blog 7

I think that society is what leads to art. Popular types of art changes through the times because the culture changes. It also explains why different types of art are popular in different countries, because the culture is different. Art was also used to document and event or describe something going on in society at that time. People used to be very influenced by art. Now people are still interested in art and appreciate it, but we don't use it as much for entertainment. Our entertainment has become the media. Commercials are designed to influence watchers, and magazines show celebrities doing community service, then a bunch of people decide to copy that.

assignment 6

Much like the Dutch appreciated their country a long time ago, today , at least in Los Gatos, we appreciate the country. My friends and I like to go up to the top of the mountains and enjoy the view. We usually go around sunset and bring dinner. We also like to go by Vasona Lake. The lake is absolutely amazing and it is so relaxing. Even as cities are expanding we are still able to find joy in nature and really appreciate it.
