Vandalism? Or Awesomeness?

Ok, due to the title you be thinking, "Oh crap it's another vandalism rant!" Well sort of, and I apologize. But honestly, no one should consider this vandalism:

GODZILLA!!

So how amazing is that?! Someone managed to graph Godzilla, a Sky scraper, and an Airplane –– on a freaking calculator!!!!!!!!! How talented is that??!!!!!! One heck of a way to spend a math class too. The story behind it all is basically a student took my math teacher's calculator, and spent the entire class doing this. Talented . . . I think yes!

So the olympics, eh? Wow, Canadian moment right there! But I mean hey, they've been doing pretty well this year!! Of course so has Russia, must be their home turf and all. However I still stand strong in my belief that Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands, or America will pull through!! So far the dutch men have one 8/9 gold medals for skating. Or so I've been informed.

Ok, so right now, I'm like soo bored! Which seems to be true of me every time I'm writing this. In my defense I normally write this when I have spare time, or I'm bored with whatever I'm doing. So today's boredom class, well not really a class, but SCIENCE FAIR!!! So basically I've already been judged, already been graded, and I still have to sit here another hour. Oh well, hey look! People I actually know! Well I will write more later.

Hey all! It's me again! So anyhow what happened was yesterday I had the Science Fair and started writing my blog, but never finished it. You may think, "Uh it can be however long you want it to be" if you thought, ha! You're wrong!! I have a requirement of 300-500 words. Annoying, but I get by.

Anyhow, just finished an Odyssey test!! How fun is that right? I did pretty well, not as well as I had hoped however. I really want to know what I got wrong, plus my computer wasn't working. Thus if there were an additional few questions, I may have missed them. Me being me though, I didn't complain about it not working. So now I have a mediocre score. Oh well.

Sorry, really boring post so far. But what can I say? If I typed everything that came to mind, oh boy! That would not end well!! And no, I'm not going to give an example, that would totally undermine my point!

So anyone out there from the east coast? I hear you guys actually got snow!! Congratulations!!!! 14-16 inches right? Even some sleet/hail/snow in Georgia! Mission accomplished! Poor Florida though, still about 78º F. Maybe someday.

Well bye all!!

Vandalism or Art?

Vandalism or Art?

This would be a subject heavily argued by some. Is street art vandalism? Or is it a new form of art? Art is always changing and taking on new forms. Only a few centuries ago a painting by Mark Rothko would be shunned, but it became famous art. So how do you determine if it is vandalism or not? Some say the criteria that the art encompasses may define it as vandalism; writing or drawing some accusing towards a shop or person. For those who live in America it can be considered freedom of speech. It is a way to express ourselves. We may be told go for a run, draw on paper, create your masterpiece on a canvas. Is that really expressing ourselves? 

For example, Banksy. You may not know of this artist, but here is one of his works. This image defines  the nature of street art in my opinion. Isn't that where street art all began, cave art? Others may argue no, but I say yes. For the caves were filled with people, all with different opinions(if we say they had different opinions). The image depicts the image being washed away, being cleaned up. The Great Hall of Bulls is famous, well I hope you know that. In Lascaux France the Cave of Bulls has become a symbol for the earliest art. In Banksy's picture it depicts cave art as the first street art or graffiti. If that is so, then isn't it vandalism? Well that's what the image seems to be depicting.

Even in my quaint little town excitement still manages to blossom. This beautiful mural now has its own picture frame, so no damage can come to it. I feel as if this picture portrays where I live and the point I was trying to make previously. When this was up for only a short while one of the store owners proclaimed that it was vandalism. The store owner wanted to sue Banksy and wash away the mural. Fortunately not many agreed with him and the mural still stands gallantly on the wall. It was art and added a sense of completion to our little town.

Well thanks again to all my readers! I hope I haven't bored you too much with the subject I'm writing about!
