time

(Jenny Lewis by Autumn De Wilde)

I think this photo illustrates time in many ways. It shows the time that passes in life between being a child and an adult. It shows quality time spent between two people. The little girl trying to act older than she really is shows the eagerness we sometimes feel for time to pass. Something a little less obvious would be the vintage styles of the clothing... show the evolution of clothing and how past can work in present day. This picture also describes the time it takes for a girl to get ready...

The concept of this class kind of throws me off. Hopefully by the end of the semester I will understand what exactly "time studio" is... to me time is just a way of measuring when things are happening and when things did happen and what's coming next. Past, present, and future. I'm really horrible at being on time so I'm finding that thinking about time in this much detail is making me kind of uncomfortable. It's making me think of the pressure you feel when you're trying to get somewhere at a certain time or rushing to finish a project minutes before class starts. Time passes entirely too fast when you want it to never end. And sometimes, kind of like right now, I feel like I've been sitting here for endless amounts of time and I desperately want something to happen. The beginning of time, being born, and the end, dying, are relevant. Time isn't tangible. It's really strange that an art class is based around it as a foundation.
