I'm Ham, a third year architecture student and this is my blog.
I was recently introduced to The Cabinet of Dr Caligari in class and it is basically the best thing since flavored milk.
you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrg73BUxJLI
Dr. Caligari is basically the most elegantly dressed crazy man.
To paraphrase Sheldon Cooper: "Dr.Doom, Dr. No, Dr. Octopus...It occurs to me how many villains have high degrees, graduate school should do a better job of screening them out."
It also explained what Janie's mother is always going on about in Harriet the Spy.
I associated the movie with particular artists, and they served as inspiration for the first task of this class. (Please watch the movie for fear that my post may become esoteric)
