Hello all,
Well, setting up my blog and Gmail account was pretty simple, because I have done both before for one reason or another. I am less familiar with Blogger, so I am sure there will be things that I will learn this semester about this website. All I have to say about that is "Challenge Accepted". Learning about Blogger is just one of the many things I plan on taking away from this course. In general, I am expecting to walk away with a better understanding of the art world, because of this course. I want to learn about specific artists and their work. Hopefully the next time somebody asks me who my favorite visual artist is I will have an answer. Also, I am planning on learning about different forms of art and terminology that will help me better interpret other artists' work and their inspirations. Overall, hopefully I will walk away with enough information for me to have not only a better understanding of the art world, but a bigger appreciation for it as well.
As for taking an online course, it is no surprise to me. I have been taking online courses for a while and have learned how to be successful in them. It is all about time management, which is a skill I was forced to learn in college in order to get this far. I do work full time, so an online course helps me open up my work schedule to get all of my hours. I am a little apprehensive about taking an art class online, because it is usually a more hands on approached class, but I am sure it will work out fine. I know I can't be the only one that gets funny looks when I say I am taking an online art course. People think it is an abstract idea and don't understand how it will work, but I am an open-minded person that is looking forward to trying it out!
