today is the final day of class

reflect on the past 45 days of class.

what did you enjoy? what did you dislike?

what would you like to have learned?

what can you take away from this class?

I enjoyed pretty much the whole class.  when i first started illustrator, i didn't have any love for it, and after taking this class i have grown to love it.  I like the style of vector art, so this class has taught me how to create it.  there isn't anything off the top of my head that i can think of that i disliked, other than the afore mentioned that i didn't like illustrator to begin with.  i just wish i could have spent more time with it, because i'm really enjoying working with illustrator.

i make you weak at the worst of all times

i keep you safe, i keep you fine

i make your hands sweat and your heart grow cold.

i visit the weak, but seldom the bold.

i afflict men and women, both young and old

i will command your attention, but seldom deserve it.

what am i?

i thought fear but it doesn't keep you fine?  or does it?

parallel we always go.

when things get hard we rarely show

a history of time gone by 

though time will face us by and by

the more that you take of me

the more of me you have to leave.

what am i?

experience?

footprints

be you ever so quick, with vision so keen,

by your eyes, we are never seen.

unless perchance it should come to pass,

you see our reflection in the looking glass.

who are we?

eyes.

on a recent tv show, a woman admitted that she had cheated on her husband and would leave him if her ex boyfriend would have her, she had lied on her resume and she was once arrested for stealing from her employer, and yet she still considered herself a good person?

what is your definition of "good"? in a paragraph or two explain what constitutes a bad person is does or does not do.

to me a bad person is one who is a compulsive liar, only does things that will benefit themselves, very two faced.   bad people aren't patient, considerate or generally nice.  they think of the worst first and expect all the bad things in the world to happen to them.  generally, bad people are just people i do not care to be around and avoid at all costs.  in the paragraph above, there could have been reasons why the woman did what she did and would consider herself a good person still.  her husband could have been abusive, she might have lied about how long she worked at a job or why she quit because she was embaressed, and maybe the stealing was accidental.  who knows.
