BLOG#5 - UNDIRECT - "Teotihuacan"

Wow! I knew this class was going to fasinate me and have my mind explore and admire my/our ancestors more and more.
Teotihuacan - "The place of those who have the road to the gods"
This city is very powerful. It planned by someone or a group of individuals who wanted to do it right the first time around.
Each road was a direct path to the four points of life. The book describes that miles away the structures still abide by the paths of these roads. The four directs of the world were known and worshiped.
"...as if humans sought to place their works in perfect harmony with the landscape." (Awesome)
Teotihuacanos created pyramids that were considered the 'tallest and largest structures in N. America until the twentieth century'. This statement really makes me wonder why my history teachers never taught me/us about this amazing civilization.

I like it when individuals begin to decipher placements of structures and objects in someone's masterpiece.

Teotihuacan can hold more secrets and knowledge of our univers than we can imagine. The image above is someone's theory but might be possible.

UNDIRECT BLOG#1

Olmec precious green stone human figure. The detail is perfect and the features on the figure are awesome. There are probably many more like this but might still be under ground or in a private collection somewhere.

This figure is funny and shows movement and a realistic siting position. Eyes are slanted and hands are detailed. Could be an important shaman or chef.

Chrystal skulls were found near Mayan ruins that seem to be from another world. Human hands could not have sculpted this dense material and the tools they used were way to primitive to make such detail. There are many mysteries and artifacts that I would like to study more about.

Frida is my Hero!

Frida never knew how much of an impact she would be on women/men and how much her paintings will change peoples attitudes on life. She suffered unimaginable pain, heart break, and critisism and lucky for us she chose to express herself by painting her life, her dreams, and her anguish.

Not sure if Frida had a nice house in the States, not sure if she drove a Mercedes Benz, but I do know she had a talent that did not hide anything do to shame or critisism. She perfectly described many things that artists and people could relate to. She described pain, feelings of hopelessness, and depicted the people she loved.

I am not sure how she persisted on painting things that brought her so much pain and sorrow.

Frida was very beautiful. Although she is not considered "pretty" in our society I consider her to be a very beautiful person all around. She was lucky in life to have found and loved one of the worlds best Muralist and in him found a little bit of hope.



Diego and Frida a combination with the likes of Paul McCarny & John Lennon.
