Entry 1

Today's class taught about how previous thoughts are remixed to create new and creative ideas. We watched the video called "Everything's a remix" which showed some of they ideas from movies and successful music records the themes have come from old or previous made ideas of someone else. An example that was brought from the video was how computer companies copied ideas from the Xerox to make things more efficient like the Macintosh. 

There was also mentions of the Scribes about them having strict and professional life style. They are needed to prefect their work and if they make a mistake they'll have to start over from the beginning. They also find creative ways to illustrate their work. Scribes sometimes suffered for their work and faced threats from their work being evil. 

Reflections:

I thought class was very informative and unique. It's a knew way for me to learn and I enjoyed the way Dorian presented the lecture. He gave a more wacky and crazy style of teaching compared to the regular way it's taught with other professors. It really caught my attention to what was required for the lesson and how to memorize without cramming your braincells on multiple subjects. He was also relatable on how an art student deals with having to learn history as a requirement for college. It helped to learn about how things from famous movie I enjoyed happened to have copied a lot of information from a variety of classic movie scenes and make a fantastic piece millions of people have enjoyed. 

The life of a Scribe was full of difficult challenges that it make me think our generation has it easy with using technology for our everyday life. I was a little envious of the talent of their writing and the dedication they have for their work no matter how many revisions they had to do when they tried to correct a mistake.
