Postmodernism

            According to the reading, postmodernism paved way for a different perspective on art. Instead of artwork being realistic, it now had a more creative combination of ideas. For example, on the the first page the girl is no longer only dancing, but she now has multiple arms, and is play the guitar, and drum. Postmodernism is also present in music as many songs now contain multiple genes and styles. I find it interesting that in the past it may be viewed as wrong or strange to cross genres, but now in today's society it is good to be different and creativity is praised.            The world's cultures, rituals, races, music and traditions are all intertwining creating new societal norms, and opening up the way for new possibilities. This allows for people to have a better understanding of others and there culture. It also paved the way for new innovations in the world of  media, advertising, art, and speech.           I was a little confused however in Jameson's v

Colors podcast

        In this podcast, they discuss how everyone views color differently. It could be that their eyes that are viewing the color differently, or the way that their mind interprets and determines what is being viewed. I thought it was very interesting how they talked about a grape. They asked the question whether or not the grape is the same color for everything on earth, every individual, cat, horse etc. I believe that everyone perceives color differently, and for this reason people have different personalities and interests. For example, the image that I see in my head for green may be completely different than what you see.

This fact shocks me because I could never imagine a world that was completely black and white. I feel like it would be a world that was quite b

            In the youtube video Whitescapes , Odili Donald Odita talks about how everyone sees and perceives color differently. This could be because of the absence or use of light on a certain object. Also, we all associate a visual color with an exact word, but what everyone is actually viewing may be completely different. For example, the color I see in my head for yellow, may be a completely different color than you see, but we both associate this image with the word yellow.             I looked at a tissue and my bed spread, and classified them both as being white while looking at them individually. After placing the tissue on my bed, I noticed that while they were both "white" they seemed to be different colors, or different shades. The tissue had a more yellow tint to it, as if it were more of a cream color. On the other hand, my bed spread looked more blueish gray. It was a darker shade of white than the tissue.               Next, I took away all the light in my
