Question 3
I learned that only 42% of the pictures online are original, the rest are either reused or retweeted. I also learned that each Tumblr is a combination of both Wordpress and Twitter and that is one of the reasons it is unique. And thirdly I learned that Tumblr helps reach a large audience through blogging that even wordpress and twitter struggle to reach
Question Two
In the chapter, they say that blogs are “difficult and expensive” (p.129), why is that?
Question 1
What I learned from the chapter is the certain factors being addressed that eases the process of obtaining news. These factors include immediacy which addresses how it is less time consuming to read the news and to stay up-to-date with it if it is available online rather than having to wait until the next issue of the newspaper to read the news. Another factor is flexibility which talks about how there are several forms of multimedia on the internet and finally permanence which describes how everything posted online is stored automatically and easy to refer back to.
From a Distance: Federico Winer Views of Earth Below
The vision of the distance has always been captivating for man. Seeing the horizon from the top of a mountain or from the seaside, raising our heads and look to the sky and stars. The technical intermediums expanded the possibilities of the vision: air balloons, planes and satellites as intermediums of distance; lens, cameras and screens as intermediums of proximity. But the enormity of that distance was supported by mankind long before by another surprising gimmick: maps. From Babylonian clay tablets to the amazing Google Earth, maps are the way we deal with the distances in our world. Maps are ways of seeing, interpret and read the world. Watching a map is like watching a picture, a way to start travelling. But the maps, as human creations, can’t escape from the bright side of it inherent humanity, as a representations of the earth made by man maps can show its beauty. Maps are a form of art.
From that experience emerges ULTRADISTANCIA by Federico Winer. Endless travels, permitted by the satellite imagery of Google Earth, over the earth geography to the encounter of forms and architectures, topographies and contrasts. Natural and human creations and the crossbreed of both. Cities, airports, roads and mountains. Lakes, parks and crops. Kaleidoscopes of shapes, colors and geometries. Although sometimes the distance does not allow us to see us down there, we know we are there.

A part of this blogpost says “Maps are a form of art.” and I always think that art comes in millions of forms. That is why I chose this post to reblog.

I was called talentless so many times when I was growing up. Little did I know, I had a talent in me which is drawing. I worked really hard on developing my talent by going to several art lessons and luckily now I have completed 7 original paintings. Art is my inspiration for several things in life, including the theme I chose.
You can never learn enough techniques when it comes to painting. I improve my painting by watching numerous videos online.
When drawing eyes express plenty of deep meanings simply because they act as a window to your thoughts
Art is the only way to run away without leaving home
Twyla Tharp
To me, art is the only way I can let go of my worries and stress and that is why I agree with the quote.
You can never hear the word art and not remember the Mona Lisa painting. Almost everyone knows about the Mona Lisa and how she is special because of how her eyes are, however, did you know that most people had never heard of the Mona Lisa until it was stolen in 1911. The painting was over 350 years old before critics and scholars began to recognize it as a masterpiece, and even then, it was mostly unknown outside of the art world.
The Lovers (1928)
Rene Magritte
This painting is called The Lovers and it was painted in the year 1928. Regardless of how both faces in the painting are veiled and covered, you can still make assumptions and understand exactly what is going on. You are free to understand this beautiful painting however you want to.
Kamloops Winterby Laurazee
The best thing about abstract paintings is that there is no right or wrong. You draw whatever you want in whatever way you want to draw it. And that is what makes abstract paintings very beautiful and special. When you don’t have guidelines to follow you are completely free to express everything.

Try looking at this illustration for over 10 seconds and you will automatically get dizzy and lose focus. These kinds of drawings are called psychedelic drawings where you get a feel of how hallucinations feel like.

The artist in the painting made the ‘green-ness’ look alive. This was done by adding people inside the blurriness to make them stand out in a way where they seem alive. You may not notice the people in the painting unless you pay close attention to the details used, and that is what art is all about. Green usually symbolizes purity and the beauty of the “mother nature” this makes you think as if the woman in the painting is mother nature herself.
