Visiting Artist!!!! Feb 25th 2010

I had recorded all but a few minutes of the discussion when I was switching the the memory cards.

The theory presented in the discussion was an interesting as well as a convincing argument on the interpretations of particular character shapes that distinguish the favorable to the rejected. Finding out that the visiting artist had once taught at Montserrat and had been the roommate of someone who had become a large part of the animation community (I don't remember his name offhand).

To be honest I was disappointed when it ended because it had been so intriguing, but as soon as I can get my camcorder to connect with my Mac I plan on uploading the vid and getting back in contact with the Dean of students who had talked to me just following the event.

I hate the idea of being late with assignments but as long as I'm able to get them done the saying better late than never comes to mind...

I had read about Second Life long before march 1st but I hadn't read the full assignment that said that we had to write a response to it, I know, not an excuse.

Response:

The style of the writing in the article was abnormal and I found it difficult to get myself to read every single word and found myself skimming over its contents.
What I did find interesting was that some people actually use Second Life as a means of making a living through avatar to avatar transactions. I must admit that I'm tempted to try this myself since soon after going through this article I created my own avatar via the free membership and once I'm use to the setup I think that I might just try a few transactions myself. *-^__^-*
