BLOG ASSIGNMENT #3 Brainwashed

Create a link on your blog to http://changethis.com/manifesto/show/66.01.Brainwashed so that your audience can read Seth

Godin’s “Brainwashed”.

Within the article, Godin talks about seven layers of reinventing yourself.  Briefly (150

words or less, total) summarize three of the layers: 

#1: Acknowledging the Lizard;

#2: Any two of the other seven layers that “speaks to you” (except Acknowledging the Lizard)

• Connect

• Be Generous

• Make Art

• Acknowledge the Lizard

• Ship

• Fail

• Learn

In a 400-500 word essay:

• Discuss how the Layers you summarized may, in some way, be connected to this

Blog that you are creating this quarter.  Speculate on whether or not these various

exercise make you a “better… artist, person, student, etc”

or…

• Explain why these exercises are worthless and a waste of time (of course, giving

suggestions on what might be a better use of time in class about the Creative

Process).
