Through the film screenings I was able to grasp the bigger picture of how I, as a consumer, can reduce the amount of waste that will eventually find itself polluting our oceans. The products I do choose to consume though can be used and recycled properly or as my personal experience has been, to turn it into art where it will never impact nature negatively yet be used to inform others what I have learned this may term.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935970018634082403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1793600002741728271.post-51643137699210138652013-05-14T11:59:36.452-04:002013-05-14T11:59:36.452-04:00The thing I learned a lot from this class was payi...The thing I learned a lot from this class was paying attention to the products we buy and how the plastics inside could cause future harm.<br />The only thing I liked the least was the cleaning process.

The worst part about this class was that we had such little time to actually make the pieces, every day was crunch time, you couldn't procrastinate. I was sick for one day with horrible allergies and it put me behind to the point I was in the studio till 3 am the morning before the projects were due. It was definitely not a class to be taken lightly, you know that when actually studio art majors struggled, but it was worth it in the end seeing everyone at the gallery, it really gave me hope that people really do care and hopefully it will spread.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850001586712906157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1793600002741728271.post-59151291983856219792013-05-14T11:15:40.738-04:002013-05-14T11:15:40.738-04:00Overall, the class was fun and presented itself as...Overall, the class was fun and presented itself as a challenging course. I wish it would have been longer than 3 weeks, because then it would not have been as frustrating as it was to try and scramble pieces together to meet the deadline. Aurora is cool, but is also very tough at times. Teaching a class is hard work but she did a good job none the less. I would recommend this class to other students. It is a very inspiring class that allows you to see the world differently if you haven't already.

The process of creating art out of waste that we removed from Lewis creek really struck home for me as I live in this area and walk along the creeks with friends, always hearing comments about how everybody wishes more people would take an intrest and help with the clean-ups that go on in the community. Although this class was very interesting and informative, I thought that it was quite overwhelming for a May Term class--a full semester to dedicate to intercepting the wastestream and creating sculptures would be better. With the time constraints, it was difficult to go as grand of a scale as one would have liked; however, cutting back had its benifits. All in all, I enjoyed the class and hope that the college will encompass more classes in sculpture.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266384514190722523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1793600002741728271.post-76385528702475765212013-05-14T10:52:21.887-04:002013-05-14T10:52:21.887-04:00This class has taught me a lot about what we can d...This class has taught me a lot about what we can do to help the environment, and has change my perspective in what we can do as a group of students and also individually. It was challenging class of course. Sometimes frustrating but I think the end results were worth the time and effort. I like my piece and everyone's pieces and I'm glad we raise almost $1000.00 together! :)!! It was a great experience overall!

I enjoyed doing the river cleanup and absolutely loved the films. I think what would really make this class better would be to make ot a semester long, that way we have time to clean everything and still keep our overall visions for the work. Thank you so much Aurora! I had lots of fun!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643270992847752233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1793600002741728271.post-44651553937922428532013-05-14T10:30:55.794-04:002013-05-14T10:30:55.794-04:00yesterday was definitely a big opportunity for eve...yesterday was definitely a big opportunity for everyone who has never been involved in the bidding process.
