In last last Tuesday Mr. Z talked about the fine lines and differences between Realism and Romanticism, between Abstraction and Representation, and between Pattern and Variation.
In class we took a vote on our preferences on pattern to variation ratio in everyday things in our own lives. We first took a vote on music preference, the majority of the class preferred 40% pattern to 60% variation, and there were zero votes for 80% pattern to 20% variation ration in choice of music. Next we took a vote on preference of Cypress College classes, friends, and then ourselves and the majority voted 50/50. We also took a vote on preference for a partner and the majority of the class voted 80% pattern to 20% variation.
I thought it was interesting that the only people wanted more variety in was music and wanted the least variety in a partner. I thought it was pretty funny when Mr. Z noticed that most people voted for a 50/50 between pattern and variety and pointed out that we were cowards & not wanting to commit. Overall I like to have some variation in every aspect of my life, but I think that having a pattern set down first is often a good way to become successful in life.
