When you think of art, what comes to mind? Do you personally like art? If so, what kind of art? If we think about it, we all like art in some shape or form. For some, art is a beautiful oil painting on canvas. To another, art is expressed through dance, while to another, it is expressed through one's fingers as one molds and shapes new objects made with clay.

Did you know that written text can also be art? All of YOU are to be my new artists...I would like all of you to be artists with the freedom to express yourselves in any way that you would like. Every Sunday evening or Monday morning, I will post the topic for you to write about. Once you have read my topic, you will need to write your responses on your own blog. Your responses ought to be 1-2 paragraphs in length, but you should not spend more than 30 minutes writing them. Be sure to title each blog entry with "Topic #__:" and then your own title.

Next, you will need to comment on your classmates' blogs. Each student needs to leave a 2-3 sentences comment on two other students' blogs in order to receive credit per week.

Your responses and comments will need to be completed by 11:00 p.m. every Saturday. There will be no exception! Therefore, plan on completing this assignment before the Saturday day deadline in order to ensure that you receive full credit, which will be 10 points for each week. I will be leaving a comment on each blog I read to indicate to you that I have read your blog.

On a final note, these blogs are intended to be fun and to allow you to display your creativity. Be adventurous and express yourselves! Although we may occasionally use some of your blog entries for grammar practice, these blogs are primarily focused on content. Nonetheless, aim at your very best for grammatical accuracy. Above all, though, have fun!!

Topic #2: Tall or Short?

How many of you are content with your height?  Do you wish you were taller?  Shorter?  I am 5' 2", which equals approximately 155 cm.  When I was younger, I wanted to be at the height of 5' 7".  However, I realized that I was not going to get there despite all the milk I drank.  Therefore, I tried to establish a more realistic goal of 5' 4".  Sadly, I never made it there either.  Hence, I am at my current height of 5' 2".  
My question for you this week is if you had to either be 3 feet or 8 feet, which would you choose and why?  I myself am heavily debating on this, for I always validated my short height with the benefit of wearing tall shoes.  However, at 3 feet, no matter how tall my shoes are, I will still be SHORT.  Therefore, I think I would rather be 8 feet.  I think there may be more benefits to being taller than short.  For instance, I will not have a problem reaching for items that are so high up.  That is always my demise now.  What about all of you?  Would you rather be 3 feet or 8 feet?  Why?
