Art Lecture Paper
Art Lecture: Davin Watne Davin Watne was a very interesting person and speaker to listen to. He was really down to Earth and practical but still had that imaginative side to him which is what makes him excel at what he does. I was a very big fan of the first few images he put up in the slide show. The paintings of animals looking at car crashes really intrigued me and got me excited to see more of his work. I think using his past experiences of getting into a car accident to start his career and having something that he could connect so well to it is a huge reason his early work was so successful. I was a little disappointed when he said he had gotten away from that work and changed to something else because I really enjoyed the irony in those images. There were two main pieces that Mr. Watne seemed to be more concerned or have a deeper connection with. The first was the pink car that he had created. At first he seemed like he didn’t know what the purpose was for him to create such a thing. He seemed confused about why he had the urge to make this life size pink sports car that would never actually run like a car.

Where Is Ralph Waldo Emerson's Growth?

Growth is measured by how far a person comes from point A to point B in his or her life. Humans cannot grow without expanding their knowledge and straining their abilities, because that, in essence, is what makes a person grow. The effort put into a task, a conscious effort to be better at something makes a person grow. That is why Emerson's statement rings true. The fact that humans cannot reach the height of their potential without branching out, and cannot remain true to themselves if they do…

Personal Narrative: Where The Path And Make A Trail By Ralph Waldo Emerson

My favorite quote growing up has always been, “Don’t go where the path may lead, instead go where there is no path and make a trail.” by Ralph Waldo Emerson. I’ve tried to live my life up to the expectation of that quote, but it’s difficult to make your own path when you can’t go anywhere. I didn’t want to drive due to my fear of failing. My fear of failing my driver's test began back in 2014 when my sister, Hannah, failed hers. My whole family ridiculed her about it for years. After witnessing my…
