yeah, so... i'm on spring break now!!!!!!
it's really weird to not have homework. i can just watch the first season of twin peaks that i got at the library (love the library!) for hours on end. until it's over and then i need to get the second season...
we screened all the senior films at the hollywood last night. it was pretty fun. my name was up on the big screen. it was tight fo sho.

oh yes, since you are dying to know - i finished my paper, but if you want to read it in it's entirety you will have to send in a formal request.

because i know you were so waiting for this.... here is the first half of my paper!

In this essay I will discuss the psychoanalytic approach to art interpretation; including the idea psychoanalysis has of the artist and artistic production, the basis for interpreting the meaning of works of art, and the relationship between art and psychoanalysis. I will be using Freud’s essays entitled “Jensen’s Gradiva,” “The Moses of Michelangelo,” and “The Uncanny” to help illustrate these relationships.

Sigmund Freud came up with the very idea that there is an unconscious motivation for artistic creation. Freud was committed to understanding and interpreting art and his view of art interpretation was to give meaning to the work of art itself, as well as figuring out why the viewer of the art was moved or affected by that particular work. The answer he came up with was that the work of art somehow connected with the viewers’ unconscious and caused some kind of emotional stirring. The essays that he wrote about art were written as illustrations for his theories. (Writings on Art and Literature, xi)

i had to draw this for my drawing final.
i like to take pictures way better than drawing.
btw - drawing was last term. i'm still bitter.

but guess what - i had photography this term and you wanna know what we had to do jimmy? we had to draw a picture of what we were going to photograph before we could take the picture. is that some kind of sick joke?!

not a problem

So, here i am blogging, i have a 5-6 page rough draft of a paper due at 9 am. i am getting an A in procrastination! here is what said paper is about, because you are dying to know.
drawing on "jensen's gradiva," "the moses of michelangelo," and "the uncanny," discuss the freudian/psychoanalytic approach to art interpretation. in the course of addressing this issue, consider, for example, the idea psychoanalysis has of the artist and artistic production, the basis for interpreting the meaning of works of art, the relationship between art and psychoanalysis, and/or the reason freud chooses to focus on specific works of art/artists. of the three essays, 'the uncanny' is peculiar for a number of reasons: discuss the essay and the manner in which it relates to freud's general approach to and interpretation of art.
what time is it????

nothing

i feel so unsafe.
