Today, we, as students, discovered that the purpose of this class is to view the world in new and creative ways: ways that may be considered abnormal by some or even crazy by others. However, a more adequate term for crazy in this situation would be misunderstood.
Thinking outside of the box is often frowned upon in society. Culture provides us with both physical and emotional expectations on how to live, whether we live in a "free country" or not.
Beth had us arrange our chairs in a circle to provide a sense of unity and comfort, which could allow people to share their ideas more freely than an authoritarian environment.
Our first assignment, The Egg and Eye, will allow us to embrace our differences in perception of a single object: an egg. An egg is simple at first glance, yet it can be modified in a variety of ways for different purposes. I am excited to see the variety of ways my classmates utilize the eggs this upcoming week.
