Yasue I like this

Yasue is a 37 year old woman from Illinois, USA.
Hello! As of 11/08: I'm a non-traditional student who wanted to teach art, until No Child Left Behind dashed that dream.

My educational goals are still malleable; as I encounter new fields of study, I am tailoring much of it to my ultimate goal: a mobile art program that utilizes digital technology to bring the development of creative intelligence and critical thinking to schools which have lost the funding/freedom for this vital aspect of student development. Rather than going the route of getting a degree in secondary education, I have decided to pursue Publishing as a major, as grant writing will be a key skill for attaining backing. After getting a degree in Publishing (with a focus on New Media) I will apply to grad school, and if I am still sane enough, I will head in the direction of a Phd. The plan: gain the skills needed to teach at the collegiate level. It's complicated. Questions? Ask!

For the record, I'm notorious for my tyops. :

In short: Why I think Bansky may be one of the most important artists working today....

In this era technology dominates life. Pop art is is dominated by vector graphics, slick looking design, digital perfection...

What Bansky (and some other graffiti artists) achieve is yanking us back to art in the "real" world using a very raw form.

(Ironic of course, is the fact that his work reaches so many, thanks to the digital world.)
