     9/16, all we did was present our projects for time. I really liked the Frankenstein one because it was just an amazing animation and so different. It stood out to me more than any of the other ones. One that I was really interested in was the animation of aliens because I love a good comedy. I was really nervous while I presented, but I am sure glad that nothing messed up electronically. Everyone was seeming to have so many computer problems, but I am glad that I did not have any because I did not need any more stress. We also had to give insight to our group members on their project presentations also.

     9/18, we had a discussion on our tours of the different studios this week. As a student in a beginner classes, we all have to go and see different studios so that we know what it is going to be like in the future. We also had to give our teacher insight on what we like and what we dislike about group discussions and if we wanted to change groups. After that, we received our peer responses from our group members. I had some really good and insightful advise and comments. One of them discussed how my images were cropped very strange, but I did discuss how it messed up in giff when I was talking through my power point. The rest of the comments were very positive and it made me feel much better about my project because I did not like it at all. It gave me a confidence booster. We also discussed our new project topic which is ecology. We looked at a couple of artist who showed this through their work. Ones that really stood out to me were Andy Goldsworthy and Casto and Jeanne Claude. Andy made me think of photographing maybe a used car lot, construction site, or maybe even old building sites that have been their for a really long time while Casto and Jeanne Claude makes me think of building something in nature like a huge bird feeder or a dragon that wraps around trees to guard the woods. I'm not sure where all of these ideas are taking me, but I am going to keep brainstorming.
