And Just When You Thought...

...I would write a long post after last week...

Once again I am slammed with things to do, so although my last post was also lacking in much wordage and writing effort I will again be posting videos this week.

This is a poet and teacher that one of my professors showed our class - his name is Taylor Mali. I thought he could entertain you while I work on a post of more substance. Those that are education majors should really appreciate his presentations.

And just when you thought...

...Architecture wasn't art...

Meet Antoni Gaudi.
Gaudi was an amazing architectural artist from the late 1800's into the early 1900's, he created magnificent works of art nouveau, mainly in Barcelona, Spain. I must say, if I were forced to choose a favorite artist it would be Gaudi. He created architecture and furniture, but in a unique manner that goes beyond anything that I have ever seen. He had an ability to blend the organic contours and forms of nature into his structures, and took lessons from what God had already given as original artistic example. Each building that he created is a testament of creativity and a resistance to artificiality of monumental proportion. His use of various mediums, mosaic, texture, and especially flowing form in his structures is genuine, inspirational, and pure creative genius.
