In the beginning of Wednesday's class, what still sticks out to me in my head is the classic rock (Tom Petty) that was playing as an example of disharmonious harmony. I like music and I play the guitar, so I really liked the comparison to that because I can see how the harmony of classic rock exists even if the singing is not smooth and harmonious.

I also found it very helpful how we went through all the different slides of buildings/structures with each representing a different canon that Jencks discussed in the reading. When I saw the different buildings/structures, at first I really did not even know what to think or what to connect it with, but as the class progressed, I started to see where the connections could be made.

I also just generally enjoyed taking a glimpse around the world at these amazing structures that I had never seen before. It is really fascinating to see all kinds of architecture and how it functions, whether that be as apartments, banks, or art galleries. The structures are all pieces of art themselves, and being able to be functional places just amazes me, especially when they have sharp edges and crooked placements! I do always wonder how these places look on the inside. It reminded me of the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum in Orlando. My friend brought me there last year and I was so shocked to see that it was crooked on the outside, but on the inside, it was a functional museum featuring even more crooked and outrageous exhibits inside!
