Poetry is an Art.

          Today in English Class, we had a substitute teacher named Mr.Ott. I didn't know what to expect at first, but he turned out to be a pretty cool teacher. We read some classic poetry, which was really hard to understand, but then we read some more recent poetry, and it still had the same impact as the classical stuff, but it was way easier to understand and it was more entertaining. I read some poetry in Spanish, and overall it was a fun class, and I'd like to do it again.

Second Wind.

  This is one of the most unique and well done videos that I've seen in a long time. I liked everything about the video. The animation, the music, the storyline, everything was great. I think a few of the messages that this story is trying to portray is jealousy and friendship. The cat got jealous that the man was playing with the electric thing, but in the end, when the electric thing almost killed the man the cat got angry and defended his friend. It was a really good story.

              Today in class we watched a techno video called Ninja Attack. It was a pretty cool video. I really liked the colors. I also like how the animations went perfectly with the music. It was pretty interesting how the girl was a ninja, it's different. Also the way the cowboy used the discs as weapons was really creative. It was y overall a pretty interesting video.

Let Go.

Today in English class I saw a music video for the song Let Go by the Japanese Popstars. It was a REALLY trippy video. At one point of the video I had to turn away because it actually hurt my eyes. I think it is amazing how it is all hand drawn. Finally I think it is a perfect video for the song.

Banksy

            Today in class I saw Banksy's work for the first time, and I really liked it. I think it's crazy how he did it all with spray paint, because the detail in the flowers is amazing. I think the man in the art is a middle-eastern civilian who is rioting against the police. If he wasn't holding the flowers, I think there would be a grenade in his hand. The flowers symbolize peace, and that instead of fighting their government, they should be peaceful with it. I think he is in black and white because he has no hope, but the flowers are really colorful, because they are hope.

Sorry I'm Late

This video is really cool. It has great editing, and I highly recommend it. I might want to make one of these videos in the future.
