4A blog assignment
Link to the article "Brainwashed"

In Seth Godin’s writing, “Brainwashed”, the Acknowledge the Lizard telling us the main reason why we are afraid to make arts. The main reason is we don’t want to be laughed at. Therefore we don’t want to dislike others. Being difference makes us fear. We must ignore this feeling, stop care too much about other’s laughing.

The last layer is Learn. In short, learning is never stopping. We learn everyday from different people and experiences. Learning something everyday, and challenging us.

Today my friend and I were talking about the blog assignment, which we both don’t finish yet. When we mentioned the audio assignment, she said she don’t want to do it in library, because it makes her feel uncomfortable. I am totally agreed with her. I think it’s because we are afraid of being laughed at by others, even most times they don’t really care. Every time we finished the lab project, we have to post it online, I thought it’s also an acknowledging the lizard, because our workings is going to be evaluating by our classmates and even strangers. I actually think it’s a pretty good way to challenge myself. I was thinking if we post our working on Youtube, and let more people evaluating the works may challenging us a lot more.

Doing every blog assignment is not only homework but is always a process of learning. We are not only learning and understanding words, which taught in class, but also learning other things beside our course. For example, when I am working on the first blog, even I am very familiar with the animator, Hayao Miyazaki, but I actually never considered how does his animation affect me and educated me. His animations have many different aspects for me to learn. Therefore writing a blog assignment is also a good way to learning things beside class. For suggestion, maybe we can write anything we want in the blog every week. It can be a song we sing, music we play, or even a short animation we made. That might be helpful to be more creative.
