Ted Talk Response

So I chose to write this on Yarn Bombing. This talk was released in 2015 and the speaker is Magda Sayeg. She talks about the desensitization of the real world and how everyone is so connected to technology. She states that some may find a connection with seeing a stop sign pole wrapped in yarn. It's really interesting because she has a point. We don't really think to look around and when we do and we see something odd like maybe a bus covered in yarn and I mean COVERED, you look at it differently. She had started wrapping things she'd seen everyday like a door handle in yarn. The yarn bombed areas got people out of their cars and houses, it hooked people and wasn't harming anyone. I thought it was nice. It can get people to think and look outside and see something real I guess you could say.

She wanted to do something big that caught attention since it brought her joy and it was her passion. Wrapping objects in knitting has become a thing around the world apparently which I had never seen and I didn't know this was a thing before this Ted Talk. She took something fun and turned it into what at that time seemed to be her job. Apparently she can't knit a sweater but she can definitely cover a stop sign pole or a bus in knitting.

So he is known online pretty well and his works are so good and detailed and they make me think of video games since his sculptures or most of them are of characters like Batman or Superman.

Animal Difference

The two animals I think are visually different are wolves and sharks. In a 3D way, wolves and sharks are different. Some ways that wolves are visually interesting are because compared to sharks, they're a land animal and an aquatic animal. The tail of a shark and the ears of a wolf both are completely different and yet they both have the same appeal to me. Sculpturally wolf ears, shark tails and dorsal fins.
