I believe the documentary we saw relates to the reading because of the thought process that went into the creation of the pieces. It’s a simple idea, but here me out. I think that both artists have some sort of idea in their heads, they don’t simply just do it. There is a formula to…

I feel that my project connects to the environment by the emotions portrayed in the narrative. I believe the colors and sounds have a very strong impact on a person because it “warms” the room which the piece is in up in a strange way. That the feeling that something so bright can be in…

Jackson Pollock is an artists who challenges all of art’s principle’s in terms of what is considered to be talented execution and content. His artwork is amazing to some and grotesque to others. Truly a, “love it or hate it” artist. His artwork of layered paint splatters rivals works of Da Vinci in terms of…

Overall, I thought the article had a lot of interesting ideas and facts of Jackson Pollock. For an example the article states, “He new the difference between a good gesture and a bad one.” I think this is very hard for artists to distinguish in their work, and for him to be able to do…

I found the article about Jackson Pollack very interesting. It was well detailed and was very well written. I like hearing pieces about artists and find what people have to say very fascinating. The only problem I had was the picture links. Either the article was kind of old or the links themselves were broken…

M. C. Schmidt was a great speaker, I really enjoyed the enthusiasm he had for what he does. The sounds they use in their compositions are brilliant. Its amazing how they can take sounds of surgeries, and a violin bow on a rat cage into obscurely beautiful sounding beats. I thought their visuals were really…

The lecture we attended was a detailed introduction into the history of, noise music. The lecture was entertaining to say the least. A seldom, well marketed art form in the world of music, its elements of using unconventional sounds from unconventional sources, can be seen in a great deal of modern music from all genres….

How can I describe what it was like to see Marshall Schmidt? – Its pretty near impossible. I was pretty blown away with not only his incredible conceptual musical ideas, but also his absolutely charming personality. He is such an entertainer and an absolute joy to be around. His lecture was probably the funnest I…

I thought the M.C. Schmidt lecture was very interesting and unique. I learned a lot about music concret such as the origin and the importance of timbre. The first piece he presented, I think it was called “Three Guitar,” was really cool especially since I couldn’t even tell he used guitars in it. It amazed…

I LOOOOOVVEDDD it. interesting, fun, the tracks sounded amazing! -Steph

I really liked the panel. I thought it was informative and entertaining at the same time. Mr. Schmidt was an interesting character and I enjoyed that he was so laid back for the lecture. I thought his explanation on Music Conoet (is that spelled right?) and Pierre Shafer was very informative and expanded my knowledge…
