Blue.....

..My favorite color is blue. Now that that's put out of the way, let's get into the more "deeper" stuff. I'm not a real huge fan of blogging, so excuse me for completely disgracing the English language in text talk. First off, I need to define art. The hardest part is that there is no specific definition for art. It can take many forms such as painting, writing, drawing, etc. In my personal opinion, art is what defines your personal views into the form of visual creativity. It's what you put your heart and soul into that defines who you are. One of my most favorite artists who has influenced me to believe in that sort of thing was John Lasseter. To those of you who don't know who this man is, he is the co-founder, animator, and director of the animation studio known as Pixar. He is also known to be our generation's current Walt Disney. What makes him a great figure is that during his days in college, he failed so many times working as an animator that it cost him his career in Walt Disney Studios. With little money in his pocket, he teamed up with three other animators and created the Pixar Studio, with the help of Lucas Films. From his first computer-animated short, Luxor Jr., its popularity sky-rocketed through the roof and lead the company to their first animated movie known as, Toy Story.....Does that sound interesting?...at all?
