Sunset In Venice

This painting is a Claude Monet Sunset In Venice. The colors are bold and vibrant. Looking at the image there is a feeling of peace the colors are soothing leaving the viewer with ones thoughts. The lighting appears to be setting bringing the eye to the horizon. The single tower on the left hand side balances outs the picture adding contracts to the trees on the right of the image. One wants to know what the building is; a tower, a home, or just a place on the water. What ever it is, the building is the focal point along with the coloring in the sunset. The colors appear to be slowly fading off the edge of the page. This affect captures the lighting of romance that is generally associated with Venice. The image truly embodies the spite of Venice and the beauty that is offered in a Venice sunset. The texture used in both the water and the sky gives an effect that the ripples in the water are real and that the differing colors in the sky are setting in that particular order. Most of all this image holds a feeling of beauty and peace. Leaving the viewer in a state of curiosity regarding what is beyond the picture. Besides the emotion gained by looking at the painting the purpose is to allow the viewer to find the meaning within the image for ones self.

The Future Of Writing and Reading

The composure of the blog If:Book A project of The Institute for the future of the Book is very clever. The writing posts from the blog relate back to the title. The title works to tie each individual entry together. The site’s organization allows the blog to flow; each post adding additional meaning to the statement of the site. On the right hand side there is a link that explains the message behind the website. This link is labeled about this blog. The link shows that the creators of this site are trying to get across their point of view. This blog has meaning and is not just random post.

The writing on If:Book is thoughtful and useful to anyone who reads, writes on the internet, uses the internet and or does not use the internet. The site focuses on how the internet is the future of reading and writing; that the computer is a more effective form for these mediums. The writing is not one way it is conversational; wanting to hear the voices of the readers. Allowing the writing to be extremely appealing to the internet world being that the web is for conversation of the world.

There is only one video on the blog and that video is showing a great example of what the creators are talking about. The internet is seen to be the future of writing and reading along with other mediums of information. The video shows an assortment of different ways that the computer and internet can be used in a way that is beyond a paper and pencil. The blog also addresses the issue of how the internet laws will work when/if the internet takes over the forms of reading and writing.

My blog is not very conversational being appealing only those who know what the writings are about. I feel that my blog has a message but can not be seen by the audience because it is not clearly indicated of what that point of views is. The title of my blog tells the reader nothing about the writing. The only thing it is clearly taken by the title is that some one named Jenny Chavez posted the blogs on the site. The title should bring the main idea together. The title is the first thing the reader sees and provides an underlined point to the site. I could find a better way of organizing my blog, a way that can flow and show what the meaning is behind my words.

The biggest difference that can be seen between the blog If: Book and my blog is a clear focal point. Good organization can help the focal point to be seen. My writing appears to be random with no focused direction and stops short of providing a clear point of view. The If:Book blog does not lack any of these qualities.

Observational Essay: First Tattoo

Buzz, buzz, buzz, the sound of a tattoo gun. Ink Tattoo’s appearance is like most tattoo shops. The white walls are filled with large framed paintings. The front of the shop is set up with couches. A sitting area that forms around a table, the table holds the portfolios of the artists. There is a countertop which contains body jewelry behind glass. The top row of the jewelry case is a layout of navel rings. They are assorted by color and design. The next row is of gauges, they are arranged by size. In the back of the tattoo shop there are several larger rooms for tattooing and piercing. Each working tattoo artist has their own space. The noise of the tattoo gun is coming from those back rooms. The tattoo gun is repetitive to the point that the noise seems to continue infinitely. The rooms in the back are full of meaningful paintings by the artist’s. These are the rooms which the noise is seeping from. These are the rooms that hold the meaning to this place.


There is not may people in the shop, two men behind the counter. One of them walks towards the front of the store. This man is very tall; he has a mohawk which is a greenish color. He has no piercing but his legs, neck, and arms are overtaken by tattoos. His neck is a black and white piece. There are two pillars which are symmetrical in shape and graphic detail. These pillars on his neck are symbolic of Italy. That was the inspiration and place were the tattoo is from. He also has a tattoo on his leg of a character from x-man. This was the first tattoo that he has ever gotten and also the first one he has given. “Can I help you with something” Michael asks. “I am looking to get this tattoo on my back” I said. Michael takes the book in which the painting is in and makes a photo copy. He takes about five minutes examining the painting before saying “Yea I would be able to create this tattoo for you but it will need to be a full back tattoo, the tattoo will need to be as big as this paper”. I already know how big the tattoo would need to be but wanted to see what he would say.

The scream by Edvard Munch is composed of intricate colors which intertwine. In the painting the sky is a mixer of different shades of orange; light orange, red orange, and varying colors between. Along with white, off whites, teal, and some grays. The detail is complex for a tattoo considering a tattoo artists work with needles and not a paint brush. The few outlining lines are not even straight. The water is made up of different whites and varying shades of blue. There are also greens and oranges mixed in. Tattooing the painting The scream is not an easy task. Most tattoo artists would say that it can not be done. There are artists who know they can recreate this painting in the form of a tattoo like Michael.

Michael’s portfolio is extravagant, his color blending is unreal. The boldness and vibrancy of his colors brings his customers tattoos to life. There was one tattoo in his portfolio that is unforgettable. The colors in this tattoo are colors often seen in a pink sunset. They are ranging from pink, to purple, to vibrant blues. The tattoo is reflective of a tribal influence. The figure is wearing a device that elongates the neck. In the tattoo the figure also has gauges in the ears; the hair is all shaved off except for a small section in the back that is put up into a ponytail. In the tattoo the figure is holding a flame in one hand and in the other he is holding a staff with a head on it that has a bone through the nose.

Michael understands that a tattoo of a painting should not be treated the same as any other tattoo. Michael explains, “There is only so much of the tattoo that I can out line. The majority is going to have to be free hand.” He is an art fanatic so the idea of tattooing the painting intrigues him. “This is a great idea for a tattoo and I would really like to tattoo this” says Michael. He is hoping to have a chance to tattoo Edvard Munch’s The Scream. “The thing is if I do not find the right artist then it could end badly” I voice strongly. Michael is qualified, has been tattooing for sixteen years and wants to work on the tattoo. I continue questioning, hoping he will say something reassuring. “How much will this tattoo cost?” I ask. Michael says “I charged $100 dollars an hour. It is hard to say how long this tattoo will take but I am guessing about $1000”. “What about touch ups”. “My work is guaranteed so if you need touch ups they are free” says Michael.

Michael is a great tattoo artist. Some of the tattoos in his portfolio are inspiring by their beauty. Michael is a fan of Munch’s and would take it as an honor to work on the tattoo. In viewing Michael’s art I am not sure that I have gathered enough information to make a decision on having him tattoo The Scream. He has the qualifications to work on the tattoo. The decision is not finally and needs more investigation. Now leave the parlor and enter the parking lot, thinking of my decision I can see Michael and I can hear the gun all over again.

First Tattoo

A tattoo is something that stays with someone for the rest of their life . It is not a decision that should be taken lightly. This topic should be researched in depth because of the commitment. This decision is a personal one, which should be meaning full to the holder at some level. In the research I plan on taking to as many people as possible (who can be of help in regards to tattoos). People who have had tattoos both done good and bad. Also comparing different artist’s and what they have to say about the tattoo I wish to be apart of.

The audience for this topic would be any one who wants a tattoo (for the first time), has a tattoo or finds them to be intriguing. For ones first tattoo there is a fear that the artist well be bad, over priced, or the fear of making a mistake in their choice of design. There are a million things that can go wrong when not knowing what to expect.

The majority of research for this paper well be with local tattoo artist’s. Who is reliable and how much will they charge? What artist would be better for color or for black and white or for detail? By looking at many tattoo artists I can find the one who is best suited for recreating the Panting The Scream. An artist with great detail, extraordinary color blending, and is capable of completing more then half of a back tattoo by free hand.

Needing to find a “tattoo artist”, I plan to put a painting on my back. Not just any tattoo artist could replicate the painting wanted as my tattoo. Leading to questions; what makes a tattoo artist great? What makes a tattoo artist qualified, time/experience, quality or both? The tattoo I desire is not a picture nor should it be treated like one. It should be looked at as a painting with little outlining. A great tattoo is not chip, takes a lot of time, and complete dedication.

This subject is a personal matter which will have to be researched in depth. I hope that I will be able to pull this paper off. Oddly the date I plan to start my tattoo is the day this paper is due; the eighteenth. So I will have all the research and decisions made before then. If there is a conflict with this topic I would like to write about a palm reader. This is something that I have always wanted to know more about. This observational essay will be compelling; this is a real topic that needs to be looked at deeply in order for me to get my tattoo.

When Science Meets God - At Play In The Unified Field

When Science Meets God- At Play In The Unified Field is a scene from the movie What The Bleep Do We Know? which combines quantum physics and spirituality. Questions that are addressed in the movie; what is reality, do I as an individual create that reality for others and for I? If I do create this realty then can it be changed? These questions and more are explored in depth in the movie.

The clip expresses how the mind forms its experience of reality. Showing how each person can form different views of reality even though reality is supposed to be universal. Reality is based on the individual interaction with the universe. One forms their life; they form their hopes and their fears. They are the one who structures there values, such as what is going too far and what is not going far enough? The way the world is seen is based on the way one takes in the world. To change that experience one must look at the world, look at what needs to be changed, then see how change can occur not as a thought but as a reality.

I extensively thought as to how this piece would be looked at from this online community, what the reaction will be. I thought so much about the reaction I asked my dad to watch the clip. Based on his reaction I felt great about posting this video. He had no clear emotion about what he thought; but it made him think. We sat and talked about self fulfilling prophecy. We talked about the reason we do not always see eye to eye on all things (my tattoo) is because we have had different experience which affects the judgment that one would have to a particular situation.

The content of When Science Meets God- At Play In The Unified Field is not quite whole because the clip is a scene from a movie. This movie explores the deep meaning of quantum physics and of spirituality. As can be seen from the video the movie is made up of the thoughts of several scientists in different fields. The scientists explain how thought can have a direct impact on reality.

Watching this clip at home adds to the value of the message. One can take a look around and see first hand that their surrounding is a reflection of created reality. Watching on the computer there is a personal connection because the viewer is forced to focus in depth on the video. A television screen or a movie screen is not as intimate with the footage as the one on one interaction with a computer.

The power of change is in a thought, the power to over come is in the idea to do so. The video is truly nothing now; it is the voice of perception. Beliefs is what truly separates one person from another, beliefs are the basis of all people. What is lived for and what is killed for.
