Hi everyone, I'm Guady and this in my blog.... enjoy

Today was our first day of Concept Development with Jimmy Moss. Sadly, the 5 freeway was backed up more then usual so I arrived a solid 15 minutes late. Jimmy Moss used me as a great example and made it clear to the class that it was not ok to be late. We need to be there on time, everyday and ready to learn and participate. A few other classmates arrived after I did so I felt some what better for the time being.

We spent our time in class discussing critical thinking, experimental learning and perception. Jimmy Moss gave us a mandarin and grouped us into pairs. We then took turns telling our partner as much as we could about our mandarin. We were to pretend that this person could not see the piece of fruit and describe it as best as possible. We learned that everyones perception of the mandarins were different, not only because each mandarin was different  but also because we as individuals have different ways of perceiving things. 

Our task for the next 10 weeks sounds fairly simple. Render our mandarins on a daily basis using different techniques/mediums that show how we perceive our mandarin in its current state. If you know me, then you know that I am freakishly obsessed with eating mandarins already so we shall see how simple this truly turns out to be..
