First Day of Class!!!

Classes have begun again! New classes, new teachers and new experiences lay ahead. My name is Kelsey and I'm a chemistry major and art history minor. I really enjoy taking art courses probably because I don't get to express my ideas and creativity as a chemistry major as much as others. Since I was young I always loved to draw, paint and do silly arts and crafts. In high school I took a painting class that really sparked my interest in art. Although my focus is in science, art has become one of my favorite hobbies that often helps relieve my stress. Enrolling in Art 211H seemed like just another lecture course about the history and development of art. Meanwhile after reviewing the syllabus, the class is filled with exciting projects and topics that I've never studied. While the projects were overwhelming at first, the ideas of what I could produce for each and how has now heightened my excitement and creativity for the upcoming assignments. The professors enthusiasm and interest in the subject itself not only made the first day of class interesting but allows you to look forward to future classes. Although many of the art classes I've taken in the past taught me how to analyze and formally write about art pieces, I love that this course will allow me to create pieces instead. I hope to find a new sense of creativity and discover new abilities as an artist through this course. While some assignments may be more difficult than others each will broaden my horizon and teach me to think outside the box.
