Today we watched two movies. One about different unique homes and another about a sculpture.
A few word that best describe tonight's movies are:
Identity
Home
Inspiration
Imagination
Time
Patience

I'm this many *Holds up 5 fingers*!
The video was insightful. The speaker made several points about how playfulness can help your mind wander and allow you to come up with great ideas. The speaker explained that as we grow older, we become embarrassed to share our ideas. However, these ideas can be our best ideas! The speaker had the audience (adults ranging from 30 and up) to draw the person sitting next to them in a short span of seconds. After the time was up, the audience looked at their portrait and began to apologize to their neighbors. The speaker explained that this reaction was similar to other adults who did the exercise. However, children who did the exercise did not express any apologizes but happily showed their masterpieces to anyone wanting to see them. The speaker continued to explain that we should not be embarrassed with our ideas and to be more playful!
For this exercise, my sister and I decided to create a tent. Celine and I took our twin beds, propped them up and draped sheets across them. We then placed several blankets and pillows underneath our tent. After our tent was all set up, we began to play various patty cake games!! We also talked about princesses and princes. We had a great time!

Senses
Deaf
I lasted about 5 minutes without my sense of hearing. I tried to watch the Titanic and had a hard time reading the caption and viewing the video. While reading the captions, I lost the visual aspects of the video! I also realized that I had to use my imagination to hear the different voices of each character in my head. I am extremely thankful to have all my senses and realized how lucky I am within that short span of the loose of hearing.
As for adding an extra sense, I would like to add the sense of knowing if someone is being dishonest or honest.

Class 6 (Networking at the RAM)
Today we had a networking event at the RAM instead of class. I learned about the various backgrounds of the web designers of Refresh Indy. It was interesting to learn about how they became interested in web design. I also learned how some of the web designers learned how to create web sites. I found out that many did not receive any direct web design education. The web designers I talked to were mainly self taught and learned information from friends.
The event at the RAM was insightful and a benefit to my educational experience.

Class 5
Class five was very interesting! Every class seems to be very unexpected. Today, I was excited to introduce my twin sister to a world in New Media with Beth Lykins! She was pretty excited to learn more about my major and we waited patiently for Beth Lykins to arrive to teach the class.
We sat and waited patiently as the time came for class to start. However, we waited longer than usual for Beth Lykins to get to class. Surprisingly this was part of the lesson she was going to teach the class. The clock read 6:12 p.m., twelve minutes past the start of class and Beth Lykins walked into the classroom. However, her entrance did not come with a vocal greeting. I knew at this point that class would be interesting and Celine was in for a treat!! I waited with curiosity as Beth Lykins sat at the front of the room, logging into the computer, and downloading files to the computer desktop.
The files were sound files of Beth Lykins on her cell phone, introducing the class topic of TIME. What is TIME? The proposed question to the class made me ponder the structure that time gives us. A student expressed time as an obsession. However, I browsed around the room and noticed that most of the class did not have a wrist watch.

30. Why do we like music that has structure? (Bradleyemoore)
In my opinion music flows better with structure. We are so used to the structure of song having an intro, chorus, verses and bridge that if we hear anything else it sounds strange.
21. What if I liked seafood? (nitsuj)
You would be able to enjoy this wonderful restaurant in Texas called the Boiling Pot! Yum!
13.What if people randomly broke out in dance and song? ( yenningcomity)
I believe it would be hard to concentrate during class if people were randomly breaking out into dance and song. However, if that was normal then I suppose we would be used to having people break into song during a deep conversation, class, etc.!
29. What if God was one of us? (greenen485blog)
Alanis Morissette would have never came up with the song, What if God Was One of Us.
14. What if I was Batman? (joshuainteractive)
You would have a wicked awesome car, save lots of lives with your knowledge and skills to fight evil.
