This week's lecture has got me thinking.....what is reality? When I think of reality, I think of what I'm doing this very moment. I always thought reality is what we see, what we feel, what we smell. But, in class, when students shared their ideas of reality, it really got me thinking. Some say, reality can even be in our dreams? Never alone, have I thought about that one. Of course everyone is going to have a different opinion on this one. Theres no right or wrong. I say reality means a lot of different things to people. Dreams can't be reality, but I believe that you can make them to be. Like say, if you dream about something you wish to become, it can really turn into reality if you put your mind, time and effort to get there.
As for the cave paintings; I really wish there was no microorganisms because then humans going in and out of the cave won't have to worry that someday the cave will be in ruins. Just so I can look up at it someday and say "lets go visit that one cave" because I think it would be so cool to experience that. But, with life being full of imperfections, of course we have to have microorganisms. I think the disney version of cave #2 is pretty lame. I'm not so interested in visiting someday. Knowing that there was once cool caves such as the one Glenn was talking about, makes me curious to wonder about other caves that has not been discovered yet. I just wish caves could stay intact forever so people can have the chance to experience that.
How are art and reality related? Can one imagine art? One can imagine art and put that on a canvas. Imagination can be an inspiration or even motivation to go to the direction your imagining of. What you imagine is like a thought. It makes you think and what makes you think can then be moved onto a canvas. So, what is reality? That really depends on the person. Each individual will have a different answer. Reality to me, is what YOU put on to that canvas or any other form of art.
