the conclusions that I have drawn.
What else would you like to know about this choice?
I would like to know what inspired a lot of the artists. Drugs? Love? Boredom?
While reading blogs, I stumbled across Granville R Morris’s blog,.
( http://arsenal-clockendgooner.blogspot.com ) and read his assignment 2A all about Fort Ross, and I astonished at the stories, and all the history that is held there. I would one day LOVE to visit Fort Ross.

2a, USC
The main reason that USC pertains to the study of humanities is, the school is a great part of our history as a state, and it has educated some great minds that are now living throughout the world educating others, and developing, and or creating and implementing tangible items, or ideas.
What did you choose?
I chose USC, because I think that school has an interesting history, and I like to watch the Trojans play football.
What do you see or hear or feel or think of in the choice you made?
I think I would like to learn more about the history of USC
What is the subject of the work?
I see the early 1900’s architecture, I see college student strewn among the grass, and reading under trees. I hear the roaring of the USC crowd on Friday nights and the smell of the sultry Southern California air.
What is your choice about?
My choice is about a historical school that offers many different things to many different people. It is founded on a legacy of excellency in education, as well as social economics.
What led you to your choice?
What led me to choose UCS was just the fact that I wanted to learn more about the campus, and the people who attend/have attended.
What do you think or feel about this choice?
I have learned a lot about my choice. One main thing that I have learned is that the school has definitely strived to make some big changes in the last 20 years, both in the way students live, and learn.
Why do you feel this way?
I have done an extensive amount of research on this subject, and I am projecting my findings.
What else would you like to know about this choice?
The last an final thing that I would like to know about this choice, is I would like to take a tour of the college, 50, or even 30 years ago, just to see how they have grown, and changed.
While browsing through the blogs for our class, I ran across Dana’s blog. In her 1C post she was talking about how she thought Paulo’s work related to our humanities studies, and I fully agree with her.

1C
1. Tell us their name and something about them.
2. Tell us 2 things from each person you learned regarding Paulo Freire.
3. Tell us how this information will relate to our study of humanities
1. I stumbled across Alfredo, and Lori's blogs.
I learned that Alfredo is taking this class as a GE requirement, and he is unsure of where he wants to transfer after the JC, and that Lori is taking the class to get her AA. They both live about 20 miles from the JC.
2. Alfredo taught me that Paulo lived a lie of poverty and exile, and also that he didn't start writing books until he was released from jail.
Lori taught me that two of Paulo's main ideals were that It is just as important for the teacher to have the desire to teach as it is for the student to desire to learn, and that teaching flows both ways.
3.After reading just two other peoples work, it made me realize how much I didn't learn by just researching it by myself. The information that I gained whilst reading other peoples blogs helped me gain a better understanding of the subject. I will make it a point to read other peoples work every time before I submit my own to make sure I didn't miss any crucial points.
