Futurism... Art...

Futurism began in Italy.  The artists last name is Boccioni.  You do not get much more Italian then that, so this must be Futurism... Right???

Seriousy though, Futurism is based on the glorification of the machine and denunciation of classical art.  This painting almost has mechanical qalities to it, and it is far from classical. Motion, speed, and dynamics are part of Futurism.  The reds and the swirls in this painting almost give me the feeling of running.  I also see some qualities that could lead to "punk" type of paintings as well.  I love this piece, and can get lost in it...

My Poll...

Has anyone seen the survey at the bottom of my Blog?  I am curious as to what everyone is majoring in, so I figured I would ask.

The Poll closed on September 30th, but with only one response so far, I figured that I would update the end date.  It will now remain open until December 30th.

If you get a moment, please look below and answer the question.

Thank you for your time,

Curt

If I had a hammer...

A hammer is a good tool.  It can be used for builing stuff, hanging things on the wall, tearing down things, and even removing nails or whatever was used to hand things on a wall.  The hammer is an extremly versitle tool.  The hammer also has some good qualities when it comes to art.  Have you ever seen a hammer look like this?

Tell me what you think of my hammer... :D

My New Blog...

I am not one for blogging, so I am not really sure what I am supposed to post here.

I am going for an Associates Degree in Applied Science with an emphasis in Web Technology at Anne Arundel Community College.  I have all of my core courses done, so now, I am working on the degree specific classes.  This semester I am taking CSI128 - Introduction to World Wide Web Publishing (Dreamweaver) and CAT111 - Digital Design Foundation.  I am thinking about adding another class in October, but we will see how these two go first... :)

I have 2 sons.  One is 6, the other is 11.  The 11 year old decided to fly over the handle bars of a friends bicycle after unsuccessfully trying to jump over a curb.  The front wheel stopped short, he went over the handle bars, braced his landing with his left hand (he is left-handed) and broke both the radius and ulna.

Well, that is about it for now, feel free to let me now how I am doing... :D
