== Personal Thoughts Midterm Project Proposal == '''Description''' My midterm project is to create an artwork using a very simple circuit. This project is purposely meant to be seen as a product on sale. It's called: "Heal the World: Fake Plastic Tree." The main goal is to contradict the objective of this product, since it is advertising for people to buy this product, save the world, grow more tree, and save energy. Because the material used to make the piece is plastic, the more the production of it grows, the less the earth is saved. Not only that, using the product would make no sense for what the consumer is supposedly making a statement for, e.g. "Go Green," "Grow More Trees," and "Save Energy." This product is made of plastic. It is in no way a tree, except for it being the word "Tree." Worst of all, it uses electricity. Together, this electric art project is about a ridiculous product made for what it's not.

== Midterm Project Proposal Personal Thoughts ==
I was born in Los Angeles, CA, and spent almost 14 years of my life growing up in Bangkok, Thailand. I came back to the United States for high school and began to see my path in the arts clearer. I am mainly inspired by the music of my several favorite bands to create my drawings, doodlings, and illustrations. I enjoy being around the art world, where people create things, whether it's in an audio or a visual form. I love how I feel when a piece could inspire and awaken my soul.
Transferring to UCSD in Fall 2009, I didn't really expect for the computing emphasis to be the way it is. I thought it would be more of web and graphic design. To be truthful, I was disappointed at first. However, now I feel that I am challenged by my classes to do things I've never thought I would be doing. I mean, this is what college is for. I should be learning about new things and also finding out about myself. Well, this class is also one of them. I mean, electronic? Not really my sort of thing. In fact, I didn'Description''t even know what soldering something meant until the first lecture, but this doesn't mean I am not going to try. It is one of my biggest challenge for the year and I know I have a lot to learn. And I will also learn a lot (and, hopefully, I can show to my brother that.. hey, see, I did this!)
