Everything Malena lectured about today was very similar to what my english teacher lectured about a few classes ago. First off, she stated that in art you are writing and in english you are continuously writing. Also, both processes need sources. Both artists and writers need information, inspiration and facts from different sources, such as films, the internet, other writers/artists. Both are/can be creative and both have an audience and need to think about who their audiences are. Most of all, each one is trying to get a voice out. Both english/writing and art are very similar.

I am very interested into the wilderness, so I checked out the site www.greenmuseum.org. I found the task, Meadowsweet Dairy (a collaborative group of sculptors) very interesting. I found the quote in their biography true: "We share a deep commitment to the notion that art has a job to do." For people who think art is for just doing to do it is wrong, in my opinion. Art forms opinions, beliefs, events- art has numerous jobs. I'm really into the environment and it makes me excited that they not only make art but they clean up trash from neglected areas and make their "beauty accessible".
