I really enjoyed this lecture that Professor Stringfellow gave. She gave me great insight on the graduate program at SDSU. Although i was still unsure about what kind of program they had there, i was relieved to know that there is studio/fine arts @ SDSU. It really made me think about my future and i really want to apply at SDSU.
I really found her lecture about the homestead project very interesting. She explained a lot of stories of the people who use to live in those homesteads and those people had great stories themselves. Professor Stringfellow really seems passionate about the work she does, and she chose a great thing to document because people who use to live and still live in those homesteads are passionate people. What i really found amazing was the tour you can take to see some of the homesteads, all you have to do is drive down the 5 and have the pdf and audio file with you.
The Salton Sea project was astonishing i thought. When she was explaining about the community around the sea i found it interesting to know that people make a living with all the salt in the sea. She then explained that the fish living at the sea die because of the salinity of the sea. She showed us pictures of a torn apart Tilapia, it was gross to see it pulled apart like that.
Overall, i believe i learned a lot about some people’s passions in life. If i can devote my life to tell a story through art i believe i will become a great person myself.
