Some of the things I first observed while viewing this sculpture was the position the woman has on the circle. She appears to be casually stepping through the piece, but the torque of her hips on a normal person would be almost too angular to be comfortably standing for any long period […]
Through the presentations that were done in our last week of FIG, I was able to realize how much we have learned in this class. It was a good recap of what we have covered and I really did learn a lot at the end of the day. In the first presentation we discussed how […]
During this group project my focus was to study the basics of food harvesting, processing and distributing. I was actually very interested with what I was researching because I didn’t know much about how my food found its way to my fridge. One of the most interesting parts to me was the distribution of the […]

The overall presentation was vey insightful from all four groups. For me it became more clear as to how important it is too eat healthy and how easy it is to be subjected to unhealthy food. I think the presentations really made more aware of what I am consuming and made me think more carefully about […]

This project addressed the benefits of growing your own food/locally grown foods are for not only good for your health but for the […]
Growing up in Orange County I have never been exposed to growing and eating organic fresh foods. My parents always taught me to eat my fruits and vegetables and to keep a colorful plate because it was good for you but I did not know about how organic food is so much healthier for you. […]
I thought the presentations were great! They were informative and I learned that it takes a lot of effort into growing food, such as planning out how many crops to farm, how well the crops are growing, will there be enough, and so on. The presentations made me more motivated to […]
