The Aesthetic Experience



As I gazed into the glass of clear water and watched it mix with drops of red, yellow, and blue dye, I found a deeper meaning in the realization of simplicity. I realized that something as simple as this contains a much more deeper and inspiring meaning. As the water mixed with the red and yellow dye, i was reminded of a firey sunset being born. It reminded me of a firing passion burned deep with inside me. Then as a few drops of blue were mixed in, it was as if the sunset met the calmness of the ocean. It was also as if the the blue dye calmed the passion within me. I took it as meaning for whatever aspirations I have, I must not let anything overcome them and wash them away from my sight.

Hybrid Dog


In preparation for our PERSONAL METAPHOR project, we brushed up our skills combining objects together. Using layer masks and the clone stamp we blended this dog and bird together.
