Joseph Cornell: “Life can have significance even if it appears to be a series of failures.”
-Cornell often used the shadow boxes to address recurrent themes of interest such as childhood, space, and birds, and they represented an escape of sorts for their creator, who was famously reclusive.
-Although he was never officially part of the Surrealist movement and came to dismiss the Surrealist label in relation to his own work, Surrealism was a major influence on Cornell, most notably inspiring his embrace of unexpected juxtapositions.
-Rejecting Surrealism's violent and erotic aspects, Cornell preferred instead what he described as the "white magic" side of Surrealism embodied by Max Ernst.
-Cornell played a major role in America Surrealism; in 1939, his art was famously described by Salvador Dalí as "the only truly Surrealist work to be found in America."
-During his early years, Cornell made collages, and would often buy books just so he could cut out the images inside.
I encountered my first difficulty when adding the script to make the ball roll on the plane. Looking from the tutorial, I am not sure if the ball will move automatically when press the play button, or do I need to press any keys to control the ball’s movement. Hence, when I press the play button, the ball did not move at all. It is until I attended the Dave’s office hour and ask him about what did I do wrong on my script or Unity that we found out I can actually press the arrow key to make the ball move. Also, Dave suggested that if we want to make the ball move right after I press play without pressing any keys, I can just add a line of code here:
movementY = 0.3f;
//f=floats=decimal numbers
Also, he suggested that you can add this Debugging line of code to see if anything is wrong. He also suggested to not add too much Debugging.console since it will consume the efficiency/time/space of how Unity can run the game, delete them after debugging.
Debug.Log(movementY);
