Synesthesia

By Anonymous

Synesthesia is a perceptual condition that mixes senses. 

Because of this, people can see, smell, even taste music as they listen to it. (It can cause a lot of other things too but this is just what I focused on). 

I actually learned about it in psychology a little bit but I found some paintings on Twitter that people did showing how they perceive different songs! I thought it was so interesting and it's crazy to me how even though the artwork is so abstract, I can always see the relation to the song! Music is so important to my life, as I'm sure it is for you guys as well and I would encourage looking into this! It's pretty cool to see some of your favorite songs brought to life in these paintings! Here's just a couple of examples that I found on a website!

    Wow. I think I've heard of this before but I've never actually seen it in a visual form before that's so cool that some people can sense these things (I wonder what songs taste really bad, lol) I'm hoping to take psych next year too I hope it's fun.

    I love this because music is definitely an inspiration for me, but I didn't know there was an actual term for seeing things in music. I love how colorful and abstract these are! The paintings are very expressive of each song.

    This is seriously so cool, I love that the colors go with the music and the vibe of the artist and song. Its so interesting to think about music in this new way.

    I really love all of these because I feel as if all of these tie the songs and artists together and create a certain theme for the song!

    This is awesome! I've heard that one of my favorite singers, Marina Diamandis, actually has synesthesia! Apparently she associates colors with all of her music. Fascinating concept and beautiful art!!

    That's crazy cool! It makes music a much more tangible thing for people. Beautiful concept and art.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

By Anonymous
FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

By Anonymous
      Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
