Beautiful vs. Sublime

Regret

Thoughts are shadows of feelings

Down from the sky, falls the darkness.

It falls onto the ground, spreading like the water that brings life to the world.

But this blackness carries something different.

It envelopes the thoughs of everybody.

They become bound to their shadows, who walk the world in darkness.

Moral Culpability vs. Freewill

Isolation vs. Solitude

I change myself, I change the world

As change comes to engulf the world, inside, we yearn to change as well. The universe may be expanding, but from our perspective, we see it enclosing us into our own world. As scientists try to see smaller and smaller, to see what forms our bodies, we fail to see what our world forms as one of the smallest planets in the galaxy. And as the universe expands, we become smaller and smaller. But unlike other planets, we are everchanging, trying to go to new heights to see if we can find our place, even if we are only a minor footnote in the grand scheme of things.

Thou

ught

The arch to another world appears. He passes under it and finds himself in a room. A room that has only one way out, the way he came in. He sees the a river that passes under a wall. He decides to try his luck, so he swims under the wall. As he passes under, ther water turns a different color as he becomes liberated, from his past world.

Above him, he sees a bridge that leads to nowhere, and the yellow path that joins both sides horizontally. He begins to swim down the river and looks forward to starting his new life on the other side of the wall, and wonders if he will ever cross the yellow path, over the rest of the people trying to free themselves.

Snake that cannot shed

d its skin, perishes

I responded to many of the prompts in either a poem or a short story. I talked a lot about water and the ocean in them as well.

I drew a picture of rain falling with a river running below, and I wrote a poem about the rain clouds.

My favorite prompt was the sublime because it was very abstract and experimental. It allowed me to express myself in a different way than what I’m used to.

My favorite material was the acrylic painting we did on small pieces of canvas. I really liked this because I don’t do paintings very often, so it was fun to do something different.

I took some risks in my writing by writing some poems, which I don’t consider myself particularly good at, but I think it worked out. I also took some risks in my sketch when I drew a maze, because it was abstract.

I noticed that in a lot of my pieces, I use the whole piece of paper. I also sketch quite lightly, which can be seen in both the maze and the triangle with the sun and moon.

I think my energy was pretty consistent. Many of them were related to nature, or had natural colors in them. The ocean piece, the rain above the river drawing, the river flowing in my 3 dimensional piece.
