Raul Cuero's interview


Raul Cuero's interview on creativity was filled with so much interesting information.  In the beginning he talks about how both his parents could not read or write but he promised himself he would never be like that so he focused extra hard in school to be the person he wanted.  When he went to Colombia for school he experienced discrimination for the first time and people would make him think that he had no value off the basketball court.  He turned his negativity into something positive and furthered his education so he could prove himself to people.  

 He now has nine scientific inventions to his name and is very successful.
I think that is all people were like him more people would be successful and happy.  This is be applied to everyone by focusing on your dream and not letting people stop you on your way there.

One thing that Raul Cuero said is that "good things take time" and "everything is a process".  I 100% agree with this because nothing can come overnight.  In order to get what you want out of like you need to work for it.  Even if something is handed to you, it won't feel as good if you were to work hard for it.  He is a perfect example of this because of how hard he work to be successful in life.

Performance Art

For my performance art piece, my group, decided to build a snowman in the middle of plant park.  Being that we are in Florida, which never gets any snow, this would draw a lot of attention to us.  We sat on the group and took white plastic cups and stapled them together to get the three snowman balls.  One of the girls I was working with has never had the opportunity to build a snowman.  However, me being from Delaware, which gets snow constituently through January and February, I've build plenty of snowmen.  We got a lot of weird looks from people as they walked by and wondered what we were doing.  One women even came up to us and asked if this was for a class.  Our three influences for this piece were : Gilbert & George - The Singing Sculpture  which is an 8 hour singing sculpture performance. I like how they took the a idea of a sculpture which is an inanimate object and made it live. Stelarc's "Ear on Arm"  sculpture and project. Stelarc had several art piece
