Blog#15 Assignments
The most challenging assisgnment that I have done in my media arts 11 class was the printing press which took about a week and a half to do. The most interesting part was that i was able to use two different colours for my project as "Chef Paws", and it turned out great with the black/red. This would be a good experience for next years class to get there hands on and too learn about the future logos.

Blog#14 Blockbuster
Blockbuster starts to sell alot of movies during christmas because it is a holiday. Any person will buy a movie at any prise for the child during the holiday season including christmas. When they sell the movie at blockbuster there prises are acually a little lower then any other store that sells the movie. Example, a movie called Narnia came out last week before christmas comes and they are selling it for $34.99 but, why not release the movie in September or October. Everyone will Buy it during Christmas as a gift for kids.

Bllog#13 Andy warhol
http://hauteconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/andy-warhol-campbell_soup-can-121207-1.jpg
This picture is by Andy Warhol is called "Campbell's Soup". I like this picture because it is big and it stands out with the bright red colour and it has a lot of deal on it. This is a logol for a soup company and he used this logol as art, and many people wanted it for alot of money. This style of art is pop art and i really enjoy looking at pop art. When i think of The painting it gives me the image of Andy Warhold name and that is a good way of having people to remember his work. Therefore I like this art becuase it reminds me of Warhol and his new style of art in the 1900's.

Not just one geometric shape, but many different shapes, that can make the face look like it has two faces added on.

Blog#11 (Spaghetti story)
The BBC receives a mixed reaction to a spoof documentary about spaghetti crops in Switzerland.
First broadcast 1 April 1957 and was getting people to believe that pasta was actually growing on tree's which even convinced me for a few seconds. This joke, narrated by distinguished broadcaster Richard Dimbleby, featured a family in Switzerland carrying out their annual spaghetti harvest for food in old fastion, black/white colour video. The voice used in the video sounds like a old british man is speeking in proper language. The theme makes it even more believable to the viewers with the country and farmers clothes. the wording was good and convincing as well when he says that Italians make the best. Therefore, the april fools was a success.

Blog#10 Marshall McLuhan
Marshall is an interesting man, he says that,
"After three thousand years of explosion, by means of fragmentary and mechanical technologies, the Western world is imploding. During the mechanical ages we had extended our bodies in space. Today, after more than a century of electric technology, we have extended our central nervous system itself in a global embrace, abolishing both space and time as far as our planet is concerned. Rapidly, we approach the final phase of the extensions of man - the technological simulation of consciousness, when the creative process of knowing will be collectively and corporately extended to the whole of human society, much as we have already extended our senses and our nerves by the various media."Marshall McLuhan - Understanding Media (1964).
Interesting facts about Mcluhan would be that he Canadian educator, philosopher and a scholar of english literature for people. He studied media ecology and uses a word from his saying that "the medium is the message." H ewrote books explaining how to use medium to media. McLuhan contrasted this with TV, which he claimed requires more effort on the part of viewer to determine meaning. He is trying to undrstand media. And he is a great influence to people in Canada today.
