The Egg Class-January 26, 2009

Today we reviewed everyone's project. There were some interesting tangents in the direction the projects went from egg tempura paints, to After Effects, to egg beer, and egg diaries that ended up on the floor. I liked the crucified egg idea alot because of the tie-in with the saying from some aetheist person. It was inventive and thought provoking. It made me think of the recent movie Religulous by Bill Mayher. Usually, if someone precedes their project with "I hope this doesn't offend anyone.".....that means I'll probably like it. People put too much validity to their thoughts and take too many opportunities to be offended.
We discussed the next assignment.....what if.......
