“Be Generous” is a layer that basically says that you should get involved in things that don’t cost money, write an essay, make a song, ect. This economy rewards people that give and help support one another. This type of economy helps create new ideas and build faster. The next layer after that is called, “Make Art” and it says that art is a way to make a difference and create a connection. It also states that art isn’t always just a poem or drawing but it can be created by any of us. The last layer is called, “Learn”. This layer is the key of them all. This layer says that you first go to school to learn trade then end up with the same job for the rest of your life, which is a joke. This layer says you can always learn and take a new path.
I think that these Layers are connected to this blog creating for this quarter because the blogs are intended to help you get used to writing or critiquing on various forms of art and things related to art. These layers of reinventing yourself are intentionally trying to give you insight into how to become more artistic and give you a view that you don’t normally see. The last layer, “LEARN” definitely has a big connection to all the blogs because it basically says you can always learn you just have to give yourself a chance. You pick the path that you are going to go down. It’s all up to you. These layers definitely can help make you a better person, artist, and/or student depending on how you use them. By using the “Be Generous” layer it can make you become a better person by learning to give without planning on getting something back. If people plan on always getting something back when they give then they don’t put all the effort into what their giving but if you learn to give without getting back you can create things way better than you could with your new mindset. The “Make Art” layer can get you to become a better artist by informing you that art isn’t always the typical form of art and can made out of nothing. It just takes time and ideas. These blog assignments also help me get used to a new way to express my ideas. I think that to “Learn” you must do it through mistakes. I think that if you fail at something it is one of the best ways to gain knowledge of a subject and “fail” is one of the methods to reinvent yourself. I also believe that the blogs help you create a form of art in our own way, through our own words. This helps originate ideas. I think these exercises can definitely better you as a person but truthfully it’s how you take the information given to you and how you choose to use it. I chose Be Generous, Make Art, and Learn because those were the three layers that I read and really connected to me and I thought I could use for myself. The “Brainwashed” article by Seth Godin is a great article that really can help you start on a new path to either better yourself or make yourself into someone new.
