Hi my name is Michael

Hi. I was born in Los Angeles. I was very quiet kid who didn’t know their voice yet. I was that kid in the back who did their work and payed attention. I was never social when I was young. I thought i wasn’t interesting or cool enough. I grew up in Los Angeles just knowing Los Angeles. I moved to Sacramento when I was 16. I hated it. I hated to place, and hated how cold it was. Later on I learned to accept my change in life. I made friends and learned how to drive and got my first job here. I found myself little every day and I enjoyed the person I was becoming. I thought living my life in a lie and not telling my parents I was gay should be fine. I thought to myself when I was 18 I would tell them. Life had other plans for me though. I was outed. That day was the worst day of my life. It was hard hearing my parents say things about me but I out grew that. Honestly after my parents finding out felt like a big boulder just got lifted behind my back and I felt free. I felt like I can now become the person I want to be instead of a lie. After that I wasn’t scared showing who I am. Yea I’m gay so what ? Gay doesn’t define who I am as a person, Only I do. I found confidence and my voice to be able to be who I am. I learned how to be tough and manage my life. Now I’m just gong to college still trying to figure myself out everyday in Life. Now I look at myself in that past and I am happy. Without those struggles I wouldn’t be the person who I am today. Now I enjoy being who I am, making friends , and talking a lot.

Storytelling Animals

McIntyre argues ” so the character in a history are not a collection of persons , but the concept of a person is that of a character abstracted from a History.” I like to think what he’s trying to say is the person you knew in history isn’t someone that you really knew because its in the past and they changed. They were only like that because of that period in time when they were trying to figure themselves out still. I don’t know about you but I enjoy looking back in my snap chat memories from 2017. I see the ridiculous clothes I thought were cute and the selfies as well. I like to think , yes that was me but not anymore. I was only that ridiculous person because that was the only thing I knew in that period of time. I know better and I grew up. Our past don’t define who we are as a person but just maybe small mistakes we made and regret, and yes people will argue ” but that’s still you”. Yes it’s still me but I grew and I changed for the better because I realized I am way better and smarter than too fuck up my life. That is why they call it History because it is in the past we will remember but sometimes that person in History maybe isn’t that same person in the present.

Personal Identity

From what I read Hume doesn’t believe we’re real in this world . He believes it’s just a dream or an illusion in our heads that we’re dreaming and we connect with each other with similarities of things we find content . Honestly it could be convincing if his evidence were pretty valid and had maybe a pretty darn good evidence to convince but who knows . This world could either be real or fake we never know . Buddha believe after we died we reincarnate into another being . Christianity believes we die we either go to heaven or hell and others believe nothing happens . Any of these could be right who knows . What I’m trying to say is Humes could be right but he’s like every other religious person just believe what he thinks is true to him, and there is wrong about that we all have our own opinions .

My Art

These dresses are my art. Its so crazy how people think of these ideas in their head and just make it happen. I believe my example matches with Tolstoy definition of art in my opinion. From what I read basically if the creator of the art piece was motivated and inspired to create the piece then it is considered art. I guess you can use his critique definition if you want but personally I don’t agree. Personally Like I said anything can be art now. I believe there shouldn’t be “rules” defining art, art should be whatever you want it to be. Art doesn’t have to please everyone, but maybe just you.

Infectiousness

Individuality; The more feeling the art has the more it affects the person admiring it. When I see these dresses they just bring a smile in my face. Its so pretty and crazy how these dresses look and feel and move.

Clearness; The more clear and simple the art is the more the receiver can understand and express themselves with. These dresses may not be simple or interesting for some people but for me its mind blowing. I see the color and the form and the style and its pretty wonderful to see. Its unique.

Sincerity; From what I’m understanding of sincerity basically if the art was meaningful and deep then anyone can understand it then it is considered art. I may not know if these dresses were made with compassion or hate. From what I can tell these dress were made to impress and they really impressed me and showed me how the human mind is an extraordinary thing. These dresses bring me light and just imagination in my head of crazy ideas. These dresses are pretty meaningful to me.

Quote: “Art, in our society, has been so perverted that not only has bad art come to be considered good, but even the very perception of what art really is has been lost” I like to think this goes with my topic because he realizes that the perception of art is fading. He realizes that art is changing and he doesn’t like it. Art has been changing and will continue to change because change is good and its good to see new ideas come to light.

What is Art ?

From what I read I believe Tolstoy standard of art is basically just emotion and affection toward the object . He believes we need to test these art project with love and emotion but if you don’t feel anything towards the art it isn’t considered art. This proposal can be useful for some people but for me it’s not . I believe each and everyone of us is unique and different in our own way. Art can be anything now. In the part maybe not everything was considered art just objects that we adore but now anything can be art . Too me art is dresses and Fashion and people may see it as just clothes but I see style and colors and patterns. To me that’s art . As long as you love it and just can’t stop staring at it that it’s art too you. No one can stop you and say that isn’t art , because he’s wrong. Each and everyone of us have our very own definition of art and that’s beautiful. Literally a poem or an essay can art because ids so magnificent. Art can be anything you want it to be.

Aristotle Poetics

Aristotle gives us a lot of imitations on how these poets are different from each other from using music or dancing or even just using face expression in poetry . From reading the passages I think he isn’t really giving a negative but a positive sense of art. He’s basically just telling us these different ways poets use to express them and how it all the same because at the end of the day it’s going to be art for someone . I believe his understanding of art really helped us learn the different way art is projected in life and how almost anything can be art as long as you get a sense of feel or hard thinking towards it.

Allegory of the Cave

Movies and the media I guess trick us into thinking that just because we see it on tv or the internet it’s the truth and that all all we need for the truth. They manipulate us into thinking we need this to be popular or need this to survive the world or look pretty . I like to think we do mistake fiction with reality. Like High School Musical. We all grew up thinking that high school was all about songs and dancing and finding a great guy but it’s not . That’s not reality . It’s really about struggling about who you are and what your purpose is In life . It’s possible that world might not be real. For example the matrix . Who knows maybe we’re stuck in a Machine Just waiting to wake up. I like to sometimes think maybe this isn’t real. Maybe we’re all just dreaming and I can’t figure out why .

“The Will To Believe”

A living hypothesis is giving someone the reasoning of your appeal. Ex: There is a plant that heals the sick or you can just got through the pain yourself ?

A Momentous is once in a lifetime in your life . Ex: Drake is here at campus we’re going .

A forced is giving them options but petty much you either in or out . Ex: Were going to a concert tonight you in or out ?

I would say all three Beliefs fit in the beauty community. You either in or out of the community. They have to make decision if they either want this color or design in. They having living hypotheses about if they sell this much then they are going to need this much more next time . They have momentous times where they have to decide a shade color to be in or out their palette. They are forced to be in or out of the competition. The beauty community has a lot of Beliefs in it .

First of off I like to think what Clifford meant in his statement is that there is never going to be a reasoning for anything and you shouldn’t rely on it . I like to think James does have an exception to Cliffords beliefs. James gives us these beliefs that we use on a day to day life and where it helps us in life. Helps us learn and make smart decision. I think James gives me enough beliefs to believe in him more . When I read through them It reminded me so many things in life I have been through. And I use his beliefs of living and momentous and forced hypotheses . It’s something that I’m really accustomed too.

“The Will To Believe”

A living hypothesis is giving someone the reasoning of your appeal. Ex: The plant grew when I gave it popcorn so I believe if I give it more popcorn it will grow more.

A Momentous is pretty much a delimea between two things . Ex: You either go to my party or you can go to the mall and buy whatever you want .

A forced is giving them options but petty much you either in or out . Ex: Were going to a concert tonight you in or out ?

I would say all three Beliefs fit in the beauty community. You either in or out of the community. They have to make decision if they either want this color or design in.
