Ms.Coffee. The website that was required for us to go on would not seem to corroperate when I was trying to get on it. Also, the post under this is actually Post #13. I don't know how to change it.

Post #12


I am nostalgic for this roller skate and the skating rink because they both bring back good memories and still will bring many more in the future. Me and my family would go to the skating rink and have a fantastic time there. We always go to the Martin Luther King Jr. Skating Rink around late Janurary. My brother, sister, cousins and I would watch skating movies the night before we go to the skating rink so that we could learn some moves. We watch movies like Roll Bounce & Atl. The best memory that I've experienced at the skating rink was when I was trying to do a move from Roll Bounce and created a pile up. Also, when I finally learned to skate backwards. This is why I'm nostalgic for roller skating.

This artist would be considered postmodern because his artwork involves things that is in today. Another reason why Tom Friedman would be considered a postmodern artist is because his sculptures are made up of everyday objects. Tom has artwork that is made out of pencils and only pencils. He also have an artwork made of cigarette butts. This guy is awsome with his artwork. By far one of the best.

This wonderful piece of art was created by an artist who's name is Tom Friedman. He created this in 1996 and it is untitled, but in parentheses it reads (Polystyrene Tower. This guy was born1965 in St. Louis, Missouri. Friedman is still alive today. I chose this artwork because it looked interesting. This piece of art looks as if something was pouring out of another something, but no one knows where its coming from. Its pretty interesting

This stereotype is about emo/gothic people. It says that this guy likes to dress as an emo boy & make fun of emo's by acting out the stereotype. In my perspective, this artwork is saying that all emo's/ goth's  are depressed. Notice how they have the word depressed in parentheses. I think they put it like that to say like emo's don't even know what depress means because some of them are cold blooded. This would be a stereotype because it seem as if all emo's are depressed, but little did we know they aren't.

Ms. Coffee, I couldn't find a postmodern piece of artwork. I really didn't understand the concepts of the postmodern visual strategies that were discussed in class because I wasn't there. With the websites that you gave us on the back of the blog assignments, I still couldn't seem to find what was instructed to find because I don't know how to use those websites. I couldn't even find nothing on Google..I know that its go to be something out there about postmodern strategies, but I just couldn't find anything.
