Blog #8 Freestyle!
In keeping with the themes of art, empathy, reverence, music, and pranks, I chose to explore the concept of art. I find art is important not only because of obvious reasons, but because it is so varied and it brings out emotions or reactions in people that would normally never manifest in people. As an example, Vincent Van Gogh, the widely known artist was also well known for his ongoing battle with mental illness painted many beautiful paintings throughout his lifetime. It's interesting to note how many of his paintings had bright colors despite his mental battles, like his Sunflowers photo and his Bedroom in Arles. One of his last pantings, Wheat Field with Crows, show his continuing despair and is able to be seen by anyone viewing the painting. Art essentially brings the artist's imagination to life.

Ok, so I think this is a pretty good start, but I feel that you miss some important things with your blog, first you definitely didn't make the word requirement, and next I think you can back up your argument very well with some images or maybe external links to show that you really mean what you're saying.If you included the images of the paintings in your post it would really bring life to your post! And maybe you could make a connection or two to some games that are more art than game, like TGC's game "Journey". That game is supposed to be nothing but art that takes the player, more like viewer, on a journey through visual elation! Just some thoughts on how you can get a little more points!
