HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS:

A. What aspects of Irwin's working process, life path, or thinking did you relate to and why? B. What useful advice, tips, ideas did you gain from the video?

A.) Honestly I don't relate to Irwin's work at all!!!!!!! And i don't want to!!!!! Cant believe he painted those line paintings for two years!!!!!!! 5 months is more than enough time surely to reach his goal in those paintings and to learn and edit them!! I related to and liked how he questioned every thing and became very curious about his work towards the end of the video/ his newer work. His use of color became much better. Life path is pretty ideal, he never stopped making work and got famous, unfortunately cant say that i relate to the famous part, but the never stop making work part is relatable because we're both artists.

B.) Editing, made me think about how i go about editing in my own work and what needs to be done.

-What is manifestation really?
-What happens when the spaces in between that we cant see, but feel are made physical?
-What's in a word any ways?

-Sometimes i think Sarah has adopted some futurist (Futurism) theories and philosophies and reinterpreted them for herself

-"we bled like the rarest peacocks..."
