Reading week 4

I was reading on Orca's this week and all the controversy that is happening with Sea World. They have found from an Orca that is 106 years old, that Orcas do live much longer than previously believed. Sea World had told people that they live to an average age of 15 and that they do not need to swim long distances. Many die at no older than 5 in captivity. The oldest Orca in Sea World lived to 20 years old. With this found out they have studied the old Orca and found that they do need to swim long distances for their physical and mental health. This is inspiring because it brings up another reason to question everything we are told. In art I constantly have to question myself and others. Why am I doing this? Why this way? Is there a better or easier way? What does this artist mean by this piece? What am I seeing? It is also so interesting to try and view my pieces and others in different views. How is someone from this background going to see my piece. Did I subconsciously do something not originally intended? News can inspire anything!

Computer aggravation

I recently seem to be having lots and lots of technical difficulties, and it is aggravating me. I will get my artwork on here, but for now, we will have to do without.
