My Geography Video

My favourite image*

I had picked an image from the photo album which is located under the heading gallery. I really enjoyed a picture where it is foggy and there is a mountain located in the background. I really enjoy this picture because this is a picture which expresses the climate from all over the world. As in Canada there are many places which turn foggy during the day or in the morning hours. My favourite picture from the http://www.gleamix.jp/ portfolio is located under this statement.

My opinion on the Gleamix portfolio*

The Gleamix portfolio is such an interesting portfolio. It has many nice paintings and many different lettering's as graffities which I really enjoyed to see. The galleries were magnificent, the paintings had many themes which I liked as family, friends e.t.c.


The design of the page is beautiful because of the nice Chinese paintings,and photos. I really liked how there are two languages on the portfolio. The languages are Chinese and English. This page has many links to many beautiful Chinese paintings and photos.Hopefully you enjoy the paintings and photos as much as I did.


There are many examples I will show under this statement:

My Favourite Optical Toy

What I thought about the Laura Hayes and John Howard Wileman Exhibit of Optical Toys website,is that it is very interesting.The optical toys in this website looks like if they were really fun to play between the periods of the eighteen and nineteen hundreds.I think this because during those time periods,there were no such things as Bratz,Barbies or technology toys as now a days.Therefore it was better to have these toys then nothing.I also enjoy the information that it gives about each toy.As the history,who invented it and if the optical toys still exist.


My favourite optical toy from the website is the"Chromatrope."In my opinion I think this is the best toy,because I think it is really the only optical toy that looks colourful,in the website.It includes the colours red,yellow and blue,and I really enjoy toys which are interesting,exciting and colourful that is why I picked this optical toy.I have also seen the"Chromatrope"optical toy at a museum.At the right of this page,you will see a picture of this optical toy.


The"Chromatrope"worked by a mechanical slide,which meant the optical toy had moving parts inside.There are different mirrors which had different colours that moved.The"Chromatrope"was made of disks of glass and moved while a handle was being rotated.The handle would not move the disks of glass,but the other pieces inside the opitical toy direct it to move.Then the disks of colourful pieces of glass start to move.

One of my concerns from this website is if there were any other optical toys existing during the eighteen,nineteen hundreds?


This is the optical toy I have chosen as my favourite.

Barbara Kruger

What I think about Barbara Kruger's work is that it is amazing! I really think I like the one about being yourself. (I will display an example of the picture as a link on my blog.)I think her work is amazing because,she puts such strong words into her pieces of art,which somehow can be words that explain about an individual person.Barbara Kruger is an artist that likes Multi media she also likes to put strong words,and she likes to put many reds,whites and blacks in her pieces of art.

What I think of the piece of art which my first period Cyber ARTSp teacher has on her blog, is that it is a good piece of art, because somehow it might be true.In my point of view I do no think that human beings were made to only shop.I think we were made to build up a future. In my point of view I think that the "I" represents the person who you are.I do not think that the things that we buy do not define us,because some people buy some clothes that does not look good on them but just because they dress like that it doesn't mean that is how they are.For example I know many people that dress in black and look like punks,but when you meet them they are really sweet and generous.

Possessions are not most important to finding out who we are in the world because,first of all I explained that you should not judge people by there cover.First of all,people might look different from the outside but when you meet them,you find out that they are really loving and caring.
