EULOGIES

RIP Bernie. In smaller letters: touch your own stuff.Underneath: an image of the face of a dragon or some sort of water serpent.It looks angry, despite the simply drawn 
heart at its mouth.A child-like image of a bunny is underneath it.The bunny appears to be waving, as one arm is raised and one arm is lowered. Next to these two 
images: Gustavo D, from Brasil. Underneath that name: Live life to the fullest!Britt 9/23/11.This quote is paired with a smiley face.A larger heart underneath the waving 
bunny outlines the name Eva Ruiz de Castilla.To the right of the heart, in large parenthesis: Dad we miss you dearly, Joyce Family.To the right of the parenthesis, a piece 
sign with the name Adela above it.Underneath, a moon, not outlined, but filled in next to a set of horizontal lines, presumably a representation of the sky.

Underneath and a little to the left is a geometric symbol with the following in parenthesis: After 56 years, I finally met my Dad.  God is Good.  Maxwell!  To the right of this: the capital letters OM.  The O has a vertical capital I through it.  Underneath OM: Love, Honor, Truth.  To the right, a small heart with the initials LMB and ALF.  Underneath, inside an oval: Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.  Signed: 866.  ’30 count.’  Underneath and outside the oval, the following names: Irene * David* Rocio too.  The name Dylan is written to the left of this oval.  In smaller letters next to the name Dylan: Nope.  Under: She was going up while I was coming down.  And next to a scribbled smiley face, Elton John lyrics: Ba-ba-ba-Benny + the Jets.  Underneath, They know!  They know, they know, they know.  

And to the right: Atlas (insert drawing of a heart) Shrugged.  And in block letters: Sup!  In regular print: Satan!  All the way to the left of the board is a drawing of a thumb and part of a hand, as if this hand is holding the board up from not falling.  At the bottom of the thumb: My mom & dad, Janet and Howard.  Decide.  A small drawing of a man next to the number 42.  Stefanie loves Russell.  Bottom left corner: OH-WOW sweet water.  

Back to the top: Touch your own stuff.  A large star with the 5 points decorated with stripes.  In between two of the points of the star is a sky with rain falling from it.  This image is dated 9/30/11.  In between two different star points is a small banner with the following: 30N3.  And next to this: You don’t know how lovely you are.  Three images of shooting stars with the following text in between them: Papi!  You are my shooting star.  Underneath this: Smoke weed and be happy… don’t worry.  To the left of this and overlapping the outline of a hand: To my father whom I’ve never seen a photo of & to my son who is miles away and that I never got to know, I love you, I hope you can understand.  

And in response to this and in a different handwriting: I understand.  Inside the outlined hand is an image of a cat that appears to be running or sliding.  Also: Leti is awesome!  Written alongside the outline of the pinky finger: Luck = opportunity that is taken advantage of.  Underneath this is an image of a female’s torso with a small waist and large breasts.  And a series of sentences: I can’t draw; Duke will lose today; Let the world change you and you can change the world; Be still my soul; I am so bloody bored with this place; Terminator once said “I will be back;” Paws up; Lindsay Lohan; Don’t lose yourself.  And in neat and large cursive letters surrounded by images of cocktail glasses, asterisks, stars, and music notes: Benny B.  Inside the loop of the letter Y in Benny: Solid Gold.  A detailed image of a rat’s profile is at the very bottom and it is looking up.  Back to the very top and nearer the center of the board: Delta Phi Epsilon.  To the right: an upside down cartoon image of a man.  More to the right: D.U.I.  Underneath: One day I’ll make you proud.  

Thx Mom! Love, Toni.  Around the center are a series of sentences in various directions and styles of writing: I love Satan; I love Frost Museum; Stop putting food in your mouth and you wouldn’t be fat; Porque todo que crea en el nose pierda mas tenga vida; God is love; Time is running out (next to a drawing of a clock with no hands to tell time); PSN = Herpenese; Let love be without hypocrisy, abhor what is evil, cling to what is good, Romans 12:9; Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good, Romans 12:21; Jorge, My brother I hope you’ll be good 9/20/11; For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life, John 3:10.  Amidst these sentences is an image of a cross with a banner flying behind it reading: The Suffering.  

Towards center-bottom: Fernando Francisco Blanco How problematic this pencil is gonna be the death of me, I wonder how my drawings are gonna come out in the piece of (unreadable).  At very bottom center, an image of a palm tree with 3 coconuts and a tiny stick man with a word bubble that reads hello.  Returning to the top and moving to the right of the center, under the letters D.U.I is an image of the country of Belgium.  Center right is an image of the country of Cuba and a star with the words: Cuba Libre.  As the ocean surrounds Cuba, a circular black space surrounds the image of Cuba, as no one else engraved here.  And similarly to the drawing of a sun’s rays, straight lines protrude from the image of Cuba and its freedom symbol.  

There are 44 lines of various lengths circling the image.  Lines extend long enough to reach all edges and corners of the plate.  A plethora of small doodles and sentences are amidst these lines drawn like sun’s rays: Freedom; What does time mean?  Chance and Opportunity; Te amo; This is great!  Ovo je strava! P.S. Dragana; Copy that; Smile; From the moment we are born, we begin to die…make each moment count; Hey y’all; Best of times are now; Jesus (crossed off and replaced by Satan) is Lord the blood of Christ washed all sins away you are made new; 666; In memory of Michael Genovese 1921- 1985, VFW – Chicago WWII; 9-11-01 Never Forget; All about peace; FIU School of Music; Live, laugh, love; Peter Metzler was here; Art is an attempt to bring order out of chaos; I’m awesome; 

It is better to lose one minute in your life than to lose your life in one minute; We loved the total “Art is Living” experience.  And the following images: a small cube, a hair bow, a very tiny sun, an elf with tall troll doll hair, a hairless stick figure, an evil face with a big hat in the shape of an ice cream cone; the cone is the face and the ice cream is the hat, perhaps a meatball with hair and a face and two legs, a balloon with a happy face, a child-like image of a house, a rectangle outlining a scale holding two empty trays at equal height with the text: I’m the Law, a fat Buddha, a large line drawing of a woman’s face, a camel, and an American flag. The top right corner: God is love.  An upside down image of some kind of a bottle is at the very top of the plate in the top right hand corner.  

Underneath and heading towards the bottom right hand corner: The sweet isn’t as sweet without the sour; Smacks and slaps; Never forget you; what looks like a think bubble from a comic strip with an image of the frontal view of a doggy’s face and the text: RIP my lil fluffy; an image of a right thumb and hand that appears like it is holding up the right side of the plate; Ruth loved you; One love (inside the outline of a heart);  Gesture.  


Stereotypes

Silence is not in my voice/ Bright are my hues/ You can’t color me/ I’m already colored
— S. Atis, 2011

STEREOTYPES

We are all one people one race some of us have melatonin, others not so much (protection from the sun), stop hating on other successful people (“Kate Moss = Coke”) and focus on yourself, only unhappy individuals feel the need to bring other down, Why do many penis drawings? Andre, And where are does the ‘trend’ originate from? SUPERBAD!, Everyone loves everyone, then they hate, Sticks and stones may break my bones and but words will NEVER hurt me!, ‘Born this way’ is an awesome inspirational song, but Lady Gaga, why did you copy Madonna’s exact background music?,  If you want to be the first to watch a movie before it hits theaters READ THE BOOK, and not the Kindle version… A BOOK!, Politics, Politics, Politics, corruption, money-hungry, lies, and unhappiness….*yawn*…over it. UNITE! No more hate! No more labels! Live in peace and harmony!  HarMONEY, Get Over Religion. It is only a means to control society “Because the Bible says so” is lame. It was written by a bunch of stuck up drunk dudes. Silence is not in my voice/ Bright are my hues/ You cant color me/ I'm already colored –S. Atis, As a very racially and sexually accepting person it is hard to read these words and not shake my head by these are publicly spoken things and sometimes sadly believed and applied to all who fit the description. Smoke Trees, YOU WRITE IN CAPS LOCK OF COURSE YOU’RE FUCKING LOUD, not all Cubans can swim, French people did not surrender, all prostitutes were art majors once upon a time, brick squad, if you’re Greek its because you have no friends, I AM CUBAN AND I DON’T TALK LOUD, 

 “Stereotypes” shows very aggressive statements about the view of people are different. Specifically homosexuals, black and while people. Although not all statements are bad, the board is still filled with words nobody would utter in casual conversation (Like how is bisexuals don’t “screw” everything on Earth). This board also isn’t safe from penises, as someone drew a “graph” of penis sizes of people, with Asians and ‘FIU male’ being the smallest and Blacks being the largest. And with most things drawn on the board appear to be jokes, this is a very predictable outcome when people are anonymously called to discuss stereotypes. - Christian Spencer

Looking at this wall makes me laugh a bit. As I’m reading over it I cant help but laugh at all the people who just missed the point. The stereotype wall was supposed to be a collection stereotypes. People either heard them, have been taught them, witnessed it happen to others or experienced being stereotyped themselves, this in no way implies that what you write is how you truly feel. It is interesting how when someone wrote a stereotype, it was usually preceded by a disgruntled response. The main item to spark negative responses was the several swastikas sprawled on the board. Almost all of them have been violently scratched out. One has been crossed out and someone noted that the person who wrote it was racist. It’s a stereotype board; it doesn't mean you feel that way. 

The rash reaction towards swastikas show the fast false association people generally make with well publicized symbols. Long before Hitler cemented his regimtee to the images of swastikas, it was a Buddhist symbol for good luck, drawn either facing left or right. The bigger one that was crossed out actually contains the dots placed within the symbol, typical in the Buddhist form and this was the one that was deemed racist by someone else on the board. One person even complained it was drawn the wrong way. It maybe a stretch but I think it’s a tell-tale sign of our society as it changes more into one that doesn’t question the knowledge presented to them as much as it should. Our information comes to us instantly; blogs, Twitter, Wordpress, email, websites, here say, I read it on my iPhone so it has to be true. We have become neurologically lazy and our critical eye has really shitty vision.  - Rene Gonzalez

STEREOTYPES

I’m a King.  Underneath: Did you enjoy your time?  If yes, then your time was not wasted.  To the right of the text and in block capital letters: JQ.  Underneath:  If you carry your childhood with you, you will never grow older.  This text is accompanied by a series of tiny images: music notes, a sun, clouds, two stick figures, one a male and one a female, holding hands, and a couple of little critters with faces, one which looks like it is blowing some steam.  Name corresponding with text + imagery: David Contes.  Written on an angle underneath: Think off-center.  George Carlin.  To the right of this: Mi madre Mis hijos Los amos.

Daniella

Etched into what appears to be a heart: Tierra mia pedazo de mi Corazon Nicaragua enohe besos.  Outside of the heart and at an angle: Go Panthers!  In the bottom left-hand corner in all capital letters: BLEED BLU.  BLU PHI.  Back to the top and a little to the left of the center appears the image of a tree with roots.  Signed: Sarah York 10/20/11.  To the right of the tree: Mind of a Maniac.  Underneath and in parenthesis: in-boxes.  Underneath and written in a word bubble: I love United Estates Gad Bleesion Cusebia.  Underneath and towards the bottom-left: the image of a flag separated into 3 horizontal sections and 7 stars in the center section.  Underneath and at the very bottom: Mama’s Baby Boy.  Moving on to top-center: Nesquik 2291.  The image of a bird standing as if facing the plate with wings spread open and one foot perched higher than the other.  Not in flight, but standing with its face pointing towards the very top of the plate.  To the left of the bird’s left wing: Proud to be American Latina.  A tad lower: The mystery that is Brian.  Underneath the bird’s left foot: I am what Karma dictates.  To the right of the bird’s right wing: I think therefore I am.  Underneath the image of the bird: Don’t stress me Just enjoy me (Like) – Life. 

To the left in decorated block letters: Romans 1:16 unashamed rebel.  Underneath and in order from center of the plate to center-bottom of plate are the following texts: MeMeMe; Being distracted shatters lives; Why I am…Me; Wayfaring Chameleon; Tell me why? Ain’t nothing but a heartache!  Just keep swimming ~ Dori; Don’t stare in my left eye Stare in my right eye My best eye; Don’t fear what you don’t know; Love prevails always; She is delightful and disarming; Live; Be yourself, even when the world is different – M.T.; Football; Keep calm and carry on…; Life is but a box of chocolates; C’est La vie.  Towards the center top-right: Fly me to the moon.  The image of a little bomb.  Underneath:  I am a man I am lover I am a survivor I am a fighter I am spiritual I am willing I am Sam.  A little arrow points from the name Sam to: Sam I am, Sam I Yam.  Nearby: Culture is pride, Pride is success.  To the right: an image that appears similar to a block letter D, but could also be the topographical view of a football and track field.  Many lines outline the image and engraved polka dots cover some of the surface area of this image.  Underneath: Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority Inc. – S. Medal.  More text: Well that was interesting; I was here; Never regret the past LEARN from it – Barbie (2011).  And finally from the top right corner to the bottom right corner: And remember… I will be with you ALWAYS, even until the end of the age – Jesus (accompanied by an image of a cross); an image of a childishly drawn star; Remember 3050 coming of children of kerenrky; a tiny image of a boat floating on water; I identify myself as part of the 99%; Broke and struggling; I am a (insert image of smile face); the image of a cube; the image of a Cuban flag; One day; (in block letters and written horizontally): Italy and Germany, and beginning from the a in Germany and written vertically and in the same style of block letters: Any+Bklyn; Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment is something that is more important than fear; (written in cursive) Take the ribbon from your hair Shake it loose let it fall. And finally, in the very bottom right-hand corner: The first step to failure is trying… but the first step to success is not being scared to fail.
