Class Dream Poem/My Language Project

One worry free summer in a titanic sea
The open sky numbered celestial bells
I don't understand the language so I shot myself in the foot
A confused Isiaha said to me you say you can't see me
Lamenting for a loved one during a sleep ritual I drank sandwich juice
The childhood lava lamps and galloping horses were not about language
At the Colorado animal collective album a bassy church gathering came through the bathroom window.

This poem is a compilation of our classes thoughts and ideas whilst listening to "The Nothing Song" by Sigur Ros.  The language in the song is Hopelandic; a made up language of gibberish.  I collected the thoughts of everyone, chose a select few thoughts, phrases and ideas and put them together to make this Dream Poem.

My first two projects

I know Im supposed to document stuff on here, so ill just talk about them here and be more detailed with the other three, "I will Aurora I promise!"

Project 1 involved me recreating a cover to a japanese comic book (Rurouni Kenshin Viz Media Big volume 3) in three different forms, graphite/charcoal, acrylics, and ink/water. I can put up the pictures later, it seemed to go over well, though I dont appear to be as deep as the oher kids in my class, perhaps its because Im so used to analyzing my work formally, I dont like contrived, hidden meanings, if its a picture of a duck, than to me its just a duck, not a metaphor for world hunger.

Project 2 was the language project, I still hate talking, I decided to make a power point about emotions, and those emotions responding to different colors, red is rage, orange is greed, yellow is fear, green is will, blue is hope, indigo is compassion violet is love, and black is death. Thats the emotional spectrum according to dc comics mythos, this is all in preperation for the green lantern event coming this summer "blackest night" Later kids
