I was surprised to find out how much I enjoyed the Charlie Chaplin films. Even without words or color the practical jokes were still very funny. With the little I know about him, he seems like he was quite the business man. To have made a million dollars in the year 1918, he had to […]
Landmarks of Early Cinema 1894-1913
It was an interesting day watching the movies for class. I had two points that I thought about while watching. One was my reaction to the films, and the other was the reaction of the original audience that the movies were made for. I must admit my point of view was not very enthusiastic. The […]

El mundo de mañana
El mundo de mañana sería muy diferente que el mundo de hoy día. Si podríamos cambiar al año 2100 veríamos muchos cambios.

Glass Art
I think that glass art is by far my favorite type of art that we have seen throughout the semester. I really enjoy the many different qualities it has to offer to even someone without much knowledge on the subject. The many colors and shapes with abstract designs really draw in your attention.
