[FREE] Get good answers via Spenner
I'm really exhausted, get some slightly incoherent responses that are full of Spenner's opinion here. I'm an artist and generally a surrealist so try to keep a bit of a general flavour of that~

Thoughts on "Un chien Andalou"?
Thoughts on Dali's poop museum? Do you actually play rhythm games?

Re: [FREE] Get good answers via Spenner
When I first saw this, what came to mind for me was that it's something Dali might have put together as a bit of an experiment. Being able to have such control over the feelings conveyed by what they've seen, and trying to put as intense of an emphasis on "pain" in this case, as possible. Knowing Dali, it was probably leverage to inspire him to try the same level of intensity but for other emotions and feelings other than simply pain. Knowing how strongly, and in what way, the effects of the art are going to impact the viewer, the more one can take control and give the viewer a unique experience. All of his surrealism pieces seem to vividly draw the viewer to a richly bizarre view of something, that nearly everyone can react to consistently (on average). By taking shapes or objects or schemes from realistic viewpoints and smearing them in a surrealistic environment. That being said, I think Un Chien Andalou is definitely an interesting piece by Dali, obviously with a different flavour.

For me, a lot of romantic music does not give me the same feelings as typically intended. This prolly has to do with my augmented interpretation of emotions to do with love (too much negative reinforcement associated with it for too long!!). Romantic music for the most part has a strong sense of "being someone", or at comfort with something, at least. For me, I usually get the feeling of being alone in a warm, aesthetically pleasing place, like a beach or near a waterfall. I guess this mostly pertains to music that is of the literal romantic genre-- I find some songs very romantic that are far from the genre defined romantic elements. For example, this song here, Particularly in this song instead of having that feeling of "someone" being close to another person, i.e. typical romantic situation, I feel like the FEELINGS of two people have been mingled and are just sort of in sync. Just reminds me of a moment where you know that there is complete mutual love, and relaxation, because of the completely synchronized feelings of calm. I hope that doesn't sound too goddamn pretentious but I bet it will @_@ believe me when I say I don't mean to be, it's a bad habit. I sometimes get of weird tangents and speak purely in metaphors. A lot of the things in my mind tend to be associated with metaphoric thinking-- seeing an image that IMPLIES like, a billion other things, which simultaneously imply another billion things. Hard to wrap my mind around sometimes, perhaps I just dig too deeply. But anyhow, enough of that. Random, here's a link to an artist I've been digging recently. I'll post something like that here and there I guess. http://derklox.deviantart.com/gallery/ I have an affinity for deliriously insane inspired artwork.

What self-fulfilling prophecies have you experienced in your own life?
Have you experienced cultural myopia? How long have you been doing art for?

Re: [FREE] Get good answers via Spenner
What made you get into the graphic design field for post secondary studies, and what factors influenced your choice to attend your current college over other ones in the area?
Just something I like asking aspiring designers nearby

I have at some points experienced it quite a bit, when I really didn't dig into the cultural lives of people around me. Nowadays I'm much too interested in everything about people (without being biased, just observing whatever I can with neutrality) to really be closed minded about other cultures. I like to track patterns of routines of people and see what influences the continuation of that pattern, etc etc. tl;dr, i just analyze people differently than I used to when I might have been a little less culturally aware. It excites me to mingle with someone who has a completely different background, and to have experienced it for myself aswell. All good learning. My first progressive start with art probably started in grade 1, when every afternoon before lunch we would have to draw a picture at random and write a short paragraph long story based on the picture. I really wish I could get some of the drawings I used to make, I can really see how my creative processes have grown from that. From a REALLY young age, though, I've always analyzed things around me with a kind of curiosity, with regards to shapes and how their shapes might make me feel. Just like learning to interpret sharp things as something you should take caution when touching-- only in a broader sense, for subtle and abstract "feelings" felt when seeing certain shapes. Just an example, the waterbottle next to me has a curve right under the screw cap that gives me a sense of calmness, and it's a very positive feeling. The straight lines on either side of the bottle feel much more suffocated-- in fact, I think I time it so my breath is held when looking at completely straight lines that are parallel (like on bottles on on buildings). Bit of a rant there, but I guess I learned something new about myself sometimes I can't really tell but I have these ways I continually react to certain shapes. Quote:

I chose Fanshawe College because their labs and direction with teaching looked like the best one I could connect with-- I was close to going to Sheridan for a bachelor's of design degree but financially it was SO much more for essentially the same thing, if not more, with what I've learned at Fanshawe. If it was for some other kind of degree things might be different. But I think I made the right choice~

Good answers don't always come free, get them while they're fresh

Re: [FREE] Get good answers via Spenner
You're playing poker with a tiger, a hamster, and a McDonald's Filet-O-Fish. You limp in with 6c 6s and the tiger and hamster both call but the McDonald's Filet-O-Fish folds, despite being in the big blind. The flop is 7c 7h 10c. The tiger chews on its cards and bets 2.5x pot. The hamster calls after hesitation. Do you fold, call, raise, or run screaming?
What is your opinion of this piano piece? (166112 notes) Can potatoes fly? How many more questions can I ask you before I have to start paying?
