Blog Assignment 4A:

Acknowledge the Lizard:

            This section of Seth Godin’s article discusses the inherent resistance in our minds that wants to stop us from really exploring our creativity. It says that in order to really explore our creativity we must acknowledge this resistance so that we can begin to ignore it.

Learn:

            This section of Seth Godin’s article talks about how we must begin to learn not through means of school and brainwashing but rather our own exploration and everyday experiences in life.

Connection:

            I think these two layers can be connected to my blog in a multitude of ways. For one, some of these blog entries are really making me think deeper about myself as an artist than I may have thought without them. By doing so it sometimes makes me have to think about certain opinions I have and really have a tough time making that decision because of that “resistance” in my head. I think the blog also helps us explore some of the things that we really enjoy and analyze and relate them to our artistic expression. This definitely connects them to our “learning” experiences and may make us look at some of our favorite things in new ways.
