DAAP Building

At first glance the DAAP building on the University Of Cincinnati campus is just an awkwardly placed, disorganized pile of off centered and tilted rectangles. To a certain degree, this is truthful, but also there is a complex history to the pastel colored building. The building began as an art school that would cater to the production arts, but after the Great Depression the perspective of art changed in many people. Jay Chatterjee became the dean of the program in 1982 and began to combine the works of Michael Graves, Bernard Tschumi, Henry Cobb to make this new and improved building. The most iconic side of the school was added in 1995 and named the Aronoff Center for Design and Art. Today, the DAAP building is an iconic building in the United States and is home to one of the best art programs in the nation.

    DAAP is very cool and I visited UC and got to go through DAAP and talk to a professor about communicative design and fine arts and it was very cool getting to know what they hold in that building.

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......

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

      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.
