When I was creating my logo I had no idea what to create. I thought It was be a easy thing to create. But it took some time.

2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation.

My process of creating my logo wasn't that bad. At first i thought I do something simple but as i thought about it I felf that I should do something more cretive. I thought my logo some be more interseting than my initials, which was my first plan. My logo should represent what I love; money and shopping. 

3.What was the most important discovery you made in the creation of your logo?
The most important discovery I made when creating my logo, was it does't have to be perfect. And a logo is a symobol of you.

1.Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel

When i was craeting the color wheel i found it very fun, it really wasn't that had to create. just mixing colors together to get a new color. But when creatingt the value scale, it got quite difficult because when I did it i couldn't get pencil the way I wanted it.

2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?

I enjoyed working with the color wheel more because painting is fun, and mixing colors together to create new color are exciting and cool.

3.What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?

The most important discovery in the creation of these studies was taking your time because the first time I did the color wheel I sorta rushed but then i didn't like how it came out so I did it again. 

4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?

I felt the video added a lot of support to the written directions. It helped me know what to do plus more. I really enjoyed it.  

Project #1

I really enjoyed doing this first project, maily because I got to use my camera to take different pictures of the things around me. I loved seeing that these elements are all around me. I had many pictures to choose from.

Module 3

1. Describe Color and it's effects on emotions.
Color comes in different shades that has different meanings. Each color ties to a different feeling that causes emotions. For example the color red usually means anger. So when a artist uses a lot of red in his or her painting it most likely means they are trying to expression their feeling of anger.

2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?
The theoretical aspect of color that most fascinates me is the meaning of each color, like how we already know that when you see bright and excitings colors on a painting, you know the mood of thre painter is joy and happiness; vise versa when you see dark colors on a painting its means the painter could have been feeling a very dark emotion or sadness when the painting was created. It all flows together.

3. In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?
What made a big impact on me is that color can be difficult to control. Only because color can really take a big impact on ones emotions. When you look at the colors of a painting you start to feel the mood of the painter. and sometimes you can feel the emotion of a painter. 

4. In the Feelings video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?
What put a big effect on me and what i've always thought was cool is when a painter creates a pictue, no matter what way or angle you look at the painting its all the same. (you can see the whole picture, it follows you) Or when Leonarda da Vinci crated the Mona Lisa, her eyes follow where you go. 

Module 2

1. For each video and article list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

Aesthetics - This was all new and different to me so everything seemed like a key concept. But the one things that stood out was when Georg William Hegel said "The work of art is a sensible object not only for the sensible intition but only for the spirit...The beautiful is defined as the appearence or the sensible reflection of the idea, of the Absolute." 
Carta - This video as a whole had me a little confused because I can't connect the dots in where science and art combine.
CNN- What I found interesting in this article is that they explain how one sees a picture being three dimmensional; How the brain tricks one to think its three dimmensional. 

2. Which philosopher's theory on aesthetics do you feel is most important? Be sure to mention the philosopher's name, era (time in history), and contribution to the aesthetic theory in your response.

 I think Georg William Hegel of the late Enlightenment theories was more inportant because when he said this quote "The work of art is a sensible object not only for the sensible intition but only for the spirit...The beautiful is defined as the appearence or the sensible reflection of the idea, of the Absolute." to me he saying Art is a reflection of its artist and that is something I belive is 100% true.

3. What do you think about Changeux and Ramachandran scientific view of aesthetics and art? What was the most interesting fact you discovered from each speakers lecture? 

Changeux and Ramachandran scientific views were both interesting to me and they both had something type of different theory and that made it more interesting. What I enjoyed from Changeux is the MRI pictures from the brain and the emotion. I found it very cool that you can see that all from a picture, in the brain. What I learned from Ramachandran was that art isn't to create a realistic picture but is used to rearange or alter something to cause an affect on the brain.  

4. How do the videos and article relate to the readings in the text?

I alwasy find it helpful when there are videos to go with the text because then you don't just get a moving picture you get a better or different type of understanding to what the book has to offer.

5. What is your opinion of the films and article? How do they add depth to understanding of the topics in your reading in the text?

I enjoyed watching the aesthetics video because it was clean and understand and the video quality was great and I enjoyed Georg William Hegel's theory. The second video was interseting but the the speaker was hard to understand at times. These videos add depth because it gives you a visual and a clear understanding of whats being taught.
