Art lecture week #4


Last week we watched two movies in class and discussed its similarities.  The movies were: Inception, which was filmed in 2010, and the Matrix, which was filmed in 1999.  We compared about how both stories were about reality and dreams.  In Inception, Leonardo is teaching Ellen Page how to architect the world in their dreams.  In The Matrix, Morpheus trains Neo how to fight in a different world.  These movies are both alike because they both have a "different" world.  We used these videos to discuss in class about what defines reality.  Glen then asked the class a question which was; "How could one tell if something is real or not?"  A student answered how our senses of emotion depicts reality.  "We smell, taste, see reality."  After our discussion we then planned a potluck that is going to happen for next week's class.  We are going to eat and make videos using our laptops.
