This documentary is interesting. I am currently watching and it's already bringing up something that's been on my mind for a while:

-media literacy is important
-media manipulation has been a thing for a very long while
-it seems like it is getting more difficult to discern real from fake but I don't know what it felt like to be an average person around when the printing press or cameras were invented. But, I do remember Photoshop.

I majored in humanities, mostly because at that time the Air Force Academy didn't offer a major in Russian...so I minored in that.

All that humanities schooling at a military academy, plus all the mandatory engineering/math/science courses mean that when I see a car roll by at night on The Strip, and it's got purple lights installed on the belly to shine on the pavement so that it looks like some alien sci-fi vehicle...I can recall all the history of the visual arts (tache, sfumato, impressionism, chiaroscuro, cubism, yadda-yadda-yadda) as well as the history of science, electromagnetic radiation, optics, human vision...which allows me to richly, fully, and completely understand and appreciate how stupid that is, lol!

I'm old, but not to the point that this music is too loud:

August is American Artist Appreciation Month! We’re celebrating Corita Kent, also known as Sister Mary Corita! The acclaimed artist and teacher used painting and calligraphy to convey ideas about peace, racial harmony and social justice.

Lesson 3 The Power of Corita Kent’s Calligraphic Art in our free Rebel Hearts Curriculum Guide features a hands-on Visual Arts lesson suitable for grades 9-12 based on Sister Mary Corita’s artwork. It’s a powerful tool to help students find their voice through multi-media artwork.

You and your students can learn more about Sister Mary Corita / Corita Kent, her revolutionary protest art, and her time as a nun in the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary with award-winning documentary Rebel Hearts and the Rebel Hearts Curriculum Guide.

If I can create all these practical shots from my Living room on a surface the size of an A3 sheet of paper imagine what I could do if I had a studio.

I might have to give all this up very soon if I can't find paid opportunities, I really want to turn my fortunes around and take this photography much further and need some doors to open, if you know any businesses that would my style of work please share this post.

Yasunao Tone, a composer and artist who bridged the gap between music and visual arts, has died at age 90. Here's @ArtNews's tribute to the cerebral, experimental and highly influential sound maker, who described his work as like "a parasite without a host," and of whom Yoko Ono once said: “I think people will be surprised to know that the usual notion of Asian music will be totally destroyed when they listen to his music or read his scores. He is not Asian. He is Martian.”
