With my last DMA post I just want to take time to write about what I learned in this class. At the beginning of this class I was very skeptical and uninterested in everything we were talking about, because I was not in the right mindset for the class at all. My mindset was, get through this class as easily as you can because you are a psychology major in a DMA class, you will never need to know any of this. However, as the class continued I became more interested with what we were talking about and the media in which we were covering. What changed it for me was the sand animation. It blew my mind that someone could make animation with just sand and moving it around, something that I would never be able to do or even have the patience to do.
Caroline Leaf's sand animation is absolutely amazing, and to have the ability and patience to do this is amazing. At this point in the class I changed how I was viewing everything. I now valued the things we were watching and talking about. Through this class I have expanded my horizons and have a greater appreciation for all the types of media we have talked about. We have talked about things that I have never talked about before, and the best part about this class is that Leeper is not afraid to say what is on his mind and not afraid to play the devils advocate to stir things up. Overall, I am glad I took this class and it has given me an appreciation for all digital media arts, kudos to all you DMA majors.
Oh, and MERRY CHRISTMAS
