Week 8 Blog: The Serenity Room

 

  • Take a few pictures of places or spaces that you find welcoming and explain the characteristics that contribute to that feeling.

There is a place at work that I go to often called, "The Serenity Room". Our employers put it in place for anyone who is needs peace and quiet, a place to eat lunch, or just simply a retreat for someone who needs it, or who needs to decompress from a bad day. The room is a pastel Mint Green with a calming feel and pictures of a peaceul place. There is almost a Zen to the room and a welcoming couch and table with one window. I occasionally will invite the cats Ladybug and Cricket to come inside if they want somewhere new to rest or my company. They often like exploring since they don't go in there very often. (We have them on the training floor for socialization with our service dogs).

    I think having a space like this that's relaxing. Having a space that helps you separate from work is nice to decompress and keep your drive going.

Week 14 Blog: Inspiration in Colorado

Image
  Share something that you love about Colorado that inspires your creativity. I think I have to be cliché when I say that I love the outdoors here - it's the best thing about Colorado. However, my favorite part of visiting mountain towns is the art galleries and stores. Better yet, I love when there are seasonal art festivals that all the local artists gather and come together to in order to sell their creative pieces. When you look at different works, it is always inspiring because you see new creative ideas and how they are accomplished, whether it be paintings, photography, jewelry, sculpture, etc.

Week 9 Blog: City of Roses

Image
Describe a time that visited a place for the first time. What do you remember? What were you drawn to? Felt uncertain about? If you could visit again, what would you do while there?  I remember the first time I visited Portland, Oregon and the Oregon Coast.  I was blown away by the beauty of this state as it reminded me of the green misty foliage and trees of Atlanta. I was drawn to the wild roses, misty mornings, green moss, numerous trees, rivers and waterfalls. A bonus was visiting the Pacific Ocean for the first time at Haystack rock. Pictures don't do justice for the rocks enormousness. I have very fond memories of Silver Falls State Park, which was one of the best state parks i had ever been to since you can go behind enormous waterfalls.  In all honesty, I faced some uncertainty in realizing that moving to Oregon would have likely been a better choice and fit for me when I decided to leave Atlanta. This was based on the setting and what the city had to offer. I've learne

Week 10 Blog: Marina Abramović

Image
Write a brief summary of the creative individual you studied for your report. What is something surprising or unexpected that you learned about creativity from this person’s life experiences? I already knew a lot about Marina Abramović but I am in the process of finalizing my paper - so I may still discover something new! I guess I can reflect back to when I first learned and heard about her. She was my 1st exposure to Conceptual and Performance Art. I found the artists commitment to these performances very inspiring, as they fully gave themselves mentally and physically to their art.  My first Art professor had us watch many different videos on Performance art. I specifically remember her explaining the concept that "art" is not always something that has to be positive, it can also be something that is even uncomfortable. Its purpose is to evoke and pull out human emotion, allowing yourself to feel, or even to embrace that uncomfortable feeling at time. I constantly recall h
