Top Design Challenge
For this design challenge I decided to design my room as a reading center for young adults. This room could be put into a high school setting or even used as part of a public library. I have always enjoyed reading myself, and I want to teach high school English as well. I want to create somewhere were my students can go to relax and really enjoy reading. For many children reading can be like a chore. Hopefully in this room it will become a privilege.
Wall Color: I picked two colors from Sherwin-Williams. I want the bottom half of the wall to be painted " Major Blue". The top half of the wall will be painted "Fun Yellow". There won’t be a flat line that divides the two colors. The blue will be painted in a wave pattern across the wall.
There will be a large sandy colored rug that covers the floor. Along with the wall coloring, there will one full wall covered in book shelves. These shelves will be made out of cheap wood and then they will be painted. There will be two large floor lamps that give off relativity bright light. My seating arrangement is going to consist of lawn and beach chairs. These chairs will be the kind you wouldn’t mind to leave behind after a week at the beach. There will also be a small white picnic table. I plan on purchasing a small Igloo water cooler and keeping it filled with lemonade or water, so there will be a few options for refreshments. I am going to get a piece of white marker board and shape it into the shape of a surfboard. This board will be used as the writing center. Here students will be able to write down their favorite books and recommend authors to others.
I have designed this room to resemble a fun day at the beach. I love to sit on the water line with my favorite book in hand. So I decided that others would probably like to do the same.

First Exam/ Part 2/ Art Vocabulary Game

First Exam/ Part 2
Art Vocabulary Game
My game that I have created is a version of Hangman. The class will be split into four or five groups depending on the class size. Once the groups are settled, I will put up blanks that represent a phrase of term that we have covered. One at a time each group will get to guess a letter. If the guessed letter is a correct guess I will place that letter in its appropriate spot. If the guess was wrong a body part will be added to our "Hangman". If the group guesses correctly they get to continue until they guess incorrectly. Once the phrase or term is completed, points will be handed out to the winning group, but it isn’t over there. Here a little bit of trivia comes into play. To win the full amount of points the group members will then individually have to give a definition, example, or a piece of related material that corresponds with the phrase or term. To win the full ten points for the completed phrase or term every member has to answer the trivia question correctly for that particular turn.
Scoring: Every phrase or term used is worth 15 points total. If the phrase or term is completed correctly that group receives five points. If the trivia portion is all answered correctly the group receives ten points. But if the trivia is incorrectly answered the group only gets the five points.
The list of phrases and term:
art, design, craft, quality, creativity, originality, talent, media, techniques, styles, genres, issues, contexts, isms, periods, civilizations, artist, form, imagination, inspiration, nature, perfection, performing arts, paintings, sculpture, architecture, literature, music, theater, film, dance, focal point, line, color, shape, space, texture, perspective, pattern, rhythm, dynamic, intensity, unity, variety, contrast, scale, proportion, symmetry, asymmetry, comparative, 2-D, 3-D, myth, humanism, abstract, allegory, symbols, and signs

Art Article
Believe it or not, Southern Ohio hosts many art functions that may not be taken advantage by the local people. There are a few museums and an outstanding performance center located in this region. The Paramount Arts Center is located in Ashland, Kentucky. Although this center is not found in Ohio, many Ohioans make the trip to attend the events that are held at the Paramount.
The Paramount Theater, originally designed and built to show motion pictures, has provided an intimate venue for a variety of performances since it first opened in 1931. The vision for the theater is to create a cultural environment that reaffirms the area’s Appalachian tradition. The Paramount offers the best of the performing arts to its guests.
The calendar for the Paramount has some very interesting performances coming up. One of the most anticipated events is Backstage Players Production of Disney’s High School Musical. This production is a cover of Disney Channel’s smash hit movie musical. This movie is being brought to life on the Paramount’s stage.
This full length stage musical runs approximately two hours with an intermission. It contains songs from the Disney Channel movie soundtrack. The show will be performed on Thursday March 8, 2007, at 7:00 p.m, Friday March 9, 2007, at 7:00 p.m.; and Saturday March 10, 2007, at 7:00 p.m..
This musical will draw a large crowd based on the fact that it appeals to the younger and older generation. High School Musical, the movie, proved that it attracted young people to become interested in the performing arts, which is always a plus.

Art Review #2
Art Review #2

Fine Art 10503
Sculpture is defined as being the art of carving, welding, modeling, or otherwise producing figurative or abstract works of art. When one usually thinks of sculpture, he or she usually think about a large stone piece or something carved out of something else. As I was looking for a piece of sculpture to review, I ran along something very interesting. I found a liquid sculpture artist named Martin Waugh. I was really intrigued by his work and chose to take a closer look at the piece titled “Big Wet One Red”.
Liquid sculpture is a technique that is really unique. The art shown on the website are high resolution photographs of liquid in motion, captured with high speed flash photography. What is seen in the picture is exactly what nature created; the shapes and composition are not altered. The “Big Wet One Red” is a wonderful example at how challenging and un-controlling this process must be. This particular sculpture piece is shown in 1800x1200 px. Martin Waugh combines art and science to capture nature’s infinite beauty. He has always been intrigued by water.
The “Big Wet One Red” is a very colorful piece of sculpture. The large red lips are placed slightly off center to the right and claim the right to be called this piece’s focal point. The lips are a vibrant red that have small splashes coming off the lips. It looks as if someone who had on way too much lipstick puckered up and left behind their trade mark. Aside from the bright red lips, the sculpture has a light and airy feel about it. The remainder of the piece contains soft yellows, blues, and pinks. I think that since this sculpture is completely letting nature do its thing that the shape that was created here is something very interesting as well.
My interpretation of this sculpture goes mainly hand-in-hand with the most revealing title that Waugh placed on it. Unlike some works where the title can be misleading or slightly confusing, I think that “Big Wet One Red” was an excellent choice for this sculpture. To me the lips look like they belong to a woman who is excited about something. Red lipstick usually means excitement and passion. I liked that these lips are red, because it lets the imagination run wild thinking about where these lips are going and what these lips are going to do.
I know sculpture can be a narrow subject to look at sometimes, but I was able to find something completely new to me. There were many pieces of this liquid sculpture that I found fascinating, but I was completely taken back by “Big Wet One Red”. I think it was the level of fantasy that the red lips allowed the viewer to have.

Nature
Art as a whole is so interesting and is vital to our society. The nature aspect of art adds its own spark to the art category. Nature is one of the last wonders in the world that hasn't been taken over and completely changed by man. Nature serves as a great source of inspiration for artists for this reason. I'm sure that capturing nature as artwork is absolutely gratifying, because for that period of time you may allow yourself to join nature. It is one thing to draw a picture from imagination, but to be able to depict a true piece of art work, a piece of nature art, is incredible.
