A). "Acknowledging the Lizard" "Make Art" and "Connect".
Acknowledging the Lizard is basically a take on how the part of our brains (the lizard brain) is essentially what controls our emotions when faced with a task, then the resistance is how we cope with the task, such as becoming angry or encouraging us to follow instructions. The “Connect” layer is all about how everybody on earth is connected and how we can use digital media to connect the future. As far as “Connect” goes, we can all make real connections with digital media and we can all interact with people that we wouldn’t have if this digital media didn’t exist. The “Make Art” layer is all about how the idea of “making art” is essentially the ability to create the un-created and use a new unused platform in order to create other new platforms and styles of art, which in turn allows creative thinking for future generations and other forms of art.
B). I feel that all of the layers that I summarized and all of the other layers are all connected to this blog and share an ideal purpose for what this class entails. For example, I feel that the “Make Art” layer is highly essential to this blog as well as the class. I feel like this is right, because that layer says that we as humans all have the ability to create not only a new form of art but also a new platform on which to display our art. This to me, seems like a vital role to any person with a major in Media Arts and Studies. This is because every single major in this program has a different platform on which to portray their own form of art. The best part of this, is that even though there are only a few platforms because of the limited number of majors, all of the people that are in this major have different views than their peers. This means that there is an unlimited amount of creativity associated with each person in each major. I feel like this is why the “Make Art” layer is so important to this class and blog assignment, because anyone can make whatever they want, and whatever those people make, is what becomes new forms or art for the future. I feel like this layer also helps not only me, but every single artist who has ever lived become not only a better artist, but also a better person. I believe this, because the more available forms of art there are, the more people who will strive to be artists, and the more artists there are, the more creative thinking will take place, hence creating yet more platforms to display an infinite amount of art on. I feel as if I’m a better artist and person because of this layer, as what I just said about platforms applies to me. I also feel like the “Connect” layer is associated with this blog assignment and class because it is essentially saying that digital media is connected all around and helps connect the world. One of the biggest proponents of this, is that this assignment is a blog, and a blog is definitely one of the best forms of digital media used to encapsulate more and more people into using new forms of media. This class is also teaching us forms of art all in which show new ways to connect the present to the future. Finally, the “Acknowledging the Lizard” layer pertains to this class and blog assignment, because with the use of the skills that we will and have gained from this course, we as people will be able to understand how to go about coping with what a possible out come of a task could be, and how to handle it emotionally and tackle it head on.
