Jackson Peanut Reaction

The exercise with the peanuts was pretty fun. It was a good way to be relaxed but still learn something on how I view objects. It was odd because the whole time II wanted to write out the concept map or flow of my thoughts out of my head. That way whoever was viewing the peanut and the information  wrote about it would understand totally why I named my Peanut Rambo. 

It because I watched a movie satirizing the Rambo film over the weekend. So if you had me do the same exercise with the same nut like 2-3 days earlier or later I may have related it to something else in my recent past. So how many other works of art are the same way? What if the Mona Lisa was only named because of a small but intricate series of events and thoughts? 

It helped to give some depth and more character to art i see.
