1. Visual culture is the anthropology around and behind artwork. It includes subcultures and groups otherwise not really represented in life. It is the reason behind art movements and the affects each movement has on the art world as a whole. And it all works together like an organism, independent creativity but interconnected at the same time.
2. Some of the things June McFee talks about and stands for that reflect on today are looking after the kid's and their behavior and paying attention to their state of being, how they are doing pyscologically. Every year it seems that more and more children need to improve their mental health and I think that will continue and is important to pay attention to.
3-6. I have already heard of zines, but just as a mini booklet of an art portfolio, I didnt know thrre was this culture behind it too. I think that the zine library is cute and ambitious, I don't think that it gets as much attention if they were published in theyre often library or a bookstore; but I'm sure there is wanted exclusivity by the Ziners to some extent. I think that people should make what they want to and shouldn't think about holding themselves back because of society or the idea that they will be rejected. I would definitely enjoy making mini story books of some sort, but I would have to find good examples myself because some of them are clearly writen by adults for adults. 
7-9. I think that this video shos that you can bring everday life into the classroom and that you should allow for culture and society to influence art in a positive way. It is true that technology has connected more people and more variety of people and it can be used as a good way to display creative thinking through art. It is also true that technology allos us to find more information, to rethink old ideas and innovate them. I would use these in a classrom to comprehend why artwork of a certain time period or culture was made and then allow them to create their own versions of this, either use a similar media and replicate the style that wa used but change the subject; or use a new media and recreate the image.

Presentation

1. My artist is Bill Viola and he creates videos that are auditory and visually stimulating. I chose this artist because he and his art seemed the most interesting out of the few new art artists I researched. I prefer videography over 3D printing and digital animation and thought that he had a lot of work I could talk about. 2. The only problem I had was finding the videos he created because none of them are publicly published by him. Anything that I've found is either a snip bit from what is his art, or a video filmed of the videos he has created. I found the best quality ones and used them, sometimes I found them on accident too. I couldn't find just an audio file at all, so I included more short videos instead that have audio in them. 3. I enjoyed trying to find images that I saw in the video trailers of his work, everything was a hunt but I enjoyed it when I found a good image still. I didn't enjoy trying to decide on animations and transitions, but I was indecisiv...

Creating My Website-Blog

1. I enjoyed selecting which pieces I added to the website, and ordering them to work well with each following piece. It's a lot like curating an online gallery in that way, even the labeling looks professional to me. 2. I used Wix to create my website, and it was a lot simpler than InDesign. The downside of it was that it had limited options when it came to selecting text, and using different fonts and sizes. It also had set stationary image blocks that wouldn't move, but had many templates to substitute this issue. InDesign has many more options but Wix was easy and simple to use. 3. The biggest challenge I faced was editing the texts to fit the page the way I wanted them to. Because the website has templates, it only allows you to put text in certain areas, and doesn't have great options for changing the size of the text either. I sorted through most all of the templates for each individual text and image area for one that had them on the right side, then changed th...
