Improved Essays
According to both videos watched, Ira Glass and Jake Parker have similar ideas. Ira Glass’ “On Being Creative” and Parker’s “Finished Not Perfect” both describe a starting point for, really, any artist. This can translate to personal work’s projects, the desired skill levels involved in each discipline, and the taste of each artist. This also involves a certain amount of knowledge on art history and pop culture, which helps artwork demonstrate content within the work, introducing a level of complexity and awareness.

Many of his work had a eye connection in the middle of one’s point of view, many types of geometric shapes, and had an linear and semi-abstract style (Patchwork Quilt).

    Dionysus is easily seen as the ‘mad, drunken god’ and has constantly be repressed,and been a symbol of activities and actions that should be repressed, by both history and society. However, the madness that the god of wine embodies should be nothing sort of celebrated as the ‘madness’ of Dionysus needs to be something we as humans strive towards. “Wine has in it something of the spirit of infinity which brings the primal world to life again (Otto 101), not speaking specifically of wine, becoming drunk with something, whether it be art, literature, or even compassion is the doorway to the true realities of life that are tucked away otherwise. Creativity, which is the singular thing that allows us to be truly free, is still greatly suppressed in our culture resulting in the loss of identity and potential artists that would only serve to better their environments.
