I thought today's class was really interesting. The quick essays I found really helpful. I thought it was interesting how we all have read the same redings and yet have completely different outlooks on what memeory is--which to me is th essence of memory. Amy and I were given the same questions, and agreed often, but where we differed neither of us was incorrect, just different. Memory is not one aspect, one framework, or one result. Which i think we all need to keep in mind--we all need to be a bit freed from attempting to be "right". Memory, even when taken from a psychological perspective, is still very personal.
I found Fran very helpful too, and her perspective on the photos we looked at reminded me that I may be doing a page that I think is absolutely perfect and an accurate representation of what I am trying to portray, but its all completely subjective.
Sidenote: Where the heck is this artist store where I can get the paint pen thing?
Did you find the pen yet?
