Raul Cuero's Interview about Creativity: Aplication

Aplication:

It was a very inspirational video, since I am a minority who has also faced discrimination. Even thought discrimination is not a nice thing to deal with, it can teach us important lessons in life and push to discover things about human nature. It has help me to overcome what he called loco attitude or also known universal consciousness. In other words, understand that the notions of limits and rules society set are just human creation.

I do not agree that technology like electronics are bad to stimulate a creative mind. I think is a whole new level to stimulate creativity, it helps the minds of many communicate and  explore new frontiers. The problem is that our society is very focus in fulfill objectives and we ignore most of what life can bring us. Set goals is an  important key to succeed but by getting obsessive with the goals makes us forget that life is more than that.

I do not really think creativity is a process, because I believe everyone is creative. It is just that some people are better showing off theirs.

Cuarto Norte and Multimedia

Comments:
Juan Carlos Delgado's Works are very impressive. He just not display his sculpture skills, he also use his engineering knowledge to add on into his sculptures. This invites the audiences to experience his sculpture with more than just eyes. He controls the environment in his gallery in order to affect the audience sense of touch by displaying his first two sculpture in a cold place able to create a sense of stillness, while the last sculpture will be in  a warmer
place that will create a sense of fluidity.

Relation with Multimedia:
Cuarto Norte is multimedia, because Juan Carlos Delgado use time and tools in synergy to interact with the audience. A sculpture is not multimedia, but by controlling the effects of ice and fire he is able to interact with the audience. Because he is able to time control the process in which his sculptures produce ice or fire, in a way he is narrating us a story by using the ice process in his first two sculptures and the use of fire in the last sculpture.

First Feelings,

I am a little bit nervous about the class. My friend took this class and told me that there were plenty of papers and quizzes based on art history, things that are in my comfort zone. For my surprise Mr. Echeverry changed the course scheme into a more project base course, and projects are not usually my strong points.

About me,

I am Bryan Fong, an international student from Panama.  I studied in Panama until high school sophomore year, then my parents decided to send me to Rhode Island and finish my high school education. After my 2 years in Rhode Island, I concluded that I hate snow and wanted to keep my education in the United States. I decided to attend to the University of Tampa, majoring in accounting.

Expectations,

Since my major is accounting, and it is very straight forward. My expectations in this class is to explore new alternatives and see more of what life is about.
