Congrats! You have successfully completed your first semester of college as an art major. I have one final post for you to complete before you leave for break. After reading Chapter 9 answer the following questions:
1. Why is art hard (according to the book)?
2. What is art hard (according to you)?
3. Through this first semester in drawing and design you have been learning techniques and terminology that will give you a foundation to start working in a variety of mediums and subject matters as you progress through your college career. Reflect on the semester in terms of what have you learned and the experiences you have had in all of your classes.
4. The book talks about the only work you can do convincingly is the work that focuses on the things you care about. After seeing some of the presentation by the professors, what are some of the ideals that you would like to communicate through your own artwork. What types of media are you interested in learning more about?
Please post your final response by Wednesday December 12, 2012 by noon. Also if you have any other posts that aren't posted, please publish them by the time and date listed above.
Have a safe and happy holiday season. I look forward to seeing all of you next semester in 2013.
Nadya Preszler
