How can I keep from singing?
The grade above our class (chambers) sang that song.
Now our choir is singing it. i think Deb is Mr. Rowsey in disguise. Maybe the lesson I am to learn is that Eric does do a ton around people. Isn't is a sign to me that every time (almost) ......
so. Different mode. Exam in 5 and a half hours. there were 6 lectures:
The body in art (spent a lot of time on Mary w/baby Jesus- mentioned the controversy over Jesus' genitals having to show as proof (and moral support) that he was like the other humans. --> there is that idea that religion is for comfort? Hm. why do I view that as bad? Maybe because the Cancer survivor said it... she told me these angry words. But she wasn't angry. The Brera Altarpiece by Pierre Della Fransesco.
Why do I start feeling like I need to be around them to be happy? I feel that way with Eric though..both extremes have issues.
Now take that idea into art history: both extremes have issues: a sublime painting vs. Goya's Saturn devouring his children (late 1800's). Artists "take out all the stops" as time progresses.
I don't know if right now, when I have these images running through my head is a good time to make any drastic desicions. It's like Dr. Miller was telling me to go to GVSU. I don't know if he is a wise guide though. he seems pretty unhappy.
class 2 was emotionalism in Christian art? Peoples getting many of their values from the ideals the images of these gods contain. The images become agents: have life.
the body and sexuality (covers all the hindu goddesses, Shee La NaGig). By being happy talking to James I was practicing my voice...)
Lanscapes - sprial Jeddi in salt lake.. robert smithson
Sacred spaces - Barabador in Java.. Wadi el Matrun.. monastery in Egypt where earlier Christian monasteries were found. Some sacred structures in Hindu are visual mandalas -- which are yantra? puja is put the sacred into movement and mantra is words.
Meteora Monastery in Greece
Skellig Michael in Ireland
San Michelle in France .. completely isolated when tide goes down
Chahar Bagh - 4 fold Islamic garden - thought that this combinatio of water/botany/ landscape design took on an implicit spiritual context 4 divine liquids, water, hone, milk, wine -->viewing platforms for participants to come and be one with the spiritual construction. Started in Mesopotamia, Assyria, Egypt then adopted by Islamic/Arabic peoples. In the desert do these man-made Oasis have a heightened anticipation.. significant.. significant anticipation .. ya hear me.. ya hear me.... up and away in my beautiful beautiful ... give ti away? Gimmie, gimmie, hot ride in my revolution... ya hear me
tulips were in these gardens --> good symbol for how the spirit changes during its growth. A tulip doesn't resist its own growth, does it? It also can't choose.. that is a defining thing about humans, right? Maybe we develop all these structures and images because we do need guidance and there are real pleasures really trying to corrupt us. Giving up the pleasures takes something powerful to override them.
Very strict Geometry in these structures --> sacred geometry?
Labyrinths have 28 loops. for 28 moon cycles and the menstrual cycle.
Edmund Burke - wrote about the philosophy behind the sublime and beautiful
monasteries are often in sublime spaces
Much like warm days as spring teases its awesomenss
