JOSHUA:

My future plans are to take over for the paramedic program director in a few years when she retires. 2D art to me as someone who lives in the 21st century is a form of expression or making a statement. In the city of Atlanta we have a multitude of street art that everyone in the city enjoys. For example the krog steet bridge and market is also called the rainbow bridge due to its multicolored sketches and 2D art that has heighth and width but lacks alot of depth. The images that are painted are not always random expressions that are just nice to look at, alot of the artist here in atlanta want to convey a message and make the viewer think. So far in this unit I have learned that photography was considered art that may sound unscholarly but I own it and now I know better. I would say so far my perceptions have and are chaging as I am making a cognative effort to view more artwork around me and try and understand the artist viewpoint or purpose for his or her work.
