Bob Ross was the king, the god, the founder of the most popular genre of videos on the Internet: doing a mindless/calming task while.

Week 1 ā Looking Back
Week 1 served to be a great introduction to things, not only in terms of expectations regarding assignments and effort, but also simply getting to know Professor Whalen and beginning to loosely connect with other students. Even with something as simple as sharing our Wordle scores, I feel instantly more -
A bit of philosophy for a spring-touched day
Bob Rossās dulcet tones seem to be the perfect medium to convey life advice. Between his unbothered brushstrokes and lovingly aggressive brush whacking, Bob rattles off some one liners to, with some interpretation, live by. āWhen we use this big old two inch brush, it really doesnāt take too long to paint a canvas.ā 01:53, ā¦ -

Week 1
The process of making my own domain and setting it up and navigating how to use and post on their was a bit challenging.

Weekly Summary (Kinda)
So, I just added this class earlier today. After three classes of Spanish, I decided I needed to push the rest of that off a little bit further into my future. At least until I can figure out what the hell is going on, en espanol. So, here I am. I dug through a bunch ā¦ -
Self Actualization
I always strive to get something out of any class I take. Sometimes what I learn is how much I hate it, and never want to take anything like it again. Thatās probably why it took so long for me to start taking college-level math classes. Nevertheless, this class seems unique. Iāve had fully online ā¦ -
Letās Have Some Fun
The episode of The Art of Painting that I watched was entitled Dark Waterfall, from the 7th season of the series. I havenāt watched much Bob Ross recently, I used to, but not too often anymore. This episode focussed on the painting of a forested waterfall, based on a pre-prepared canvas with a blackened background. ā¦ -

Week One (of the Rest of My Life)
The first week is always an interesting one. Some will claim itās the easiest week where you learn the least and can pay very little attention, but Iād like to challenge that idea. I typically prefer to take the first week pretty seriously and actually really engage with the content -

GOALLLLLLSSSSSSS!!!!
Taking this course has already been eye-opening as to what I have been missing out with learning how to publish blog posts and navigate social media. I have always been one to steer away from using social media as I believe it has become toxic in society. However, I have always liked to keep an open mind, and I hope that DS_106 can help change my views with some of these social tools. I understand that I can not change the direction that social media has been going, but I believe that I can contribute towards changes that will helpā¦ -
Relaxinā with Ross
Hey everyone, what a week so far! For this weekās assignment, the video I watched was about a painting of an old barn. I enjoyed this episode and thought that the painting turned out well! I was curious to find out what price someone would sell an original Ross painting for today and found one for sale on eBay asking for $88,000! I believe that telling stories help lead to other ideas of future paintings and other mediums for art. As the viewer of Bob Ross, we can take his stories and help carry on his inspirational attitude and lovingā¦ -
