I hope you get hired! That would be cool.
And with all the convenient coincidences of your free wireless and shit, it would be just that damn convenient.
But that is useless information.
Let's talk 'bout your proposed courses.
Of the three, I would be most excited to take "Beyond the Studio".
As much as I like the formal art setting (fucking white walls and fancy rigged lighting that is a pain in the bitch and a half to make work properly) I would love to get a better handle on art in other settings.
Hopefully, settings that would allow for some more/different/exponentially better meanings and topics to be explored.
In particular, I would hope that my personal favorite medium of ceramics could be utilized to an even more interesting extent. It has a very unique bond with the outdoors (being raw earth and all) and I would do my best to abused that relationship.
It also, if properly constructed, is durable as fuck. Woooooooo!
I had an idea for a piece that would just involve thousands of cups, coating an area. In a place with significant rainfall.
I'd like to do that oneday.
Oneday.
But I'm also not continuing my education at UCSB so I can't take this course, even if it were to be offered.
I can only wish Des the best in her luck. And jot down my own project idea for future use.
And that's it.

Reeds.
John Cage.
Hehe. Cages.
Anyways.
I had no idea he was a composer.
(I actually had very little idea of who he was at all, but that is neither here nor there.)
It is interesting to read about his musical exploits in the 1940-60s.
His work with various weather Japanese patrons and the NY Philharmonic are delightful. Acoustically.
I've always considered music as one of the most widespread and infectious forms of art.
The medium is sound waves and, due to their ease of dispersal, they are appreciated by every living being that can hear.
It's interesting to be that this particular medium of art has become so popular that it is considered separate from "art art" when, in actuality, there isn't a different.
Cage's dealings with and apprenticeship under Schonberg (stupid typing system)were humorous. I always think the best teachers are the ones that both make you love them and annoy the fuck out of you.
There is something about that that motivates people beyond either on their own.
Ah well. A good read about music and art.
And that's it.
