Most of the paper done on coffee and snacks late last night. A little zombic today but worth it so I don’t have to stress about it during the day. I still need to finish it, but it shouldn’t be too bad. Maybe two more hours of work.

“For to perceive, a beholder must create his own experience. And his creation must include relations comparable to those which the original producer underwent.” (Dewey, “Art as Experience”, p.56)

Is this true? A perceiver’s experience must include parts of what the artist experienced when making the object (in order for “an aesthetic experience” to occur). I like the sound of it, but am uncertain I agree.

I need to figure that out before our presentation tonight. I meet with my group at 3:30 to practice for the 4:40 presentation. Then it’ll all be over, again.

I fell asleep listening to the Improv4Humans podcast, a weekly that consists of a group of rotating improv comedians who create improvised sketches off of words submitted to the audience via twitter. It’s a good way to konk out, with a smile your face, especially if it’s not usually that way.
