This week we focused our attention on transformation and translation, or what I seen it as perspective. We started off the on Monday by watching several videos of artists painting. What stuck out to me from all the videos were the painting of the trees. It was interesting to see one of the psychological aspects I learned about actually panning out. Although all the different artists were viewing the exact same tree with all of the same features, each one differed and was unique in their own individual way. Some focused on the trunk, others the leaves, and others even just the background. Zack did a great job tying this into writing by having us do the lens activity. Although every student was looking at the same classroom, when we focused ourselves with our "lenses" we all saw different things. Similarly, with writing and genres, authors could be writing about the same topic and even the same aspect of topic, however the content will differ depending on your own individual viewpoint. The "Everybody Poops" segment in class also further emphasized this topic.
In Wednesdays class, we put those subjects to use by further discussing our WP3. As I wrote in my PB3a, this WP reminded me of my volunteer work that I did during high school in which I pretty much practiced every week without really knowing what I was doing so. As I continued to think back on other projects and things I've done, I realized that writing and the things we're learning in this class from day one is essential to not only college assignments but for life in general.
