For our final project of the semester we are supposed to take part in 5 learning to love you more project. Don't know what that is? Here is some info...
About:
Learning to Love You More is both a web site and
series of non-web presentations comprised of work made by the general
public in response to assignments given by artists Miranda July and
Harrell Fletcher. Yuri Ono designed and managed the web site.
Participants accepted an assignment, completed it by following the simple but specific instructions, sent in the required report (photograph, text, video, etc), and their work got posted on-line. Like a recipe, meditation practice, or familiar song, the prescriptive nature of these assignments was intended to guide people towards their own experience.
Since Learning To Love You More was also an ever-changing series of exhibitions, screenings and radio broadcasts presented all over the world, participant's documentation was also their submission for possible inclusion in one of these presentations. Presentations have taken place at venues that include The Whitney Museum in NYC, Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, Aurora Picture Show in Houston, TX, The Seattle Art Museum in Seattle, WA, the Wattis Institute in San Francisco CA, among others.
From 2002 to its close in 2009, over 8000 people participated in the project.

Part 1:
I chose number 45 which is re-read your favorite book from 5th grade.
My favorite book from 5th grade was 'Number the Stars' by Lois Lowry. It's about a girl who lives in Denmark with her family during WWII. Her best friend is Jewish and her family helps smuggle her and her family out of Denmark and into Sweden.
I remember it taking me longer to read it in 5th grade. Now it only took a couple hours if that.
