the social network

I usually try to blog about something we read in class or at least a topic that was discussed instead of random things about art but I think I'm allowed a random art blog post because one, we didn't have class this week and two, we all wrote 5 pages analyzing art so yeah.

This isn't totally random but we have talked about the different mediums of art including painting, photography, and the topic of this entry- film. I know some people won't consider recent movies exactly "art" but I went to the premiere of the Social Network Thursday night and yeah, it was art. It wasn't art in a necessarily visual way but the whole movie was so intense and if I think about why, it's partly due to the storyline but what the spectator is most impacted by at every moment during the film is what you see and hear directly in front of you. I'm not going to write a movie review but the cast, the script, the music- it all combined to create art that I fully enjoyed and appreciated. Let's show some support for our Hollywood friends who produce works of art because it's one medium of art we can all enjoy while sitting down with a box of popcorn.
