Week of September 15^th and 17^th: Painting with a “twist” and more discussion

            In class on the 15^th, we finished off our discussion of the assigned reading (pages 77-101). This time in class we talked about what are basic rights of humans as pertaining Bill or Rights around the world. As a class, we agreed that as a Human being it is your right to pursue happiness, be treated fairly and justly. Dr. Johnson asked us what are definition of “fair” was, and we discussed how as a human, you should not be subject to harsh or unfair treatment, and should have the right to express your opinions and live life as you see fit. We talked about how this could have repercussions, since one person living their life as they see fit is bound to infringe on the rights and beliefs of another.

            I believe that as a human being, you should live life the way you want to, but to an extent. Once your beliefs and lifestyle start to harm another person physically, then you are not living a life that is fair and just.

            In class on September 17^th, Dr. Johnson had someone from Painting with a twist in Lubbock come and show us how to do it. Throughout the class period, she walked us through step by step of how to draw, paint and color in our piece (which was a drawing of Texas with a cowboy hat and a Texas Tech mustache), along with talking to us about different painting strokes and techniques. In the end, my drawing came out horrible, but I really enjoyed the experience. It was fun having someone come into our class and teach us another way to do art.
